Charter Bus Prices in Atlanta
What does it cost to rent a charter bus in 5.Atlanta? Charter bus rentals in 5.Atlanta cost $150 to over $400 per hour, or $1,200-$3,000+ per day depending on bus size (18-56+ passengers), demand, and trip duration. Full-size coaches (50-56 seats) typically cost $170-$500+ per hour, while 18-35 passenger minibuses range from $120-$450+ per hour. You'll find the best rates on weekdays and during the winter months when city-wide events like the SEC Championship or major conventions at the Georgia World Congress Center aren't peaking demand. Prices fluctuate significantly during the 110 million annual passenger surges at Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) or during massive festivals like Music Midtown.
Because 5.Atlanta traffic can impact your schedule and budget, our team helps you build a quote that accounts for actual drive times through corridors like the I-75 North HOV lanes, avoiding surprise overages. We factor in the $20-$50 commercial parking fees often found near the Battery Atlanta or the Mercedes-Benz Stadium marshalling yards.

Why Choose Atlanta Charter Bus
Atlanta traffic and parking can turn any group trip into a headache, but we make it simple. Our team knows the ins and outs of the 71,000-seat Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the 1.5 million-square-foot Georgia World Congress Center, and the massive 7-concourse Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL). We understand the staging requirements for the 108.1 million annual passengers at ATL and the specific bus gates at the North and South Terminal ground transportation centers. You’ll get a clear quote, a clean bus, and a driver who handles the city’s busiest roads, from the Westside Provisions District to the busy hotel clusters in Downtown and Midtown, so you don’t have to. Call 470-450-5680 and let us take care of the details.
Atlanta Group Transportation Services We Offer
Whether you’re moving a sports team to the 1,300-acre LakePoint Sports Complex in Emerson or shuttling 200 wedding guests from a Buckhead church to a Midtown ballroom, we’ve got the right bus for your group. Our fleet covers everything from 15-passenger minibuses perfect for small corporate teams visiting the Ponce City Market to 56-seat charter buses for large-scale moves to the Georgia Aquarium. We also provide specialized party buses that can accommodate up to 50 people for birthday celebrations or bachelor parties visiting the nightlife districts in Virginia-Highland or Edgewood Avenue.

Atlanta Airport Transportation
Groups flying into or out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)-6000 N Terminal Pkwy-can skip the rideshare surge pricing and complicated pickup coordination at the world's busiest airport by booking a shuttle with 5.Atlanta Charter Bus. Serving 108.1 million passengers in 2024, ATL features a complex Domestic Terminal divided into North and South wings, and a separate Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal. Instead of splitting your group into multiple cars, everyone can enjoy a smooth ride from the Domestic Terminal's Ground Transportation Center directly to major hotel clusters like the Peachtree Center district or the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park. Your driver will handle the notoriously congested I-85 and I-285 intersections and drop your group off directly at the designated commercial curbside unloading zones, ensuring a seamless transition for your team and their luggage.

Atlanta Concert Transportation
Getting a group to State Farm Arena at 1 State Farm Dr for a 21,000-seat concert is tough with downtown traffic and limited rideshare pickup spots. The arena’s official bus drop-off is on Centennial Olympic Park Dr, which keeps your group together and out of the heavy pedestrian flow near the CNN Center. For Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park (4469 Stella Dr NW), the on-site lots for the 6,900-capacity venue fill up incredibly fast—especially during the Summer Concert Series—so a charter bus prevents your group from circling residential streets or walking long distances from overflow parking. With 5.Atlanta Charter Bus, you skip the parking stress on busy roads like Powers Ferry Road and get everyone dropped off right at the gate, ready for the show.

Atlanta Corporate Shuttle Services
When your company is attending a conference at the Georgia World Congress Center (285 Andrew Young International Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313), which offers 1.5 million square feet of exhibit space, you need a reliable way to navigate the 200-acre campus. The GWCC sits right downtown, where Baker Street, Centennial Olympic Drive, and MLK Jr. Drive all snarl with commuter and event traffic from nearby Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Your driver will drop your team off right at the Building A entrance or the new Exhibit Hall BC to avoid the $30+ self-parking fees in the Red Deck. From there, your driver will wait in the designated marshalling yard, keeping your group together for post-show dinners in the Westside or Midtown districts.
We also provide consistent employee shuttle services for long-term projects at major offices like the Coca-Cola Headquarters at 1 Coca-Cola Plaza NW and the massive Delta Air Lines corporate campus near ATL. Avoid the daily stress of I-285 "Top End" bottlenecks and the I-75/I-85 Downtown Connector when you book with 5.Atlanta Charter Bus! Our shuttles help local firms manage employee commutes from regional hubs like the Arts Center MARTA station directly to their office front doors.

Atlanta Employee Shuttle Services
When you're moving teams through 5.Atlanta's traffic bottlenecks, every detail matters. That's why local employers use 5.Atlanta Charter Bus for consistent employee shuttle service that actually cuts down on late arrivals. From daily shuttles at the 5.Atlanta VA Medical Center at 1670 Clairmont Rd to construction crew transfers for the Gulch redevelopment project, we help teams dodge the worst of the morning gridlock. Our drivers are experts at navigating the "Perimeter" and the busy 14th Street corridor in Midtown to keep your staff moving.
We regularly coordinate pickups for Northside Hospital Atlanta Campus at 1000 Johnson Ferry Rd and Piedmont Atlanta Hospital at 1968 Peachtree Rd NW, where managing the busy campus entrances during shift-change surges is critical. Whether it's a 25-passenger minibus or a full-size coach with reclining seats and WiFi, you get reliable scheduling that accounts for chokepoints on I-85, GA-400, and the heavy traffic near the Lindbergh Center. The result? A smoother commute for your healthcare or corporate professionals that bypasses the stress of the GA-400/I-285 interchange construction and keeps your operation on track.

Atlanta Field Trip Transportation
Teachers and chaperones love how easy we make field trip transportation in 5.Atlanta. When you're taking students to the Georgia Aquarium at 225 Baker St NW-the largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere-or the World of Coca-Cola, your biggest hurdle is the I-85/75 Connector bottleneck near the North Avenue exit. Our drivers know how to navigate that mess and drop your group off right at the Baker Street bus loading zone, exactly where school buses unload, so you skip the long walk from the parking decks. You can request a motorcoach with WiFi, TV monitors, and power outlets to keep kids entertained, plus onboard restrooms to avoid extra stops.
We've helped countless schools visit the MLK Jr. National Historical Park, the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Zoo Atlanta in Grant Park, and the High Museum of Art. Because we operate everywhere from DeKalb and Cobb County to Athens and Macon, you can rely on us for both local museum trips and long-distance campus tours of the University of Georgia. Our drivers understand the specific bus parking zones at sites like the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, ensuring your field trip runs on time, every time.

Atlanta Government & Military Transportation
Moving a team to the Georgia State Capitol at 206 Washington St SW is always a headache with downtown traffic and tight security cordons. Our minibuses and charter buses use the Mitchell Street entrance for quick drop-offs, so your group avoids the hassle of finding oversized parking near the busy government buildings or splitting up in rideshares. For meetings at the Atlanta City Hall Annex or the Richard B. Russell Federal Building, we can stage on Trinity Avenue or Forsyth Street to ensure prompt pickups without circling blocks. With 5.Atlanta Charter Bus, you keep your government group together and on time for legislative sessions or agency briefings, avoiding the gridlock near the Georgia State MARTA station.

Atlanta Long-Distance Bus Rentals
If you're traveling out of state, it's easy to hit I-85 N at the 5.Atlanta junction near Memorial Drive for a charter bus service to Charlotte or take I-20 east for a 4-hour charter bus trip to Savannah. But regional trips still come with major headaches, like the I-285 Perimeter bottlenecks that can add an hour to any departure. That's why your group will appreciate the comfort and convenience of a long-distance charter bus. Instead of splitting into multiple cars for a 250-mile trip to Charleston or a 150-mile drive to Birmingham, stay together in a motorcoach with reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms.
Whether you're planning a faith-based trip to the 33-acre Atlanta History Center in Buckhead, a school field trip to the 10-million-gallon Georgia Aquarium, or a corporate retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains via I-575, we'll make sure your driver knows the best routes. Your driver will navigate the backroads to bypass gridlock at the Brookwood Interchange and get you to your destination safely. You'll ride in a clean, modern vehicle built for comfort on long hauls down I-75 toward Florida or west on I-20 toward Auburn-because the success of your trip starts with the journey.

Atlanta Private Event Transportation
Private events in Atlanta often mean juggling guests, parking, and tight schedules at popular venues like The Foundry at Puritan Mill in the Westside or the many rooftop spaces in Buckhead. 5.Atlanta Charter Bus takes the stress out of group movement with 15-passenger sprinter vans, 35-passenger minibuses, and 56-passenger coaches that fit your specific headcount. We handle the driving through busy corridors like Peachtree Street and manage the drop-off logistics so everyone arrives together for your gala or anniversary party. No circling for $25 valet spots or waiting on inconsistent rideshares near the BeltLine-just smooth, coordinated arrivals and departures for your entire guest list. Call 470-450-5680 to get started.

Atlanta Religious Group Transportation
Faith-based groups often visit the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church at 101 Jackson St NE, but the tight Auburn Avenue one-ways and 100-year-old street patterns make parking oversized vehicles nearly impossible. Our drivers understand exactly how to navigate the Edgewood Avenue detours and can arrange drop-offs right at the Heritage Sanctuary's accessible entrance, so your congregation avoids walking several blocks in the Georgia humidity.
We also provide long-distance charter bus rentals for church retreats to Stone Mountain Park at 1000 Robert E Lee Blvd. During the busy summer season, park rangers direct oversized vehicles to the South Lot Group Parking area, which can be a long walk from the main Skyride gate. With a driver waiting on-site at the designated bus lot, your group avoids the hike and the $40 daily parking fee is wrapped directly into your reservation. Whether it's a youth group trip to Six Flags Over Georgia or a regional conference at the 6,500-seat North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, we make the logistics simple.

Atlanta Sporting Event Transportation
Getting your group to the 71,000-seat Mercedes-Benz Stadium at 1 AMB Dr NW is a major headache on Falcons or Atlanta United game days. Traffic on Northside Drive backs up for miles, and oversized vehicle parking in the Marshalling Yard or Red Deck can be extremely limited and expensive. A charter bus drops everyone right at the designated group gate, so you skip the long walk from the CNN Center MARTA station. For a Hawks game at the 19,000-seat State Farm Arena, sprinter vans are small enough for Centennial Olympic Park decks but big enough for your whole crew. You stay together, avoid surge pricing after the final buzzer, and get picked up directly at the arena's bus loading zone on Centennial Olympic Park Drive-no splitting up or waiting in the rain on Marietta Street.

Atlanta Wedding Transportation
For weddings at the historic Callanwolde Fine Arts Center at 980 Briarcliff Rd NE, guests often struggle with the very limited on-site parking in the residential Druid Hills neighborhood. Your driver will drop guests right at the Porte-cochère entrance, allowing them to skip the walk from remote overflow lots, while you and your family focus on the ceremony. We also provide shuttle loops to and from the nearby Emory Conference Center Hotel for out-of-town guests.
For receptions Ponce City Market (675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE), your guests avoid the high cost and hassle of the notoriously crowded parking deck and the busy North Avenue traffic. Instead, your bus can unload passengers at the designated commercial curb on Glen Iris Drive during your reception window, keeping everyone on schedule without a long walk across the 2-million-square-foot facility. During peak wedding season in May and October, when traffic on the I-75/I-85 Downtown Connector is at its worst, your driver navigates the surface streets of Midtown to reach your chosen ballroom at the St. Regis or Four Seasons, saving your guests from $50 valet fees and rideshare confusion.

Atlanta Winery and Brewery Transportation
Winery and brewery tours in 5.Atlanta can be tricky when half the group draws the short straw as designated drivers. Instead, reserve a 5.Atlanta charter bus rental and allow everyone to enjoy the ride through North Georgia wine country or the city's booming craft beer scene! You can plan a luxurious winery tour of spots like Kaya Vineyard and Winery (5400 Town Creek Rd) or Wolf Mountain Vineyards (180 Wolf Mountain Trail) in Dahlonega with a private bus rental. Navigating the winding mountain roads of Lumpkin County can be intimidating for sedans, but your professional driver will handle them with ease while your group enjoys the views from panoramic windows.
Or, if you're planning to stay in town, let us shuttle your group between local favorites like SweetWater Brewing Company near Piedmont Park, Monday Night Brewing in the West End, and Eventide Brewing in Grant Park. With a private charter bus rental, your group can enjoy a custom tour of the "Beeline" or the "Westside" breweries without worrying about navigating the heavy traffic on Howell Mill Road. From the airport hotels in Hapeville to the square in Decatur, we've got your craft beverage transportation covered!

Providing Bus Rentals in Atlanta & All Nearby Cities
Groups don't come to the Georgia Aquarium at 225 Baker St NW just to see whale sharks-they come because it's a world-class facility with over 10 million gallons of water. But here's the catch: Baker Street is a nightmare for oversized vehicles, and general parking decks nearby have a 6'8" height limit that won't accommodate a full-size coach. Our drivers know exactly how to navigate the one-way grid near Centennial Olympic Park, dropping your group at the Baker Street bus loading zone so you bypass the 20-minute walk from the World of Coca-Cola deck. While we handle the staging at the Ivan Allen Jr. Blvd bus lot, your attendees can focus on their dolphin presentation instead of fighting Peachtree Street traffic.
We've moved thousands of school groups, corporate teams, and convention attendees through every bottleneck in Fulton County-from the I-285 "Perimeter" crawl to the Spaghetti Junction backups at the I-85/I-285 interchange. Whether you're heading to the 100,000-square-foot Exhibit Hall BC at the GWCC or a corporate event at the Cobb Galleria Centre, you'll get a real logistics plan and a vehicle that fits your exact headcount. That's why organizations across DeKalb, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties trust 5.Atlanta Charter Bus for their highest-stakes events at venues like Truist Park and the Fox Theatre.

+Most groups in 5.Atlanta pay between $135 and $485 per hour for a bus, depending on the size and type. Daily rates for a 56-passenger motorcoach usually run from $1,350 to $3,800. For longer trips, expect $4.50 to $9.50 per mile. Minibuses and 15-passenger sprinter vans are on the lower end, while full-size coaches and 50-passenger party buses cost more. Prices can shift based on heavy traffic on the Downtown Connector, event season peaks like the Peachtree Road Race, and your total mileage to regional destinations like Stone Mountain or Chateau Elan.
What amenities are available on each of our bus types in 5.Atlanta, Georgia?
+We offer a wide range of amenities that can be tailored to your group's specific needs. Minibuses are great for quick trips around Midtown or Buckhead and often include features like cushioned reclining seats, overhead storage, and WiFi-perfect for corporate teams heading to meetings near the 189-acre Piedmont Park. Full-size charter buses are ideal for long-distance travel with amenities such as onboard restrooms, individual charging outlets, climate control, and flat-screen TVs; many schools and sports teams request these for 100-mile trips on I-20 to tournaments in Macon. If you need something special, like a PA system for a campus tour at Georgia Tech or ADA-accessible ramps for an event at the 4,600-seat Fox Theatre, just ask! We've matched thousands of groups with the right vehicle since 2011, ensuring your ride to the High Museum or the Fernbank Museum is seamless.
What types of vehicles do you offer in 5.Atlanta, Georgia?
+You’ll get access to a full range of group vehicles here, from 18–35 passenger minibuses for quick corporate transfers to 40–56 passenger charter buses for large outings to the North Georgia State Fair. If you’re planning something smaller, our 6–15 passenger sprinter vans work well for airport runs to Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) or team shuttles to the Emory University campus. For celebrations, we have party buses that fit 10–50 people, perfect for a night out in the Buckhead Village or the Westside. Every bus comes with a professional driver, so you don’t have to worry about navigating the complex Spaghetti Junction interchange or finding oversized parking downtown.
What types of events & destinations do you frequently serve in 5.Atlanta, Georgia?
+5.Atlanta Charter Bus provides transportation for school field trips to the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and the Fernbank Museum of Natural History; campus tours at Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Emory, and SCAD Atlanta; corporate events in Buckhead, Downtown, and the 25-million-square-foot office market in Alpharetta; shuttles for major conventions at the Georgia World Congress Center; and wedding transportation for ceremonies and receptions across Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb counties. We also handle sports travel to the 71,000-seat Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the 19,000-seat State Farm Arena, Truist Park in the Battery, and the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton; faith-based group transportation to Ebenezer Baptist Church; and airport transfers to and from Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL).
Our fleet serves every major destination in the metro area-including the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Zoo Atlanta, the 3,200-acre Stone Mountain Park, and the high-end shopping at Lenox Square-with custom routing that avoids the worst of the I-285 "Top End" traffic and keeps your trip on schedule.
How far in advance should I book my 5.Atlanta, Georgia bus rental?
+It’s best to book your Atlanta bus rental 3 to 6 months ahead, especially if you need a ride during the busy spring or fall months. Those seasons fill up fast with graduations at Georgia Tech, weddings in Piedmont Park, and major events like the 50,000-person Dragon Con or the SEC Championship. Last-minute bookings are possible, but your options for 56-passenger motorcoaches may be limited. Planning early gives you more vehicle choices and better rates before the high-demand periods at Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) or the Georgia World Congress Center kick in. If you know your dates for a trip to the Battery or a brewery tour, locking in your bus now saves you stress later.
Popular Atlanta Charter Bus Destinations
Groups love using Atlanta charter bus rentals for school field trips to the 10-million-gallon Georgia Aquarium, corporate events at the 144,000-square-foot Cobb Galleria Centre, and family reunions at the 189-acre Piedmont Park.

Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre
Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, 2800 Cobb Concourse, Atlanta, GA 30339 (Located in the Cumberland/Marietta area). 2. The Real Facts: This is a premier venue for opera, Broadway, comedy, and concerts. It is the home of the Atlanta Opera and the Atlanta Ballet. The John A. Williams Theatre has a seating capacity of 2,750, and the Kessel D. Stelling Ballroom can host up to 630 for seated meals or larger for receptions. Peak season runs from fall through spring, aligning with the performance schedules of its resident companies. 3. The Logistics: Charter buses should use the dedicated valet/bus loop for drop-offs at the main entrance, which provides easy access for the 2,750 theater-goers. Large groups often coordinate parking in the adjacent deck or surface lots; however, oversized parking for 56-passenger motorcoaches must be pre-arranged with venue management. Access is direct via the I-75 and I-285 interchange near the Battery Atlanta. Traffic at the Akers Mill and Cobb Parkway intersection is a major pain point during weekday rush hours and event start times, so we recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before curtain.

Glover Park & Historic Marietta Square
Glover Park, 50 N Park Square NE, Marietta, GA 30060. 2. The Real Facts: The central hub of Marietta, hosting massive annual events like the Fourth in the Park Celebration, the Glover Park Concert Series (monthly May-Sept), HarvestFest, and Chalktoberfest. These events attract tens of thousands of visitors to the historic square. The Square serves as a year-round destination for large groups visiting the Marietta Museum of History and the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre. 3. The Logistics: Charter buses should drop off passengers on East Park Square or at the Marietta City Hall parking lot at 205 Lawrence St to avoid the tight one-way streets. Street parking for oversized vehicles is strictly prohibited around the Square; buses typically stage at the nearby Elizabeth Porter Park or the Marietta Transfer Center. Local roads like Whitlock Ave and Cherokee St experience significant congestion during festivals, making a coordinated drop-off essential for staying on schedule. The Square is also home to numerous high-capacity restaurants like Marietta Pizza Company that frequently host group lunches.
50 N Park Square NE, Marietta, GA 30060
(770) 794-5601

Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre
Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre, 117 North Park Square, Marietta, GA 30060. 2. The Real Facts: A historic 1935 Art Deco theater that seats 531 people. It hosts live theatrical productions, classic films, concerts, and corporate events on its multi-level stage. Home to the Marietta Theatre Company and various film festivals, the venue also features a rooftop terrace for private events. The peak season is year-round with a heavy schedule of holiday shows in December that draw capacity crowds. 3. The Logistics: Passenger drop-off is restricted on North Park Square; groups should unload at the designated loading zone on Cherokee Street to ensure safe sidewalk access. There is no on-site parking for charter buses. Drivers often utilize the Mill Street parking lot for short-term staging or remote lots near the Marietta Welcome Center. The pedestrian-heavy environment around the 531-seat theater requires slow approach speeds and awareness of one-way street patterns on the Square.

Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center
Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center, 500 Powder Springs St, Marietta, GA 30064. 2. The Real Facts: This venue features 25,000 square feet of meeting space, including the 6,500-square-foot Grand Ballroom. It is a primary hub for corporate conventions, weddings, and large banquets, often hosting up to 800 guests simultaneously across its 27 meeting rooms. It overlooks the City Club Marietta golf course and is a popular site for multi-day retreats. 3. The Logistics: Charter buses have ample space for drop-off at the main circular portico, which can accommodate several full-size coaches at once. The facility offers dedicated oversized parking on-site, making it one of the most bus-friendly venues in the metro area. Access via Powder Springs Street is generally efficient, though traffic can back up near the Marietta High School zone during shift changes or morning and afternoon bell times, affecting the 800-guest arrival window.

Jim R. Miller Park & Event Center
Jim R. Miller Park, 2245 Callaway Rd SW, Marietta, GA 30008. 2. The Real Facts: A 100-acre park that hosts the North Georgia State Fair (the second-largest fair in GA), drawing over 300,000 attendees annually in late September. It also features a 2,000-seat equestrian arena and a 41,000-square-foot exhibit hall for trade shows, antique markets, and dog shows. 3. The Logistics: For major events like the fair, which draws 300,000 people, charter buses should enter through Gate 1 for coordinated group unloading. Specific oversized parking areas are designated on the grass or gravel lots to accommodate 56-passenger motorcoaches. Drivers should avoid Al Bishop Drive during peak event hours due to heavy local traffic and should instead use Callaway Road for direct access. Rideshare traffic for the equestrian arena is strictly channeled into a separate entry to avoid mixing with heavy bus and tractor-trailer vehicle flow.

Marietta Museum of History (Kennesaw House)
Marietta History Center, 1 Depot St, Marietta, GA 30060. 2. The Real Facts: Located in the historic Kennesaw House, a building dating back to 1845, it hosts large school tours and history groups year-round. It is adjacent to the Western and Atlantic Railroad and is a primary stop for group tours exploring Civil War history and the Great Locomotive Chase. The museum features four galleries across two floors of the 179-year-old hotel building. 3. The Logistics: Charter buses must unload at the Marietta Welcome Center/Train Depot parking area on Depot Street. Drivers must be extremely cautious of the active CSX freight rail lines and the tight turning radius onto Depot Street when navigating a full-size motorcoach. Oversized parking is available at the public lot off Mill Street, a short 5-minute walk for the group. The primary pain point is the proximity to the active railroad crossing, which can cause significant delays if a train stops, potentially impacting timed tours of the four galleries.
