The Easiest Way to Find and Book Minneapolis Concert Transportation
Every concert group is different, and the bus that works for a 12-person bachelorette party headed to First Avenue (701 N 1st Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403) is not the same bus that works for a 50-person fan group riding to Target Center (600 First Avenue North, Minneapolis, MN 55403) for a sold-out arena concert. First Avenue has no official parking lot, and nearby options include a surface lot and parking ramps. Target Center requires bus and motorcoach groups to reserve parking, which isn't included in your free price quote.
That's exactly why Busrentalminneapolis.com connects you with a large network of independent bus companies serving Minneapolis and the surrounding Twin Cities metro, instead of locking you into whatever one fleet happens to have open on your date. You get TONS of different bus types, TONS of different packages, and TONS of pricing options to fit YOUR group, YOUR headcount, and YOUR concert night, not the other way around. Fill out one quick form or call 612-587-1990 to get started!
More Buses, More Options for Your Concert Transportation
This city has no shortage of world-class concert venues, and no shortage of bus options to get your group there in style. Through Busrentalminneapolis.com, you can compare 15- to 35-passenger minibuses for smaller groups headed to downtown Minneapolis venues like First Avenue or the Fillmore Minneapolis (525 5th Street North, Minneapolis, MN 55401). The Fillmore has no parking lot, with metered street parking and ramps nearby, so a minibus keeps your group on one itinerary.
You can also compare full-size 56-passenger charter buses with reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms for large groups making the drive from the suburbs. Want something with a built-in bar and LED lighting for a true pregame experience? Minneapolis party buses are in the network too.

Getting to Target Center Has Never Been This Easy for Large Groups
Forget hunting for parking on 1st Avenue North on a sold-out show night at Target Center (600 First Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55403). Game-day and concert-night congestion around the arena is real, and nearby surface lots fill up fast. Target Center requires bus and motorcoach groups to reserve a parking spot through MPLS Parking or by phone, with bus parking listed at $30 and overnight bus parking at $40, which isn't included in your free price quote.
A Minneapolis concert bus rental keeps your group together for the trip to the arena, instead of splitting into rideshares or circling the block at midnight. Your group can focus on the pregame while the bus takes everyone to the show. That's a smarter way to do an arena concert, and Busrentalminneapolis.com makes finding that bus incredibly easy.
Busrentalminneapolis.com Lets You Ride Together to First Avenue and the Warehouse District Without the Parking Nightmare
Busrentalminneapolis.com lets you skip one of Minneapolis's most frustrating concert-night traditions: hunting for a walkable parking spot anywhere near First Avenue (701 First Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55403) or the cluster of clubs and venues packed into the Warehouse District. The blocks surrounding First Ave, the Entry, and the Fillmore Minneapolis at 525 North 5th Street are notoriously tight on weekends, and rideshare surge pricing after a sold-out show can catch groups off guard. A Minneapolis charter bus or party bus rental solves both problems at once: your group arrives together, and everyone can head back to the hotel or home without coordinating separate rideshares.

You'll Love Having a Private Bus for Outdoor Concert Season at Armory Minneapolis and Surly Brewing Festival Grounds
You'll find that Minneapolis's concert calendar runs hard from late spring through early fall, and venues like Armory Minneapolis (500 S 6th St, Minneapolis, MN 55415) and the outdoor festival grounds at Surly Brewing Company (520 Malcolm Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414) draw massive crowds that make street parking and rideshare logistics genuinely stressful. The Armory recommends drop-offs on Portland Avenue, giving your group a nearby spot to gather before the show. Surly's concert guidance places the venue a couple of blocks from Prospect Park Station on the Green Line and near the University of Minnesota Transitway, useful connections for groups combining a bus trip with transit.
Booking a private group event bus through Busrentalminneapolis.com keeps your group on one itinerary both ways, without coordinating separate rideshares or leaving anyone behind when the last set ends. Because Busrentalminneapolis.com connects you with a large network of independent bus companies, you're never limited to just one fleet, you compare options and pick the bus that fits YOUR group's size and budget.
Fill Out One Form to Book Group Transportation to Xcel Energy Center Shows from Minneapolis
Fill out one form and Busrentalminneapolis.com connects you with bus companies ready to shuttle your Minneapolis group across the river to Xcel Energy Center (199 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) for some of the biggest touring acts in the country. The Xcel hosts everything from arena rock and country stadium tours to NHL playoff nights, and cross-river traffic on the Lafayette Bridge and Wabasha Street Bridge can stack up badly on sold-out evenings. A charter bus from Minneapolis to St. Paul keeps your group together for the cross-river trip and drops you at the designated charter bus zone near Kellogg Boulevard.
Xcel's event bus parking map identifies event-bus parking in downtown Saint Paul, giving groups another piece of the arrival plan. A shared ride means no post-show scramble to coordinate separate cars. That's Busrentalminneapolis.com!
Planning a Group Night Out at Varsity Theater, Palace Theatre, or the Dakota Jazz Club? There's a Bus for That.
Planning a smaller group concert night across Minneapolis's incredible independent venue scene is exactly where a 15- to 35-passenger minibus earns its keep. Whether your group is headed to the Varsity Theater (1308 SE 4th St, Minneapolis, MN 55414) in Dinkytown, the Palace Theatre (17 W 7th Place, St. Paul, MN 55102), or a late-night jazz set at the Dakota Jazz Club (1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN 55403), your group can choose a Minneapolis minibus rental to travel together. The Varsity has nearby street parking, paid lots, and the 4th Street Ramp at 1625 4th Street SE.
