We help you compare and book the ultimate prom and homecoming bus rentals in Maplewood so students celebrate safely and parents enjoy total peace of mind! Instead of splitting into a caravan of teen drivers or dealing with expensive post-dance rideshare surges, your group can rent a 15- to 50-passenger party bus or sprinter limo loaded with color-changing LED lighting, wraparound leather seating, and a Bluetooth sound system. Start the evening with pre-dance group photos at Keller Regional Park along Highway 61 or the Como Park Marjorie McNeely Conservatory, then get dropped off right at the front doors of the Myth Live event center or a banquet hall in downtown St. Paul! Your driver serves as the built-in designated driver for the entire night, following your exact hourly itinerary from dinner reservations to the final drop-off back home.

Direct Maplewood Airport Shuttles for Visiting Teams & Study Abroad Groups

maplewood direct maplewood airport shuttles for visiting teams and study abroad groups

When your school choir, athletic roster, or study abroad group is flying in or out of the Twin Cities, booking a private Maplewood airport shuttle takes the stress out of terminals! At Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), charter buses load and unload at the dedicated Charter Bus staging zones—located at the Ground Transport Center on the Blue Ramp level at Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) and outside the Ground Transport atrium at Terminal 2 (Humphrey). Rather than cramming suitcases and instrument cases onto the Metro Light Rail or splitting students across multiple Ubers, your entire group boards one climate-controlled bus with plenty of under-bus storage for a direct 20-minute ride up I-494 to Maplewood. Even if a flight is delayed or you need a same-day bus rental for a last-minute tournament bracket, our statewide network has the capacity to cover your group!
