More About School Buses
Heading to Bell Museum (2088 Larpenteur Ave W, St. Paul, MN 55113) with a small class of 14 students and three chaperones? A Type A mini or Type B small school bus seats approximately 10 to 24 adults and is the right fit — nimble enough to navigate the University of Minnesota campus loop without circling the block, and sized so you're not paying for 30 empty seats. Coordinating a larger group headed to Minnesota Zoo (13000 Zoo Blvd, Apple Valley, MN 55124) or making the run down I-494 for a multi-school event?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults and offers capacity for larger headcounts. Through this website, you compare both types side by side from a network of companies serving Minneapolis — so you match the bus to your actual group size instead of guessing.

Common Amenities Available on Minneapolis School Bus Rentals
Renting a school bus in Minneapolis isn't just about moving bodies from one address to another — it's about keeping your group comfortable and organized from pickup to drop-off. Type C full-size school buses typically include overhead storage for backpacks and gear, climate control to handle a January run down I-94 or a muggy August afternoon near Lake Nokomis, and high-backed bench seating built to hold a full group without anyone doubling up awkwardly. Smaller Type A and Type B models still deliver the essentials — forward-facing bench seating, climate control, and enough undercarriage clearance to load equipment for a sports team headed to the National Sports Center (1700 105th Ave NE, Blaine, MN 55449).
Amenities do vary by bus and by company, and through this website you can easily compare what each vehicle in the network includes before you continue to the booking platform.
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
PA/microphone system with AM/FM radio
Air conditioning on select vehicles
Under-seat storage for bags and equipment

How much does a School Bus cost in Minneapolis?
Minneapolis school bus rental prices run $205 to $365 per hour on weekdays, $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670 to $2,335 per day for full-day bookings. Those ranges shift based on the bus type, how far you're going, how many stops you need, and the time of year — a round-trip to Walker Art Center (725 Vineland Pl, Minneapolis, MN 55403) on a Tuesday afternoon prices out differently than an all-day Saturday run during peak fall season. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to enter your date, group size, and pickup location into the online quote tool — you can review results from a network of companies after continuing to the booking platform, with no account needed.
