A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Rock Out at Hertz Arena

Just a stone's throw north of Bonita Springs in Estero, Hertz Arena is the premier destination for major entertainment in the region. This 7,000-seat multi-purpose arena is the home ice for the Florida Everblades ECHL hockey team, but it also serves as the main stage for national touring acts ranging from country superstars and classic rock legends to Disney on Ice and professional wrestling. Whether you are rallying a group of 50 fans for a hockey game or heading to a sold-out concert, Hertz Arena draws massive crowds, which inevitably leads to heavy traffic on I-75 and Ben Hill Griffin Parkway.

When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Bonita Springs, you skip the headache of the parking garage lines. We can drop your group off right near the entrance so you can head straight for the concessions or your seats. If you are tailgating for a concert or sporting event , our full-size motorcoaches offer ample undercarriage storage for coolers, chairs, and banners. After the encore or the final buzzer, you won't have to fight the gridlock to leave; your driver will be waiting to whisk you away in air-conditioned comfort. It is the most stress-free way to enjoy big-ticket entertainment in Southwest Florida.

Enjoy Outdoor Festivities at Riverside Park

Located in the heart of Old Bonita on the banks of the Imperial River, Riverside Park is the community's living room. Throughout the year, this scenic bandshell and park host some of the city's most beloved free events, including the "Celebrate Bonita" festival, Star-Spangled Bonita on the Fourth of July, and the popular Movies in the Park series. The park comes alive with live music, food trucks, and local vendors, drawing thousands of residents and visitors. However, parking in the historic downtown area is extremely limited, often forcing attendees to park blocks away and walk in the Florida heat.

A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Bonita Springs is the perfect solution for church groups, school field trips , or neighborhood associations heading to Riverside Park. Your driver can drop your group off right at the edge of the park on Reynolds Street, ensuring accessibility for everyone, including those with mobility concerns. While you enjoy the outdoor concert or holiday festival, your bus will handle the parking logistics. Once the fireworks end or the last song is played, you can board your cool, comfortable bus and head home or to a local restaurant on Old 41 Road to continue the evening.

Dinner and Dancing at The Stage

For a unique night out that combines dining with high-energy live music, The Stage in Bonita Springs is a local favorite. Famous for its tribute bands honoring legends like The Beatles, Motown greats, and classic rock icons, The Stage offers a dinner-theater-style experience that encourages dancing and audience participation. It is a fantastic venue for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, and corporate holiday parties. However, if your group plans to enjoy the full bar and dance the night away, arranging comfortable transportation is a must.

Rent a party bus or a sprinter van from Charter Bus Rental Company Bonita Springs to elevate your night at The Stage. Our vehicles come equipped with premium sound systems, LED lighting, and comfortable leather seating to get the party started before you even arrive. You won't have to worry about assigning designated drivers or splitting the group into multiple rideshares. Everyone travels together, arrives together, and gets home safely at the end of the night. It turns a simple dinner show into a VIP experience that your group will talk about for years.

Arts and Culture at the Centers for the Arts Bonita Springs

The Centers for the Arts Bonita Springs operates two campuses, but for live performances, the Hinman Auditorium and the Moe Auditorium & Film Center are the places to be. These intimate venues host a diverse array of events, including jazz concerts, comedy shows, international film festivals, and community theater productions. It is a cultural gem for groups who appreciate the finer arts but want to avoid the trek to larger cities. Educational groups and art clubs frequently visit for rotating exhibitions and workshops as well.

Charter Bus Rental Company Bonita Springs provides reliable transportation for senior communities, art appreciation clubs, and student groups visiting the Centers for the Arts. A minibus is often the perfect size for these outings, offering a more intimate setting for your group to discuss the performance or film on the way home. With plush reclining seats and climate control, your group can relax and enjoy the cultural offerings of Bonita Springs without the stress of navigating Bonita Beach Road traffic.

A Short Ride North: Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall

While Bonita Springs has plenty to offer, sometimes the big Broadway shows require a short trip north to Fort Myers. The Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall at Florida SouthWestern State College is the region's top venue for touring Broadway productions, symphonies, and headline comedy acts. Located off Summerlin Road, traffic can become gridlocked prior to curtain time, especially during the height of the winter tourist season. Coordinating a caravan of cars for a large group to see "Hamilton" or "Wicked" can result in late arrivals and separated parties.

Let Charter Bus Rental Company Bonita Springs handle the drive. Whether you are organizing a trip for a theater group, a high school drama club, or a corporate client appreciation night, a charter bus ensures punctuality. We can plan a pick-up at your office, community center, or hotel in Bonita Springs and drive you directly to the Hall's entrance. On the way, use the onboard WiFi to check the playbill online or use the PA system to give your group background on the show. It is the most sophisticated and efficient way to enjoy a night at the theater.

Address: 13350 FSW Pkwy, Fort Myers, FL 33919

Luxury Entertainment at Artis—Naples

Just south of Bonita Springs lies Artis—Naples, the premier center for the performing and visual arts in Southwest Florida. Home to the Naples Philharmonic and the Baker Museum, this venue hosts world-class orchestra performances, ballet, opera, and celebrity concerts. For groups seeking an upscale evening of culture, Artis—Naples is the destination of choice. Arriving in a convoy of personal vehicles doesn't quite match the elegance of the venue, and parking decks can be confusing for first-time visitors.

Choose a sleek, modern motorcoach or a luxury minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Bonita Springs for your trip to Artis—Naples. Our vehicles are kept in pristine condition, matching the sophistication of your evening. If you are attending a gala or a black-tie opening, our buses offer plenty of headroom and space to ensure formal wear stays wrinkle-free. Enjoy a smooth ride down US-41, perhaps stopping for a high-end dinner at the Waterside Shops before the show. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the art.

Address: 5833 Pelican Bay Blvd, Naples, FL 34108

Celebrate at the Bonita Springs National Art Festivals

Three times a year, Riverside Park transforms into a sprawling gallery for the Bonita Springs National Art Festivals. Consistently ranked among the top art festivals in the country, these events draw hundreds of artists and tens of thousands of spectators to downtown Bonita Springs. The influx of visitors shuts down streets and fills every available parking spot for miles. For tour groups, retirement communities, or large families wanting to browse the art, simply driving there can be the most stressful part of the day.

Charter Bus Rental Company Bonita Springs offers the ultimate hack for festival-goers. We can shuttle your group from a designated meeting point directly to the festival entrance. Your group can spend the day browsing sculptures, paintings, and jewelry without worrying about feeding a meter or walking miles back to a car parked on a grass verge. With ample storage space on our buses, you can even safely stow any art pieces you purchase for the ride home. Make the art festival a relaxing day out, not a traffic nightmare.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bonita Springs Concert Transportation

How far in advance should we book our bus for a concert?

We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your event tickets and a headcount, ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. Bonita Springs is a busy destination, especially during the "season" (January through April), and availability can tighten quickly for popular concert dates and festivals. Booking early ensures you get the best selection of vehicles and pricing .

Is there storage space for tailgating gear?

Absolutely! Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays. There is plenty of room for coolers, folding chairs, small grills, cornhole boards, and tents. If you are renting a minibus, storage space is more limited, so please discuss your equipment needs with our team when booking to ensure we match you with the right vehicle.

Can you take us to concerts in Miami or Tampa?

Yes! Charter Bus Rental Company Bonita Springs specializes in long-distance group travel. We frequently transport groups from Bonita Springs to major venues across the state, including the Kaseya Center in Miami, Amalie Arena in Tampa, and Camping World Stadium in Orlando. You can relax in reclining seats and enjoy onboard entertainment during the drive across Alligator Alley or up I-75.

What happens if the concert runs late?

When you book a private charter bus, the schedule is yours. Unlike public shuttles that run on fixed loops, your driver is there for your specific group. We understand that concerts can have encores or overtime games. When booking, we help you pad your itinerary to account for potential delays. As long as the extra time doesn't conflict with the driver's legal hours of service limits (safety first!), your bus will be waiting for you when the event ends.
