A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Dalí (Salvador Dalí Museum)
No trip to St. Petersburg is complete without visiting The Dalí, home to the largest collection of Salvador Dalí's work outside of Europe. Located on the stunning downtown waterfront at 1 Dalí Blvd, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, this architectural marvel is a must-see for art lovers and tourists alike. The building itself is a work of art, featuring a geodesic glass bubble known as "The Enigma," which offers spectacular views of the bay. Inside, your group can explore over 2,400 works by the surrealist master, including oil paintings, drawings, and sculptures.
Bringing a large group to The Dalí is significantly easier with a charter bus rental. The museum attracts thousands of visitors daily, and the parking lot can fill up quickly, especially on weekends or during special exhibits. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Rental Company St. Petersburg, your driver can drop your group off right at the designated group entrance, allowing you to bypass the long walk from overflow parking. After your tour, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to lunch on Beach Drive or your next destination. Whether you are organizing a school field trip to study surrealism or a corporate culture outing, our fleet of motorcoaches ensures everyone arrives together, cool, and ready to be inspired.
St. Pete Pier
The St. Pete Pier, located at 600 2nd Ave NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, is the crown jewel of the city's waterfront district. Spanning 26 acres, this sprawling entertainment hub extends into Tampa Bay and offers something for everyone in your group. From the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center for the science enthusiasts to the splash pad for the kids, and plenty of dining options like Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille or Teak for the foodies, you could easily spend an entire day here. It is also a fantastic spot for panoramic group photos with the city skyline in the background.
However, parking near the Pier is notoriously difficult and expensive, with metered street parking and garages often blocks away. By booking a private minibus or charter bus, you eliminate the headache of parking meters and walking long distances in the Florida heat. Your driver can drop your group off near the Pier entrance, where you can hop on the Pier Tram to explore the various districts. If you are planning a company picnic or a family reunion at the Pier, our buses have ample storage for coolers, sunscreen, and games. Let us handle the logistics of getting you to the waterfront so you can focus on enjoying the bay breeze and the vibrant atmosphere of St. Pete's newest landmark.
Tropicana Field
It’s time to play ball! Tropicana Field, located at 1 Tropicana Dr., St. Petersburg, FL 33705, is the home of the Tampa Bay Rays. Whether you are a die-hard baseball fan or just looking for a fun group outing, catching a game at "The Trop" is a quintessential St. Pete experience. The stadium is unique for its domed roof, which guarantees that your game won't be rained out—a major plus during Florida's summer storm season. Groups can enjoy the Rays Touch Tank, visit the Ted Williams Museum and Hitters Hall of Fame inside the stadium, or just grab a hot dog and cheer on the home team.
Traffic on I-275 leading to the stadium on game days can be gridlocked, and stadium parking fees can eat into your budget. Charter Bus Rental Company St. Petersburg offers the ultimate game day solution. We can provide a sporting event charter bus rental that allows your entire fan group to travel together. You can start the tailgate early on the bus with your own music and snacks, and your driver will drop you off within walking distance of the gates. We also specialize in transporting the teams themselves! If you are a Little League team or a collegiate squad traveling to St. Pete for a tournament, our full-size charter buses offer massive undercarriage storage for equipment bags, bats, and uniforms, ensuring your athletes ride in comfort.
Sunken Gardens
Step back in time and into a botanical paradise at Sunken Gardens, located at 1825 4th St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33704. As one of the oldest roadside attractions in the United States, this 4-acre historic garden is home to some of the oldest tropical plants in the region. Your group can wander through meandering paths surrounded by lush exotic plants, cascading waterfalls, and beautiful flamingos. It is a serene escape right in the middle of the bustling city and a perfect destination for garden clubs, senior tour groups, and photography enthusiasts.
Sunken Gardens is also a very popular wedding venue. If you are planning your special day here, consider booking a wedding shuttle service with Charter Bus Rental Company St. Petersburg. We can shuttle your guests from their hotels in downtown St. Pete or Clearwater Beach directly to the gardens for the ceremony and then to your reception venue. Weddings often involve guests who are unfamiliar with the area, and our shuttle service ensures no one gets lost or arrives late. With amenities like reclining seats and air conditioning, your guests will arrive refreshed and ready to celebrate, rather than sweaty and stressed from navigating 4th Street traffic.
Fort De Soto Park
For groups who want to experience the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast, Fort De Soto Park is unmatched. Located at 3500 Pinellas Bayway S, Tierra Verde, FL 33715, this park spans five interconnected islands and offers miles of white sandy beaches, nature trails, and a historic fort to explore. It is consistently ranked as one of the best beaches in the country. Groups can rent kayaks, visit the Quartermaster Museum, or simply relax by the water. It is a fantastic destination for church youth groups, summer camps, and corporate team-building retreats centered on outdoor activities.
Getting to Fort De Soto requires driving through several tolls and navigating the Pinellas Bayway, which can be confusing for drivers taking multiple cars. A charter bus rental simplifies the journey significantly. Our buses have plenty of storage space for beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and sports gear, so you don't have to cram everything into the trunk of a car. Plus, after a long day in the sun and surf, there is nothing better than climbing into a cool, air-conditioned bus for a relaxing ride back to the city. Let your professional driver handle the toll booths and the drive home while your group relaxes and shares photos of the day using our onboard WiFi.
The Museum of Fine Arts
Located in the heart of downtown at 255 Beach Dr NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) offers a comprehensive art experience spanning 5,000 years of human history. From antiquities to contemporary art and photography, the MFA’s collection is diverse and impressive. The museum is situated along the scenic waterfront, making it easy to combine a museum visit with a stroll through Straub Park or lunch at a nearby cafe. It is an ideal stop for educational field trips and cultural tour groups visiting from out of state.
Coordinate your visit with Charter Bus Rental Company St. Petersburg to make the logistics seamless. We are experts in school field trip transportation , offering a safer and more comfortable alternative to traditional yellow school buses. Our charter buses come equipped with TV monitors and DVD players, so you can play educational documentaries related to the exhibits on the way to the museum. Teachers and chaperones will appreciate the comfortable seating and the ability to keep the entire class together. We can arrange for a drop-off right at the Beach Drive entrance, making it safe and easy to unload students in this busy pedestrian area.
Central Avenue & The EDGE District
If your group is looking for nightlife, shopping, and local culture, Central Avenue is the place to be. Stretching from downtown to the coast, this corridor is packed with independent boutiques, vibrant murals, craft breweries, and eclectic restaurants. The EDGE District (Entertainment, Dining, Galleries, Etc.) is particularly popular for bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, and corporate happy hours. You can visit hotspots like Green Bench Brewing Company or the myriad of bars and eateries that line the street.
The challenge with Central Avenue is that it spans several miles, and parking is extremely limited. A private party bus rental acts as your group’s mobile headquarters and designated driver. You can plan a "pub crawl" or a "mural tour" where the bus drops you off at one end of the district and picks you up at the other. There is no need to split up into multiple rideshares or worry about surge pricing late at night. With Charter Bus Rental Company St. Petersburg, everyone stays together, stays safe, and enjoys the night to the fullest. Our party buses can even come equipped with LED lighting and premium sound systems to keep the energy high between stops.
Boyd Hill Nature Preserve
For a true immersion into Florida's ecosystem without leaving the city limits, take your group to Boyd Hill Nature Preserve at 1101 Country Club Way S, St. Petersburg, FL 33705. This 245-acre park features a variety of habitats, including hardwood hammocks, sand pine scrub, and willow marshes. It sits on the shores of Lake Maggiore and offers miles of boardwalks and trails. It’s a favorite for scout troops, biology classes, and bird-watching clubs.
When you rent a charter bus for a trip to Boyd Hill, you ensure that your group arrives ready to explore. The preserve offers guided tram tours, but having your own bus means you have a climate-controlled base of operations for lunch or a break from the humidity. We can store all your hiking gear, binoculars, and water bottles in the overhead bins or undercarriage storage. Charter Bus Rental Company St. Petersburg helps you connect with nature by handling the unnatural stress of traffic and navigation. We’ll get you to the trailhead on time so you don't miss a minute of wildlife spotting.
