Burnsville Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Burnsville

A charter bus is a large motorcoach that’s reserved for private use by a group, organization, or business. Unlike public buses with fixed routes and schedules, charter buses operate on the exact itinerary you choose—whether that’s a single round-trip to Buck Hill or an all-day shuttle loop between hotels and wedding venues in Eagan. The most common type seats 40–56 passengers, has cushioned high-back seats, overhead luggage racks, climate control, reading lights, and big windows. Many also include restrooms at the rear and TV monitors with DVD players.

We have one of the biggest fleets in Minnesota, so we can send any kind of bus you want. The main options are full-size charter buses (47–56 seats) from Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Setra, or Temsa; smaller minibuses (20–35 seats) from Grech, Turtle Top, Starcraft, or ElDorado; and sprinter vans (11–15 seats) for airport shuttles or corporate errands. All models come with cushioned seats, AC, reading lights, and luggage space. Premium features like Wi-Fi, power outlets, USB ports, TVs, DVD players, leather upholstery, or onboard restrooms are available on request.

The average price for a charter bus in Burnsville is $150–$250 per hour, but rates vary depending on size, amenities, trip length, and time of year. Weekend weddings at Crystal Lake Golf Club or summer camps to Valleyfair cost more than weekday shuttles within Dakota County. Minibuses are cheaper ($125–$200/hour), while sprinter vans start around $100/hour. Multi-day trips are usually billed by the day ($1,400–$2,400), and anything over 250 miles may be quoted by mileage. Use our instant online calculator to get an exact quote in 30 seconds.

Final prices depend on four main things: total trip distance, duration, bus size, and seasonal demand. Longer trips require more fuel and driver hours, so they cost more. Bigger buses with premium amenities are pricier than basic models. Peak seasons—like spring break, summer weekends, or major events at Target Center—push rates higher due to limited availability. Last-minute bookings may pay a surcharge. Extra requests such as multiple pick-up points, layovers, or special branding could add to the total. Tolls, parking fees, and driver gratuity are not included unless specified.

Booking is simple: call our office at 612-315-6980 or fill out the online form with your trip details (date, time, pick-up/drop-off addresses, group size, and any special requests). We’ll send you a free quote within minutes. If you like what you see, just pay the deposit to lock in your reservation. The remaining balance is due 30 days before departure. You’ll get a confirmation email with all the info, including driver contact number and exact pick-up instructions. Changes or cancellations can be made anytime—just ask!

Standard features include reclining cloth seats, individual reading lights, overhead storage racks, powerful HVAC system, and large tinted windows. Most full-size coaches have a restroom at the back and several TV screens linked to a DVD/CD player. Free Wi-Fi hotspot and 110V power outlets are available on 80% of the fleet. Other options include USB charging ports, PA microphone, luggage bays under the floor, cup holders, armrests, footrests, and emergency exits.

Call us anytime or fill out our online request form. Share your travel date(s), departure location, final destination, number of passengers, and any planned stops (e.g., meal breaks, rest stops).

We’ll send you a fast, free, all-inclusive price quote based on your needs and availability. There’s no obligation until you’re ready to book.

Charter buses can load/unload at most public areas with advance planning. Common spots include Burnsville Center’s outer lot, Ames Center’s designated loading area, Nicollet Commons Park bus zones, and parking areas near Alimagnet Park. For weddings or private events at venues like Crystal Lake Golf Club or Ames Center, work with your venue contact to reserve a staging area away from main entrances. Downtown Burnsville pickups typically use curb space along Nicollet Avenue. Overnight bus parking can be arranged in secure lots near Highway 13 or Burnsville Parkway.
