Reno used to lay along America’s first coast-to-coast highways, and the brightly lit arch that bears the city’s name commemorated the completion of those highways. It’s probably not a surprise, then, that Reno is a car-heavy city. Although there are public buses, most people rely on taxis, rideshares, or private vehicles. Here are a few advantages and disadvantages to each transportation method:

Like Las Vegas, Reno draws large groups of corporate travelers attending trade shows, conferences, and seminars. Many of those events take place at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, which has 600,000 square feet of meeting space on a single level.
You’ll also find many corporate events inside Reno’s casinos. The Atlantis Casino Resort Spa boasts an entire floor of conference space as well as on-site rooms and dining, and Eldorado at the Row offers a ballroom, 3 boardrooms, and multiple breakout rooms along with hotel rooms and a casino.
Address: 4590 S Virginia St, Reno, NV 89502
Charter bus parking: The convention center has parking, but you’ll need to pay $10 per day.
Address: 3800 S Virginia St, Reno, NV 89502
Charter bus parking: Atlantis Casino has free parking for guests staying there, and you can even take the skybridge to the Reno-Sparks Convention Center if you’re attending events at both facilities.
Address: 345 N Virginia St, Reno, NV 89501
Charter bus parking: The Eldorado offers free on-site parking for guests.
Like Vegas, Reno has plenty of wedding chapels for quick ceremonies and elopements. But the city also has elegant venues for large-scale weddings that you’ve spent months planning. If you love history, you can hold your ceremony at The Elm Estate, an 1880s farmhouse on the Truckee River that offers views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This 300-person wedding space also comes with multiple bars and catering bays.
Looking for a more modern setting? Try The Club at ArrowCreek, a country club and golf course. You can have an outdoor ceremony on the greens accompanied by a reception in the Terrace Room, or you can take advantage of two brand-new event venues opening in 2021. Your charter bus rental will carry all of your guests from their hotel to the ceremony and back so you don’t have to worry about anyone getting lost or searching for a DD.
Address: 1401 W 2nd St, Reno, NV 89503
Charter bus parking: The Elm Estate provides on-site parking.
Address: 2905 Arrowcreek Pkwy, Reno, NV 89511
Charter bus parking: The Club at ArrowCreek has on-site parking for your wedding shuttle.
Reno’s most popular sports team is the Reno Aces, a minor league affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks who play at Greater Nevada Field. If you’d like to head out to the ballgame, you can book a comfortable, air-conditioned charter bus to drop your group of fans off at the stadium.
More into participating in sports than watching them? Thanks to its proximity to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Reno is a popular destination for skiing. If you don’t feel like driving up to Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, let your bus driver take care of navigating the roads to this more than 8,000-foot-high resort with 1,260 acres of ski trails.
Address: 250 Evans Ave, Reno, NV 89501
Charter bus parking: The baseball field does not have designated parking, so your bus will need to park in a paid public lot nearby.
Address: 22222 Mt Rose Hwy, Reno, NV 89511
Charter bus parking: The Main Lodge at the base of the resort has a parking lot where you can leave your bus.
Nevada has plenty of educational destinations for groups with kids, and the National Automobile Museum is one of the most popular. Located in the heart of the Reno Riverwalk District, this museum displays more than 200 cars that date back as far as the late 1800s. Let your students pose in a model car while wearing an old-fashioned duster and hat, or take them to see cars owned by celebrities like Andy Griffith, Sammy Davis Jr., Lana Turner, and Elvis Presley.
Outside of central Reno you’ll find the Animal Ark, a sanctuary for wildlife who were injured, orphaned, or raised in captivity. Your students will learn about how animals are cared for when they can’t return to the wild and meet cheetahs, lynx, raccoons, kit foxes, and bears. Typically guests walk along a one-mile granite and dirt trail to meet all of the animals, but if you have people in your group who aren’t able to walk that far, golf carts are available by request.
Address: 10 South Lake St, Reno, NV 89501
Charter bus parking: The Automobile Museum has a free parking lot on Museum Drive.
Address: 1265 Deerlodge Rd, Reno, NV 89508
Charter bus parking: The Animal Ark has a designated parking area for buses.
Every September, the world’s largest free hot-air balloon festival takes over the skies above Reno. The Great Reno Balloon Race lasts four days and typically features more than 100 balloons (including the famous Darth Vader balloon!) For a truly special experience, take your group to the festival in the early morning for the Dawn Patrol, where the balloons take off as the sun rises.
Because this festival draws around 12,000 spectators each year, it can be difficult to find parking. If you travel in a single charter bus, you won’t have to find parking for separate cars and your driver can drop you off before searching for a spot.
Address: San Rafael Regional Park, Rancho Connector, Reno, NV 89503
Charter bus parking: The Great Reno Balloon Race offers public parking for $20.
Whether you’re looking for casinos, skiing, or hot-air balloon festivals, you’ll find it all in Reno. Give Shofur a call at 1-800-436-8719 to book your transportation, and have an amazing time experiencing all that “The Biggest Little City” has to offer.

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.
