Why Schools Choose Minneapolis Minibus Company for Student Transportation
Schools across the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area trust Minneapolis Minibus Company because we make trip planning easy, affordable, and fully customizable. Our team is available 24/7/365 to answer questions, provide quotes, and build custom itineraries tailored to your exact schedule and budget. We understand that every school group has unique needs, so we offer flexible packages ranging from single-day charters to multi-week contracts covering multiple campuses or destinations.
You’ll also love our commitment to customer service: once you book with us, you’ll have access to live support before, during, and after your trip. If anything changes—like departure times, headcounts, or pickup locations—just call our dispatch line anytime and we’ll handle it immediately.
A Fleet Built for Any School Event or Destination
Our diverse fleet includes vehicles sized for any type of school outing—from small-group minibus shuttles (18–35 seats) perfect for after-school club competitions or campus tours at the University of Minnesota, Macalester College, or Augsburg University, to full-size motorcoaches (47–56 seats) ready to move entire grade levels across the state. Planning an overnight trip to Duluth, Rochester, or even Chicago? Choose a charter bus with reclining seats, individual reading lights, power outlets, free WiFi, DVD players with flat-screen monitors, and onboard restrooms so students stay comfortable and entertained on long rides. For shorter excursions around town—to places like the Minnesota Zoo, Como Park Zoo & Conservatory, Mill City Museum, or Walker Art Center—a compact minibus offers quick loading/unloading and easy maneuverability through city streets.
If you’re organizing something really big—like transporting thousands of attendees to a graduation ceremony at U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Center, or Allianz Field—we can deploy multiple buses simultaneously and run continuous loops between venues and satellite parking lots. Just tell us what you need moved, where, and when; we’ll handle the logistics.
Comfortable, Modern Buses With Premium Amenities
Give your students and chaperones a ride they’ll actually enjoy! Many of our charter buses come equipped with cushioned seats that recline, armrests, footrests, and seat belts for everyone onboard. Overhead parcel racks keep backpacks and jackets out of the aisles, while large undercarriage bays provide ample storage space for band instruments, athletic gear, science projects, or camping equipment.
Stay connected en route with high-speed WiFi and 110V power outlets at every row—perfect for streaming educational videos, submitting assignments via Google Classroom, or charging phones before a day at Valleyfair or the Mall of America. Multiple flat-screen TVs linked to a DVD/Blu-ray system allow you to show documentaries related to your destination (like “Night at the Museum” before visiting the Bell Museum). An integrated PA microphone makes it easy for teachers to address the entire bus without shouting. And if you’re heading more than an hour outside city limits, having a restroom onboard means fewer unscheduled stops along I-94, I-35W, or Highway 169.
Custom Schedules and Routes Statewide
One of the biggest advantages of booking a private charter bus is having total control over your itinerary. Unlike traditional yellow school buses or public transit options like Metro Transit, Northstar Commuter Rail, or MVTA, we operate on your timetable—not the other way around. Want to leave campus at 8:45 AM sharp so you can beat rush hour traffic on I-394 or Hiawatha Avenue? No problem. Need us to swing by multiple pickup points across neighborhoods like Uptown, Linden Hills, Nokomis, or Dinkytown before heading out? We’ve got it covered.
Once you arrive at your main destination—whether that’s a museum, theater, nature reserve, or college campus—we can either park nearby until it’s time to go home or provide shuttle service between several sites throughout the day. For example: dropping off a STEM class at The Works Museum in Bloomington while looping back to bring another group to the Bakken Museum near Bde Maka Ska, then regrouping everyone for a joint lunch break at Minnehaha Falls Pavilion.
Afterward, we’ll return everyone safely back to the original departure point—or even split drop-offs if some students need to be let out closer to their homes in suburbs like Maple Grove, Burnsville, Eagan, or Woodbury. Just send us your agenda and we’ll map out the most efficient routing possible.
Proudly Serving All Minneapolis-st. Paul Schools and Districts
Minneapolis Minibus Company works with public, private, charter, and parochial schools across Hennepin County, Ramsey County, and beyond—including Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS), Bloomington, Edina, Richfield, Hopkins, Robbinsdale, St. Louis Park, Roseville, and more. We also serve local colleges like the University of Minnesota, Augsburg, St. Thomas, Hamline, Macalester, and community colleges such as Minneapolis College and Saint Paul College. Whether you’re based downtown, in the suburbs, or outstate, we’ll send a bus wherever you need one—from Brooklyn Park to Lakeville, Stillwater to Minnetonka, or even across the river to Hudson, WI.
Popular field trip destinations we regularly service include the Minnesota Zoo, Como Park Zoo & Conservatory, Science Museum of Minnesota, Mill City Museum, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Bell Museum, Bakken Museum, Children’s Theatre Company, Guthrie Theater, Orpheum Theatre, Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, Fort Snelling State Park, Minnehaha Regional Park, and the Mall of America. Planning something farther afield? We can just as easily take your group to Duluth’s Great Lakes Aquarium, the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, or even out-of-state spots like the Wisconsin Dells or Chicago’s Museum Campus.
