A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Bonnet Springs Park
One of the newest and most exciting additions to the city, Bonnet Springs Park is a massive, 168-acre urban oasis that has quickly become a favorite for school field trips, family reunions, and corporate team-building days. This reclaimed railyard has been transformed into a stunning ecological jewel featuring botanical gardens, a canopy walk, a nature center, and the Florida Children’s Museum. For groups, the logistics of visiting such a large park can be daunting, but a charter bus rental makes it simple. We can drop your group off right at the Welcome Center, allowing immediate access to the sprawling lawns and amenities.
After a day of exploring the Crenshaw Canopy Walk or letting the kids run wild at the Harrell Family Botanical Gardens, your group will appreciate retreating to a cool, air-conditioned bus rather than hiking back to distant parking lots in the Florida heat. With plenty of undercarriage storage on our full-size motorcoaches, you can easily bring along coolers for a picnic at the Family Lawn or educational materials for a class trip. It is the perfect destination to reconnect with nature without leaving the city limits.
Address: 400 Bonnet Springs Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33815
Florida Southern College
Architecture buffs and history enthusiasts flock to Lakeland for one specific reason: Florida Southern College. The campus is home to the world’s largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. Voted the "Most Beautiful Campus in the Nation" by The Princeton Review, this site is a must-visit for architectural tours, university hopefuls, and art lovers. Navigating a college campus with a large group can be tricky, especially regarding parking. By booking a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Lakeland, your group can enjoy curbside drop-off near the Tourism and Education Center.
Your driver can handle the bus parking while your group takes a guided walking tour of the famous "Child of the Sun" structures, including the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel and the Water Dome. This destination is particularly popular for senior citizen tour groups and university architectural departments. Our buses come equipped with cushioned, reclining seats, perfect for resting after a long walking tour of the campus grounds.

Circle B Bar Reserve
For groups looking to experience the "real" Florida, Circle B Bar Reserve is the ultimate destination. Located on the northwest shore of Lake Hancock, this reserve is famous for its diverse wildlife, including massive alligators, bald eagles, and hundreds of bird species. It is a prime spot for photography clubs, scout troops, and environmental science classes. However, the reserve is located a bit off the beaten path from downtown Lakeland, making a charter bus the most efficient way to get everyone there safely.
The reserve’s rugged terrain and "Alligator Alley" trails offer an incredible adventure, but the Florida sun can be draining. Having a Charter Bus Rental Company Lakeland motorcoach waiting for you means you have a dedicated cooling station and a comfortable ride back to your hotel or dinner venue. We can transport your group directly to the Polk Nature Discovery Center within the reserve to kick off your educational journey. With onboard WiFi available upon request, your group can instantly upload their incredible wildlife photos to social media on the ride home.
Address: 4399 Winter Lake Rd, Lakeland, FL 33803
Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium
Spring in Lakeland means one thing: Baseball. As the spring training home of the Detroit Tigers and the regular-season home of the Lakeland Flying Tigers, Joker Marchant Stadium is a pilgrimage site for sports fans. Parking during spring training games can be chaotic, expensive, and involve long walks. A sports team charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lakeland transforms game day into a VIP experience. We can shuttle your fan club, corporate group, or little league team directly to the stadium entrance.
Our buses are perfect for tailgating groups as well. With ample storage space underneath the bus, you can easily pack grills, coolers, chairs, and tents. Once the game is over, there is no need to fight the traffic exiting the lot or wait for surge-priced rideshares. Your driver will be ready and waiting to take you to a post-game dinner at a local sports bar or back to your accommodations. It is the safest and most spirited way to enjoy America's pastime.
Address: 2301 Lakeland Hills Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33805
Polk Museum of Art
Affiliated with Florida Southern College and the Smithsonian Institution, the Polk Museum of Art offers a sophisticated cultural experience right in the heart of Lakeland. It features a diverse collection ranging from Pre-Columbian art to modern contemporary pieces. This is an ideal stop for school field trips, art appreciation societies, and private tour groups. Located near Lake Morton, the area is beautiful but parking for multiple cars can be limited.
When you rent a shuttle bus with us, we ensure your group arrives together for your scheduled docent-led tour. A private bus rental allows teachers or tour leaders to utilize the onboard PA system to give a briefing on the exhibits before arrival, maximizing the educational value of the trip. After soaking in the culture, your bus can easily transport you to nearby downtown Lakeland for lunch at a local cafe without the hassle of moving a dozen individual cars.
Address: 800 E Palmetto St, Lakeland, FL 33801
SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo
One of the largest aviation events in the world, the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo draws crowds from across the globe to Lakeland Linder International Airport every year. Traffic during this week-long event is notoriously heavy, and navigating the vast grounds can be confusing for first-time visitors. For large groups attending the expo—whether you are an aviation club, a school group, or industry professionals—a charter bus is practically a necessity.
Charter Bus Rental Company Lakeland has extensive experience navigating the logistics of major events like SUN 'n FUN. We can arrange drop-offs as close to the gates as permitted, saving your group from exhausting walks before the day even begins. Our comfortable buses provide a welcome respite at the end of a long day on the tarmac. If you are flying into Orlando (MCO) or Tampa (TPA) specifically for the expo, we also offer seamless airport transfer shuttles to bring your entire group directly to Lakeland.
Address: 4175 Medulla Rd, Lakeland, FL 33811
Hollis Garden & Lake Mirror
For those seeking beauty and tranquility, Hollis Garden is a botanical masterpiece set within a neo-classical architectural environment. Located right on the promenade of Lake Mirror, it features over 10,000 flowers, ornamental shrubs, and native trees. This location is incredibly popular for wedding parties and photography groups. However, keeping a wedding party organized and on schedule for photos can be like herding cats. A wedding shuttle bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lakeland ensures the bride, groom, and bridal party arrive at this scenic spot simultaneously.
The bus acts as a mobile dressing room, allowing the wedding party to stay cool in the A/C between photo sessions—a lifesaver in the humid Florida climate. After capturing stunning photos by the water, your driver will whisk the group away to the ceremony or reception venue. It’s a seamless way to incorporate Lakeland’s most beautiful backdrop into your special day without the logistical headaches.
Address: 702 E Orange St, Lakeland, FL 33801
RP Funding Center
The RP Funding Center is the hub of entertainment and business in Lakeland, hosting everything from Broadway shows and concerts to large-scale conventions and trade shows. If you are organizing a corporate trip to a conference or taking a large group to see a show, relying on individual transport can lead to late arrivals and fragmented groups. Parking fees at the center can also add up quickly for multiple vehicles.
Charter Bus Rental Company Lakeland provides efficient corporate event transportation to the RP Funding Center. We can set up a shuttle service from local hotels to the convention center, ensuring your team or attendees arrive punctual and professional. For entertainment outings, a minibus rental allows your group to enjoy a few drinks and dinner before the show without worrying about a designated driver. We handle the traffic on Lime Street so you can focus on the event.
Address: 701 W Lime St, Lakeland, FL 33815

Frequently Asked Questions About Lakeland Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Lakeland?
The cost of renting a charter bus depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. For example, a local day trip will be priced differently than a multi-day tour across Florida. At Charter Bus Rental Company Lakeland, we offer transparent, personalized pricing. Call us at 407-891-0011 with your itinerary details, and we will provide you with a free, no-obligation quote in minutes.
How far in advance should I book my bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as early as possible to ensure availability, especially during peak travel seasons like spring break, wedding season (spring/fall), and during major local events like the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo. Ideally, you should try to reserve your bus 3 to 6 months in advance. However, we understand that plans can come up suddenly, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute booking requests.
