Charter Bus Rentals in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Why Rent a Bus in Oklahoma City?

Most people in Oklahoma City rely on cars to get around. So if you’re flying in or traveling with many people who can’t drive, you’ll need to think carefully about your transportation options. Here are a few ways to travel throughout the city that don’t require anyone in your group to do the driving:

• EMBARK public transportation: Oklahoma City’s public transit system consists of buses, a ferry, and a newly constructed streetcar. The ferry and streetcar provide fun and affordable ways to get around Bricktown and the rest of downtown Oklahoma City. However, they’re not great for traveling outside the city center. The buses cover a wider range of territory, but they have limited operating hours and stops, so you’ll need to craft a very flexible itinerary. 
• Taxis and rideshares: Taxis and rideshares operate on your schedule and only serve your group. But most vehicles can hold 6 passengers at most, which means you’ll need to split up your group. Multiple rideshare or taxi rides in a day can also become expensive.
• Charter buses: Like taxis and rideshares, charter buses take your group where you want to go, when you want to go there. Unlike taxis and rideshares, a bus can hold your entire group, and you’ll pay for the rental up-front, so you don’t have to worry about unexpected fare increases. Charter buses also come with relaxing amenities like reclining seats, large windows, and even WiFi upon request.

Field Trips in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City is packed with history and natural beauty, which makes it a popular destination for field trips. At the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, your students can see 28,000 works of Western and American Indian art, including paintings, rodeo photographs, and beautifully designed saddles. The museum is also making a conscious effort to honor the people of the West who have been ignored by history, including women, Native Americans, African Americans, and Mexican immigrants. Sign your kids up for hands-on activities and hour-long guided tours designed to teach them about Oklahoma’s complex history.

Teaching science? Take your students to the Myriad Botanical Gardens, where they can participate in educational programs like Little Plants on the Prairie, Plants We Eat, and Rainforest Ecology. They can also play on the interactive exhibits in the Children’s Garden or take a tour and do a guided scavenger hunt inside the Crystal Bridge Conservatory, which has desert and rainforest environments.

Corporate Events in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City has one major convention center that’s already up and running, and another that’s expected to open at the end of 2020 or in early 2021. The existing complex, the Cox Convention Center, lies in the Bricktown historic district downtown and has a 25,000-foot ballroom, 100,000 square feet of exhibit halls, and free WiFi in designated zones.

The newly constructed Oklahoma City Convention Center will offer your corporate group even more space, with a 30,000-foot ballroom, 200,000 square feet of exhibit halls, and 27 additional meeting rooms. OKC Convention Center will also provide easy access to Scissortail Park, a great place to walk, bike, or grab a bite from a food truck in between meetings.

Weddings in Oklahoma City

If you’re planning a wedding in Oklahoma City, you may want to think about how to transport your guests from their hotel to your ceremony and reception sites. For example, Rose Briar Place, which has a beautiful chapel, reception hall, courtyard, and garden, lies nearly 25 minutes outside of downtown OKC. Having transportation could make the difference between a stress-free wedding and spending all day on the phone giving directions.

Even if you get married at a venue in the heart of the city, like the historic Skirvin Hilton hotel, you can rent a bus to spare your wedding party from worrying about parking or finding a DD. After a night of dancing, your loved ones can lean back in reclining seats and kick off their shoes while a professional takes them back to their hotel.

Rose Briar Place

Address: 11900 N Council Rd, Oklahoma City, OK 73162

Charter bus parking: Rose Briar Place has on-site parking for your bus.

The Skirvin Hilton Oklahoma City

Address: 1 Park Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102

Charter bus parking: The Skirvin has a parking garage, but if your bus won’t fit, your driver can park in nearby paid lots or search for street parking.

Sporting Events in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma takes great pride in its NBA team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. If you’re a fan, you can get your group of friends or youth sports team together on a charter bus and have your driver drop you off at Chesapeake Energy Arena. You can also cheer on OKC Energy FC at Taft Stadium or the Oklahoma City Dodgers at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Taft Stadium also frequently hosts high school teams. If you’re bringing your students to compete in a game or tournament, a full-size charter bus offers plenty of undercarriage storage space for balls, bats, racquets, pads, and sports drinks. Let your athletes toss their gear under the bus and watch a movie on the onboard TVs while you head to OKC.

Chesapeake Energy Arena

Address: 100 W Reno Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102

Charter bus parking: The arena uses the Cox Convention Center parking garage, but since it is a garage, your bus may need to opt for street parking along Sheridan Avenue.

Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark

Address: 2 S Mickey Mantle Dr, Oklahoma City, OK 73104

Charter bus parking: The ballpark doesn’t have its own parking, so your bus will need to use street parking or paid lots.

Taft Stadium

Address: 2501 N May Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73107

Charter bus parking: Your bus will need a parking pass to park at Taft Stadium or NW Classen High School, and you’ll need to either go through the OKC Energy FC website or work with the event you’re attending to obtain one. You can also park at NW Baptist Church or Cornerstone United Methodist Church for a fee.
