A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Experience the Carolina Classic Fair
Formerly known as the Dixie Classic Fair, the Carolina Classic Fair is the second-largest agricultural fair in North Carolina and a massive draw for groups from all over the state. Held every autumn at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds (421 27th St NW, Winston-Salem, NC 27105), this event features thrilling rides, livestock shows, live music, and, of course, incredible fair food. However, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors means that parking lots fill up fast, and traffic along University Parkway can be gridlocked. Trying to keep a large group of students, family members, or employees together in that chaos can be a nightmare.
When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Winston-Salem, you can bypass the parking headache entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the entrance gates, allowing you to head straight for the funnel cakes and Ferris wheels. While you enjoy the festivities, your driver will handle the bus parking. When you are ready to leave, tired and happy, your climate-controlled bus will be waiting to take you home safely. We offer everything from 18-passenger minibuses for small family groups to 56-passenger charter buses for large school field trips, ensuring everyone travels in comfort.
Catch Big Acts at the LJVM Coliseum
The Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum (2825 University Pkwy, Winston-Salem, NC 27105), affectionately known as "The Joel," is the premier destination for large-scale concerts and Wake Forest University basketball games. Whether you are rallying a group of alumni to cheer on the Demon Deacons or getting a group of friends together to see a touring rock legend, transportation is key to a good experience. Parking lots at the complex are vast, but they can be expensive and require a long walk to the arena doors. Plus, getting out of the lot after a sold-out show requires patience and navigation skills.
A private party bus or charter bus rental transforms your game day or concert experience. You can turn the ride over to the coliseum into a pre-game tailgate with onboard storage for your coolers and gear. Pump up the excitement by playing hype videos on the flat-screen TVs or blasting your favorite playlist over the PA system. Your driver will handle the traffic on Deacon Boulevard so you can focus on the fun. Once the final buzzer sounds or the encore ends, your group can easily locate your bus and relax in reclining seats for the ride home, avoiding the post-event traffic jam stress.
Film Buffs Unite at the RiverRun International Film Festival
Every spring, Winston-Salem transforms into a cinephile's paradise during the RiverRun International Film Festival. This Academy Award-qualifying festival screens narrative, documentary, and animated films at various venues across the city, including the historic Stevens Center (405 W 4th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) and Hanesbrands Theatre (209 N Spruce St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101). For film clubs, university classes, or groups of movie lovers, trying to coordinate travel between different screening locations and downtown hotels can be difficult, especially with one-way streets and limited street parking in downtown Winston-Salem.
Streamline your festival experience with a dedicated shuttle service from Charter Bus Rental Company Winston-Salem. We can create a custom route that loops between your hotel, the screening venues, and local restaurants on 4th Street. A minibus rental is perfect for navigating the downtown grid, offering quick pickups and drop-offs so you never miss a screening. Your group can discuss the films in the comfort of the bus between stops, utilizing the onboard WiFi to look up actor bios or film reviews. Make your RiverRun experience seamless and sophisticated with private group transportation.
Celebrate Culture at the National Black Theatre Festival
Held biennially, the National Black Theatre Festival turns Winston-Salem into a global stage, attracting over 60,000 visitors to celebrate African American theatre. The event takes over the city, with performances at the M.C. Benton Jr. Convention Center (301 W 5th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) and various other stages. With celebrities, theatre troupes, and fans descending on the city, hotels book up fast, often forcing groups to stay in nearby cities like Greensboro or High Point. Commuting into downtown Winston-Salem for the festival can be time-consuming without a solid plan.
Charter Bus Rental Company Winston-Salem is the ideal partner for theatre troupes and festival attendees. We can provide daily shuttle services from your out-of-town hotel directly to the festival hub. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage for costumes, props, and luggage, making them perfect for performance groups. For attendees, a charter bus offers a cool, relaxing environment to rest between plays and workshops. Let us handle the logistics of moving your group through the festival crowds so you can focus on the incredible art and performances on display.
Live Music at The Ramkat & The Arts District
For a more intimate but equally exciting music experience, The Ramkat (170 W 9th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) in the Industry Hill district is the place to be. This two-level venue hosts everything from bluegrass and rock to Americana and jazz. It is located near the vibrant Downtown Arts District, known for its eclectic galleries and murals. Parking in this revitalized industrial area can be tricky, especially on weekends when the streets are busy with gallery crawls and nightlife.
Rent a sprinter van or a minibus for your night out at The Ramkat. A private bus rental serves as the ultimate designated driver, ensuring everyone in your group gets home comfortably after enjoying drinks at the show or at nearby breweries like Wise Man Brewing. You can plan a full evening itinerary: start with dinner on Trade Street, head to The Ramkat for a show, and finish with late-night snacks—all while your driver waits curbside. Enjoy the nightlife of the Twin City responsibly and in style with Charter Bus Rental Company Winston-Salem.
Gears & Guitars and Cycling Events
Winston-Salem has a rich history with cycling, and the Gears & Guitars festival is a testament to that legacy. Combining professional cycling races with high-energy outdoor concerts, this event typically takes place in the Innovation Quarter, centered around Bailey Park (445 Patterson Ave, Winston-Salem, NC 27101). The streets are closed off for races, making navigation difficult for personal vehicles, and parking garages fill up quickly with spectators.
If you are bringing a group of cycling enthusiasts or a corporate team to enjoy the festivities, a charter bus rental is your best bet. We can drop your group off near the action before the road closures begin. If you are a cycling team participating in the event, our full-size charter buses offer plenty of storage space for bikes and gear in the undercarriage bays. Your team can rest in air-conditioned comfort before the race, away from the heat and the crowds. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Winston-Salem handle the logistics while you enjoy the speed and the sound of this unique Winston-Salem event.
Baseball and Fun at Truist Stadium
There is nothing quite like a summer night watching the Winston-Salem Dash play at Truist Stadium (951 Ballpark Way, Winston-Salem, NC 27101). This minor league baseball stadium offers stunning views of the downtown skyline and a family-friendly atmosphere. It is a popular destination for corporate outings, church groups, and family reunions. However, coordinating a caravan of 20 or 30 cars to the ballpark can be disorganized, and ensuring everyone finds the group in the stands can be a hassle.
Keep your roster together with a charter bus rental. We can pick your group up from your office, church, or community center and drive you straight to the ballpark. A bus rental ensures that latecomers don't hold up the group and that everyone arrives at the first pitch together. After the game (and the Friday night fireworks!), your driver will be ready to take you back. You won't have to worry about navigating the post-game traffic on Broad Street or Business 40. It’s a home run for group travel logistics.

Is there parking available for the bus at these venues?
Parking availability varies by venue. Large venues like the LJVM Coliseum and the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds have dedicated lots for oversized vehicles, though there is usually a fee. For downtown venues like the Stevens Center or The Ramkat, the bus may need to drop passengers off and then park at a designated layover spot or return for pickup later. Your driver will handle the parking logistics, but parking fees are typically the responsibility of the client.
What amenities come standard on a charter bus?
Most of our full-size charter buses come equipped with standard amenities designed for comfort, including reclining seats, air conditioning, and overhead storage. Many buses also feature onboard WiFi, power outlets at every seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and an onboard restroom. If you have specific amenity requests, please let our reservation specialist know when you book so we can pair you with the perfect bus.
How far in advance should I book my bus for a Winston-Salem event?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your event date and estimated headcount. For major events like the Carolina Classic Fair or university graduations, demand is high, so booking 3 to 6 months in advance is advisable to ensure availability and the best rates. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us anytime!
