No — Busrentalbrooklynpark.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving the Brooklyn Park area. Once you submit your trip details, you move on to a national booking platform where you review the available options and book the vehicle that fits your group.
The transportation itself is carried out by independent operators serving your area.
You fill out one form — or make one call to 612-453-3777 — and you're immediately looking at more options and more price points than you'd get by reaching out to a single local company. Instead of calling operators one at a time, waiting on callbacks, and comparing quotes that never quite line up, you see vehicles and pricing side by side in seconds. That's your time saved, and that's the whole point.
An independently owned transportation company serving Brooklyn Park. When you fill out a quote, you're taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits the trip — what you're selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not picking a company off a list. The transportation company confirmed to your booking is communicated to you after you book through the platform.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 612-453-3777 — and you go straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving the Brooklyn Park area, and their results page shows you what's available for your trip. What you're choosing there is a vehicle and a price.
Book the bus you want directly on their website, all in just minutes.
Your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are in your group, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give — your stops, start and end times, luggage needs, and any amenities that matter to the group — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the options you'll find. More detail means a better match.
Right away — there's no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the booking company's website. If you'd rather go through it with someone, call 612-453-3777 and a live agent can walk you through the options and help put together a package that fits your trip.
The earlier the better on a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type means going further ahead. That said, because Busrentalbrooklynpark.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Brooklyn Park area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — and that's a real advantage over calling a single company and being told no. Submit your request or call 612-453-3777 even on short notice.
It's always worth asking.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a block of time on your schedule. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself — and if you're planning a multi-stop or overnight itinerary, lay the full route out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
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 isn't one size fits all — different packages and a number of factors move a quote up or down, so those ranges are a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see a number for your actual trip is to fill out the form and see pricing in seconds.
Or call 612-453-3777; going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you'd find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100- to 200-mile mark, or heading well out of the area — 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. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies.
The type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move the price. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday; daytime prices lower than those same nights. Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity, and grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock.
In Brooklyn Park, prom weekends in late April and May, Vikings home Sundays at U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Minnesota State Fair stretch in late August through Labor Day are among the highest-demand stretches of the year — those dates cost more and fill faster than any other time. Book ahead on those, and submit the full trip details so the quote comes back as tight as possible.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — with its own route and schedule — rather than riding a fixed public route. It's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people depending on the make and model.
On the outside, it's a full-size coach body — high windows running the length of the vehicle, luggage bay doors along the bottom panel, and a profile roughly three cars parked end to end. 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 won't always look identical. Inside, you'll find 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 length of the cabin, and a restroom toward the rear.
Common makes on the road include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all full-size 45-foot coaches with the same general interior layout.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi and power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may vary by make, model, and operator, so no specific vehicle is guaranteed to carry every item on that list — the exact amenities are confirmed during booking. If certain features matter to your group, note them with your trip details when you submit the request; that narrows which vehicles come back.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model — with 56 the most common build 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 and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
Extra legroom or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the same coach. Because Busrentalbrooklynpark.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available — submit the trip or call 612-453-3777 if your group needs a specific 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 built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline. Those figures apply to the standard full-size 56-passenger build.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide — roughly three cars parked end to end, which gives you a real sense of the footprint when you're working out whether one fits a particular loading area or parking spot. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, but 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 overhead clearances for 12 feet. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That's the number to check against any garage, canopy, or covered loading area your group might be passing through.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. It's an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies. One thing worth knowing before the trip: 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 work at once.
If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you submit the request; that narrows which vehicles come back.
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 doesn't have to stop, though on a long run the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. Features may vary by vehicle, so note it with the trip details if an onboard restroom is important to 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 practice, it means a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run from Brooklyn Park to Chicago or Duluth without hunting for a plug at a rest stop.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run the length of the vehicle underneath it. 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 per person 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 like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several bags. If your group is traveling with oversized items or a particularly heavy load of luggage — say, a team heading to a tournament or a group flying out of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) with full suitcases — state it with the trip details so the right coach gets matched to the group.
