Bus Rentals Available For Any Event
Choose From Every Reno Charter Bus Service Below
Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com can help you find and book group transportation for every kind of trip in Reno and across Nevada! From airport shuttles and concert runs to corporate events, weddings, school field trips, and wine tours through Virginia City — whatever brings your group together, there's a bus in the network ready for it. Explore the services below and find the one that fits your plans!
Stress-Free Airport Transfers for Reno Travelers
Start your trip the right way — with everyone together, on time, and stress-free. Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) (2001 E. Plumb Lane, Reno, NV 89502) handles nearly 5 million passengers a year, and navigating the ground transportation loop near baggage claim is a whole lot smoother when your whole group boards one bus instead of splitting into a parade of rideshares. Charter bus and shuttle pickup at RNO is in the designated ground transportation loop outside baggage claim Door D — have your group assembled curbside with all luggage before calling the bus forward, since commercial vehicles pull to the curb only once everyone is ready.
Flying into Sacramento International (SMF) instead? A charter bus can make the two-hour run west on I-80 and have your group in Reno without anyone renting a car or splitting across multiple vehicles. Compare airport shuttle buses for RNO and SMF through Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com — fill out the form or call 775-362-6940 to see what's available for your dates!
Rent a Charter Bus for Reno Concerts & Events
For quick and easy concert transportation in Reno, Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com makes it incredibly simple to find the right bus for your group! Whether you're heading to a show at the Grand Theatre at Grand Sierra Resort (2500 E. 2nd St, Reno, NV 89595), catching a performance at Lawlor Events Center (1664 N Virginia St, Reno, NV 89557) on the UNR campus, or hitting a late-night show at Harrah's Reno – Sammy's Showroom (219 N Center St, Reno, NV 89501), one bus keeps your whole group together from the first pickup to the last encore.
Downtown Reno's casino corridor along N Virginia St and N Center St fills up fast on show nights, and parking for a group of 20 or 30 people is a headache nobody needs. A party bus or minibus drops everyone right at the entrance, stages nearby, and picks the group up when the show ends — no hunting for parking, no surge pricing, no splitting up. Compare concert buses through Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com in under 30 seconds and find the right vehicle for your night out.
Call 775-362-6940 any time!
Timely Charter Buses for Reno Corporate Outings
Finding group transportation for a corporate event in Reno just got a whole lot easier. Whether you're shuttling conference attendees between downtown hotels and the Reno Sparks Convention Center (4590 S Virginia St, Reno, NV 89502), moving your team between the Reno-Tahoe airport and a resort property, or coordinating employee transportation to a company event at the Grand Sierra Resort, Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com helps you compare buses and packages from a large network of transportation companies — all in one place, with pricing in under a minute.
The Spaghetti Bowl interchange of I-80 and US-395 backs up during morning and evening rush hours, and during major conventions the Virginia St corridor through downtown can slow to a crawl. One charter bus takes the navigation and the parking off your plate entirely. Compare full-size motorcoaches with WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats for large delegations, or minibuses for smaller executive groups — and find the vehicle that fits your headcount and your itinerary.

Reno's major employers — from the Tesla Gigafactory in Sparks to Switch, IGT, Renown Health, and UNR — move large groups of employees every day.

You compare the options and book through the process shown with your quote.
Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com is an advertising and quote comparison website that makes it easy to find, compare, and book charter buses, minibuses, party buses, sprinter vans, and school buses serving Reno, Nevada. It is not a bus company, not a local operator, and not a motor carrier.

Booking is completed through a national booking platform.
Charter bus and shuttle pickup at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) is in the designated ground transportation loop outside baggage claim Door D. Commercial vehicles pull to the curb only once your group is assembled curbside with all luggage in hand — so have everyone together before calling the bus forward. For the most current ground transportation guidance, check the RNO ground transportation page before your trip.
Hot August Nights (typically late July into the first week of August) is the single biggest demand spike for bus rentals in the Reno market — drawing 750,000+ visitors to the classic car festival centered on the Reno Sparks Convention Center and downtown. Burning Man (late August / early September) is a close second, with Reno serving as the primary staging city for 70,000+ attendees heading to the Black Rock Desert. The Reno Rodeo in mid-June and the Great Reno Balloon Race in early September also drive significant demand.
Prom season in April and May across Washoe County school districts rounds out the peak calendar. Book three to six months out for any of these dates — or earlier for Hot August Nights and Burning Man.
Absolutely — and it's one of the most popular runs in the network! Lake Tahoe's South Shore is approximately 60 miles from Reno via US-395 and US-50, about 1.5 hours. The North Shore and Incline Village are about 35 miles via US-395 and NV-431 (the Mt. Rose Highway), roughly 50 minutes.
Full-size charter buses and minibuses are both available for Reno-to-Tahoe trips. Note that the Mt. Rose Highway (NV-431) can require chains or close during winter storms — plan your timing accordingly and build in a weather buffer for November-through-April trips. Fill out the form or call 775-362-6940 to get pricing for your Reno-to-Tahoe run!
Yes! Charter buses and shuttles from Reno to the Black Rock Desert (~120 miles north of Reno, typically via I-80 west to NV-447) are in extremely high demand the week before and after Burning Man each year (late August / early September). Reno is the primary staging city for the event, and many attendees prefer a charter bus to avoid the notorious exodus traffic on NV-447.
Because demand is so high during Burning Man week, it is strongly advised to book your bus as early as possible — ideally six months or more in advance. Fill out the form or call 775-362-6940 to check availability for your dates!
The right bus size depends on your headcount and what you're carrying. A 15-passenger minibus works well for small groups and tight urban drop-offs in downtown Reno. 20- to 35-passenger minibuses are a great middle ground for medium-sized groups — compact enough to navigate the UNR campus or the Midtown corridor, but roomy enough for a comfortable ride. A 56-passenger full-size charter bus is ideal for large groups, long-distance trips, or anyone bringing luggage and gear — it comes with undercarriage storage bays and an onboard restroom.
Party buses (15–50 passengers) are the pick for events where the celebration starts on the ride. Not sure? Fill out the form with your headcount and Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com will show you what's available!
For most trips in Reno, booking three to six months in advance gives you the best selection and the most competitive pricing. For peak-demand dates — Hot August Nights in late July and early August, Burning Man in late August and early September, the Great Reno Balloon Race in September, prom season in April and May, and Nevada Wolf Pack football Saturdays in the fall — book six months out or more. Waiting until the last minute on any of these dates means higher prices and fewer vehicles to choose from.
For off-peak trips with flexible timing, two to four weeks of lead time is workable — but earlier is always better. Call 775-362-6940 right now to lock in your date!
You Can Go Wherever You Want!
Get Your Group to These Reno Destinations by Bus
If you're looking for great places to take your group in Reno, the network of buses available through Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com can get you there in style and comfort! From world-class museums and a legendary auto collection to a historic mining town and the Great Basin's most scenic outdoor spaces, Reno and the surrounding region have something for every group. Here are six popular destinations worth putting on your itinerary!
Use the previous and next buttons, the left and right arrow keys, or swipe to browse six destinations.
National Automobile Museum (The Harrah Collection)
The National Automobile Museum (10 Lake St S, Reno, NV 89501, (775) 333-9300) is one of the finest automotive museums in the world and a must-see for any group visiting Reno. More than 200 vehicles are on display across four themed street scenes spanning a century of American car culture — including a 1949 Mercury customized for the film "Rebel Without a Cause," one of only three surviving 1907 Thomas Flyer World Race cars, and a 1938 Phantom Corsair unlike anything else on the planet. Charter bus drop-off is at the main entrance on Lake St S, steps from the Truckee River.
Groups of 15 or more should call ahead to arrange a guided group visit. The museum is open daily and is one of Reno's most popular field trip destinations for school groups and private tours alike.
Greater Nevada Field
Greater Nevada Field (250 Evans Ave, Reno, NV 89501, (775) 334-4700) is home to the Reno Aces, the Triple-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and seats approximately 9,100 fans in a ballpark right in the heart of downtown Reno. The Aces consistently rank among the best-attended Triple-A teams in the country, and a night at Greater Nevada Field is one of the best values in Reno entertainment. Charter bus drop-off is at the main Evans Ave entrance; buses stage on Evans Ave and the surrounding downtown streets, since there is no dedicated on-site charter bus lot.
Arrive early on fireworks nights and promotional game days — the parking situation downtown fills up fast, making a charter bus the smartest call for large fan groups.
Reno Sparks Convention Center
The Reno Sparks Convention Center (4590 S Virginia St, Reno, NV 89502, (775) 827-7600) is the region's premier meeting and event facility, with more than 600,000 square feet of exhibition and meeting space hosting everything from trade shows and corporate conferences to the Hot August Nights headquarters and fan events. Charter bus drop-off is at the main S Virginia St entrance, with large vehicle parking available in the adjacent surface lots. During major events like Hot August Nights, the lots fill early and the surrounding streets on S Virginia St see heavy congestion — a charter bus handles the navigation and the parking while your group walks straight to the door.
Groups attending multi-day conventions can arrange repeat shuttle service through Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com for the full run of the event.
Virginia City, Nevada
Virginia City (approximately 25 miles southeast of Reno via US-395 and NV-341) is one of the best-preserved 19th-century mining towns in the American West and a wildly popular destination for wine tours, private events, and history-minded group trips. The historic C Street corridor is lined with saloons, restaurants, wine bars, and shops housed in original Victorian-era buildings — and the views over the Comstock Lode are spectacular. Charter buses navigate NV-341 (a winding mountain road with a 6% grade in places) to drop groups in the heart of C Street.
Note that NV-341 can be affected by winter weather conditions from November through April — plan your timing accordingly. Virginia City is an ideal full-day wine tour destination from Reno, and a party bus or minibus makes the round trip memorable from the first mile.
Rancho San Rafael Regional Park (Great Reno Balloon Race)
Rancho San Rafael Regional Park (1595 N Sierra St, Reno, NV 89503, (775) 785-4512) is a 580-acre regional park on the north edge of Reno that serves as the launch site for the Great Reno Balloon Race each September — one of the largest free hot-air balloon events in the United States, held over four days each year. Charter bus drop-off is at the park entrance on N Sierra St; the park's large surface parking areas can accommodate oversized vehicles during non-event days, but during the Balloon Race, traffic management is in effect and early arrival is strongly recommended. The park is also home to the Wilbur D. May Center and Museum, making it a great field trip destination year-round.
A charter bus from downtown Reno to Rancho San Rafael takes under 15 minutes and keeps your whole group together for the dawn balloon launches.
Lawlor Events Center (University of Nevada, Reno)
Lawlor Events Center (1664 N Virginia St, Reno, NV 89557, (775) 784-4444) is the 11,500-seat arena at the heart of the University of Nevada, Reno campus — home of Nevada Wolf Pack basketball, major concerts, and university events. Charter bus drop-off is along the N Virginia St corridor on the west edge of campus; oversized vehicle parking and access for large groups must be coordinated in advance through UNR Parking & Transportation Services at (775) 784-4654. The UNR campus sits right on the main N Virginia St arterial, making it easy to access from downtown Reno and from I-80 via the Virginia St exit.
Wolf Pack basketball games and major concerts at Lawlor fill the surrounding neighborhood streets quickly — a charter bus that drops at the door and picks up post-event at a pre-arranged meeting point is far easier than navigating campus parking on a sold-out night.
