Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Duluth

Duluth Coach Bus Service has one of the largest fleets in Duluth, so we can help you find any type of bus you need! Our lineup includes 15- to 35-passenger minibuses from Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for shuttling wedding guests between Canal Park hotels or taking a small group to Gooseberry Falls. We also have 40- to 56-passenger coach buses from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Setra, which are ideal for moving large groups of students, corporate teams, or sports fans across Minnesota. If you’re looking for something fun, we offer party buses that hold anywhere from 10 to 50 people, built by Krystal, Grech Motors, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks, and Executive Coach Builders. And for smaller outings, our 10- to 15-passenger sprinter vans are great for airport transfers or nights out in Downtown Duluth.

Bus rental prices in Duluth depend on several factors, but you can expect to pay between $145 and $550 per hour for a charter bus, $150 to $450 per hour for a minibus, $180 to $520 per hour for a party bus, and $160 to $450 per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ for a charter bus, $1,520 to $3,465+ for a minibus, and $1,000 to $3,900+ for a party bus or sprinter van. We also offer mileage-based pricing at $6.00 to $9.95 per mile for charter buses and $4.00 to $9.95 per mile for minibuses. To get an exact quote, call our team at 218-524-4440 with your trip details.

The biggest factors that affect the price of your bus rental are the size and type of vehicle, the length of your trip, the time of year, and how far you’re traveling. Larger buses like 56-passenger coaches cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans, and longer trips—like a weekend in the Twin Cities or a weeklong tour of the North Shore—will be more expensive than a simple round-trip to the DECC. Peak season in Duluth runs from May through October, so expect higher rates during summer festivals, wedding season, and UMD graduation. Finally, any extra amenities or special requests can impact your final quote.

Charter buses can pick up and drop off passengers almost anywhere in Duluth, including hotels, schools, churches, office buildings, and popular attractions like Canal Park, the DECC, and Enger Tower. If you’re departing from Duluth International Airport (DLH), we can meet your group at the designated ground transportation area outside baggage claim. For events at Bayfront Festival Park or Wade Stadium, we recommend coordinating with venue staff to arrange a dedicated loading zone. Downtown streets can be narrow and congested, so it’s best to choose a location with enough space for a large vehicle to pull over safely.

Your quote covers the cost of the bus, standard amenities like WiFi and power outlets, and unlimited mileage within your itinerary. Tolls, parking fees, and hotel accommodations for multi-day trips are not included and should be arranged separately.
