No, all Evanston Minibus Company rentals include a driver who will operate the bus for the duration of your reservation.

Yes, we provide both short-term and long-term shuttle contracts for businesses, schools, and organizations throughout Evanston and the North Shore! Whether you need daily employee shuttles from Metra stations, campus circulators for Northwestern University, or regular routes between multiple office locations, we can set up a custom plan that runs as long as you need. Long-term contracts often come with discounted rates and dedicated vehicles.

Service animals are always welcome on any of our buses. For non-service pets, policies vary depending on the specific vehicle and operator. In general, small pets in carriers may be permitted if arranged in advance. Please let us know if you plan to bring a pet so we can confirm the rules for your particular rental.

If your event runs late, your driver will stay with you until everyone is safely returned to their drop-off point. Overtime charges may apply if you exceed the original contract hours, but we understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. It’s a good idea to keep us updated during the day so we can adjust plans as needed.

Yes, you can make changes to your reservation even after booking! If you need to update pickup times, add extra stops, or request different amenities, just contact our team as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to accommodate any modifications, though major changes (like switching to a larger bus) may affect pricing or availability.
