Charter Bus Rentals in St Louis, Missouri

Why Rent a Bus in St. Louis?

If you have access to a car, you’ll find that driving is one of the best ways to get around Saint Louis. For one thing, parking around town can be relatively cheap. What’s more, while the city of St. Louis is rather compact, the area around it is a sprawling connection of smaller cities, neighborhoods, and attractions that’s easiest to get to by a personal vehicle.

But what if you can’t drive? What if you’re flying into St. Louis Lambert International Airport and don’t want to bother with rental cars? What if you’re traveling with a large group and don’t want to volunteer your coworkers, family, friends, or students to carpool and put miles on their cars?

Here are your other transportation options in STL, and the pros and cons of each:

• St. Louis MetroLink: The city’s light rail system only consists of two links, but many tourists and commuters alike find these trains to be efficient and easy to navigate. Passengers have their choice of two-hour and all-day passes for unlimited rides, ranging from $1.50 to $7.50 per person. The downside? While both the Red and Blue lines make stops near attractions like the Gateway Arch, the Saint Louis Science Center, and Busch Stadium, they do not reach many of the popular neighborhoods and districts outside the downtown area.
• St. Louis MetroBus: With over 70 routes and a $1-2 fare for most riders, Saint Louis’s public bus system is affordable and can take you nearly anywhere you need to go within city limits. However, service is limited on the farthest edges of town, and navigating such a complex route system with out-of-towners, minors, or people with disabilities can be tedious and difficult.
• Taxis and Rideshare Services: Besides public transport, St. Louis is also served by dozens of taxi companies, as well as Uber and Lyft. Your fare will vary depending on the time of year and what events are happening in the city, which can be frustrating when trying to budget your transportation expenses for a large group. Also, most of these vehicles can only hold 4 to 6 passengers at a time, so larger groups will need to hail multiple rides.
• Private St. Louis Bus Rental: Whether your group would be served by a 12-passenger sprinter van, a 20-passenger minibus, or a spacious 56-passenger charter bus, the Shofur team can find you just the ride you need. We offer transparent pricing, so you’ll never need to guess when it comes to budgeting your transportation costs. Not only will your bus rental operate on your schedule and route plan—no cookie-cutter itineraries here!—every passenger will enjoy the journey with the onboard amenities you request. From free WiFi to comfy and plush reclining seats, flatscreen TVs with a DVD player or mobile executive suites with tinted windows—just say the word when you call 1-800-436-8719, and we’ll connect you with all the small comforts your group needs.
