Charter Bus Company Mankato Reviews

We rented a 56-passenger charter bus from Charter Bus Company Mankato for our student trip to the Minnesota State Capitol, and everything was fantastic from start to finish. The kids loved having WiFi and power outlets, and the teachers appreciated how smooth and stress-free the whole day ran. The driver was super friendly and kept us on schedule despite heavy morning traffic out of Mankato. This is the second year in a row we've used Charter Bus Company Mankato for this trip, and we'll definitely be booking again next spring!

Just got back from a weekend trip to Minneapolis with Charter Bus Company Mankato, and I gotta say, these guys are awesome. We booked a 56-passenger coach for our church youth group, and everything went super smoothly. The bus showed up right on time, it was spotless inside, and the driver was friendly. He handled all the downtown traffic and made sure we got everywhere we needed to be without any issues. The kids loved having WiFi and power outlets to keep their phones charged, and the parents loved not having to worry about parking or driving in the city. The best part was how easy it was to book—just a quick call, got a quote, and they took care of the rest. I will definitely use them again for our next big event!

I talked to a nice lady on the phone who helped me book a shuttle for my wedding guests from the ceremony at Sibley Park to the reception downtown. The driver was early, the bus was spotless, and everyone got home comfortably. Super easy company to work with and very affordable compared to other quotes I got. Would definitely use Charter Bus Company Mankato again!

We are a college baseball team and used Charter Bus Company Mankato to get us to our game in Duluth. The bus was spotless, super comfortable, and exactly what we needed after a long day on the field. The driver was on time, friendly and got us back home comfortably late at night without any issues. This is definitely one of the best charter companies we’ve worked with—they know how to take care of sports teams and handle all the details so you can just focus on your event. I will be using them again next season!

Trips and Events in Mankato a 56 Passenger Charter Bus Is Great For

A 56-passenger charter bus is ideal for transporting large groups to and from major events or destinations anywhere in Minnesota or the Midwest. These buses excel at moving crowds efficiently, whether it’s shuttling wedding guests between venues, carrying sports teams and their fans to tournaments, or providing the best transit for corporate outings and conferences. They’re also perfect for school field trips, church retreats, and multi-day tours that require reliable, all-weather transportation. With ample seating and storage, this is the best option when you need to move dozens of people comfortably without splitting into multiple vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions About our 56 Passenger Charter Buses

Our fleet features top manufacturers such as the MCI J4500, MCI D4500, Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, and TEMSA TS45. These models are known for their durability, smooth ride, and advanced engineering, making them a favorite among operators and passengers alike. Each bus is equipped with a powerful diesel engine, automatic transmission, and air suspension for maximum comfort over long distances. We only run late-model coaches that meet the highest standards of reliability.

We offer a variety of color options including classic white, black, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. Custom wraps are available for groups who want to display their organization’s logo or branding across the entire vehicle. Whether you prefer a traditional look or something more distinctive, we have a bus that will match your style. Please specify your color preference when booking so we can accommodate your request.

Standard amenities include reclining cloth or leatherette seats with armrests and footrests, dual-zone HVAC, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a full-width rear lavatory with running water. Entertainment systems feature multiple flat-screen monitors, a DVD/Blu-ray player, PA microphone, and Bluetooth connectivity for audio playback. Most buses have WiFi routers and 110V/USB charging ports at each row. Additional features may include LED accent lighting, tinted windows, and hardwood-look vinyl flooring. Optional upgrades such as seatback tables, galley kitchens, or partition doors are available on select models.

Rental rates for a 56-passenger charter bus typically fall between $180–$500+ per hour, $1,800–$3,800 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. Final pricing is influenced by factors such as trip duration, total mileage, time of year, and whether the journey includes overnight stays or out-of-state travel. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, or special requests like custom wraps. The best way to get an exact quote is to contact us with your complete itinerary; we’ll provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs.

This is the largest option in our fleet, offering significantly more seating and storage than smaller minibuses or mid-size coaches. While minibuses are great for short hops around town or shuttling small groups, they lack the capacity and amenities needed for long-distance trips with lots of passengers. A 56-passenger coach provides the space, comfort, and features required for serious group travel, making it the preferred choice for large-scale events and extended journeys. It’s the most efficient way to move a big crowd with a single vehicle.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip coincides with peak travel seasons or major events. Spring and summer dates tend to fill up quickly due to weddings, graduations, and festival schedules. Large-scale events such as college sporting events, state fairs, or regional conventions can also impact availability across the region. Reserving early ensures you get the exact vehicle you want and locks in the best possible rate. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited to whatever is still available.
