Charter Bus Rentals in Pensacola, Florida

Why Rent a Bus in Pensacola?

For most lone travelers and small groups, the best way to get around Pensacola is with personal vehicles or cars. But when you’re traversing the city with more than six people in tow, things can get complicated. Especially if you’re here to rest and relax, the last thing your group will want to do is hunt for multiple parking spots along the beach, bicker over who drives, and navigate unfamiliar streets with a bunch of out-of-towners.

So if cars aren’t the best option for your group, what is? Here are some other transportation options to consider for your Pensacola group trip:

●      Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT): Pensacola’s bus transit system covers most of downtown and many of the surrounding suburbs with ADA-accessible vehicles. The base fare of $1.75 is being waived throughout the duration of the COVID-19, which makes these lines an affordable option for smaller groups and locals familiar with the routes. However, if you’re traveling with a large group, many children, or out-of-towners, navigating this sprawling transit system can be a hassle. To avoid getting lost or left behind at a transfer, consider another mode of transport.

●      Rideshares and Taxicabs: As far as spur-of-the-moment transportation needs go, hailing a taxi, Uber, or Lyft can be convenient. But assembling enough vehicles to accommodate a large group can be difficult, and surge rates can dramatically drive up your travel expenses if you’re in need of a ride after a convention or during peak beach-going seasons.

●      Private Bus Rental: If you’re traveling with a large group and want to set your own schedule, a private coach bus rental from Shofur is your best option. When you call and book through our 24/7 reservation team, you’ll have your pick of the charter buses and minibus shuttles in our network to transport all your passengers all in one vehicle. Our team will handle the logistics—all you’ll need to do is tell us where and when you want your bus to go, then sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! Don’t believe us?

Pensacola’s Most Popular Destinations

If you need help building your Pensacola itinerary, we know some group-friendly destinations your passengers are sure to love:

National Naval Aviation Museum

Great for: field trips, aircraft enthusiasts, and maritime history buffs

Got a group of kids who like airplanes? Or even adults who are avid history buffs? This is their stop. With more than 150 restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard technology, there’s no better place in the U.S. to learn about naval aviation than this bayside former air station. It takes at least two hours to explore this 350,000-square-foot hangar complex, so bring some good walking shoes if you plan to explore the evolution of military aircraft across the decades. Oh, and touring this museum and parking here is completely free!

Bus Parking Address: 1750 Radford Blvd, Pensacola, FL 32508

Fort Pickens State Park Aquatic Reserve

Great for: scout troops, beach campers, and picnics with your choir or youth group

When you think of Pensacola beaches, the soft shores and calm waters of this state park are probably the images that come to mind. Fort Pickens is known as the main coastline and beach recreation area in Pensacola, which means there’s no shortage of outdoor recreation activities to enjoy here—from camping on the beach to kayaking out into the bay.

But beyond soft white sands and outdoor adventure opportunities, this place is steeped in history. As the name would suggest, this state park is home to an 1830s military stronghold: Fort Pickens. Whether your group opts for a ranger-led tour of the main battlements or would prefer exploring the sites on your own, be sure to stop by the 9 batteries scattered across the park to learn more about the fort’s role along the Union front of the Civil War.

Bus Parking Address: 1400 Fort Pickens Rd, Pensacola Beach, FL 32561
