A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Old Town Scottsdale
No trip to the Valley is complete without a visit to the historic and vibrant Old Town Scottsdale (3939 N Drinkwater Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251). This walkable district is the heartbeat of the city, offering a unique blend of Wild West charm and modern luxury. Your group can spend the day browsing Native American jewelry and Southwestern art in the Main Street Arts District, or shopping for high-end fashion at the boutiques along 5th Avenue. As the sun sets, the Entertainment District comes alive with some of the best nightlife in the state, featuring high-energy clubs and laid-back saloons like the Rusty Spur.
Why Rent a Bus here: Parking in Old Town can be a nightmare, especially on weekends or during the busy tourist season (January through April). Public garages fill up fast, and street parking is scarce. With a minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Scottsdale, your driver can drop your group off right near the famous “West’s Most Western Town” sign or at a designated loading zone near the waterfront. You can shop, dine, and dance without worrying about feeding meters or designating a driver.
Taliesin West
Immerse your group in architectural history at Taliesin West (12621 N Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85259), the winter home and desert laboratory of the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this stunning campus is nestled in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains and offers deep insights into Wright's organic architecture. Guided tours take visitors through the drafting rooms, garden rooms, and living quarters, all built using rocks and sand from the surrounding desert.
Why Rent a Bus here: Taliesin West is located in North Scottsdale, quite a distance from the main hotel hubs and the airport. The drive up Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard offers scenic desert views that are best enjoyed from the high panoramic windows of a charter bus. Plus, coordinating arrival times for a scheduled group tour is essential here; if half your group is stuck in traffic in separate cars, you might miss your slot. A charter bus ensures everyone arrives simultaneously, ready for the tour.
OdySea Aquarium
Escape the desert heat and dive into an underwater world at OdySea Aquarium (9500 E Vía de Ventura Suite A-100, Scottsdale, AZ 85256), the largest aquarium in the Southwest. Located at the Arizona Boardwalk, this massive facility features over 65 exhibits, including a Russian Sturgeon touch tank and the world’s only rotating aquarium experience, Voyager. It’s a fantastic destination for school field trips, family reunions, and corporate team-building events. While you are there, you can also visit the neighboring Butterfly Wonderland to see thousands of butterflies in a lush rainforest atrium.
Why Rent a Bus here: The Arizona Boardwalk is a massive complex with huge parking lots that can mean a long walk to the entrance under the blazing sun. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Scottsdale, your driver can pull up to the designated group drop-off area right at the front entrance. We can organize a specific pickup time, allowing your group to enjoy the AC inside without rushing. For school groups, our 56-passenger motorcoaches have ample undercarriage storage for packed lunches and backpacks.
McDowell Sonoran Preserve
For groups that want to experience the raw beauty of the Sonoran Desert, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve (18333 N Thompson Peak Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85255) is unmatched. Spanning over 30,000 acres, this protected area offers more than 200 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The Gateway Trailhead is a popular starting point for groups, offering varying levels of difficulty and incredible views of saguaro cacti and desert wildflowers.
Why Rent a Bus here: After a long hike in the dry Arizona heat, the last thing anyone wants to do is sit in a hot car waiting for the AC to kick in. A charter bus rental provides a climate-controlled sanctuary waiting for you at the trailhead. Your driver can have the bus cooled down before you finish your hike. Plus, our buses offer plenty of storage space for hiking poles, extra water coolers, and change of clothes, keeping the main cabin clutter-free and comfortable for your return trip.
Scottsdale Fashion Square
If your group loves to shop, Scottsdale Fashion Square (7014 E Camelback Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) is a non-negotiable stop. As the largest shopping mall in the American Southwest, it features over 2 million square feet of retail space, including luxury brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Cartier, alongside favorites like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. It’s also home to a luxury cinema and top-tier dining options like Nobu and Toca Madera.
Why Rent a Bus here: Fashion Square is massive, and navigating the parking garages during peak hours can take 30 minutes or more. A charter bus rental allows for a VIP experience: get dropped off at the luxury wing entrance and let your driver handle the vehicle while you shop. And let’s be honest—if you’re hitting the shops hard, you’re going to have bags. Stash your purchases safely in the overhead bins or undercarriage of your bus while you grab dinner nearby, rather than lugging them around.
Talking Stick Resort & Casino
For adult groups looking for entertainment, Talking Stick Resort (9800 E Talking Stick Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85256) offers a little bit of everything. From a high-energy casino floor and championship golf courses to a luxurious spa and a vibrant pool party scene at the RELEASE pool parties, it’s a hub of excitement. The resort also hosts major concerts and comedy shows in its ballroom and showroom.
Why Rent a Bus here: Whether you are planning a bachelor party, a corporate night out, or a casino hop, comfort is paramount. Enjoy the gaming and the cocktails without worrying about how you’ll get back to your hotel. Our buses can be equipped with AUX/Bluetooth sound systems and LED lighting to keep the party vibe going between your hotel and the casino.
Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West
Located in Old Town, Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West (3830 N Marshall Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) is a Smithsonian Affiliate that celebrates the art, history, and culture of the 19 states comprising the American West. The museum features rotating exhibits of Western art, pottery, artifacts, and jewelry. It is an educational and visually stunning stop for tour groups, senior communities, and history buffs.
Why Rent a Bus here: This museum is a cultural gem, but it is located in a busy part of the arts district. A charter bus rental is perfect for senior groups or those with mobility concerns, as we can arrange for curbside drop-off to minimize walking distances. After touring the museum, your group can easily re-board the bus to head to a group lunch at a nearby restaurant without the hassle of re-parking multiple vehicles.
Salt River Fields at Talking Stick
If you are visiting in the spring (typically February and March), catching a Spring Training baseball game is a rite of passage. Salt River Fields (7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258) is the spring home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies. It is widely considered one of the best facilities in the Cactus League, offering great sightlines, local food vendors, and a beautiful lawn seating area.
Why Rent a Bus here: Spring Training games draw massive crowds, and traffic on Pima Road can be gridlocked before the first pitch. By renting a charter bus, your group can turn the travel time into a tailgate on wheels. Load up your coolers and snacks in the storage bays, play hype music on the sound system, and get dropped off near the stadium entrance. Your driver will handle the post-game exodus while you relax in a reclining seat.
