A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
One of the premier attractions in Northeast Florida, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is a must-visit for school groups, family reunions, and private tours. Located on the banks of the Trout River, this expansive park features the award-winning Range of the Jaguar exhibit and the beautiful Land of the Tiger, where big cats roam through an innovative trail system right over your head. It is an immersive experience that engages visitors of all ages. However, because the zoo is located off Heckscher Drive on the Northside, it can be quite a trek from downtown hotels or the beaches. Parking on busy weekends or during special events like "Spooktacular" or the "Colors of the Wild" light festival can be chaotic for multiple vehicles.
When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville, your group enjoys a seamless drop-off right at the main entrance at 370 Zoo Parkway, Jacksonville, FL 32218. No wandering the parking lot in the humid Florida heat looking for your party! Your driver will handle the parking logistics while you head straight for the ticket counters. After a long day of walking the African Boardwalk or feeding the giraffes, there is nothing better than stepping onto a climate-controlled bus, reclining in a plush seat, and resting your feet while we handle the drive back to your accommodation.
EverBank Stadium
If you are in Jacksonville, you are in football country. Home to the Jacksonville Jaguars, EverBank Stadium (often still affectionately called "The Bank" by locals) is the heartbeat of the city's sports culture. Whether you are rallying a massive group of fans for a Jaguars home game, heading to the annual Florida-Georgia college football rivalry game, or attending a massive concert, the energy here is electric. But anyone who has driven downtown on game day knows the struggle: gridlock traffic on the Hart Bridge, expensive parking passes, and the nightmare of trying to coordinate a meetup spot with twenty different friends.
Make your game day experience a touchdown by booking a private sporting event charter bus. Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville offers the ultimate tailgating solution. Your bus has ample undercarriage storage for coolers, tents, folding chairs, and grills, keeping the aisleways clear for your passengers. We can drop you off near the action at 1 Everbank Stadium Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32202, and be there to pick you up once the final whistle blows. Plus, with a driver acting as your designated driver, your entire group can enjoy the festivities responsibly without worrying about the ride home.
The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens
For a touch of sophistication and culture, The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in the historic Riverside neighborhood is unmatched. It boasts one of the finest art collections in the Southeast, with pieces spanning from 2100 B.C. through the 21st century. But the real draw for many groups is the historic gardens. Situated right on the St. Johns River, these landscaped masterpieces offer breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere, making it a popular spot for wedding parties, corporate galas, and senior tour groups. The museum is located in a dense, historic residential area where street parking is scarce and often restricted.
Avoid the stress of parallel parking or finding a garage blocks away. Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville will transport your group directly to the museum entrance at 829 Riverside Ave, Jacksonville, FL 32204. If you are planning a wedding or a corporate event here, our sleek, modern minibuses and motorcoaches provide a polished aesthetic that matches the elegance of the venue. Your guests can enjoy the onboard WiFi to share photos of the river views instantly, while relaxing in air-conditioned comfort before and after the event.
Little Talbot Island State Park
Jacksonville isn't just urban sprawl; it is home to some of the most beautiful, untouched barrier islands in Florida. Little Talbot Island State Park offers five miles of pristine white sandy beaches, maritime forests, and driftwood-covered shorelines that are perfect for photography enthusiasts, nature lovers, and scout troops. It is a fantastic destination for a day trip away from the city noise. However, Little Talbot is located on A1A North, quite a distance from the city center, and cell service can sometimes be spotty, making coordination between multiple cars difficult.
A charter bus rental is the safest and most efficient way to get your group to this remote paradise. We can load up all your beach gear, picnic supplies, and hiking equipment into the bus's spacious luggage bays. The journey to 12157 Heckscher Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32226 is scenic, passing through the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. With panoramic windows, everyone on the bus can enjoy the views of the marshes and waterways together. Once you arrive, you won't have to worry about the limited parking capacity at the beach access points; your driver will ensure you get as close as possible.
Museum of Science & History (MOSH)
Located on the Southbank Riverwalk, the Museum of Science & History, known locally as MOSH, is a cornerstone of education in Jacksonville. With interactive exhibits like the Bryan-Gooding Planetarium and the Florida Naturalist's Center, it is a prime destination for school field trips and summer camp outings. Navigating downtown traffic, particularly around the Main Street Bridge and the San Marco area, can be stressful for teachers and chaperones responsible for a convoy of cars or vans.
Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville takes the stress out of educational travel. Our charter buses are designed for safety and comfort, offering a significant upgrade over the traditional yellow school bus. Students can watch educational DVDs on the onboard monitors during the ride to 1025 Museum Cir, Jacksonville, FL 32207, keeping them entertained and contained. Teachers love the peace of mind that comes with a driver navigating the busy downtown intersections. We ensure your group arrives together, on time for your scheduled planetarium show or guided tour.
St. Johns Town Center
For groups that love to shop, the St. Johns Town Center is the ultimate destination. This open-air lifestyle center is located at the intersection of J. Turner Butler Boulevard and I-295, making it the retail heart of the city. With over 175 stores ranging from luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. to favorites like Target and Apple, plus dozens of dining options, it’s a massive complex. Because it is so popular, the Town Center is notorious for heavy traffic and difficult parking situations, especially during the holidays or weekends.
Don’t let parking rage ruin your shopping spree. Rent a minibus or charter bus for your shopping tour group. We can drop you off at a central location or coordinate specific pickup points near major anchors like Dillard's or Maggiano’s Little Italy at 4663 River City Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32246. The ample storage space on our buses means you don't have to worry about carrying heavy bags all day. Shoppers can drop their purchases off with the driver and head back out for round two! It is the most convenient way to experience Jacksonville's premier shopping district.
Jacksonville Beach
You cannot visit the First Coast without hitting the beach! Jacksonville Beach offers wide, sandy shores, a famous fishing pier, and the vibrant Seawalk Pavilion which hosts festivals and concerts throughout the year. It’s a hub for nightlife, dining, and surfing. However, parking at Jacksonville Beach—especially near the Pier or during events like the Sea and Sky Air Show—is notoriously competitive. Public lots fill up by mid-morning, and street parking is strictly enforced.
Keep your beach day breezy with Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville. We can transport your corporate team, wedding party, or family reunion directly to the oceanfront. Drop-off near the Jacksonville Beach Pier at 503 1st St N, Jacksonville, FL 32250 puts you right in the middle of the action. Your group can enjoy the sun and surf without the looming anxiety of feeding a parking meter or finding a spot blocks away. Plus, after a long day in the sun, the ride back to the hotel in a cool, air-conditioned bus is a luxury everyone will appreciate.
Kingsley Plantation
For history buffs, a visit to the Kingsley Plantation offers a poignant look into Florida's past. Located on Fort George Island, this site includes the oldest standing plantation house in Florida and the remains of 25 tabby slave cabins. It is part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve and offers a deep dive into the complex history of the region. The roads leading to the plantation are winding and scenic, surrounded by dense maritime forest, which can be confusing for drivers unfamiliar with the area.
Let Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville handle the navigation to 11676 Palmetto Ave, Jacksonville, FL 32226. A charter bus rental is perfect for historical societies, university classes, or tour groups looking to explore this remote landmark. The drivers know how to navigate the unique geography of the Sea Islands. On the way there, tour guides can use the onboard PA system to brief the group on the history of Zephaniah Kingsley and the enslaved people who lived there, turning the travel time into a valuable part of the educational experience.

How much does a charter bus rental cost in Jacksonville?
