Larger vehicles typically include flat-screen monitors, DVD players, and a restroom located at the rear of the coach.

Yes, most full-size charter buses (40 to 56 seats) are equipped with a restroom located at the rear of the coach. The restroom typically includes a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small sink or wash station. While suitable for emergency use, the facilities are compact and not intended for extended use. Minibuses (20 to 35 seats) generally do not have onboard restrooms due to space constraints. For longer trips, your driver can schedule regular comfort stops at rest areas or travel plazas.

Many newer charter buses are equipped with 110V power outlets located at each seating row or shared between pairs of seats. USB charging ports are also common and may be integrated into the armrests or seatbacks. If access to power is important for your group, please request a vehicle with full 110V service when booking your trip.

Yes, most modern charter buses offer onboard Wi-Fi as either a standard feature or optional upgrade. The connection is suitable for email, web browsing, and social media, but may not support streaming video or large downloads. Coverage can be limited in rural areas or during inclement weather.

Yes, full-size charter buses have generous luggage space with both undercarriage bays and overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. The exterior luggage bays can accommodate large suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items. Minibuses offer limited luggage space with only interior parcel racks and small rear storage areas. If your group has significant luggage or equipment, a full-size coach is recommended.

Charter buses typically seat between 18 and 56 passengers, depending on the model. Minibuses are available in 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger configurations, while full-size motorcoaches can accommodate up to 56 passengers. For larger groups, multiple vehicles can be arranged to travel together.

Loading and parking a charter bus in Maple Grove is easiest at larger venues with dedicated bus zones, such as the Maple Grove Community Center, Central Park, or area high schools (Maple Grove Senior High, Osseo Senior High). The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes and local event spaces often have designated areas for oversized vehicles. For corporate pickups, business parks near I-94 and Hwy 610 typically offer ample space for boarding.

Residential streets can be used for quick loading and unloading, but many neighborhoods have restrictions on oversized vehicle parking—so staging in a nearby lot is often required. If your group is departing for a longer trip, park-and-ride facilities such as the Maple Grove Transit Station (on Grove Circle) allow short-term bus parking and are easily accessible from major highways. Always confirm parking arrangements in advance, as some locations require permits or advance notice for charter bus staging.

It’s best to book your charter bus rental as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and summer are peak seasons due to weddings, school trips, and sports tournaments, so vehicles can book up quickly. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options.

Common longer itineraries include out-of-town sports tournaments, corporate retreats, and multi-day tours to destinations like Duluth, Chicago, or the North Shore. For overnight trips, the group is responsible for providing the driver with a hotel room.

Multi-day rentals are typically billed by the day plus mileage, with additional charges for tolls, parking, and driver expenses.

Yes! We can dispatch a bus to any city, whether it’s across the state or across the country. Common long-distance destinations include Chicago, Milwaukee, Des Moines, and Kansas City.
