A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Old Town Scottsdale
No trip to the area is complete without spending significant time in Old Town Scottsdale (located roughly between Chaparral Road and Earll Drive). This vibrant district is the heartbeat of the city, offering a unique blend of Wild West history and modern luxury. Your group can explore nine walkable neighborhoods filled with art galleries, souvenir shops, award-winning restaurants, and high-energy nightclubs. During the day, visit the historic Little Red Schoolhouse or browse the high-end boutiques along 5th Avenue. At night, the Entertainment District lights up with some of the best nightlife in Arizona.
Parking in Old Town can be a nightmare, especially during peak tourist season or on weekend nights when the clubs are busy. Public parking garages fill up quickly, and street parking is scarce. By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Scottsdale, you can skip the parking hunt entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the Scottsdale Waterfront or the intersection of Scottsdale Road and Main Street, allowing you immediate access to the action. After a day of shopping or a night of dancing, your air-conditioned bus will be waiting to whisk you back to your hotel or resort safely.

Taliesin West
For architecture buffs and history lovers, Taliesin West is a non-negotiable stop. This UNESCO World Heritage site served as Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and desert laboratory. Nestled in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, the structure is a masterpiece of organic architecture, built using local desert rocks and sand to blend seamlessly with the landscape. Groups can take guided tours to see Wright’s living quarters, the drafting studio, and the theaters, gaining insight into the mind of one of America's greatest architects.
Taliesin West is located in North Scottsdale, a bit removed from the city center. The roads leading up to the site can be winding and narrow, which might be daunting for those unfamiliar with the area. A charter bus driver handles these desert roads with ease. We can arrange a tour bus rental that fits your group size perfectly, ensuring you arrive in comfort. Once there, your group can disembark right at the visitor center entrance. Keep in mind that tours often require reservations in advance, especially for large groups, so be sure to book your tickets early. While you tour the grounds, your bus will wait in the designated oversized vehicle parking area, ready to cool you down immediately after your walking tour in the desert heat.
Address: 12621 N Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85259
OdySea Aquarium
Located at the Arizona Boardwalk, OdySea Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the Southwest and a fantastic destination for school field trips, family reunions, and corporate outings. The facility spans 200,000 square feet and holds over 2 million gallons of water. Your group can marvel at sharks, sea turtles, penguins, and otters. A highlight is the Voyager, a rotating theater experience that takes you through the depths of the ocean inside a submerged seating area. It’s a great way to escape the Arizona heat and immerse yourself in an underwater world.
The Arizona Boardwalk area can get extremely busy, particularly on weekends and during school holidays. While there is ample parking, the lots are massive, meaning a long walk to the entrance if you arrive late. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Scottsdale, we provide curbside drop-off service near the main entrance. This is particularly helpful for school groups or senior tours where minimizing walking distance is a priority. Your bus can park in the designated bus lot while your group explores the aquarium and the surrounding attractions, like Pangea Land of the Dinosaurs or the many shops and restaurants on the boardwalk.
Address: 9500 E Via de Ventura, Suite A-100, Scottsdale, AZ 85256
McDowell Sonoran Preserve
If your group wants to experience the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve is the place to go. Covering more than 30,000 acres, this protected area features over 200 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The Gateway Trailhead is one of the most popular access points, offering routes for various skill levels, including the accessible Bajada Nature Trail. It’s the perfect spot for active corporate team-building events or outdoor enthusiasts looking to see the giant Saguaro cacti up close.
Parking at trailheads like Gateway or Tom's Thumb is limited and fills up very early in the morning, especially during the cooler months of spring and fall. A minibus or charter bus rental is the smartest way to transport a hiking group. We can drop you off right at the trailhead so you don't have to circle for a spot or park miles away. After your hike, there is nothing better than stepping into a climate-controlled bus with reclining seats to rest your legs and rehydrate with cold water stored in the bus's luggage bays. We can even shuttle your group to a local spa or restaurant afterward for a well-deserved post-hike treat.
Address: 18333 N Thompson Peak Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85255 (Gateway Trailhead)
Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West
Immerse your group in the art, history, and culture of the American West at Western Spirit. Located in Old Town Scottsdale, this Smithsonian Affiliate museum features rotating exhibits of Western art, rare artifacts, and cultural heritage displays spanning 19 states. It is an excellent educational stop for student groups or history buffs. The museum’s stunning architecture and outdoor sculpture courtyards also make it a beautiful venue for private events.
Since Western Spirit is located in the heart of Old Town, navigating a convoy of cars to the museum can be frustrating due to the bustling traffic and one-way streets. A charter bus rental simplifies the logistics. Your driver can navigate the Old Town traffic and drop your group off at the designated loading zone near the museum entrance on Marshall Way. While you explore the history of the West, your driver will handle the parking logistics. This allows your group to move freely from the museum to nearby lunch spots in the Arts District without worrying about moving vehicles or paying for multiple parking meters.
Address: 3830 N Marshall Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Talking Stick Resort & Casino
For adult groups looking for entertainment, Talking Stick Resort is a premier destination. This AAA Four Diamond resort offers a 240,000-square-foot casino, a luxurious spa, championship golf at Talking Stick Golf Club, and world-class entertainment in its showroom and pool area. Whether you are planning a bachelor party, a corporate casino night, or just a fun weekend getaway, Talking Stick has it all under one roof. It’s also a major hub for concerts and comedy shows.
When alcohol and gaming are on the itinerary, safety is paramount. Renting a party bus or charter bus from Charter Bus Scottsdale ensures that everyone in your group has a safe, reliable ride home. You won’t have to worry about designating drivers or splitting up into expensive rideshares. Our buses can shuttle your group from your hotel to the casino and back, operating on your schedule. If you are attending a concert or a pool party event, the drop-off process is seamless at the main valet entrance or the dedicated bus lane, ensuring you walk straight onto the casino floor or into the venue without delay.
Address: 9800 E Talking Stick Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85256
Salt River Fields at Talking Stick
If you are visiting in the spring, Salt River Fields is the place to be. As the Spring Training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies, this award-winning facility offers some of the best baseball experiences in the Cactus League. Even outside of spring training, the fields host food festivals, concerts, and holiday events like the mesmerizing scenic balloon festivals. The sprawling complex offers stunning mountain views and plenty of lawn seating for a relaxed group outing.
Spring Training games draw massive crowds, and traffic around the stadium on the Loop 101 can be gridlocked. Parking costs at the stadium can also add up quickly for multiple vehicles. A private charter bus rental is the MVP of game day transportation. We can drop your fan group off right near the stadium gates, allowing you to skip the long trek from the back of the parking lot. Your bus has plenty of storage space for tailgating gear, coolers, and sunscreen. After the game, your driver will meet you at a pre-arranged location to get you out of the traffic and on to your next destination, whether that’s dinner or back to your hotel.
Address: 7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258
Butterfly Wonderland
Located adjacent to the OdySea Aquarium at the Arizona Boardwalk, Butterfly Wonderland is America’s largest butterfly conservatory. Groups can walk through a lush rainforest environment surrounded by thousands of free-flying butterflies. It also features exhibits on honeybees, ant colonies, and aquatic life from the Amazon. It is a magical experience for nature lovers, seniors, and children alike, offering a peaceful and educational retreat.
Combining a visit to Butterfly Wonderland with the Aquarium or other Boardwalk attractions makes for a full day of fun. Charter Bus Scottsdale can help you coordinate a multi-stop itinerary if you plan to visit other spots in Scottsdale, or we can simply park and wait while you enjoy the Boardwalk. The drop-off zone is convenient and accessible, making it easy for groups with mobility challenges to enter the facility. With a private bus, you have a centralized hub for your group to leave heavy bags or purchases from the gift shop, keeping your hands free to snap photos of the beautiful Blue Morpho butterflies.
Address: 9500 E Via de Ventura F100, Scottsdale, AZ 85256

Frequently Asked Questions About Scottsdale Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Scottsdale?
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 total mileage. For example, rates may be higher during peak seasons like Spring Training (March) or major holidays. We offer transparent, personalized quotes tailored to your specific itinerary. To get an accurate price, give our team a call at 480-801-0444 with your trip details, and we will provide you with a free, no-obligation quote in minutes.
How far in advance should I book my bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and itinerary are finalized. For trips during busy seasons in Scottsdale, such as spring (for baseball and great weather) or fall, we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. However, we understand that plans can come up suddenly, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute booking requests whenever possible.
What type of bus is best for my group?
The best bus for you depends on your group size and needs. For small to medium groups (15-35 people) traveling short distances or needing shuttle services, a minibus or sprinter van is often the most economical and convenient choice. For larger groups (36-56 people) or long-distance travel, a full-size charter bus is ideal. Full-size coaches come equipped with undercarriage luggage storage, onboard restrooms, and reclining seats for maximum comfort. Our reservation team can help you choose the perfect vehicle based on your headcount and amenity requirements.
