Tampa Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals

• Group Transportation for Corporate Travel 

  Tampa serves as the headquarters for several major companies like Raymond James Financial, Bloomin’ Brands (the parent company of Outback Steakhouse and other restaurant chains), Primo Water, and more. Its growing business scene has made way for modern office buildings and shared coworking spaces like WeWork and SOAR. Tampa is also home to the Tampa Convention Center, a waterfront space that hosts an average of 300 events per year.

  With the evolving business scene in Tampa, many companies find a need for corporate charter bus rentals. A charter bus rental tailored to your group’s size and specific needs can be beneficial to shuttle your employees and/or clients to and from meeting spaces, or even to shuttle your employees to and from work. 

  The shared transportation is a great opportunity to foster closer relationships between your staff and ensure your employees arrive on time and in good spirits. Plus, you can opt for onboard WiFi in your charter bus rental to ensure employees can still check emails, go over notes, and prepare for their day if they choose.

• Rent a Charter Bus for Sporting Events in Tampa

  If there’s one reason to go to Tampa, it’s for the sports. Tampa’s many sports teams and stadiums can eek enthusiasm out of even the most reluctant sports watcher. Tampa is home to Amalie Arena, the home stadium of the Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey Team; Raymond James Stadium, home to the NFL team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, often referred to as “The Bucs;” and the University of South Florida Bulls. And baseball fans will be happy to see the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. 

  When it’s time for game day, a charter bus rental with National Charter Bus can help your experience be a home run. If you are a sports team looking for a team charter bus rental, we’ve got your ride covered. Enjoy riding to your next tournament, practice, or after-game celebration in a cool, comfortable charter bus. We can hook you up with an 18-25 passenger minibus for smaller teams, or 56-passenger charter buses for larger groups. 

  If you aren’t a team, and are just attending a sports game in Tampa as a private group, we are happy to accommodate you, as well! Just give us a call at (813) 328-8085 to hear all your options.

• Book a Shuttle Bus Rental for Tampa Weddings

  Planning to celebrate your big day in Tampa? Tampa has plenty of beautiful wedding venues, such as The Vault, Davis Islands Garden Club, or The Tampa Club. As an added bonus, Tampa has a vibrant nightlife scene for bachelor and bachelorette parties, including clubs, late-night restaurants, bars, and live music venues. 

  A Tampa wedding charter bus rental can be beneficial to you and your guests for every step of the wedding planning process. When you are ready to have a pre-wedding party with your groomsmen or bridesmaids, consider renting an 18 to 25-passenger minibus designed for smaller groups. With a charter bus rental or shuttle bus rental, you will have an automatic designated driver and can enjoy the local bars safely. Plus, you won’t have to worry about coordinating rideshares and finding parking in the hectic downtown area late at night. And when the big day comes around, a 56-passenger charter bus rental can safely transport your guests to and from the hotel to the wedding venue. 

  Enjoy your big day with less stress, and let National Charter Bus handle the logistics. 

• Shuttle Bus Rentals for Tampa Student and Youth Groups

  The award-winning University of Tampa attracts thousands of potential students every year for tours.

Take in the University and its surrounding restaurants and attractions in a comfortable charter bus for a memorable college tour. 

  Tampa also has several great locations to take students on field trips. The Florida Aquarium and ZooTampa at Lowry Park are very group-friendly, and are both ranked on several lists of the best aquariums and zoos in the country. With a charter bus rental for your student group, students can enjoy reading up about the different animals they are going to see with complimentary WiFi on their phones, and stay relaxed in reclining seats with extra legroom. Depending on your class size, you can choose from an 18-passenger minibus or one (or several) of the 56-passenger charter buses.

Frequently Asked Questions about Orlando Charter Bus Travel

1. What are the largest annual events in Tampa?

One of the largest annual events in Tampa is the Gasparilla Pirate Festival, a series of parades and events that the entire city plays a part in. The festival draws in around 300,000 people a year to its main parade, which is the third largest in the country, and around 1,000,000 attend at least one Gasparilla event a year. You can also attend Busch Gardens for the Food & Wine Festival every weekend beginning in the middle of March. Avoid the crowds and hassle of finding parking for these huge events by renting a charter bus to pick your group up and drop you all off.

2. What’s the weather like in Tampa?

Like the rest of Florida, the summers in Tampa are long, hot, and wet, often cloudy and full of sporadic rain and thunderstorms. The winter months are short, cool, windy, and partly cloudy. Tampa’s warmest month is August, with average temperatures around 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and its coolest month is January, where the average daytime temperature is 71 degrees Fahrenheit and dips to about 53 degrees Fahrenheit at night. The buses we charter at National Charter Bus are climate controlled with A/C, which can help you and your group beat the Tampa heat.

3. What are the largest convention centers and meeting venues in Tampa?

The Tampa Convention Center has a ballroom capable of hosting over 2,000 guests, plus 36 meeting rooms that can be adjusted to accommodate various smaller groups. The beautiful Saddlebrook Resort Conference Center, which is right outside of Tampa in Wesley Chapel, has 24 private meeting rooms, 15 outdoor venues with capacities ranging from 10 to more than 2,000 guests, and a ballroom that can seat 1,400 people. A company called Industrious also hosts smaller meeting spaces in modern settings at four different locations in Tampa. 

4. What is the traffic like in Tampa?

A traffic measuring tool called TomTom compares and ranks traffic in major cities across the world. Cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco rank higher on the list, at 59 and 102 in World Rank. Tampa is ranked 201 on the list, making it a moderately congested city. The worst time to travel, when Tampa is most congested, is on Fridays from 4 to 5 PM. But while rush hour can be frustrating, it’s a lot easier to handle when someone else is doing the driving! Let your charter bus driver handle the traffic while you relax and recline in your charter bus rental. 

5. What are the public transportation options in Tampa?

The Tampa Downtown Partnership has made efforts to provide more public transportation options in Tampa. HART (Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority) provides express bus service, bus rapid transit (MetroRapid), and manages the TECO Line Streetcar system. Depending on the bus you are taking, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1 to $3 for a one-way ride. 

These buses go most places in Tampa, but it’s best to check their map before committing to public transit as your main mode of transportation for your trip. Remember, if you rent a charter bus, you can map out your itinerary yourself and make sure your bus goes everywhere you need it to. You also have access to amenities you may not have had otherwise, depending on which charter bus you choose, such as DVD players, reclining seats, outlets for charging your phones, or even an on-board restroom.
