Bismarck Coach Bus & Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group for exclusive use across Bismarck and North Dakota. Unlike public transit, school buses, or scheduled intercity lines like Jefferson Lines, charter buses run on your itinerary—whether that’s shuttling UND fans to the Alerus Center, hauling oilfield crews to Williston, or taking wedding guests from downtown hotels to Apple Creek country venues. The group organizer sets all pickup points, departure times, and trip pacing. Riders stay together, store luggage onboard, and enjoy direct service without transfers. It’s point-to-point, closed-door transport tailored to your schedule, not a fixed route or timetable.

We provide one of the largest and newest fleets in Bismarck with Grech, Tiffany, Battisti, Midwest, MCI, Van Hool, Prevost, Krystal, Executive Coach Builders, and LGE minibuses, party buses, sprinter vans and more. Charter buses seat 40–56 with restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and luggage bays—ideal for UND sports shuttles or corporate retreats. Minibuses carry 15–35 for smaller church groups, field trips, or airport runs. Party buses (10–50 passengers) have perimeter seating, lights, and A/V for bachelor/bachelorette nights or concert crawls. Sprinter vans (10–15 seats) handle quick hotel transfers, wedding bridal parties, or VIP moves. School buses (up to 47 adults/72 kids) are available for budget moves within city limits, summer camps, or youth programs.

Bus rental prices in Bismarck typically range from $145–$550+ per hour or $1,520–$5,000+ per day for a full-size charter bus, depending on the time of year, vehicle size, and trip details. We also offer minibus rentals starting at $150–$450+ per hour ($1,520–$3,465+ per day), party buses from $180–$520+ per hour ($1,000–$3,900+ per day), and sprinter vans at $160–$450+ per hour ($1,000–$3,900+ per day). Rates are higher during peak spring/summer months, especially around UND graduation, major concerts, or oilfield crew moves, and lower in winter. Weekend events and overnight charters may cost more than weekday local shuttles. Use our online quote tool or call us with your headcount, itinerary, and amenity needs for an exact price in under a minute.

Final costs depend on your travel dates (spring/summer is busiest), total mileage (roundtrip to Fargo or Grand Forks vs. local Bismarck loop), number of days/hours needed, and bus size/features. Larger coaches with restrooms and WiFi cost more than basic minibuses. Single-day rentals staying inside Burleigh/Morton County are less than multi-day builds going to Medora, Devils Lake, or Twin Cities. Peak demand during UND home games, state tournaments, or Bakken job surges can raise rates. Optional add-ons like extra luggage trailers, premium seat upgrades, or custom wraps are available for additional fees.

Booking a bus is simple: gather your trip details (date, pickup/drop-off addresses, group size, and any must-have amenities), then call our 24/7 reservations team at 701-975-9160 or fill out the online form. We’ll send you an instant quote with pictures and specs of available vehicles. Compare options, choose what fits your budget, and we’ll lock it in. You’ll get a contract to sign electronically. Once confirmed, your bus is reserved—no further action needed. If your headcount or itinerary changes before departure, contact us ASAP to adjust. Last-minute bookings are possible, but for best choice and price, reserve 1–3 months ahead for weddings, school trips, or major events.

All buses come with cushioned seats, climate control, and overhead lighting. Most charter buses include free WiFi, USB/power outlets at every row, TV monitors with DVD/Blu-ray, PA system, and underfloor luggage bays. Restrooms are standard on 40–56 passenger coaches. Minibuses have soft bench or high-back seats, modest carry-on storage, and optional screen at front. Party buses feature perimeter lounge seating, LED strip lights, Bluetooth soundbar, dance pole (removable), and small cooler area. Sprinter vans offer reclining captain’s chairs, quiet ride, and easy side-door entry. If you need ADA accessibility (wheelchair lift, tie-downs, wider aisle), request it when booking—we can provide compliant vehicles at no extra charge.

We handle transportation for every kind of group across Bismarck and North Dakota: K–12 school field trips to the Heritage Center, UND student organization outings, corporate commuter shuttles from Mandan park-and-rides, wedding guest moves between hotels and rural barns, church retreats at Cross Ranch State Park, youth sports teams traveling to tournaments, oil/gas worker transfers to rig sites, and casino runs to Spirit Lake or Prairie Knights. During summer, we support large festivals, parades, and fairground logistics. Small businesses book minibuses for client dinners; families use sprinters for reunion picnics. Whatever your purpose—if it involves moving people on time—we’ve done it.

We serve all of Bismarck, Mandan, and surrounding Burleigh/Morton County neighborhoods including Downtown, Cathedral District, Highland Acres, Hay Creek, Lincoln, University of Mary campus, and Capitol Complex. Regular destinations include Fargo-Moorhead, Grand Forks (UND), Minot, Dickinson, Williston, Jamestown, Devils Lake, Valley City, Wahpeton, and Twin Cities/Minneapolis-St. Paul. We cross state lines for chartered trips to South Dakota (Sioux Falls, Rapid City), Montana (Billings, Glendive), and western Minnesota lakes country. Airport transfers to/from BIS (Bismarck Municipal) are available 24/7. Rural pickups in small towns or reservations can be arranged with advance notice. One-way, roundtrip, and continuous loop shuttles all supported.
