Albuquerque Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals

Rent a Charter Bus for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

One of the images that comes to mind for most when they think of Albuquerque is hundreds of beautiful and colorful hot air balloons floating in the sky. The Albuquerque International Balloon Festival is a nine-day festival that begins in the first full week of October and features hot air balloons, food, entertainment, and culture. It began in 1972 with a modest 13 balloons, and today gathers more than 500 hot air balloons every year.

If you plan on attending the Balloon Festival, it’s good to book your hotel rooms months in advance if possible. Daily crowds of more than 60,000 people can arrive at the festival, making it a hugely popular event, so hotel rooms book fast. There’s parking available onsite at the 360-acre event, but given the large crowds, parking can be a hassle. A charter bus rental can help ensure you get to the festival on time and avoid the hassle of parking. The shuttle bus rentals we charter at National Charter Bus are modern, comfortable, and can accommodate groups of any size from 18 to 56 passengers at a time. The Albuquerque Balloon Festival is a great event for groups, and National Charter Bus wants to help you make sure you get the most out of it. 

Visit Albuquerque for the Best Food in New Mexico

New Mexico as a whole is known for its delicious food, and with Albuquerque as its center, you can expect delicious dishes with Native American and Spanish influences. In fact, the breakfast burrito is thought to have originated in Albuquerque at the Balloon Festival. The city's signature ingredients include red and green chiles, which add an earthy fruitiness and spiciness to its dishes. For some of the best food in Albuquerque, be sure to check out Padilla’s Mexican Kitchen. The humble eatery is known for its burritos and enchiladas. Locals also love the sopapilla, green chili, and the carne adovada.

If you are going to be in Albuquerque for a convention with a corporate group or for a wedding, consider making a few pit stops during downtime to enjoy some of New Mexico’s best food. A charter bus rental can help take you and your group to and from restaurants safely and reliably, especially if drinking is involved. And with some of the best margaritas in the country, you’re not going to want to skip those!
