A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park
No trip to Macon is complete without visiting the site that chronicles over 17,000 years of human history. Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park is a prehistoric Native American site that offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Your group can explore the Earth Lodge, which retains its original floor from 1,015 A.D., or climb the Great Temple Mound for a panoramic view of downtown Macon. The park features miles of walking trails, a comprehensive museum with over 2,000 artifacts, and wide-open spaces perfect for educational tours and history buffs alike.
Traveling to Ocmulgee Mounds with a group is significantly easier with a charter bus rental. Located at 1207 Emery Hwy, Macon, GA 31217, the park has ample space for motorcoach parking, but coordinating arrival times for multiple personal vehicles can be chaotic. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Macon, your entire group—whether it is a school class, a scout troop, or a history club—can arrive together. Your driver can drop you off right at the Visitor Center entrance, allowing you to bypass the walk from the overflow parking areas on busy days. After a day of hiking and learning, your group will appreciate the air-conditioned comfort of a modern bus waiting to take you to your next stop.
The Allman Brothers Band Museum at The Big House
Macon is synonymous with Southern Rock, and there is no better place to experience that legacy than at The Big House. This was the home where the Allman Brothers Band, their roadies, and their families lived from 1970 to 1973. Now transformed into an interactive museum, it houses the world's largest collection of Allman Brothers memorabilia, including instruments, clothing, and handwritten lyrics. It is a pilgrimage site for music lovers from around the globe and a must-see destination for any cultural tour of the South.
Located at 2321 Vineville Ave, Macon, GA 31204, The Big House is situated in a residential area where parking can be tight for large groups. Instead of forcing your group to find street parking and walk, a minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Macon offers the perfect solution. We can arrange a seamless drop-off right at the gate. If you are visiting during a special event or a busy weekend, having a dedicated driver means you can enjoy the exhibits without worrying about meters or time limits. Plus, with the ample overhead storage on our buses, you’ll have plenty of room to stow away vinyl records, t-shirts, and other souvenirs you pick up at the museum gift shop.
Tubman Museum
As the largest museum in the Southeast dedicated to African American art, history, and culture, the Tubman Museum is a cultural jewel in downtown Macon. The museum features stunning exhibitions ranging from the inventions of African American visionaries to beautiful local folk art. A highlight for many groups is the expansive mural that depicts the journey of African Americans from Africa to America. It is an ideal destination for school field trips, church groups, and cultural organizations looking to deepen their understanding of history and art.
The Tubman Museum is located in the heart of the city at 310 Cherry St, Macon, GA 31201. While downtown Macon is beautiful and walkable, parking multiple cars for a large group can be expensive and difficult to coordinate. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Macon, you eliminate these logistical headaches. Your driver can navigate the downtown streets and drop your group off curbside, ensuring accessibility for all passengers, including those with mobility concerns. While you explore the galleries, your driver will handle the parking logistics. Afterward, your bus will be ready to shuttle you to a nearby restaurant for lunch or to your next attraction.
Museum of Arts and Sciences
If you are looking for a destination that offers a little bit of everything—from live animals to fine art—the Museum of Arts and Sciences is the place to go. This multidisciplinary facility features a planetarium with digital star shows, a mini-zoo with over 70 live animals, and rotating art galleries. It is a fantastic destination for diverse groups because it truly offers something for everyone, regardless of age or interest. It’s particularly popular for STEM-focused school trips and family reunions looking for kid-friendly activities.
Located at 4182 Forsyth Rd, Macon, GA 31210, the museum is easily accessible via charter bus. When you organize a trip here with Charter Bus Rental Company Macon, you ensure that your group stays together for the entire experience. Teachers and chaperones love our buses because they provide a controlled environment where headcount is easy, and students can watch educational DVDs on the onboard monitors during the ride. Whether you need a fleet of buses for an entire grade level or a single minibus for a private tour, we have the capacity to meet your needs. We ensure safe, reliable transport so you can focus on the stars in the planetarium, not the traffic on Forsyth Road.
Hay House (Johnston-Felton-Hay House)
Often referred to as the "Palace of the South," the Hay House is a stunning example of Italian Renaissance Revival architecture. This 18,000-square-foot mansion, built in the mid-19th century, is filled with technological marvels of its time and breathtaking interior design. It is a National Historic Landmark and a favorite stop for architectural tours, history enthusiasts, and wedding parties looking for a picturesque backdrop. The house offers guided tours that take visitors through multiple levels of the home, including the spectacular cupola with views of the city.
You can find this architectural wonder at 934 Georgia Ave, Macon, GA 31201. The streets surrounding this historic district are charming but can be narrow and difficult for a convoy of personal vehicles to navigate and park. A minibus rental is the elegant transportation solution that matches the sophistication of the venue. Charter Bus Rental Company Macon specializes in wedding shuttles and private tour transportation to landmarks like the Hay House. Let us transport your wedding guests or tour group in style, with plush seating and climate control that keeps everyone looking their best for photos upon arrival. We can coordinate shuttles between the Hay House, local hotels, and reception venues to keep your event running smoothly.
International Cherry Blossom Festival
Every March, Macon transforms into a pink paradise as over 350,000 Yoshino cherry trees bloom, earning the city the title of "Cherry Blossom Capital of the World." The International Cherry Blossom Festival is a ten-day celebration featuring parades, concerts, food fairs, and amusement rides. It is one of the top events in the South, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors. The main festival hub is typically located at Carolyn Crayton Park, 150 Willie Smokie Glover Dr, Macon, GA 31201, though events happen all over the city.
Attending a festival of this magnitude with a large group can be a nightmare if you are relying on personal cars. Traffic is heavy, road closures are common for parades, and parking lots fill up instantly. The smartest way to enjoy the "Pinkest Party on Earth" is by renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Macon. We can drop your group near the festival entrance, allowing you to avoid the long walks from remote parking lots. A private bus also serves as a perfect meeting point and a cool place to rest your feet or store festival souvenirs. Whether you are a senior group coming for a day trip or a marching band participating in the parade, we have the experience to navigate the festival traffic efficiently.
Mercer University
Founded in 1833, Mercer University is one of America's oldest and most distinctive institutions of higher learning. The beautiful Macon campus is a hub for academic tours, collegiate sporting events, and conferences. Whether you are a high school counselor arranging a campus tour for prospective students, an alumni group returning for homecoming, or a visiting athletic team, Mercer is a key destination in Macon. The campus is located at 1501 Mercer University Dr, Macon, GA 31207.
Charter Bus Rental Company Macon is the preferred transportation partner for academic and athletic travel in the region. For campus tours, the drivers can follow a specific route to ensure prospective students see all the highlights, from the administration building to the student center, without the fatigue of walking across the entire campus. For sporting events, our full-size charter buses offer massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for team equipment, uniforms, and coolers. Athletes can rest in reclining seats and use the onboard power outlets to stay charged up before the game. We make campus logistics simple and stress-free.
Amerson River Park
For groups looking to enjoy the great outdoors, Amerson River Park offers 180 acres of pristine forests, meadows, and wetlands along the Ocmulgee River. It was once the site of the Macon Water Authority’s treatment plant but has been transformed into a premier park featuring a playground, pavilion, and miles of paved trails. It is a fantastic spot for company picnics, family reunions, and environmental education trips. The park entrance is located at 2551 N Pierce Dr, Macon, GA 31204.
When planning a picnic or outdoor event here, you likely have a lot of gear—coolers, games, food, and folding chairs. A charter bus rental provides the storage space you need to transport everything easily. Instead of cramming supplies into trunks and backseats, load everything into the bus’s storage bays. Charter Bus Rental Company Macon can shuttle your group to the park for a day of kayaking, tubing, or hiking. After a long day in the sun, there is nothing better than boarding a cool, air-conditioned bus for a relaxing ride back home. We can even arrange multiple shuttle runs if your group wants to leave at different times.
