Peoria Charter Bus Service: Want to Travel Illinois in Total Comfort? Shofur Can Help
Shofur makes bus reservations simple, easy, and completely hassle-free. The next time you and a medium or large sized group is in Peoria, we'd love to help set you up with a charter bus. Whether you're exploring the city itself or coming from Chicago or Aurora, our buses have enough leg room for you and your entire family, group of friends, or business associates - and not only are our luxurious buses clean and spacious, each one is maintained by highly trained mechanics to ensure that you have the most reliable experience possible. There's plenty to do in the heart of Illinois, so let us help you explore this great city.
See How It's Built at the Caterpillar Visitors Center
For the perfect introduction to Peoria, we highly recommend stopping by the Caterpillar Visitor Center. Yes, it's that Caterpillar - the one known for all of the big heavy machinery, much of which was responsible for building this city. Seeing how these machines are manufactured and how they operate is a remarkable experience for both the young and old passengers on your Shofur bus. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find that it's not all about big machinery at the Caterpillar Visitor Center - visitors can expect a full education on soil mechanics, engineering, and the history of these great building machines.
Catch a Game at Dozer Park
In keeping with the industrial spirit of the Caterpillar Visitor's Center, get a taste of Illinois' other favorite pastime at Dozer Park - which has been described by visitors as "Baseball Heaven" and was named after Caterpillar's heavy machinery. Conveniently located in Central Peoria and with plenty of bus parking, this is the premiere destination in the city to catch a ball game. Dozer Park is of course the home of the Chiefs, and you may also be able to catch a St. Louis Caridnals game here as well. Open since 2002, it's considered one of the best stadiums in the state.
With clean and well kept stands fully staffed by plenty of food vendors, you'll be able to enjoy a baseball game the way it was meant to be enjoyed: with a hot dog or a bag of peanuts. Look out for some truly stunning fireworks at night - this is sure to please any ball fan on your bus.
See Real Giants at the Giant Oak Park
Just off of Main Street and near Bradley University, you'll find one of the most stunning parks in the state: Giant Oak Park. This park is appropriately named because of the many stunning oak trees that dot its well maintained grounds - and they are absolutely huge. There's one particularly old tree to see - the one for which the park was named - which has branches that seem endless as they dip onto the grass. This is sure to delight anyone who can appreciate nature in the heart of the city. If you or any of your travel companions like taking a nice stroll through the shade of old (dare we say ancient) trees, this is the place to do it - and there's plenty of convenient bus parking as well.
Historical Attractions and Landmarks
This city is the perfect destination for a weekend historical tour - and there's no better way to transport yourself and all of your companions than on one of Shofur's delightfully comfortable and spacious charter buses. We recommend you start at the John C. Flanagan House Museum, which is a remarkably well maintained structure given its age - it was originally erected in 1837 and is the oldest building in the city. Tours are available daily - you can also reserve the house to host an elegant dinner or meeting.
Of course, no historical tour of the city (or Illinois as a whole for that matter) would be complete without a trip down Grandview Drive. It's a two and a half mile road, but you won't want to drive down it without stopping your bus at least once or twice to enjoy the several scenic parks, viewing areas, and historical homes along the way. It's such a well known area that it was even called the "world's most beautiful drive" by President Theodore Roosevelt - now that's a great place to drive your bus.
For the best possible bus rental experience in Peoria, we welcome you to call one of our experienced, polite agents here at Shofur. We're available day or night, seven days a week, and we'd like nothing more than to help set you and your travel companions up with the best bus for your specific needs. There's so much to see here in the heart of Illinois - whether you're here for a fun family trip or need to transport your employees to a business function, Shofur is here to help.

The answer is: it depends. When you call one of our 24/7 reservation specialists with your trip details, they will build a quote for you based on a few factors, including how far you'll be traveling, which bus you rent, how many hours or days you will need the rental, and where and when you will be picked up. Depending on your trip itinerary, your rental cost will be broken down by hour, day, or mile.
You can learn more on our charter bus pricing page, and your reservation specialist will be happy to break down pricing further when you call.
Our network offers full-size charter buses, minibus rentals, and sprinter vans. Full-size charter bus rentals are great for larger groups or longer distance trips and can accommodate up to 56 passengers, while minibus rentals work well for medium-sized groups of 12 to 25 passengers. Groups even smaller than that can rent a sprinter van, which comfortably accommodates up to 12 people.
