St Paul Party Buses, Charter Buses & Minibuses

The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right call when the group is small but the occasion isn't. Think bridal party pickups on Summit Avenue, a birthday dinner at Meritage in downtown St. Paul, or a pregame run to Grand Casino Arena (formerly Xcel Energy Center) without circling the W7 ramp. Premium leather, privacy glass, and individual climate zones make the ride feel separate from the event itself — in a good way.

Weekday hourly rates run $200–$325; weekend hourly $225–$350.

The Sprinter Van Rental with Driver is a clean, no-fuss solution for airport runs, corporate transfers between downtown St. Paul and the Minneapolis Convention Center, or shuttling a smaller team from a hotel block on Kellogg Boulevard to an event at RiverCentre. Comfortable reclining seats, overhead storage, and climate control — without the party-bus footprint. Weekday hourly rates typically range $200–$275; weekend hourly $225–$375.

Fifteen people is the sweet spot for a bachelorette night through Lowertown — starting at The Bulldog Lowertown, rolling to the bars on 7th Street West, and finishing wherever the night takes you. A 15-passenger party bus handles that circuit without the parking headache on a crowded Friday in the North Quadrant. LED lighting, a sound system, and perimeter seating keep the energy going between stops.

Weekend hourly rates run $250–$350.

An 18-passenger party bus fits a mid-size group that has outgrown a Sprinter but doesn't need a 25-seat build-out. It's a popular match for corporate happy-hour shuttles between the Osborn370 office towers and restaurant row on Selby Avenue, or a quinceañera group moving between a ceremony at Saint Paul Cathedral and a reception on the east side. Weekend hourly rates run $275–$400; per-day $2,100–$2,600.

Twenty seats cover the classic St. Paul scenario: a group too big for two Ubers and too spread out across Highland Park, Merriam Park, and Macalester-Groveland to coordinate pickups. A 20-passenger party bus does one efficient sweep — flat-panel TVs, Bluetooth sound, wraparound seating — and gets everyone to CHS Field or the Ordway without anyone getting left behind in traffic on I-94. Weekend hourly rates start at $275.

The 25-passenger party bus is one of the most-requested sizes in the Twin Cities for a reason: it covers the average office party, the medium-size wedding guest shuttle, and the fan group that wants to tailgate on wheels before a Wild game at Grand Casino Arena. Full-length bar setups, color-changing LEDs, and premium sound are standard on most builds at this size. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend hourly $275–$375.

A 28-passenger party bus is ideal when a 25-seat bus is one row short. Graduate school cohorts, large bridal parties coming in from Rochester or Duluth for a St. Paul weekend, and corporate team-building groups heading to Mall of America in Bloomington all hit this count more often than you'd think. Amenities mirror the larger party bus builds — bar, LED lighting, sound system.

Weekend hourly rates run $275–$375.

Thirty seats is where a group trip starts to feel like an event in its own right. A 30-passenger party bus handles the big prom send-off from the east side, the reunion group coming back to St. Paul for the Minnesota State Fair, or the fan convoy rolling up Snelling Avenue toward Allianz Field on a Saturday night. With onboard amenities doing the work, the ride is part of the experience.

Weekend hourly rates run $325–$425.

A 40-passenger party bus handles the large-group scenarios where splitting up isn't an option — stadium send-offs for 40-person office pools, church group outings to the RiverCentre, or multi-family reunions departing from St. Paul's East Side neighborhoods. At this size, the bus becomes the venue before the venue: full bar, wraparound seating, LED package. Weekend hourly rates run $325–$500; per-day up to $3,500.

The 50-passenger party bus is the largest party-format vehicle in the network — built for prom groups, large corporate send-offs, and stadium fan convoys where everyone absolutely has to be on the same bus. Fifty seats heading to Grand Casino Arena means one drop-off at the Kellogg Boulevard entrance and one pickup after the final buzzer, rather than a post-game rideshare scramble in the skywalk. Weekend hourly rates run $325–$500.

The 15-35 passenger minibus is the workhorse of St. Paul group transportation — narrower than a full charter bus, which matters on the tighter blocks around Lowertown and the Cathedral Hill neighborhood, and far more comfortable than a yellow school bus for a field trip to the Minnesota History Center. Reclining seats, overhead storage, and climate control cover the basics. Weekday hourly rates start at $200; per-day $1,100–$2,150.

When the headcount is large and the drive is long — a corporate retreat to Duluth, a school group heading to the Science Museum of Minnesota, or a fan charter following the Wild to an away game — a 40-56 passenger charter bus is the right fit. Undercarriage bays handle luggage and equipment, onboard restrooms cut rest stops on I-35, and reclining seats with overhead storage keep everyone comfortable for the long haul. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$350.
