Charter Bus Rentals in Mobile, Alabama

Why Book a Charter Bus Rental in Mobile?

If your travel group is tired of rushing to catch public transport, organizing caravans, or hailing multiple rideshare services—a private bus rental may be the best option for you! Shofur bus rentals can accommodate travel groups of any size for every type of occasion. From minibuses for business meetings at the Mobile Convention Center to full-sized charter buses for field trips at the Exploreum Science Center, our services can perfectly fit your needs. However, we understand that a charter bus rental isn’t always the first choice for some groups, so check out the different ways you can travel around Mobile:

●      The Wave Transit System: Mobile’s public transit system offers bus routes across the city starting at $1.25 a ride. Taking the bus is a cost-efficient way to travel around Mobile for solo travelers and small groups, but finding seats can be tough for big groups. You’re not guaranteed to have enough space on board for your entire group, and the bus system isn’t always the most timely option.

●      Uber, Lyft, and Taxi Services: While rideshares are a popular way to travel and taxis are a classic option around town, they aren’t always best suited for large groups. Both services are convenient in that you can hail a taxi or rideshare at any point during your trip. Most of these services can only fit around 6 passengers per vehicle, though, and you’ll need to hail more than one vehicle.

●      Charter Bus Rentals: Booking a charter bus in Mobile doesn’t mean you’ll have to rent a massive vehicle with more seats than you need. When you work with Shofur, you can choose a bus rental that fits your group size and needs. The minibuses and charter buses in our network can be equipped with TVs with DVD players, reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets for optimal comfort. Your group will also be riding according to your specific itinerary, and you’ll have a pro driver to keep you traveling on-time.

Wedding Shuttles in Mobile

Is your waterfront Mobile wedding just around the corner? Don’t forget about your guest transportation! Renting a wedding shuttle can take stress off of both your plate and your guests’ shoulders. Parking in Downtown Mobile can be a pain, so if your service is at the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel or Ezell House, you may want to opt for a wedding shuttle bus rental.

A Shofur bus rental will ensure your guests arrive at your ceremony with plenty of time to spare instead of circling the block looking for overflow parking. Even if you need a minibus rental for your bachelorette or bachelorette party around downtown, you can count on us. Your entire party group will have a built-in DD after a night at VEETS and Callaghan's Irish Social Club.

Travel to Sporting Events Across Alabama

If you’re tired of making back-and-forth phone calls trying to find your friends at packed sports stadiums, consider traveling together in a private bus rental! Crimson Tide football fans traveling to Tuscaloosa won’t have to struggle to find their group in busy parking lots at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Rent a charter bus, load it up with your tailgating gear, and ride out to Tuscaloosa with everyone in one spacious vehicle. Traveling to New Orleans or Atlanta for a pro game instead? Leave the roads to your driver and focus on preparing for a big Saints or Falcons game.

Shofur can also easily cover transportation for sports teams as well. Book a bus rental for your high school or community team’s next away game. A full-sized charter bus rental has all the space you need for your players to relax and for you to easily fit all of your gear.

Efficient Business Shuttles in Mobile

Our bus rental services can be used for a variety of corporate occasions across the city. Don’t sweat employees arriving late to an event or having to reimburse your entire team for parking.

Rent a Bus to Mobile Mardi Gras

Did you know that Mobile is home to the oldest Mardi Gras celebration in the country? Mardi Gras in Mobile attracted over one million visitors in 2020 and is one of the biggest celebrations in the country. With so many people on the roads, traveling between locations in Mobile can be tough for big groups. Public buses are packed, rideshares usually hit surge rates, and seasonal tour buses likely won’t have seats either. To avoid all this hassle, reserve a private bus rental for your party group. Forget about waiting around for a ride and having to figure out how your big group will make it back home or to your hotel. With a Shofur bus rental, you’ll have a dedicated driver and bus for every moment of your trip.

Charter bus rental parking tip: When you reserve your group’s hotel for Mardi Gras, you’ll want to make sure you also reserve a room for your driver and overnight parking for your bus.
