A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Clearwater Marine Aquarium
For groups interested in marine life, conservation, and education, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a non-negotiable stop on your itinerary. Famous worldwide as the former home of Winter the Dolphin, the star of the Dolphin Tale movies, this facility is not your typical aquarium. It is a working marine animal hospital dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine life. Your group can witness sea turtles, otters, pelicans, and dolphins receiving world-class care.
Traveling here with a school group or a large family reunion? A charter bus rental is the most efficient way to arrive. The aquarium recently underwent significant expansion, and while parking is available, navigating a caravan of cars through the Island Estates neighborhood can be chaotic. With a private bus rental from Clearwater Charter Bus, your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance for immediate access to the exhibits. Students and chaperones can utilize the bus’s onboard PA system for headcounts and educational briefings before arrival, ensuring everyone is prepared for an inspiring day of marine education.

Pier 60 at Clearwater Beach
No trip to the Gulf Coast is complete without visiting the legendary Clearwater Beach, and the heart of the action is undoubtedly Pier 60. This 1,080-foot fishing pier and recreational park offers more than just stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico; it is the site of the nightly "Sunsets at Pier 60" festival. Every evening, starting two hours before sunset and continuing two hours after, the pier transforms into a bustling hub of artisans, crafters, street performers, and musicians.
However, anyone who has visited Clearwater Beach knows that parking is a premium commodity. Public lots fill up by mid-morning, and parking garages can be expensive and difficult to navigate with multiple vehicles. By booking a minibus or charter bus, you eliminate the parking nightmare entirely. Your driver can drop your group near the roundabout or a designated loading zone, allowing you to walk straight onto the soft sands. After a long day of sunbathing, swimming, and watching the sunset, there is nothing better than climbing into an air-conditioned bus with reclining seats, rather than fighting traffic to get off the beach.
Name: Pier 60 Park Address: 1 Causeway Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767
BayCare Ballpark (Phillies Spring Training)
If you are planning a trip in the spring, or if you are a baseball fan any time of year, BayCare Ballpark is a homerun destination. This beautiful stadium is the Spring Training home of the Philadelphia Phillies and the regular-season home of the Clearwater Threshers. Known for its fan-friendly atmosphere, the stadium features a 360-degree main concourse, group picnic areas, and a Tiki Bar in left field that is a favorite among visitors.
Sports teams, corporate groups, and fan clubs love using Clearwater Charter Bus for game day transportation. We offer spacious undercarriage storage for tailgating gear, coolers, and banners. Instead of splitting up your group and coordinating meet-up spots in the massive parking lots, your entire roster or fan club can travel together. You can even review game highlights or play hype videos on the bus’s flat-screen TVs on the way to the ballpark. Whether you are catching a Grapefruit League game or a minor league showdown, we ensure you get to the first pitch on time.
Name: BayCare Ballpark Address: 601 N Old Coachman Rd, Clearwater, FL 33765
Coachman Park and The Sound
Recently reimagined and renovated, Coachman Park is the crown jewel of downtown Clearwater. Anchoring this 19-acre waterfront park is "The Sound," a state-of-the-art boutique amphitheater that hosts major concerts and community events, including the famous Clearwater Jazz Holiday. The park also features a splash pad, walking trails, and sweeping views of the Intracoastal Waterway.
For large groups attending a concert or festival at The Sound, a charter bus is the ultimate VIP experience. Downtown traffic during events can be gridlocked, and parking is often blocked away from the venue. A private shuttle allows your group to be dropped off curbside, saving your energy for the show. If you are organizing a corporate outing or a community festival trip, our buses can be equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing attendees to share photos of the event in real-time without draining their batteries.
Name: Coachman Park Address: 301 Drew St, Clearwater, FL 33755
Ruth Eckerd Hall
For a dose of culture and the performing arts, Ruth Eckerd Hall is one of the premier venues in the Southeast. This 73,000-square-foot performing arts center is renowned for its near-perfect acoustics and hosts a wide variety of performances, including Broadway shows, classical music, pop concerts, and comedy acts. It is a sophisticated destination perfect for senior citizen groups, university arts departments, and corporate client entertainment.
Arriving at a theater production in a private charter bus adds a layer of elegance and convenience to the evening. There is no need for your guests to walk long distances in formal wear; we provide door-to-door service. For school bands or choirs performing at the venue or attending a masterclass, our full-size motorcoaches offer ample storage for musical instruments and uniforms, ensuring that equipment stays safe and secure during transit.

Moccasin Lake Nature Park
Escape the hustle and bustle of the beach and city center at Moccasin Lake Nature Park. This 51-acre nature preserve is a hidden gem in Clearwater, offering a tranquil experience with oak hammocks, creeks, and a 5-acre lake. It is an environmental education center featuring boardwalks, hiking trails, and live birds of prey exhibits. It is a fantastic alternative for groups who want to experience Florida’s natural beauty without the sand.
This is a top destination for educational field trips and scout troops. Our charter bus rentals provide a safe, climate-controlled environment for students to cool off after a hike. Teachers can utilize the onboard microphone to brief students on the local ecosystem and wildlife they are about to see. The park has specific areas for bus parking, making it an easy-in, easy-out destination for drivers.
Name: Moccasin Lake Nature Park Address: 2750 Park Trail Ln, Clearwater, FL 33759
Sand Key Park
If Clearwater Beach is too crowded for your group's taste, just south across the Clearwater Pass lies Sand Key Park. This park offers the best of both worlds: a pristine beach on the Gulf side and a park with picnic shelters, a dog park, and playground equipment on the other. It is generally quieter and offers more space for large groups to spread out for company picnics, family reunions, or church outings.
Sand Key Park is particularly bus-friendly compared to the main drag of Clearwater Beach. There are large parking lots that can accommodate motorcoaches (fees may apply), and the picnic pavilions are perfect for catering. Clearwater Charter Bus can shuttle your group from your hotel or meeting point directly to the pavilion, carrying all your coolers, games, and beach gear in the luggage bays so you don't have to carry them by hand.
Name: Sand Key Park Address: 1060 Gulf Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767
Celebration Station
For youth groups, sports teams celebrating a win, or birthday parties, Celebration Station is Clearwater’s hub for fun. The park features go-karts, bumper boats, mini-golf, batting cages, and a two-story arcade. It is an ideal spot for burning off energy and fostering team bonding in a casual, high-energy environment.
Transporting a large group of excited kids or teenagers can be a challenge for chaperones driving personal vehicles. Keeping the caravan together on US-19 can be stressful. With a charter bus rental, the entire group stays together in one vehicle, allowing chaperones to maintain supervision easily. Plus, after a few hours of running around the arcade and mini-golf course, the ride home is much quieter in comfortable, air-conditioned seats.
Name: Celebration Station Address: 24546 US Hwy 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33763

How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Clearwater?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. A trip during the peak spring break season may cost more than a trip in the fall. Generally, bus rentals are priced by the hour (with a minimum) for local trips or by the day/mile for long-distance travel. For the most accurate and transparent pricing, call our team at 407-593-6615 for a free, personalized quote tailored to your specific itinerary.
Where do charter buses park at Clearwater Beach?
Parking large motorcoaches at Clearwater Beach can be challenging due to high traffic and limited space. Most buses will drop passengers off at designated loading zones near Pier 60 or major hotels. After drop-off, the driver will typically park at a designated oversized vehicle lot off the main beach strip or return to the hotel/depot until the scheduled pickup time.
How far in advance should I book my bus rental?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. For travel to Clearwater, especially during peak seasons like Spring Break (March-April) or summer vacation, we suggest booking 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best rates. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don’t hesitate to call us regardless of your timeline.
What amenities are included on the bus?
Our fleet offers a variety of amenities designed for comfort and productivity. Most full-size charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, TV monitors with DVD players, and plenty of luggage storage. Modern amenities like WiFi and power outlets are available on many buses but should be requested at the time of booking to ensure your specific vehicle is equipped with them.
