Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — your pickup city, destination, group size, and timing — or call 763-250-6460. You are immediately taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of independently owned operators serving the Brooklyn Park area, and right there on their site you browse available vehicles, see trip-specific pricing, and book the bus you want online.
What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — the whole thing takes minutes.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you started. The more detail you add — your specific stops, start and end times, how much luggage the group is carrying, and any amenities the trip needs — the more accurate your quote comes back and the better a match you get for your actual trip.
More detail in means a more useful result out.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the national booking company's website. no waiting for someone to call you back the next morning. If you would rather talk through the trip with someone first, call 763-250-6460 and a live agent can walk you through your options.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type rewards booking further ahead. That said, because Brooklynparkcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving Brooklyn Park rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 763-250-6460 even on short notice.
You may be surprised what comes back.
All of those can be requested. An hourly or as-directed booking keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and is great when the itinerary is flexible. A one-way transfer moves your group from one point to another.
A round-trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several destinations — a brewery loop through Maple Grove and Northeast Minneapolis, for example. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits comes down to your specific trip. If your itinerary has multiple stops or runs overnight, lay out the full route and timing with the request so your quote comes back priced correctly from the start.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Pricing is not one size fits all — there are different packages and a number of things that move a quote, so those ranges are a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see numbers for your actual trip is to fill out the form on this page and get pricing in seconds.
Or call 763-250-6460; going through your trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you would find navigating on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short run of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly — a game-day shuttle from Brooklyn Park to Target Field (1 Twins Way, Minneapolis, MN 55403) or a wedding guest loop to a venue in the Lake Minnetonka corridor, for instance. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the metro — may carry a per-mile charge instead.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submit your actual trip and the structure that applies comes back with the quote.
What moves the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is in the Brooklyn Park and Twin Cities market. What you can actually do about it: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime trips cost less than those same evenings. Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity.
Grouping riders into one or two pickup points — say, one stop at North Hennepin Community College (7411 85th Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445) rather than five scattered addresses — cuts the hours on the clock and the total on the quote. And on busy Brooklyn Park dates like prom weekends in May or Schwan's USA Cup in July, booking earlier simply means more vehicles available at better prices.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule — rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. Your group has the whole bus, the whole time, going exactly where you need to go.
On the outside: a full-size coach body, high windows running the length of the vehicle, and luggage bay doors along the bottom skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black or a solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up for your trip will not always look identical to another. On the inside: forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, seat fabric in cloth or leather depending on the make and model, overhead parcel racks running the full length of the cabin, and a restroom toward the rear.
Common full-size models include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all 45-foot coaches built to the same general layout, with variations in interior finish and seating configuration.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features vary by make, model and operator, so "may include" is the accurate framing — what a specific vehicle carries is confirmed during booking. If certain amenities matter for your trip, note them with your details when you request the quote.
That narrows which vehicles come back to the ones that actually fit your group's needs.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common configuration on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom takes seats out, and a wheelchair position does the same.
Because Brooklynparkcharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach available for any given trip depends on what is in the network for your date. Submit the trip or call 763-250-6460 if the group needs a specific passenger capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches configured with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for the view. The standard layout gives every passenger a window or aisle seat and a clear line to the front of the cabin.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you need something to measure against: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the number that matters when you are working out whether the bus fits a venue's loading lane or a parking area.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and those are worth noting if the trip involves tight urban streets or a venue with a constrained approach. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design for 12 feet. If you need something to picture: a little taller than a single story of a house. That is the number to check against any parking structure, covered loading area, or low bridge on the route.
Most open roadways and surface lots in the Twin Cities metro are built to accommodate full-size coaches without issue, but a covered garage or a low-clearance venue approach is worth confirming before the trip.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One point worth knowing: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. The other thing worth setting honestly: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy bandwidth work at once.
If WiFi matters for your group, note it with your trip details when you request the quote. That filters results to vehicles that have it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so the group does not have to stop, though on a longer run like a trip from Brooklyn Park to the Twin Cities' outer suburbs or further, the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. Features may vary by vehicle, so note it with your trip details if an onboard restroom is a must-have for your group.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms for your group: on a run from Brooklyn Park to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (4300 Glumack Drive, St. Paul, MN 55111) or a longer multi-hour trip, the group can keep phones and laptops charged the whole way.
Note it with your trip details if the group needs it, and that narrows results to vehicles equipped with it.
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin. Underneath, undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the coach on both sides.
A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks. Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, trade show materials — takes the space of several bags.
If your group is carrying anything oversized, state it with the trip details so the right coach is matched to what you actually need to move.
Charter Bus Service in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
The network serves just about any group trip you can plan from Brooklyn Park. Airport transfers to and from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) are one of the most common runs. Corporate travel and employee shuttles serve the major employers in the Brooklyn Park corridor.
Wedding shuttles move guests between hotel blocks and venues across the northwest metro. Concert and sporting event transportation gets groups to Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, and Target Center without the parking scramble. School and church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and winery tours, prom, and long-distance travel to other cities and states are all workable through the network.
If your group needs to get somewhere together, there is a bus for it.
The network serves Brooklyn Park and the surrounding Twin Cities northwest metro, including Maple Grove, Champlin, Coon Rapids, Blaine, Plymouth, Osseo, Crystal, New Hope, Robbinsdale, Golden Valley, Anoka, Rogers, and Elk River, as well as destinations across the broader metro including Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Those are examples, not a complete list. Enter your full route in the quote form or call 763-250-6460 to check any city not listed here.
A few dates pull the whole northwest metro market at once. Prom season across Osseo Area Schools (ISD 279) — Park Center Senior High, Maple Grove Senior High, Osseo Senior High, and Champlin Park High — falls in April and May, and party buses across the entire area book out fast during those weeks. The Schwan's USA Cup at the National Sports Center in Blaine (1700 105th Ave NE, Blaine, MN 55449) in July draws tens of thousands to the area and tightens availability across the northwest metro.
Minnesota State Fair runs late August through Labor Day, drawing nearly two million attendees to St. Paul. Vikings home games at U.S. Bank Stadium, Twins games at Target Field, and graduation weekends in May round out the calendar. New Year's Eve is the single busiest night of the year.
On those dates, the practical move is to book well ahead. Short-notice requests are still worth submitting — the network is larger than any one operator's yard.
Planning Your Brooklyn Park, Minnesota Charter Bus Trip
The primary airport for Brooklyn Park groups is Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), approximately 22 miles southeast via I-694 E and I-494 E, a 25 to 40-minute drive off-peak and 45 to 70 minutes during rush hour.
