Charter Bus Rentals St Paul, Minnesota

You can expect to pay $197–$519 per hour or $1,600–$3,800 per day for a charter bus rental in St Paul. Minibuses typically cost $150–$400 per hour, while full-size motorcoaches run $250–$500+ per hour depending on amenities and exact seating capacity.

A typical charter bus quote in St Paul includes the base rental fee (charged by hour, day, or mile), plus any additional costs for mileage, tolls, parking, and driver accommodations. Here's what real-world examples look like:

Example #1: A corporate client needs a 56-passenger coach to shuttle employees from downtown St Paul to a retreat center in Brainerd and back over two days. They receive a quote for $3,400 including 300 miles of travel, with an additional hotel room charge for the driver. Final cost after adding a 10% gratuity: $3,740.

Example #2: A wedding party books a minibus to run guests between the ceremony at Como Park and a reception venue in Lowertown. The five-hour rental is quoted at $1,200, with no extra mileage fees since everything is within city limits. They tip the driver $150 at the end of the night. Final cost: $1,350.

Example #3: A middle school band from Rochester arranges transportation to a weekend competition at the Ordway Center. Their 40-seat bus is priced at $2,100 for the round trip, plus $75 for parking near Rice Park. The director rounds up with a $250 tip. Final cost: $2,425.

Example #4: A group of Vikings fans hires a charter to U.S. Bank Stadium for a Sunday game. Their package rate covers the entire day at $1,900, but they must secure a $100 bus parking permit through the stadium’s online system. With a $200 gratuity added, total expenses come to $2,200.

These examples show how final pricing depends on factors like trip length, vehicle size, and local surcharges—but most full-size charters run $2,000–$4,000 for multi-day or out-of-town itineraries, while shorter urban rentals can be significantly less.

Charter bus pricing in St Paul is influenced by several key factors: the size and type of vehicle you select, the total distance and duration of your trip, current demand based on seasonality, and any special events happening locally that may affect availability. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for multi-day trips can also impact the final cost. Major events like Minnesota State Fair, Twin Cities Marathon, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Crashed Ice, Cinco de Mayo West Side Festival, Grand Old Day, Ecolab executive meetings, corporate conferences at Saint Paul RiverCentre, and weddings at venues like Landmark Center or Union Depot.
