Wichita Bus Rentals

Why Rent a Bus in Wichita?

Small groups of travelers will find a few convenient transportation options around Wichita. Though, if you’re traveling with a large group, exploring different transportation options may be more limited. As you plan your group trip or event in Wichita, consider these ways to get around town:

• Wichita Transit: Wichita Transit is the city’s public transportation system, operating buses and ADA-accessible vans along 17 routes. The city also operates the free Q-Line trolley that travels along one route through Downtown Wichita. Taking public transport can be affordable, with paid fares starting at $1.75, but routes can be limited and may not be a timely option for groups traveling on a tight schedule.
• Rideshares and taxis: Uber, Lyft, smaller rideshares companies, and local taxis are available throughout Wichita. Hailing rideshare can be quick and easy for small groups but if you have more than 3 or 4 travelers, you’ll need to request an extra-large vehicle or multiple cars. This might be inconvenient and expensive, depending on your group size and travel schedule.
• Wichita charter bus rental: A minibus or charter bus rental offers a personal transportation option tailored to your group’s size and itinerary. Bus rentals can include amenities like WiFi, plush seats, and personal climate controls for comfortable travel wherever you’re headed in Wichita. Though a charter bus rental may have a high seemingly high upfront cost, it can oftentimes be cost-effective for large groups.

Address: 300 N McLean Blvd, Wichita, KS 67203

Phone: (316) 660-0600

Exploration Place is Wichita’s premier science museum and a top spot for educational groups or families traveling with kids. Although the museum is perfect for kids, adults will still find themselves learning new things through interactive exhibits.

The Keeper of the Plains

This famed 44-foot statue was created by Comanche/Kiowa artist Blackbear Bosin and is located in Veterans Memorial Park. The COR-TEN steel statue stands atop an elevated rock pedestal where the Big and Little Arkansas rivers meet. Keeper of the Plains stands as a tribute to Kansas’ Native American community. We highly recommend visiting the park and seeing the sculpture in the evening when it's illuminated by fire drums at the base.
