A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Daytona International Speedway
You cannot talk about this city without mentioning the undisputed "World Center of Racing." The Daytona International Speedway (1801 W International Speedway Blvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114) is a mecca for motorsports fans, hosting the iconic Daytona 500, the Rolex 24, and the Coke Zero Sugar 400. Even when there isn’t a race, the facility offers incredible track tours that take you along the 31-degree banking and into the motorsports hall of fame. The sheer scale of the venue is breathtaking, spanning nearly 500 acres.
However, that massive scale creates a massive challenge: navigating the parking lots. During race days or major events like "Welcome to Rockville," parking can be miles away from the entrance, requiring long walks in the sun. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Daytona Beach, you skip the chaos. Your driver can drop your group off at designated commercial loading zones near the injectors (entrances), saving your legs for exploring the Midway. Plus, with undercarriage storage on our full-size coaches, you have plenty of room for coolers, folding chairs, and tailgating gear. After the checkered flag waves, you can relax in a reclining seat with air conditioning blasting while your driver handles the post-race traffic on International Speedway Boulevard.
Daytona Beach Boardwalk and Pier
For a dose of nostalgia and seaside fun, the Daytona Beach Boardwalk and Pier (1200 Main St, Daytona Beach, FL 32118) is a must-visit. This area features the classic Joyland Amusement Center, the Daytona Beach Bandshell for outdoor concerts, and plenty of dining options like Joe's Crab Shack right on the pier. It is the quintessential Florida beach experience, perfect for youth groups, senior outings, and family vacations. Groups can walk the sands, play in the arcades, or catch a fireworks show on Saturday nights during the summer.
The challenge here is almost always parking. Street parking and small lots fill up instantly, especially on weekends and holidays. By booking a minibus or charter bus, you eliminate the need to hunt for ten different parking spots. We can coordinate a drop-off point near Ocean Center or right off Atlantic Avenue (A1A), allowing your group to step right out onto the pavement and start the fun immediately. When everyone is sandy and tired at the end of the day, your bus will be waiting to whisk you back to your hotel or next destination.
Museum of Arts & Sciences (MOAS)
Situated on a beautiful 90-acre nature preserve, the Museum of Arts & Sciences (352 S Nova Rd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114) is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution and arguably the best educational stop in Central Florida. The campus includes the Root Family Museum (featuring antique train cars and Coca-Cola memorabilia), the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art, and a state-of-the-art planetarium. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips, camp outings, and senior tour groups looking for a touch of culture away from the beach crowds.
Coordinating a school trip or a large tour group here requires precision. Charter Bus Rental Company Daytona Beach specializes in academic and private tour transportation. Instead of relying on cramped, non-air-conditioned yellow school buses, treat your students and chaperones to a modern charter bus with onboard DVDs to watch educational documentaries on the way there. We can drop your group right at the main entrance for easy check-in. While your group explores the galleries or walks the nature trails, your bus will be staged nearby, ready for a prompt departure to lunch or back to campus.
Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse & Museum
Standing at 175 feet tall, the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse (4931 S Peninsula Dr, Ponce Inlet, FL 32127) is the tallest lighthouse in Florida and one of the tallest in the United States. Climbing the 203 steps to the top offers a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River that is unmatched in the region. The surrounding museum buildings offer a glimpse into the life of lightkeepers in the 19th century.
The lighthouse is located about 20 minutes south of the main Daytona Beach tourist strip, down a scenic but two-lane stretch of South Atlantic Avenue and Peninsula Drive. Keeping a caravan of cars together on this drive can be stressful, as traffic lights and beach traffic often separate groups. With a private bus rental, your group enjoys the scenic coastal drive together through panoramic windows. Your driver handles the navigation through the sleepy town of Ponce Inlet, ensuring everyone arrives at the lighthouse simultaneously so you can begin your tour as a single unit.
Jackie Robinson Ballpark
History and sports collide at Jackie Robinson Ballpark (105 E Orange Ave, Daytona Beach, FL 32114), located on City Island in the Halifax River. This historic stadium is where Jackie Robinson played his first integrated spring training game in 1946. Today, it is the home of the Daytona Tortugas, a Minor League Baseball affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. It is a fantastic, affordable outing for corporate team-building events, church groups, or sports teams traveling for tournaments.
Parking on City Island can be tight when the Tortugas are playing or during special events. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Daytona Beach alleviates this stress entirely. We can drop your group off right near the ticket office. While you enjoy hot dogs, fireworks, and baseball history, your driver handles the vehicle. If your local team is playing a tournament nearby, our buses offer ample storage for baseball bags, bats, and uniforms, keeping the aisles clear for your players to stretch out and rest before the game.
Tanger Outlets Daytona Beach
For groups that love to shop, Tanger Outlets Daytona Beach (1100 Cornerstone Blvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32117) is a paradise. Located just off I-95, this open-air mall features dozens of brand-name stores like Nike, Kate Spade, and Under Armour. It is a popular stop for tour groups heading down the coast or spouses looking for an activity while a conference is happening at the Ocean Center.
The beauty of visiting the outlets with a charter bus is the storage. After hours of shopping, nobody wants to cram dozens of shopping bags onto their laps in a small car or rideshare. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays. Your group can shop to their hearts' content, store their purchases safely under the bus, and return to the shops for round two light-handed. Plus, the air-conditioned cabin provides a welcome respite from the Florida humidity between stores.
Marine Science Center
Just around the corner from the lighthouse, the Marine Science Center (100 Lighthouse Dr, Ponce Inlet, FL 32127) offers an intimate look at Volusia County’s marine life. The center is famous for its sea turtle and seabird rehabilitation hospitals. Visitors can see turtles in recovery, interact with stingrays in the touch pool, and walk through a mangrove estuary. It is a smaller venue, perfect for focused educational trips or nature lovers.
Because it is located in Ponce Inlet, combining this with a lighthouse visit makes for a perfect day trip. Charter Bus Rental Company Daytona Beach can create a custom itinerary that shuttles your group seamlessly from the Lighthouse to the Marine Science Center and then perhaps to a local seafood restaurant on the inlet for lunch. You dictate the schedule, and the drivers stick to it, ensuring you maximize your time at the exhibits rather than checking GPS.
Daytona Lagoon
If you are looking to cool off, Daytona Lagoon (601 Earl St, Daytona Beach, FL 32118) is the place to be. Located right across from the Ocean Center and just steps from the beach, this waterpark and family entertainment center features slides, a lazy river, go-karts, laser tag, and mini-golf. It is a favorite for youth groups, graduation celebrations, and summer camps.
Managing a large group of excited kids at a waterpark is a challenge in itself; worrying about transportation shouldn't add to it. By booking a bus rental, you ensure headcounts are easy—everyone gets on the bus together at departure and return. There is no waiting for parents to pick up kids in a crowded parking garage. Your bus driver can stage at a designated area near the Ocean Center, making loading and unloading safe and efficient. Plus, after a day of swimming and running around, the comfortable, plush seats of our buses usually mean a quiet, nap-filled ride home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Daytona Beach Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Daytona Beach?
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. Trips are billed by the hour (with a 5-hour minimum) for local events or by the day/mile for long-distance trips. For example, rates during peak times like the Daytona 500 or Bike Week may be higher due to demand. To get the most accurate price, call our team at 386-478-4415 or use our online quote tool for a 30-second estimate customized to your specific itinerary.
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 standard trips, booking 3 to 6 months in advance is usually sufficient to secure your preferred vehicle type. However, if your trip coincides with major local events like Race Week, Bike Week, or Spring Break, demand is incredibly high. In those cases, we suggest booking 6 to 9 months in advance to ensure availability and the best possible pricing.
Where can the bus pick us up and drop us off?
Charter Bus Rental Company Daytona Beach provides door-to-door service. We can pick your group up at almost any location that can legally and safely accommodate a large commercial vehicle, including hotels, private residences, airports (like Daytona Beach International or Orlando International), schools, and offices. We will drop you off right at the entrance of your destination or the nearest designated bus loading zone. When you book, just provide us with your specific addresses, and we will handle the routing logistics.
Is there space for luggage and beach gear on the bus?
Absolutely! Our 56-passenger full-size charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays perfect for suitcases, coolers, beach chairs, sports equipment, and band instruments. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for smaller carry-on items like backpacks and purses to keep the aisle clear. If you are renting a smaller vehicle, like a minibus, storage space may be more limited to the rear of the bus or overhead racks, so be sure to let our reservation agent know how much gear you are bringing so we can recommend the right bus size for you.
