A charter bus is a large, private vehicle rented by a group to travel together on a schedule and route they choose. Unlike public buses or pre-set tours, a charter bus goes exactly where and when you want—whether that’s a one-way trip to downtown Minneapolis, a multi-day outing to Duluth, or a wedding shuttle between Brooklyn Park hotels and your venue. Most full-size charter buses in Brooklyn Park seat 50–56 people, but you can also get smaller minibuses (15–35 seats) for compact groups. Buses are driven by a professional driver and typically include comfortable reclining seats, strong air conditioning, luggage storage, and optional amenities like WiFi or video screens.

Most modern charter buses are about 40–45 feet long, 8–9 feet wide, and 11–12 feet tall. They have a boxy, aerodynamic shape with a large windshield, smooth sides, and tinted windows running the length of the cabin. There are usually two or three doors: a main entry door at the front (with steps), and one or two emergency exits toward the rear. Luggage compartments are located under the floor on both sides of the bus, with additional storage racks inside above the seats. The exterior is typically painted white, black, silver, or another solid color, but custom graphics or wraps can be applied for an extra fee. LED headlights, marker lights, and taillights are standard.

A standard full-size charter bus seats 50–56 passengers, depending on the exact model and interior layout. Popular models like the Van Hool CX45, MCI J4500, and Prevost H3-45 can be configured with 50, 52, 54, or 56 seats. Some versions offer as few as 47–49 seats if extra legroom or larger restrooms are installed. Seats are arranged in pairs on each side of a center aisle, with 23–28 rows from front to back. Smaller groups can book a minibus (15–35 seats), while very large groups may need two or more full-size coaches. The seating capacity is always specified when you request a quote.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people can rent a charter bus! In Brooklyn Park, we commonly work with schools (field trips, sports teams), businesses (employee shuttles, corporate events), wedding parties (guest transportation between venues), sports fans (game-day travel), church groups, senior organizations, and families planning reunions or special outings. We also provide emergency evacuation services and military transportation. Whether you’re coordinating a single event or need ongoing service, we can help you find the right vehicle.
