A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Memorial Stadium
For any sports fan in Nebraska, Memorial Stadium is hallowed ground. As the home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, this venue transforms into the "third-largest city in Nebraska" on game days, packing in nearly 90,000 screaming fans. If you are planning a group outing to join the Sea of Red, the last thing you want to worry about is navigating the gridlock around Stadium Drive or paying exorbitant fees for parking blocks away from the entrance. That is where Charter Bus Lincoln comes in. We offer specialized sporting event transportation that gets your entire crew of fans to the stadium together, on time, and ready to cheer.
When you book a charter bus rental for a Huskers game, you gain the ultimate tailgating asset. Our full-size motorcoaches come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays, perfect for stowing your coolers, tents, folding chairs, and grills. On the way to the stadium, your group can hype up by watching highlight reels on the onboard flat-screen TVs or blasting the fight song over the PA system. Your driver will drop you off as close to the action as possible and handle the parking logistics while you head to your seats. Whether you are a local alumni group or a visiting team, we make game day transportation effortless.

Historic Haymarket District
After a long day of meetings or a big win at the stadium, there is no better place to unwind than the Historic Haymarket District. Located in downtown Lincoln, this revitalized warehouse district is the heartbeat of the city’s dining, nightlife, and shopping scene. From the charming cobblestone streets to the unique architecture, it’s a must-visit for wedding parties, corporate groups, and tourists alike. However, finding parking for multiple vehicles in this popular area can be a nightmare, especially on weekends. A private minibus rental allows your group to hop from restaurant to bar without splitting up into rideshares or worrying about meters.
Rent a party bus or minibus for your bachelor or bachelorette party, and let Charter Bus Lincoln be your designated driver for the night. You can enjoy craft brews at Lazlo’s Brewery or grab a steak at The Single Barrel, knowing that a driver is waiting to take you comfortably to your next destination or back to your hotel. We can even coordinate a shuttle service for corporate events, moving your team from the convention center to a dinner at Leadbelly with zero stress. Enjoy the nightlife without the logistical headache!
Historic Haymarket District: 335 N 8th St, Lincoln, NE 68508
Nebraska State Capitol
Known as the "Tower of the Plains," the Nebraska State Capitol is an architectural marvel and a prime destination for school field trips and history tours. Unlike most state capitols that feature a dome, this limestone structure shoots 400 feet into the air, visible from miles away. Inside, visitors can explore intricate mosaics, murals, and the beautiful legislative chambers. If you are an educator planning a field trip for your students, ditch the cramped, non-air-conditioned yellow school bus. Instead, upgrade to a modern charter bus rental from Charter Bus Lincoln.
Our buses are designed to keep students and chaperones comfortable and engaged. With reclining seats, climate control, and onboard WiFi, the drive to downtown Lincoln becomes a breeze. You can even use the DVD players and monitors to show educational documentaries about Nebraska history while en route. Your driver can drop your group off right at the K Street entrance, ensuring the comfort of your students, and park off-site until you are ready to depart. We have worked with school districts across the state to provide reliable and compliant transportation for educational outings of all sizes.
Nebraska State Capitol: 1445 K St, Lincoln, NE 68508
Sunken Gardens
If you are looking for a serene escape or the perfect backdrop for wedding photos, the Sunken Gardens is a floral jewel in the heart of Lincoln. Listed as one of the "300 Best Gardens to Visit in the United States and Canada" by National Geographic, this terraced garden features thousands of annuals, reflecting pools, and art installations. It is an incredibly popular spot for wedding ceremonies and photo sessions. However, parking at the gardens is limited, which can cause significant stress for wedding guests trying to arrive on time.
Let Charter Bus Lincoln handle your wedding shuttle services. We can transport your bridal party and guests from their hotels directly to the Sunken Gardens, ensuring everyone arrives together and no one gets lost navigating Lincoln’s streets. Our premium minibuses are perfect for shuttling guests between the ceremony here and a reception at a different venue. With amenities like plush leather seating and powerful air conditioning—essential for those humid Nebraska summers—your guests will arrive refreshed and ready to celebrate your special day. Let us handle the logistics so you can focus on the flowers.
Sunken Gardens: 27th and Capitol Parkway, Lincoln, NE 68502
Museum of American Speed
For car enthusiasts, engineering students, and history buffs, the Museum of American Speed is a world-class destination right here in Lincoln. Founded by "Speedy" Bill Smith, this museum houses a massive collection of racing engines, vintage cars, and automotive memorabilia that spans the history of American racing. It is a fantastic destination for private group tours or corporate outings looking for something unique. Navigating a caravan of cars to the museum can be disjointed, but a charter bus rental keeps the group dynamic intact from start to finish.
Book a charter bus for your car club or engineering group, and turn the ride into a pre-show discussion. With onboard PA systems, your tour guide or group leader can brief everyone on the exhibits they are about to see while on the road. Whether you are coming from Omaha, Des Moines, or right here in Lincoln, our long-distance charter bus rentals provide the comfort you need for the journey. Store your cameras and personal items in the overhead bins and enjoy a smooth ride to one of the most fascinating museums in the Midwest.
Museum of American Speed: 599 Oak Creek Dr, Lincoln, NE 68528
Pinnacle Bank Arena
Since opening in the West Haymarket district, Pinnacle Bank Arena has become the premier destination for major concerts, Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball, and large-scale conventions. Whether you are heading to see a touring rock band, a country superstar, or a high-stakes basketball game, the atmosphere is electric—but the traffic on O Street and I-180 can be daunting. Parking garages fill up fast, and trying to coordinate a meetup spot with a dozen friends after the show is often chaotic.
Eliminate the stress by booking a private event charter bus with Charter Bus Lincoln. We can pick your group up from a central meeting point, a local restaurant, or your office, and drop you off curbside near the arena entrance. You won't have to worry about surge pricing on rideshare apps or walking long distances in the cold winter wind. After the encore or the final buzzer, your warm, comfortable bus will be waiting to take you home. It is the VIP treatment your group deserves for a big night out.
Pinnacle Bank Arena: 400 Pinnacle Arena Dr, Lincoln, NE 68508
Lincoln Children's Zoo
A favorite for families and elementary school trips, the Lincoln Children's Zoo offers up-close encounters with over 400 animals, including red pandas, giraffes, and giant tortoises. It is designed specifically with children in mind, making it a perfect destination for youth groups, summer camps, and birthday parties. Organizing transportation for dozens of excited children requires organization and patience—all of which you get when you partner with Charter Bus Lincoln.
Our buses are equipped with seatbelts and have the latest safety features, giving parents and teachers peace of mind. We can provide a fleet of buses for large grade-level trips or a single minibus for a private birthday party. The ample storage space means you can bring along coolers for lunch, extra clothing, and strollers without cluttering the aisles. Your driver will ensure a smooth drop-off at the main entrance, allowing you to keep a close eye on the kids without the distraction of parking. Make your next zoo trip a roaring success with reliable group transportation.
Lincoln Children's Zoo: 1222 S 27th St, Lincoln, NE 68502
University of Nebraska State Museum (Morrill Hall)
Affectionately known as "Elephant Hall," the University of Nebraska State Museum is a landmark of the UNL campus. It is famous for housing the world's largest collection of articulated fossil elephants, along with interactive exhibits on paleontology and astronomy in the Mueller Planetarium. It is a top-tier destination for educational tours and university events. However, parking on a busy university campus can be tricky for visitors, especially large groups.
Charter Bus Lincoln specializes in campus transportation. We can navigate the busy streets around the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with ease, dropping your group off right at the steps of Morrill Hall. Whether you are a high school group touring the campus or a senior citizen group exploring natural history, our ADA-accessible bus options ensure that everyone can participate comfortably. With a private shuttle, you avoid the confusion of campus parking permits and long walks, leaving more time to marvel at the mammoths.
