15 Passenger Minibus

Charter Bus Company Moorhead offers 15-passenger minibuses in a variety of exterior colors to match the style and formality of any event. Standard color options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. For clients seeking something unique, we also provide custom wrap solutions that can feature company branding, school logos, wedding themes, or any graphic design you choose. Whether you need a classic white shuttle for a wedding, a corporate black bus for executive transport, or a fully wrapped vehicle for a promotional tour, we have an option that will fit your vision. Interior finishes are typically neutral to complement any exterior choice. If you have specific color requirements, let us know—we’ll do our best to accommodate special requests and ensure your minibus matches the tone of your event.

Our 15-passenger minibuses come standard with a full suite of amenities designed for comfort and convenience on short to mid-range trips. Seating features plush, reclining seats with armrests and headrests, finished in durable cloth or vinyl upholstery. Each row has access to USB charging ports and 110V outlets for keeping devices powered. Overhead storage racks run the length of the cabin for bags and personal items, while additional storage space is available at the rear of the bus for larger luggage.

Entertainment options include a PA system with Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming and announcements. Climate control is handled by a powerful HVAC system with adjustable vents throughout the cabin. LED lighting provides bright, energy-efficient illumination, and tinted windows offer privacy and UV protection. The wide entry door and low step height make boarding easy for all passengers. These amenities ensure a comfortable, connected, and enjoyable ride for every passenger.

The cost to rent a 15-passenger minibus in Moorhead typically ranges from $150 to $430+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,255 per day, or $4.00 to $7.95 per mile. Your exact price will depend on several factors including the length of your trip, the time of year, the specific route, and how many days you’ll need the vehicle. Weekend events, especially during peak seasons like spring wedding months or fall college sports, may run at the higher end of the range. Multi-day rentals or trips that require the bus to stay overnight will also increase the total cost.

Each quote includes gratuity for the driver but does not cover additional expenses such as parking passes at venues, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—these will be billed separately if applicable. Because pricing can vary significantly based on availability and exact location details, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to call our team with your full itinerary.

The 15-passenger minibus is the smallest and most agile vehicle in our fleet, making it ideal for short trips, tight schedules, and destinations with limited parking—such as downtown hotel shuttles or wedding party transfers between venues. Compared to larger minibuses (20– 35 passengers) and full-size charter buses (47– 56 passengers), the 15-passenger model offers less seating and luggage capacity but excels in maneuverability and ease of use. It can navigate narrow streets, sharp turns, and confined loading zones that bigger buses cannot access.

While it lacks some of the premium amenities found on larger coaches—such as full entertainment systems or restrooms—the 15-passenger minibus still provides comfortable seating, climate control, and basic entertainment options. It is significantly more cost-effective for small groups who would otherwise be paying for unused seats on a larger bus. If you need to move a small team, youth group, or wedding party efficiently and affordably, this is the best choice. For larger groups or those requiring extensive luggage space and additional features, stepping up to a bigger minibus or full-size coach would be more appropriate. The 15-passenger minibus fills the gap between multiple vans and a single large bus, offering just the right amount of space and comfort for midsize outings.

We recommend booking your 15-passenger minibus rental in Moorhead at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major local events. Spring and summer dates tend to fill up quickly due to wedding schedules, graduation ceremonies at Minnesota State University Moorhead and Concordia College, and peak travel for corporate events or festivals like the Downtown Moorhead Farmers Market and Greater Fargo-Moorhead Pride. Fall weekends can also be competitive because of college football games, homecoming events, and early holiday bookings. If you’re planning an out-of-town trip that overlaps with regional happenings—such as concerts at Bluestem Amphitheater or sporting events in Fargo—it’s best to secure your vehicle as soon as your itinerary is set. Last-minute reservations are possible if a bus is available, but booking early gives you the best selection of vehicles and locking in current rates before they increase with demand. For large events requiring multiple vehicles, starting the process six months out will ensure we can accommodate your entire group without compromise.

The luggage capacity of a 15-passenger minibus is limited compared to larger coaches, but it is sufficient for short trips or groups traveling light. Most 15-passenger minibuses have either a rear storage area or overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. You can expect to fit approximately 8–12 standard carry-on bags (22” size) in the rear compartment, with additional space for small backpacks and personal items above the seats. If all passengers are bringing full-size suitcases, not all bags will fit in the luggage area—some may need to be stowed in the aisle or between seats, which can reduce comfort and accessibility.

For best results, we recommend that each passenger bring one carry-on and one personal item. Larger items such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or display materials will need to be measured to ensure they fit. If your group has significant luggage—such as airport transfers with checked bags—you may want to upgrade to a larger minibus with a dedicated luggage bay, or request a trailer attachment if available. Our team can advise on the best configuration based on your exact luggage requirements.
