A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration
The Legacy Museum (450 N Court St, Montgomery, AL 36104) is a cornerstone of any Montgomery educational tour, located on the site of a former warehouse where enslaved people were held. This 40,000-square-foot space is a high-traffic destination, especially for school groups and heritage tours. For those arriving in a 56-passenger motorcoach, be aware that the museum is located in a busy downtown area near the riverfront. Buses should utilize the designated loading zone on North Court Street for immediate drop-offs. Because the museum does not have on-site oversized parking, your driver will stage the bus at the nearby Montgomery Intermodal Center or designated street parking on Coosa Street. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We recommend booking your shuttle at least 30 minutes before your timed entry to account for downtown signal patterns and potential delays on Maxwell Boulevard.
National Memorial for Peace and Justice
Set on six acres overlooking the city, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice (417 Caroline St, Montgomery, AL 36104) is the nation’s first memorial dedicated to the legacy of enslaved Black people and those terrorized by lynching. Getting a full-size charter bus to this hilltop location requires a driver who knows how to navigate the residential-leaning streets of the Cottage Hill neighborhood. The primary entrance for groups is on Caroline Street. Buses must unload passengers at the designated curb-side drop-off point before heading to off-site parking, as there is no bus-length parking allowed on the memorial grounds. The site is open Wednesday–Sunday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For groups traveling between here and the Legacy Museum (about a mile away), a dedicated 35-passenger minibus shuttle is the most efficient way to keep your party together without the 20-minute uphill walk in the Alabama humidity.
Montgomery Zoo & Mann Wildlife Learning Museum
The Montgomery Zoo (2301 Coliseum Pkwy, Montgomery, AL 36110) hosts over 500 animals and is a major draw for field trips from across the state. Located just off Northern Blvd/US-231, the zoo offers ample space for high-occupancy vehicles. Unlike downtown venues, the zoo features a massive dedicated parking lot where your school bus or 56-passenger motorcoach can park for free. Drivers should enter via the main Coliseum Parkway gate and follow signs for "Bus Parking" located to the right of the main ticketing entrance. The zoo is open daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Groups arriving in the spring should prepare for heavy traffic from local Title I schools; we suggest an 8:45 AM arrival to be the first in line for the Zoofari Skylift. Our buses offer climate control and reclining seats, providing a vital "cool-down" zone for students after a long afternoon in the sun.
Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium
Home to the Montgomery Biscuits (the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays), Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium (200 Coosa St, Montgomery, AL 36104) is an award-winning minor league park built inside a century-old railway shed. For game days, traffic on Coosa and Tallapoosa Streets becomes a bottleneck. Your bus driver will navigate the designated commercial drop-off area on Coosa Street, directly in front of the main gate, ensuring your fans don't have to hike from the crowded parking decks. Oversized vehicle parking is generally directed to the gravel lots near the Alabama River, specifically Lot 4 near the train tracks. Pro tip: If you're bringing a 30-passenger party bus for a corporate outing or bachelor party, request a bus with a PA system so you can rally the troops with "Butter and Biscuits" cheers before you even hit the gate. Gates typically open one hour before the first pitch.
Rosa Parks Museum at Troy University
Located on the site of the former Empire Theatre where Mrs. Parks was arrested, the Rosa Parks Museum (252 Montgomery St, Montgomery, AL 36104) is a must-visit for civil rights history. Because this is a university-affiliated site in the heart of the city center, street parking is non-existent for buses. Drivers should utilize the dedicated bus loading zone on Montgomery Street, located between Molton and Lee Streets. From there, the bus will need to move to the city’s designated bus parking area near the Montgomery Convention Center. The museum is open Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Saturday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. For groups using a 15-passenger Sprinter van, we can often utilize the smaller parking lots on the Troy University Montgomery campus with prior coordination, making it a faster "in and out" for smaller executive teams.
Alabama State Capitol & Civil Rights Memorial
The Alabama State Capitol (600 Dexter Ave, Montgomery, AL 36130) sits at the top of Dexter Avenue, the termination point of the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery march. This is a highly secure government area with strict traffic flow. Buses are not permitted to idle on Dexter Avenue. Your driver will drop your group at the North Bainbridge Street entrance for the Capitol tour, then loop around to the Civil Rights Memorial (400 Washington Ave) just a block away. This "triangle" of history—the Capitol, the Memorial, and the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church—is best served by a shuttle that remains on-call. We recommend staging the bus at the dedicated stalls on Washington Avenue when available. Note that the Capitol is closed on Sundays and most state holidays; always check the legislative calendar to avoid heavy congestion when the Senate is in session.
The Alabama Shakespeare Festival
Located in the scenic 175-acre Blount Cultural Park, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival (1 Festival Dr, Montgomery, AL 36117) is one of the ten largest Shakespeare festivals in the world. This venue is a dream for motorcoach operators—plenty of wide, winding roads and a massive, dedicated bus loop for easy loading. Take the Vaughn Road exit off I-231 and follow the signs for Blount Park. Unlike the downtown venues, there are zero parking fees for buses here, and drivers can stay with the vehicle in the paved lot near the Carolyn Blount Theatre. If your group is attending a matinee, your driver can easily pivot to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, which shares the park grounds. Our 56-passenger coaches feature overhead storage for programs and souvenirs, plus onboard restrooms for the 20-minute drive back to downtown hotels.
Multiplex at Cramton Bowl
For sports tournaments, cheer competitions, or the Camellia Bowl, the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl (1037 Madison Ave, Montgomery, AL 36104) is Montgomery’s premier indoor athletic facility. During major events, the area around Madison Avenue and Hall Street is heavily managed by local PD. Your charter bus should enter via Gate 4 off Pelham Street for the most direct access to the Multiplex entrance. Bus parking is typically assigned to the north end of the Cramton Bowl parking lot. Avoid the congestion on Congress Street during peak event hours. Whether you’re transporting a high school basketball team in a 47-passenger school bus or a fan group in a 25-passenger minibus, we ensure your athletes are dropped off at the "front door" so they can begin their warm-ups without a long trek across the asphalt.

How much does a charter bus rental cost in Montgomery?

Where can buses park in downtown Montgomery?
Downtown Montgomery is compact, making oversized parking a challenge. Most venues require a "drop-and-go" approach. Buses typically stage at the Montgomery Intermodal Center (495 Molton St) or in designated street stalls on Washington Avenue and Coosa Street. The drivers are local who know exactly where to wait so they can return to your pick-up point within minutes of your call.
Do you offer transportation for the Selma-to-Montgomery trail?
Yes, we frequently provide 56-passenger charter buses for the 54-mile journey from Selma to Montgomery. We can coordinate pick-ups at the Edmund Pettus Bridge and drop-offs at the Alabama State Capitol. These trips often require reclining seats and onboard restrooms for comfort, and our team knows the exact stopping points along Highway 80 that can accommodate large coaches.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Absolutely! Many of our Montgomery bus rentals allow food and beverages, provided they are kept in containers. If you are planning a tailgate for a Montgomery Biscuits game or a long trip to Birmingham, just let us know. We simply ask that you help keep the cabin clean for the next group. For party buses, we can even provide vehicles with built-in coolers and ice chests.
Are your buses ADA-accessible?
We believe everyone should be able to experience Montgomery's history. We offer ADA-compliant 56-passenger motorcoaches and minibuses equipped with wheelchair lifts, widened aisles, and securement points. Please let our reservation team know at least 48 hours in advance if you require an ADA-accessible vehicle so we can ensure the perfect bus is ready for your group.
