Charter Bus Rentals in Kansas City, Missouri

Why Rent a Bus in Kansas City?

Kansas City is a car-heavy destination. Although public buses are available, there’s no train system. When you need to get around quickly, cars or charter buses will be your only option. So how do you know what type of transportation is best for your group? Here are a few pros and cons of each:

• Public transit: The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) offers affordable public buses. However, these buses may not go straight to and from the destinations you want to reach, and it can be difficult to navigate public transit with young children or large groups.
• Taxis and rideshares: Taxis and rideshares offer a convenient way to get straight from where you are to where you’re going, and with rideshares, you won’t even have to book ahead of time. However, taxis and rideshares can quickly become expensive, especially when you’re with a group.
• Charter buses: A charter bus can take you exactly where you want to go, and if you divide the cost among a large group, it could be more affordable than a taxi or rideshare. You’ll also receive a quote ahead of time, so you’ll know how much your transportation will cost before you leave for your trip.

Sporting Events in Kansas City

As the home of the Kansas City Royals and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, Kansas City has a long history of loving and supporting baseball. After you root, root, root for the home team at Kauffman Stadium, head to the museum to learn about amazing Black baseball players who often don’t get the credit they deserve.

Not a baseball person? Your group can cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs football team at Arrowhead Stadium. If you’re traveling with a group of athletes for a game or tournament, stash your bats, balls, racquets, or pads in the charter bus’s storage area and let your driver take you to the basketball and volleyball courts at Hy-Vee Arena.

Field Trips in Kansas City

Kansas City draws school groups from across the Midwest to see some of America’s most important museums, including the American Jazz Museum and the National World War I Museum and Memorial. A Smithsonian affiliate, the American Jazz Museum features exhibits on jazz legends like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Duke Ellington as well as performances by current jazz musicians and interactive “Jazz Storytelling” sessions for kids.

If you teach history, you won’t want to miss the National World War I Museum and Memorial. This museum has earned the designation of the United States’ official WWI museum because of the depth of its exhibits. You’ll find life-size trenches, tanks, and bomb craters as well as rotating exhibits on topics like women’s role in the war and how the war affected voting rights.
