Tumbleweed Park & The Arizona Railway Museum

Located at 2250 S McQueen Rd, Chandler, AZ 85286, Tumbleweed Park is a massive 205-acre regional park that serves as a cornerstone for group events in Chandler. It is perhaps best known for Playtopia, a 2.5-acre playground that themed sections reflecting Chandler’s heritage. For groups of educators or families, this is a prime destination for outdoor activities and large-scale gatherings. Additionally, the park hosts the Arizona Railway Museum at 330 E Ryan Rd, Chandler, AZ 85286, a must-visit for history buffs and school field trips . This museum allows your group to walk through vintage rail cars and learn about the profound impact of the locomotive on the development of the Southwest.

Navigating a large motorcoach into Tumbleweed Park is a breeze when you work with Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler. We recommend using the McQueen Road entrance for easier bus access. There are designated oversized vehicle parking areas near the Tumbleweed Recreation Center and the Railway Museum, ensuring your driver has a safe place to stage the vehicle while your group explores. If you are visiting for the annual Tumbleweed Tree lighting during the holidays, traffic along McQueen and Germann Roads can become quite heavy. Booking a private charter bus allows your group to bypass the stress of finding multiple parking spots in crowded dirt lots. Your driver will drop you off curbside and be ready at a moment’s notice to pick you up once the festivities conclude. With a private bus, you can keep everyone together and even enjoy the ride back in a climate-controlled cabin while the rest of the crowd waits for rideshares.

Chandler Fashion Center

Chandler Fashion Center, located at 3111 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226 is the second-largest shopping mall in the Phoenix metropolitan area. For private tour groups, convention attendees, or youth groups, this is the ultimate destination for retail therapy and entertainment. With over 180 stores and a massive food court, it’s a great "hub" stop for multi-day itineraries. The mall area also features an outdoor "Village" with a splash pad and fine dining options like The Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Chang's, which are excellent for large group dinner reservations.

When bringing a 56-passenger charter bus to the mall, logistics are key. We typically coordinate drop-offs at the main entrance between the Harkins Theatres and the Food Court for maximum convenience. This allows your passengers to exit the vehicle and immediately enter the climate-controlled building. For parking, the drivers utilize the perimeter lots near the West Chandler Boulevard and North Frye Road entrances, where there is ample space for oversized vehicles to stage without obstructing traffic. If your group is in town for a conference and needs a mid-day shopping break, or if you're a travel agent looking for a reliable lunch stop, our team will ensure your arrivals and departures are timed perfectly. We’ve been moving shoppers around Chandler since 2011, and we know exactly how to navigate the busy Loop 101 and Loop 202 interchanges that lead directly to the mall’s parking corridors.

Chandler Museum

For a cultural experience that highlights the rich history of our city, the Chandler Museum at 300 S Chandler Village Dr, Chandler, AZ 85226 is an essential stop. This modern facility offers rotating exhibits that explore the community's agricultural roots, the impact of the high-tech industry, and the stories of the people who shaped the East Valley. The museum campus includes the historic McCulloch-Price House, which provides a beautiful backdrop for photos and group tours. It is located just across from the Chandler Fashion Center, making it easy to combine these two stops into one afternoon.

Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler frequently transports school groups and senior organizations to the museum for educational tours. Because the museum is situated in a high-traffic area near the mall, your drivers take care to navigate the specialized entrance on Chandler Village Drive. Bus drop-off is conveniently located right in front of the main courtyard. While your group is inside exploring the "Chandler A-Z" exhibit, your driver can park in the shared oversized lots nearby. For larger events or museum fundraisers, we can even provide a recurring shuttle service between the museum and overflow parking or local hotels like the Hilton Phoenix Chandler. Choosing a professional bus service ensures that your group doesn't have to wander through a busy mall parking lot to find the entrance. We handle the "last mile" logistics so you can focus on the history and art.

San Marcos Golf Course & Historic Downtown

The San Marcos Golf Course, located at 1 San Marcos Dr, Chandler, AZ 85225 is a historic landmark established in 1913. As the first grass golf course in Arizona, it remains a favorite for corporate retreats, bachelor parties, and wedding receptions. The adjacent Crowne Plaza Phoenix-Chandler Golf Resort is a major destination for conferences. Just steps away is Historic Downtown Chandler, a vibrant district filled with local boutiques, art galleries, and the Chandler Center for the Arts. Groups love walking along the colonnades and enjoying the public art murals that decorate the area.

Transporting a group into the heart of Downtown Chandler can be challenging due to the narrow streets and limited street parking around San Marcos Plaza. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler has over a decade of experience navigating this specific area. For events at the golf course or the hotel, the drivers utilize the designated loading zone on San Marcos Place. If your group is heading to a show at the Chandler Center for the Arts, we coordinate drop-offs near the Arizona Avenue entrance. We often provide "built-in DD" services for groups planning to explore the downtown craft beer scene, including local favorites like SanTan Brewing Company. Instead of splitting your group into multiple rideshares and worrying about who is driving, everyone can hop aboard their private party bus or minibus and travel together safely. We’ll be there for late-night pickups to ensure everyone gets back to their hotel or home without a hitch.

Rawhide Western Town & Event Center

If you want to experience the "True West," Rawhide Western Town & Event Center at 5700 W North Loop Rd, Chandler, AZ 85226 is the place to be. Located on the Gila River Indian Community, this destination offers a massive 1880s-themed Western town complete with stunt shows, stagecoach rides, and a steakhouse. It is one of the premier venues in the state for large-scale corporate events, festivals, and weddings. From the annual "Decadence" music festival to small company cookouts, Rawhide can accommodate thousands of people at once.

Because Rawhide is located slightly outside the city center, reliable transportation is vital. The road leading to Rawhide, North Loop Road, can experience major backups during large concerts or holiday events. By booking with Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler, your group can relax in reclining seats and enjoy the onboard WiFi while we handle the stop-and-go traffic. We work closely with Rawhide’s event staff to access the designated bus parking lots, which are much closer to the entrance than general parking. This is a massive benefit for corporate groups or wedding parties where timing is critical. Our fleet has been serving Rawhide since 2011, and we understand the unique layout of their dirt lots and staging areas. Whether you need an airport transfer from Sky Harbor for your out-of-town guests or a late-night shuttle back to Chandler hotels, we ensure your Western adventure starts and ends on a high note.

Ocotillo Golf Club

Ocotillo Golf Club, situated at 3751 S Clubhouse Dr, Chandler, AZ 85248 is a stunning luxury destination featuring 27 holes of championship golf. Known for its lush greenery and extensive water features (a rarity in the desert!), it is a top choice for upscale weddings, high-profile business meetings, and professional golf outings. The clubhouse and Bernard’s at Ocotillo offer sophisticated event spaces that require a professional touch for transportation.

For groups traveling to Ocotillo, Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler provides executive-style minibus and charter bus rentals . If you are planning a golf trip, our full-size motorcoaches offer massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for stowing golf bags, coolers, and equipment cases. This keeps the cabin clutter-free and comfortable for your passengers. When we arrive at Ocotillo, your driver will pull directly into the circular drive at the clubhouse for a VIP-style drop-off. For weddings at the Ocotillo pavilion, we can run continuous shuttle loops between the venue and nearby resorts like the Holiday Inn Ocotillo or the Marriott. The drivers are familiar with the residential nature of the Ocotillo neighborhood and adhere to all local noise and traffic regulations, ensuring a discrete and professional service. Let us handle the navigation through the beautiful winding roads of South Chandler while you and your guests take in the scenery.

Bear Creek Golf Complex

Bear Creek Golf Complex at 3223 S Gilbert Rd, Chandler, AZ 85286 is a versatile 36-hole facility that offers both a traditional Bear Course and a shorter Cub Course. This makes it an ideal destination for groups with varying skill levels—perfect for youth sports leagues, alumni associations, or community clubs. Bear Creek also features a large practice facility and an outdoor event space that is frequently used for charity tournaments and family reunions.

Booking a sports team bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler for your Bear Creek outing is a slam dunk. We understand that sports groups often have a lot of gear and a tight schedule. Our 24/7 team will work with your itinerary to ensure you arrive with plenty of time for warm-ups. For parking, Bear Creek has a large lot with designated spaces that can accommodate motorcoaches near the Gilbert Road entrance. We often provide transportation for teams coming from Gilbert, Mesa, or even Tucson for regional competitions. With features like power outlets and TV screens, your players can review their game plan or watch highlights on the way to the course. If you’re planning a post-tournament celebration at the onsite bar and grill, your driver will be your designated chauffeur, allowing everyone to enjoy the day to the fullest. Since 2011, we've helped thousands of sports groups find the perfect bus for their budget and needs.

For groups looking for high-energy entertainment, Gila River Resorts & Casino - Wild Horse Pass at 5040 Wild Horse Pass Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226 is the ultimate stop. This destination features a massive gaming floor, luxury hotel rooms, world-class dining, and a top-tier concert venue that hosts global icons. It is also home to the Phoenix Premium Outlets and the Whirlwind Golf Club. Whether your group is planning a casino night, a shopping spree, or attending a headlining show, this resort has everything in one place.

Because the Wild Horse Pass area is such a major commercial hub, traffic on I-10 and Wild Horse Pass Boulevard can be a nightmare during peak hours and event nights. Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler is the #1 provider for casino shuttles in the region. We offer private charter bus rentals that drop your group off right at the main valet entrance or the bus-specific loading zones near the casino entrance. This saves your guests from a long walk through the massive parking garages. If you are organizing a corporate retreat or a convention, we can manage a fleet of buses to move hundreds of people between the resort and the Phoenix Convention Center or Sky Harbor Airport. The drivers are familiar with the tribal land regulations and the specific traffic patterns of the resort area.

What types of buses can I book in Chandler?

We offer one of the most diverse fleets in Arizona to ensure every group gets exactly what they need! Our options include 14-passenger sprinter limousines , perfect for small VIP groups or airport transfers ; 15- to 35-passenger minibuses , which are ideal for wedding shuttles and corporate commutes; and full-size 56-passenger charter buses, built for long-distance travel and large student groups. We also provide party buses with wraparound leather seating and LED lighting for birthdays and nights out. Each vehicle is modern and equipped with amenities like reclining seats, climate control, and WiFi. If you need an ADA-accessible bus with a wheelchair lift, just let us know!

The cost of a charter bus rental in Chandler ranges from $1,810 to $3,665+ per day, $180–$500+ per hour, or $4.50–$7.50 per mile depending on the size of the vehicle, trip duration, and time of year. Minibuses in Chandler cost $1,520–$3,365 per day, $150–$440+ per hour, or $3.25–$5.50 per mile. Local trips in town will be billed at an hourly rate (with a 4-5 hour minimum), while trips spanning multiple days or long distances (like to Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon) will be billed at a day rate or by mile. Peak season in Chandler runs from October through May due to the beautiful weather and major events like Spring Training, so prices may be higher during these months. To get the best deal, we recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance!

Several factors impact your final price: how far you travel, how many days you need the bus, and what time of year you book. Chandler is a sprawling area, so pickup locations in farther suburbs like Sun Lakes or Ocotillo may include "deadhead"—the cost for the bus to travel from our base to your location. The type of bus also matters; a full-size 56-passenger coach costs more than a 20-passenger minibus , but the per-person cost is often lower when you fill all the seats. Requesting specific amenities like an onboard restroom or a specific bus brand can also influence the price. We always ask for your most accurate itinerary so we can calculate a quote that includes all travel time and mileage accurately, saving you from extra costs later on.

Choosing Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler means choosing reliability, comfort, and group unity. Unlike the Valley Metro bus or light rail, which have fixed routes and schedules, a private charter bus runs 100% on your terms. You don't have to worry about your group getting split up between multiple Ubers or waiting on a curb in the 110-degree heat for a delayed train. Our buses offer amenities you won't find on public transit—like reclining seats, onboard restrooms, and WiFi—allowing your group to stay productive or relaxed. Since 2011, we've completed over 50,000 successful trips, meaning we have the local expertise to handle traffic on I-10 and the specialized parking rules at venues like Rawhide or the Chandler Museum. With us, everyone arrives together, on time, and stress-free!
