A few of the companies we’ve worked with
San Marcos River & Sewell Park
There is nothing quite as iconic to the local culture as the San Marcos River. Fed by the Edwards Aquifer, this river stays a refreshing 72 degrees year-round, making it the ultimate destination for tubing, kayaking, and swimming. Sewell Park, located on the Texas State University campus, is a favorite gathering spot for students and visitors alike to sunbathe and jump into the water. However, parking near Sewell Park and the Lions Club Tube Rental can be an absolute nightmare, especially on summer weekends when the lots fill up by mid-morning. Don't let your group waste valuable fun time circling for a spot.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company San Marcos, we handle the drop-off and pick-up logistics seamlessly. The driver can drop your group off right near the tube rental facility or the park entrance (601 University Dr, San Marcos, TX 78666) and wait nearby or return at a designated time. Plus, our buses offer ample undercarriage storage, perfect for hauling your own coolers, towels, and dry clothes for after the float. After a long day in the sun, there is nothing better than climbing into a climate-controlled bus with reclining seats to cool off.
San Marcos Premium Outlets & Tanger Outlets
For shopaholics, San Marcos is a paradise. The combination of the San Marcos Premium Outlets and the adjacent Tanger Outlets forms one of the largest shopping centers in the United States, spanning over 1 million square feet of retail space. With hundreds of stores ranging from Gucci and Prada to Nike and Lululemon, your group could easily spend an entire day—or two—hunting for bargains. However, the sheer size of the complex means a lot of walking, and moving a large group between the two different outlet centers can be exhausting if you are trying to coordinate multiple vehicles.
A private charter bus rental is the ultimate shopping hack. The driver can shuttle your group between the Premium Outlets (3939 S Interstate 35, San Marcos, TX 78666) and the Tanger Outlets, saving your feet for the stores. More importantly, a charter bus provides massive storage bays. You won't have to worry about running out of trunk space or carrying heavy bags around all day. Simply drop your purchases off with the driver and head back out for round two! Whether it is a holiday shopping excursion or a tour group stop, we make the experience seamless.
The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment
Formerly known as Aquarena Springs, The Meadows Center is a unique educational and recreational jewel located on the shores of Spring Lake. It is one of the longest continuously inhabited sites in North America and serves as a living laboratory for water conservation. The main attraction here is the famous Glass-Bottom Boat Tour, where your group can look straight down into the crystal-clear water to see bubbling springs, native fish, and aquatic plants without ever getting wet. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips, scout troops, and senior citizen tour groups.
Charter Bus Rental Company San Marcos specializes in academic and eco-tourism transportation. We can transport your class or organization directly to the ticket kiosk at 201 San Marcos Springs Dr, San Marcos, TX 78666. If you are traveling with students, you can utilize the onboard PA system to give a pre-tour briefing, or play educational videos on the bus's TV monitors during the ride. For senior groups, we can provide ADA-accessible buses to ensure every member of your party can enjoy the beauty of Spring Lake comfortably.
Wonder World Cave & Adventure Park
For a quirky and memorable Texas experience, take your group to Wonder World Cave & Adventure Park. This park features the only earthquake-formed cave in the nation open for viewing. Visitors can descend into the Balcones Fault Line cave, take a train ride through a wildlife park where you can feed deer and petting zoo animals, and experience the mind-bending Anti-Gravity House. It is a classic roadside attraction that provides hours of entertainment for family reunions, youth groups, and birthday parties.
Located at 1000 Prospect St, San Marcos, TX 78666, the park is tucked away in a residential area where parking for multiple vehicles can be tricky. A minibus or charter bus rental simplifies arrival. We can drop your group right at the gift shop entrance so you can start your tour immediately. If you are planning a birthday party, a charter bus is the perfect way to keep the energy high. You can decorate the interior of the bus (with prior approval) and play music over the sound system to get everyone excited before you even arrive at the cave.
Historic Downtown Square
The "Square" is the heartbeat of San Marcos nightlife and dining. Anchored by the beautiful Hays County Historic Courthouse, the downtown area is lined with trendy bistros, college bars, vintage shops, and live music venues. It is the perfect place for a bachelor or bachelorette party, a corporate dinner, or just a night out with friends. However, downtown parking is notoriously scarce, and navigating one-way streets with a convoy of cars is a recipe for getting separated.
Let Charter Bus Rental Company San Marcos be your designated driver. Renting a party bus or minibus for a night out on the Square (111 E San Antonio St, San Marcos, TX 78666) ensures that everyone arrives comfortably and gets home comfortably. You won't have to worry about surge pricing on rideshare apps or finding a parking spot blocks away. We can drop you off right in front of The Marc for a concert or at Palmer's Restaurant for a nice dinner. Enjoy the nightlife responsibly and luxuriously with a private shuttle dedicated solely to your group.
Texas State University (Bobcat Stadium)
Home of the Bobcats, Texas State University dominates the landscape of San Marcos. Whether you are a high school counselor bringing prospective students for a campus tour, an alumni group coming back for Homecoming, or a visiting athletic team, getting around this hilly campus is much easier on a bus. Bobcat Stadium, located at 1100 Aquarena Springs Dr, San Marcos, TX 78666, is the place to be on game days.
Charter Bus Rental Company San Marcos is experienced in university transportation. For campus tours, we can navigate the campus loop, dropping students off at the LBJ Student Center or the Admissions building. For game days, a charter bus is the ultimate tailgating vehicle. You can store tents, grills, and coolers in the undercarriage storage, and enjoy the AC while waiting for kickoff. Avoid the stress of game-day traffic on Aquarena Springs Drive by letting a driver handle the navigation while you focus on cheering for the Bobcats.
Cheatham Street Warehouse
Music lovers cannot visit San Marcos without a pilgrimage to Cheatham Street Warehouse. This legendary honky-tonk is where George Strait played his first gigs with the Ace in the Hole Band, and it continues to be a launching pad for Texas songwriters. It has a gritty, authentic atmosphere that screams Texas country. If you are organizing a music history tour or a corporate outing with a Texas twist, this venue is a must-stop.
Located at 119 Cheatham St, San Marcos, TX 78666, the venue sits near the railroad tracks and has limited parking. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company San Marcos is the ideal way to transport your group to a show. Your group can enjoy a few cold beverages and listen to live music without worrying about the drive back to the hotel. We can arrange late-night pickups to ensure your group enjoys the entire set without watching the clock.
Rio Vista Park
Rio Vista Park is another crown jewel of the San Marcos park system. Known for its man-made whitewater chutes/rapids, this 14-acre park is a hotspot for kayakers, tubers, and swimmers looking for a bit more excitement than the calm waters of Sewell Park. It also features picnic tables, hiking trails, and tennis courts, making it an excellent location for a company picnic or a large family gathering.
Located at 555 Cheatham St, San Marcos, TX 78666, Rio Vista is popular, and finding parking for 50 people in separate cars is nearly impossible on a sunny Saturday. Charter Bus Rental Company San Marcos can shuttle your group from a nearby hotel or designated parking area directly to the park entrance. If you are bringing kayaking gear or large picnic spreads, our motorcoaches have plenty of room to stow your equipment securely. Let us handle the transport so you can handle the rapids!
