Several factors influence the final price of your Bloomington charter bus rental: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size bus), the total distance traveled, the duration of the trip (single-day vs. multi-day), the time of year (peak season vs. off-season), and any additional amenities or special requests. Longer trips with multiple days will generally cost more than short local transfers, and peak travel seasons may see higher rates due to increased demand.

Additional expenses not included in the base rate can include tolls, parking fees at your destination, and hotel accommodations for your driver on overnight trips. Always get a detailed quote upfront so you understand exactly what’s included and what isn’t.

Your quote includes the bus rental, a driver, and fuel for the entire trip based on your itinerary.

You’ll receive a complete breakdown of all costs before you sign your contract so there are no surprises.

You should book your Bloomington charter bus rental at least six months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing—especially if your trip falls during the busy spring and summer travel seasons. Popular dates around major events (like the Minnesota State Fair or large conventions at the Mall of America) tend to sell out quickly, so locking in your reservation early guarantees you get the vehicle you want at a price that fits your budget. Last-minute bookings are possible if equipment is available, but selection may be limited and rates can be significantly higher due to increased demand.

Bus Rental Company Bloomington offers several different bus types to suit groups of any size, including 18-passenger minibuses, 20-passenger minibuses, 25-passenger minibuses, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses.

Large group heading to a Gophers game or the State Fair? The 56-passenger bus has room for everyone plus luggage.

Modern charter buses come equipped with a range of amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable and entertained throughout the journey. Standard features include cushioned reclining seats, powerful air conditioning, overhead storage compartments, individual reading lights, and PA systems for announcements. Most vehicles also offer flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, 110V/USB power outlets at every row, and onboard WiFi for streaming content or getting work done on the road. Larger models may feature rear-mounted lavatories, forward-facing tables, and even galley areas for serving refreshments.

Yes, all 56-passenger full-size charter buses are equipped with a clean, functional restroom located at the rear of the coach. The onboard lavatory includes a toilet, sink, and hand sanitizer dispenser, making it easy for passengers to freshen up during longer trips without having to wait for the next rest stop. Please note that minibuses (18–25 seats) do not have bathroom facilities, so plan accordingly if you’re booking one of these smaller vehicles. For groups traveling with children or seniors, we recommend scheduling regular breaks at highway service plazas to ensure everyone stays comfortable.

Yes, most modern charter buses and minibuses are equipped with either 110V electrical outlets or USB charging ports at each row of seats, allowing passengers to charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices throughout the trip. Older vehicles may only have outlets at the front or rear of the cabin, so be sure to specify if you need access at every seat. Power outlets make it easy to stay connected, catch up on emails, or stream entertainment without worrying about battery life. If constant connectivity is essential for your group, ask your reservation specialist to confirm the exact setup before booking.
