Why Rent a Charter Bus in McAllen?

Planning a large-scale event in McAllen can be a large task, so you’ll want to have the group transportation taken care of. Shofur can help groups of all sizes travel around McAllen, although there are a few other options. Here are a few ways to travel around McAllen: 

  • Metro McAllen: Metro McAllen provides Hidalgo County, Texas with public transportation, including 8 local bus routes around the city. Fare is affordable at $1 per ride. This can be a cost-effective option for solo travelers or large groups traveling on a limited budget. However, if you’re traveling on a tight schedule, need to travel outside of these limited routes, or have a large group—Metro McAllen may not be for you. Keep in mind metro McAllen does not run on holidays like Easter Sunday and Christmas Day.
  • Local taxis: McAllen has over a dozen local taxi companies that can provide convenient services for group travel. Most of these taxi companies service McAllen International Airport and areas throughout the city. Groups with more than 5 people may find it tedious and expensive to request more than one taxi.
  • Rideshare services: Ridehsares like Uber and Lyft make it easier to request oversized vehicles or multiple rides for large groups of travelers. They're also convenient when you need a private ride traveling on your schedule. If you’re traveling to multiple stops in McAllen with a large group, taking rideshares can get expensive and may be unreliable with requesting several vehicles.
  • McAllen bus rentals: Shofur works with Texas bus companies to offer a diverse fleet of McAllen bus rentals to serve groups of all sizes. Your group will have a ride outfitted to your group size, with a driver traveling on your unique schedule. A private bus rental will have plenty of space for luggage, while also having amenities like personal climate controls and WiFi, by request. Although bus rentals may seem expensive, it can be a  cost-effective option per person and you’ll have transparent charter bus pricing with Shofur.
