A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Experience the Magic at Koka Booth Amphitheatre
There is perhaps no venue more iconic in the region than the Koka Booth Amphitheatre (8003 Regency Pkwy, Cary, NC 27518). Nestled among tall pines and hardwoods by Symphony Lake, this venue offers a stunning natural setting for concerts and festivals. It is the summer home of the North Carolina Symphony and hosts a variety of touring acts, food truck rodeos, and movie nights. However, parking can often be a challenge during sold-out shows, with long walks from overflow lots being common. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Cary, you bypass these hurdles entirely. We can drop your group off right at the main gate, allowing you to secure your spot on the lawn immediately.
One of the best features of Koka Booth is the ability to bring your own picnics to many events. A standard car trunk simply cannot accommodate coolers, folding chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets for a large group. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays, meaning you can bring everything you need for the ultimate al fresco dining experience without cramping your legroom. After enjoying a "Summerfest" concert under the stars, your group can board a climate-controlled bus, avoiding the post-concert traffic jam stress. Whether you are organizing a corporate outing for the "Movies by Moonlight" series or a large family reunion centered around a major concert, our transportation services ensure a seamless experience at this premier outdoor venue.
Celebrate Culture at the NC Chinese Lantern Festival
Every winter, Koka Booth Amphitheatre transforms into a luminous wonderland for the North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival. This event draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the state to view larger-than-life LED lantern displays, traditional Chinese acrobatic performances, and cultural artisan demonstrations. Because this event takes place during the holiday season (typically November through January), traffic around Regency Park is incredibly dense, and temperatures can be chilly. Renting a heated charter bus or minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Cary is the perfect way to keep your group warm and comfortable before and after walking through the exhibits.
This event is particularly popular for church groups, senior living communities, and school field trips. Organizing a convoy of personal vehicles for a night event can lead to separated groups and confusion in the dark parking lots. With a private bus rental, your driver handles the navigation and parking logistics. Your group can stay together, discuss the breathtaking displays, and share photos via our onboard WiFi while transiting back to your hotel or meeting point. We can arrange for convenient pickup and drop-off times that align with your ticket entry, ensuring you maximize your time enjoying the dragons, pagodas, and artistic lights without worrying about the logistics of getting home on a cold winter night.
Arts & Crafts Galore at Lazy Daze Arts & Crafts Festival
For nearly 50 years, the Lazy Daze Arts & Crafts Festival has been a staple of Cary’s cultural identity. Held annually in late August, this festival takes over the streets of Downtown Cary (316 N Academy St, Cary, NC 27513), bringing together hundreds of artists from across the country, live entertainment, and food vendors. The festival is notoriously popular, which means street closures and extremely limited parking in the immediate vicinity. Attendees often have to park miles away and wait for public shuttles. By booking a private shuttle service with Charter Bus Rental Company Cary, your group can skip the public shuttle lines and the long walks in the summer heat.
The drivers can navigate the detours and road closures associated with downtown festivals. We can coordinate a drop-off point as close to the festival entrance as permitted, allowing your group to dive straight into the festivities. If you are a group of serious art collectors or shoppers, having a charter bus is a massive advantage. Instead of carrying heavy pottery, framed paintings, or garden art around all day, you can utilize the bus's storage compartments to stow your purchases safely. Whether you are a local HOA organizing a neighborhood trip or a tour group visiting from out of state, our air-conditioned buses provide a welcome respite from the August humidity, ensuring your Lazy Daze experience is relaxing and enjoyable.
Downtown Cary Park and The Cary Theater Events
The newly revitalized Downtown Cary area is anchored by the stunning Downtown Cary Park and the historic The Cary Theater (122 E Chatham St, Cary, NC 27511). This area is a hub for film festivals, including the BEYOND: The Film Festival, as well as live music, comedy shows, and community gatherings. Parking in downtown can be fragmented, often requiring parallel parking or hunting for spaces in various decks. For corporate groups, film clubs, or educational outings, a minibus rental is the most efficient way to access these venues. We can transport your group directly to the theater entrance for a screening or to the park for a programmed event.
Downtown Cary is also known for its "Final Friday" art loops and outdoor concerts at the park pavilion. If you are planning a birthday celebration or a night out with friends, a sprinter van or minibus rental allows everyone to enjoy the entertainment and local nightlife without appointing a designated driver. Your driver will be waiting to take you to your next destination, whether it’s a dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant like The Mayton or back home. With plush seating and a premium sound system on board, you can keep the energy high and discuss the film or concert you just witnessed while we handle the downtown traffic.
Sporting Events at WakeMed Soccer Park & USA Baseball
Cary is a premier destination for amateur and professional sports, home to the WakeMed Soccer Park (201 Soccer Park Dr, Cary, NC 27511) and the USA Baseball National Training Complex (7445 Green Hope School Rd, Cary, NC 27519). Whether you are a visiting team competing in a tournament or a group of fans cheering on the North Carolina Courage (NWSL) or North Carolina FC (USL), Charter Bus Rental Company Cary provides the ultimate game-day transportation. For teams, our full-size charter buses offer ample legroom for athletes to stretch out and rest, as well as massive storage space for gear bags, balls, and medical equipment.
For fans, tailgating is often part of the experience. A private bus rental allows your supporter group to bring tents, coolers, grills, and flags without stuffing them into the back of a sedan. We can transport you directly to the stadium lots, where you can set up your pre-game festivities. If you are attending a tournament at the USA Baseball complex, days can be long and hot. Having an air-conditioned bus on-site gives players a place to cool down between doubleheaders and provides a secure location to store personal belongings. From youth leagues to collegiate championships, we have the fleet to support your athletic endeavors in Cary.
Spring Daze Arts and Crafts Festival Transportation
Held annually in April at the beautiful Fred G. Bond Metro Park (801 High House Rd, Cary, NC 27513), the Spring Daze Arts and Crafts Festival is the sister event to Lazy Daze, focusing on local North Carolina artists. Bond Park is a sprawling green space, but parking within the park during the festival is nonexistent for the general public, forcing attendees to park at remote lots and take municipal shuttles. By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Cary, your group can bypass the remote lots. We can arrange for a seamless drop-off and pick-up, saving your group valuable time and energy.
Spring Daze is often a family-oriented event, and traveling with children, strollers, and picnic supplies can be cumbersome on public shuttles. A private charter bus offers a dedicated space for your group’s gear. Parents can relax in reclining seats while the kids watch a movie on the onboard monitors during the ride over. After a day of exploring the trails, visiting the boathouse, and browsing the art stalls, a cool, comfortable bus ride home is the perfect end to a spring day. We work with senior centers, church groups, and community organizations to ensure that everyone, regardless of mobility challenges, can enjoy this beloved Cary tradition.
Brewery and Culinary Tours in Cary
Cary’s culinary and craft beer scene has exploded in recent years, with establishments like Bond Brothers Beer Company (202 E Cedar St, Cary, NC 27511), Cotton House Craft Brewers (307 S Academy St, Cary, NC 27511), and Fortnight Brewing Company (1006 SW Maynard Rd, Cary, NC 27511) drawing crowds. Organizing a brewery tour or a progressive dinner for a bachelor party, corporate team-building event, or birthday celebration is best done with a driver. Alcohol and driving never mix, and coordinating multiple rideshares for a large group can be expensive and logistically difficult.
When you book a party bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Cary, you have a built-in designated driver for the entire evening. You can build a custom itinerary that hits all your favorite spots, from appetizers in downtown Cary to main courses at Fenton, followed by a nightcap at a local brewery. Our buses come equipped with AUX/Bluetooth sound systems and LED lighting to keep the party atmosphere going between stops. You can enjoy your night out with the peace of mind that everyone in your group will arrive home comfortably. We can even accommodate trips to nearby wineries or distilleries in the greater Triangle area if you wish to expand your tour.
