We operate 365 days a year, providing continuous support for government and military clients across Mankato and beyond. Our dispatch center is always open to handle emergencies, reroute vehicles, or deploy additional resources as needed.

Commuter Shuttles for Essential Workers

Keep your essential workforce moving with private commuter shuttles tailored to your agency’s schedule. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many public transit systems reduced service or suspended routes altogether, leaving essential workers struggling to get to their jobs. A dedicated shuttle ensures that police officers, firefighters, healthcare providers, and utility crews can travel comfortably between home and work without relying on crowded trains or buses.

Set pickup times and locations that align with shift changes, overtime hours, or remote parking lots. Onboard amenities like free WiFi and USB charging ports allow passengers to stay connected during the ride. For added peace of mind, choose a bus with washable vinyl seats and powerful HVAC systems that circulate fresh air throughout the cabin.

Training Exercises and Drill Weekend Transportation

Coordinating transportation for military training exercises or National Guard drill weekends requires precision and attention to detail. Charter Bus Company Mankato has extensive experience working with units based at regional armories, ROTC programs at Minnesota State University, and other defense organizations across the state. We’ll make sure your troops arrive at Camp Ripley, Fort Snelling, or any designated training area ready for action.

Transporting large groups of personnel and equipment over long distances is no problem for our team. Full-size charter buses offer generous luggage space for rucksacks, weapons cases, and field supplies, while smaller shuttles can be used for intra-base movements or range rotations. If your exercise spans multiple days or locations, we’ll provide continuous support and adjust plans as needed.

Disaster Response and Emergency Evacuation

In times of crisis, you need a transportation partner you can count on. Charter Bus Company Mankato is ready to assist with disaster response and emergency evacuation efforts anywhere in Minnesota. Whether it’s moving residents out of harm’s way during a flood, transporting first responders to a wildfire staging area, or delivering relief supplies to a storm-damaged community, we have the resources and expertise to get the job done.

Our large-capacity buses are ideal for evacuating vulnerable populations such as nursing home residents or hospital patients. We can also set up mobile command centers or temporary shelters using vehicles equipped with restrooms and climate control. During recent emergencies, we’ve worked closely with agencies like FEMA, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, and local emergency management teams to provide critical support under challenging conditions.

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!
