Orlando is best known for its wide range of theme parks, which include thrills, gorgeous scenery, and show-stopping performances, all of which come together to create lasting memories; however, there’s still more to the city than what initially meets the eye. If you’re stopping in Orlando for a quick family gathering, a business convention, or for other personal matters, there are plenty of entertainment options to choose from, all of which are separate from the city’s iconic amusement parks.
Renting a Bus for Your Group
Bringing a group into Orlando? Book a private charter bus for personalized and comfortable accommodations through the city. With a private bus, you won’t need to worry about finding volunteers to drive, splitting up gas costs, or navigating unfamiliar roads during your stay.
Small groups can enjoy a minibus to take them through the city and shuttle everyone between stops; and large groups can book a spacious full-sized coach for comfortable long-distance travels and a convenient way to keep everyone together as you move from one stop to the next. Each bus rental comes with a professional driver who will ensure that your group travels safely and comfortably to every destination on your itinerary.
As for amenities, each bus comes with a selection of premium add-ons, many of which are available at no additional cost. Enjoy WiFi, plush seating, panoramic windows, air conditioning, televisions with DVD players, and more for a comfortable trip. If you have any concerns regarding amenities, talk to one of our reservation specialists-- we’re always prepared to accommodate your group based on your specific needs.
