20 Passenger Minibus

We offer 20-passenger minibuses in a wide range of colors to suit any event or organization’s branding needs: black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, yellow, and more. If you need something specific for a wedding, corporate event, or team trip, let us know—we can match most color requests. Custom wraps are also available if you want to add logos, advertisements, or graphics to the exterior of the bus. This is a popular option for sports teams, company shuttles, and promotional tours around the Twin Cities. Whatever look you’re going for, we have a vehicle that will fit the style of your event.

Standard amenities on our 20-passenger minibuses include high-back reclining seats with armrests, powerful front and rear air conditioning, overhead parcel racks for small bags, tinted windows for privacy, and a quality sound system with radio, CD player, and AUX input. There is a PA microphone at the front for making announcements to the group, and each row has individual reading lights. Additional features include USB charging ports at every seat, a flat-screen monitor at the front connected to a DVD player, and free Wi-Fi upon request. The aisle is wide enough for easy movement, and there are grab handles for safety. This is a comfortable, modern shuttle built for short and medium-length trips around Maple Grove and the greater Minneapolis area.

The cost to rent a 20-passenger minibus varies based on several factors including trip duration, distance, time of year, and exact pickup location. Rates typically range from $150–$440+ per hour, $1,610–$3,365 per day, or $4.00–$8.95 per mile. Longer trips that require the bus to be out for multiple days will be charged by the day, while shorter local runs may be billed hourly. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, or if a hotel room is needed for the driver on overnight trips. The best way to get an exact price is to call our office with your full itinerary—we’ll give you a custom quote that includes everything so there are no surprises. Peak seasons like summer wedding months or major event weekends may see higher demand and pricing, so booking early is recommended to lock in the best rate.

The 20-passenger minibus is larger than our 15-passenger model but still much smaller and more maneuverable than a full-size charter bus, making it ideal for medium-sized groups who need something bigger than a van but don’t require a 40- or 50-seat coach. It offers more seating and storage space than the smallest shuttles while remaining easy to drive and park in urban settings. Compared to larger buses, it is more affordable, consumes less fuel, and is better suited for short to mid-range trips where tight turning radius and quick loading/unloading are important. However, it does not have a restroom or underfloor luggage bays like the biggest coaches, so for very long journeys or when carrying lots of equipment, a larger vehicle might be preferable. This size hits the sweet spot for many local Maple Grove events and regional trips across the Twin Cities.

We recommend booking your 20-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rates, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons such as summer wedding months, spring break, or around major Twin Cities events like the Minnesota State Fair or large downtown festivals. Availability can become limited quickly during these times, and last-minute reservations may face higher prices or fewer options. If you’re planning a trip during the off-season, you may have more flexibility, but it’s always best to reserve as early as possible. Once you have your date and rough itinerary set, call us to get a quote and secure your vehicle. Early booking gives you the widest selection of vehicles and the most competitive pricing.

Luggage capacity on a 20-passenger minibus is moderate, typically allowing each passenger one smaller carry-on bag in overhead compartments above the seats. There is no separate underfloor luggage bay as found on larger charter buses, so all storage is either overhead or in the rear of the cabin if space is available. For groups traveling with more than just a backpack or briefcase—such as sports teams with duffel bags, or airport transfers requiring suitcases—some luggage will need to be stowed in the aisle or potentially occupy a few seats at the back of the bus. If your group has significant baggage, it’s important to discuss this at the time of booking so we can advise whether this size vehicle will be sufficient or if upgrading to a larger model with dedicated luggage bays would be better suited to your needs. For most local shuttles and day trips around Maple Grove, the available space is adequate, but for longer journeys with heavy packing, storage could become tight.
