Charter Bus Rentals in Lexington, Kentucky

Why Rent a Bus in Lexington?

Many people who visit Lexington find the best way to get around is by personal vehicle. But if you’re from out of town or traveling with a group that doesn’t want to drive, carpool, or put miles on their personal vehicles, here are some other options for traversing the city:

• Lextran—The city’s public bus system offers over 20 routes that radiate from the city center throughout the surrounding suburbs. Most Lextran rides cost about $1 per adult. While Lexington’s public transit system offers thorough services within city limits—especially on the University of Kentucky campus—if your itinerary takes you outside city limits, you’ll need to find alternative modes of transportation.
• Taxicabs and Rideshares—Lexington is also served by businesses like Uber and Lyft, as well as a dozen taxi companies. These are great for last-minute ride plans and small groups with loose itineraries, given that these at-call transport services can take you nearly anywhere a road can take you. However, these vehicles can only hold up to 6 people at a time (so larger groups will need to split up and call multiple cabs and rideshares), and you may need to wait around for a ride to become available during peak travel times.
• Private Lexington Bus Rentals—If you’re traveling with a medium- to large-sized group, the best way to keep everyone together and on a tight schedule is to rent a charter bus, minibus, or sprinter van. That way, a professional driver can handle all the navigation and parking details while your passengers enjoy amenities like WiFi, reclining seats, TVs with DVD players, and panoramic windows. Shofur offers transparent pricing and no-obligation free quotes, so while a bus rental may be more expensive than other modes of transport, there will be no surprise fees or budgeting guesswork leading up to your trip.
