Why Rent a Bus in El Paso?

El Paso is not as crowded as most other major cities in Texas. However, while traveling within city limits is a piece of cake, the city is quite far away from other attractions and major cities—so if you need a lift into or out of the city, you’ll need a ride that can keep you comfortable for the long haul. Out of all the ways to traverse El Paso, a private bus rental is the most flexible option when it comes to where you can go and how long it will take to get there.

But if you’d like to consider all your options when it comes to getting around El Paso, here are some popular modes of transportation:

●      Sun Metro: Affordable and environmentally friendly, El Paso’s public bus system can be helpful for smaller traveling groups. However, the public transit system here offers fairly limited routes. If your group needs transport beyond the downtown area, you’ll need to consider other options.

●      Taxis and Rideshares: El Paso is home to a number of companies that provide taxicab services, as well as Uber services. However, hailing multiple vehicles to accommodate medium- to large-size groups can run up your travel expenses and jam up your schedule—especially during a convention or event where surge rates and wait times are sure to spike.

●      Private Bus Rental: When you rent a bus service through Shofur, you’ll have total control over when and where your ride takes you. From compact minibus shuttles to long-distance charter bus rentals, we can pair you with the ideal motorcoach for your group’s size and amenity needs, so everyone can arrive all together and comfortably to every destination on your itinerary.

Whether you have your heart set on an intimate downtown ceremony at Historic Magoffin Hall or want to get hitched on a scenic ranch outside city limits, the Shofur team can connect you with the perfect bus rental for your big day.

Even if your reception and ceremony are on opposite sides of town, we’ll arrange a personalized route plan to make it all run like clockwork. No more stressing over tardy guests, overcrowded parking lots, and DD coordination. Just let a professional driver take the wheel and rest easy knowing your friends, family, and loved ones will have a reliable shuttle all night long!

Be sure to ask your representative about the premium amenities that can be included in your rental—your guests will surely appreciate posting their favorite photos over free WiFi, freshening up in a private onboard restroom, jamming to a party playlist over a state-of-the-art entertainment system, or simply kicking up their heels after a night of dancing.

Not sure where to start? Here are a few popular destinations we recommend:

El Paso Zoo

Great for: family reunion excursions, field trips, and private tour groups

These 35 acres are home to 220 species from across Asia, Africa, and the Americas—making it the perfect destination for animal lovers of all ages.

After your group has said hi to the giraffes, elephants, and tigers, your little ones can cool off and stomp around at the splash pad or take their adventure to thrilling heights at the Copper Canyon ropes course! Don’t worry about carrying around a change of clothes or snacks for everyone—your driver can look after the personal belongings you leave on your bus rental while you explore the zoo.

With scenic desert mountain views, 100 miles of hiking and biking trails, and tons of thrilling spots for rock climbing, Franklin Mountains State Park is the perfect getaway—all just a 20-minute drive from downtown.

The best way to enjoy the great outdoors with a group? Rent a bus service! There’s room for coolers and a picnic lunch undermost full-size motorcoaches, and after your excursion, your group can appreciate the comfort of a climate-controlled cabin as your driver whisks you away to your next destination.

El Paso Museum of Art

Great for: field trips, private tour groups, senior citizens, art enthusiasts

There’s a lot of history and culture in El Paso, and a great way to soak it all in is through the art showcased in this museum. There are five galleries for visitors to wander through, with installations ranging from pre-Columbian pottery to turn-of-the-century Mexican photography to modern abstract works.

The museum boasts full accessibility to all visitors, with wheelchairs and mobility aids available upon request, supplementary materials for the blind, deaf, and hard of hearing, and tours available in a variety of languages. Also, admission is always free!

Parking near this downtown museum can be tricky if you plan to arrive in personal vehicles, but your group can skip the multiple parking fees by allowing a private bus rental to drop you off right at the entrance. Your bus driver can handle the parking logistics while you explore the best of El Paso’s art scene!
