A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch
If your group loves nature, birdwatching, or just enjoying the great outdoors without leaving the city limits, the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch is a must-visit destination. This 110-acre park was created to reuse recycled water for the town, but it has inadvertently become one of the premier bird-watching habitats in the Southwest. With over 4.5 miles of trails, it is an excellent spot for school field trips, scout troops, and photography clubs. The preserve is also home to the Gilbert Rotary Centennial Observatory, making it a fantastic destination for evening educational tours to gaze at the stars.
Why rent a bus here? Parking at the Riparian Preserve can be limited, especially on weekends or during peak migration seasons when birders flock to the area. By booking a charter bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert, your group can be dropped off right at the main entrance near the library. Your driver can handle the parking logistics while your group explores the trails, ensuring that everyone stays together and no one gets lost finding a spot. For school groups, our buses offer a safe, climate-controlled environment to recount the day's sightings on the ride back to campus.

Gilbert Heritage District
The beating heart of the city is undoubtedly the Gilbert Heritage District. Once a simple strip of historic buildings, this downtown area has exploded into a culinary and entertainment mecca. It is packed with some of the best restaurants in Arizona, including local favorites like Joe’s Real BBQ, Liberty Market, and Postino East. The district is anchored by the iconic Water Tower Plaza, a perfect gathering spot for photos. Whether you are planning a corporate dinner, a bachelorette party bar crawl, or a family reunion meal, the Heritage District has something for every palate.
Why rent a bus here? The secret is out about Downtown Gilbert, which means traffic can be heavy and parking garages fill up fast on Friday and Saturday nights. Instead of circling for 20 minutes looking for a spot or splitting your group into five different Ubers, a party bus or sprinter van rental allows you to arrive in style. Your driver can drop you off right on Gilbert Road, allowing you immediate access to the fun. Plus, if your group plans on enjoying the nightlife at spots like Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row or The White Rabbit speakeasy, having a designated driver ensures everyone gets home comfortably.
Address: 30 E Vaughn Ave, Gilbert, AZ 85234 (Water Tower Plaza)
Hale Centre Theatre Arizona
For a touch of culture and high-quality entertainment, the Hale Centre Theatre is the jewel of Gilbert’s performing arts scene. Located right in the Heritage District, this theater offers a unique "theater-in-the-round" experience, meaning the stage is in the center with the audience surrounding it. They put on Broadway-caliber musicals, comedies, and dramas year-round. It is a favorite destination for senior communities, church groups, and school drama clubs looking to experience professional theater close to home.
Why rent a bus here? Coordinating arrival times for a show is crucial; you do not want latecomers missing the opening act because they were stuck in traffic. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert, you can ensure your entire group arrives with plenty of time to find their seats. For senior groups, a charter bus offers accessible travel with plenty of storage for walkers or assistance devices, and curbside drop-off minimizes the walking distance to the theater entrance.

Agritopia
Agritopia is more than just a neighborhood; it’s an experience. This planned community focuses on urban agriculture, centered around a working farm. It is a fantastic destination for groups interested in sustainability, farming, or just great food. Visitors can walk the pathways lined with fruit trees, visit the community garden, or dine at Joe’s Farm Grill (featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives), which utilizes produce grown right on the property. The site also features Barnone, a craftsman community where local makers sell their goods, from custom woodworks to craft beer at 12 West Brewing.
Why rent a bus here? Agritopia is a popular spot, and its layout is designed for walking, not necessarily for parking a fleet of cars. A minibus rental is perfect for navigating the narrower streets surrounding the community. It’s an ideal educational trip for students learning about farm-to-table concepts or a relaxed afternoon outing for corporate teams looking to decompress. Your bus can wait nearby while you explore the farm and shops at your leisure.

Gilbert Regional Park
If your group is looking to burn off some energy, Gilbert Regional Park is the place to go. This massive park features "The Strand," a 4,000-square-foot splash pad, along with iconic, multi-level playgrounds that look like they came from the future. It also boasts ample green space, pickleball courts, tennis courts, and a large amphitheater that hosts concerts and community events. It is a prime location for large company picnics, youth group field days, or family reunions.
Why rent a bus here? When you are hauling coolers, sports equipment, picnic supplies, and towels for a large group, you need space. A full-size charter bus rental provides massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for transporting all your event gear. Instead of cramming supplies into the trunks of multiple cars, load everything onto the bus and enjoy a comfortable ride. Plus, for summer outings, nothing beats stepping back onto an air-conditioned bus after a hot day in the Arizona sun.

SanTan Village
For the shopaholics in your group, SanTan Village offers a premier open-air shopping experience. This regional outdoor mall features major retailers like Apple, Dillard’s, and Macy’s, alongside a wide variety of dining options ranging from fast-casual to upscale sit-down restaurants. It’s a popular destination for holiday shopping tours, tourist groups, and student groups looking for a free afternoon of browsing and dining.
Why rent a bus here? Shopping trips are better when you don’t have to carry your bags halfway across a parking lot. With Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert, you can arrange for drop-off and pick-up at specific locations within the mall complex. If your group splits up to shop, the bus can serve as a central meeting point or a place to store purchases securely so you can continue shopping hands-free. A minibus is also great for shuttling conference attendees from local hotels to SanTan Village for an evening of dining and entertainment.

Topgolf Gilbert
Whether you are a scratch golfer or have never swung a club in your life, Topgolf Gilbert is a blast. This high-tech driving range features climate-controlled bays, point-scoring golf games using microchipped balls, and an extensive food and drink menu. It is one of the most popular venues in the East Valley for corporate team building, bachelor parties, and birthday celebrations. The venue has a lively atmosphere with music and rooftop terraces.
Why rent a bus here? Topgolf events often involve alcohol and large groups. A party bus rental is the ultimate way to keep the energy high from pickup to drop-off. You can play music, enjoy LED lighting, and socialize on the way to the venue. More importantly, it ensures everyone arrives home comfortably without the need for multiple rideshares. For corporate events, a shuttle bus keeps the team professional and punctual, ensuring that your scheduled bay time is fully utilized.

Fat Cats Gilbert
Fat Cats in Gilbert is an all-in-one entertainment center that is perfect for youth groups, graduation parties, and summer camps. The massive facility includes a luxury movie theater with reclining seats, a huge arcade, glow-in-the-dark mini-golf, and bowling lanes. It’s a fantastic option when you need an indoor activity to escape the Arizona heat. Because there is so much to do under one roof, it simplifies planning for organizers of large youth events.
Why rent a bus here? Keeping track of 30 or more kids at a busy entertainment complex is hard enough; getting them there shouldn't be. A charter bus rental keeps your entire group contained in one vehicle, allowing chaperones to do a headcount easily before stepping off the bus.
