A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Alexandria Zoological Park
As one of the most popular group destinations in Central Louisiana, the Alexandria Zoological Park is a must-visit for school field trips, family reunions, and youth organizations. Located at 3016 Masonic Dr, Alexandria, LA 71301, this zoo is home to over 500 animals representing 160 species from across the globe. From the majestic tigers of the Land of the Tiger exhibit to the playful primates in the African Experience, there is something to inspire learners of all ages. When you travel with Charter Bus Rental Company Alexandria, your driver will navigate the busy Masonic Drive entrance and drop your passengers off directly at the main gate, avoiding the long walk from the overflow parking lots near the youth baseball complex.
Our charter buses are the perfect upgrade from a standard yellow school bus for your next field trip. While your students enjoy the ride, they can watch educational documentaries on our onboard flat-screen TVs or complete digital worksheets using our high-speed WiFi. The Alexandria Zoo is an expansive 33-acre facility, and after a long day of walking through the Australian Walkabout and the Louisiana Habitat, your group will be grateful for the plush, reclining seats and powerful air conditioning waiting for them in the parking lot. Chaperones and teachers can use the onboard PA system to perform quick headcounts and make announcements before heading to your next stop. Since 2011, we have worked with countless schools in Alexandria and Pineville to provide reliable and comfortable transportation for thousands of students. Trust the experts who know the best routes to take your little explorers on a wild adventure!
Kent Plantation House
Experience the history of Central Louisiana at the Kent Plantation House, located at 3601 Bayou Rapides Rd, Alexandria, LA 71303. This historic site is the oldest standing structure in Central Louisiana, completed in 1800, and offers a glimpse into colonial life with its authentic outbuildings, including a sugar mill, blacksmith shop, and open-hearth kitchen. The grounds of the Kent Plantation House are absolutely stunning, making it a premier destination for wedding ceremonies and high-profile corporate luncheons. When you rent a charter bus or minibus for your group, you ensure that everyone arrives together and on time for their scheduled tour, without the hassle of navigating the winding Bayou Rapides Road individually.
If you are planning a wedding at Kent House, our shuttle services are a lifesaver for out-of-town guests staying at hotels near MacArthur Drive or the downtown Alexandria area. Rather than worrying about guests getting lost on the way to the Bayou Rapides area, let Charter Bus Rental Company Alexandria provide a sleek, all-black or all-white shuttle fleet. Your loved ones can relax in climate-controlled cabins, share photos of the ceremony using free WiFi, and celebrate responsibly knowing they have a built-in designated driver for the entire evening. For historical tour groups, the ample storage space on our full-size motorcoaches allows you to store souvenirs or picnic lunches for a full day of sightseeing. We have served thousands of groups since 2011, and we take pride in providing the professionalism and punctuality that a historic venue of this caliber requires.
Alexandria Museum of Art
The Alexandria Museum of Art (AMoA) is the cultural cornerstone of the downtown riverfront district. Situated at 933 2nd St, Alexandria, LA 71301, the museum occupies the historic Rapides Bank and Trust Building and features a diverse collection of Southern art, contemporary exhibitions, and the world’s largest collection of Northern Thai Luang Prabang Buddha images. Traveling downtown can often be stressful due to limited street parking and one-way grids, but a private minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Alexandria simplifies the process. Your driver will handle the logistics of the downtown streets while your group focuses on the incredible art and architecture.
The AMoA is a perfect stop for university art programs, senior community outings, and corporate team-building events. We can coordinate a drop-off at the 2nd Street entrance, providing your passengers with easy access to the galleries. After your museum tour, your driver can take your group to local favorites like the Diamond Grill or any of the quaint eateries along the Red River for a celebratory meal. With features like power outlets at every seat and comfortable leatherette upholstery, your creative crew can stay inspired and connected while on the road.

Located at 503 Washington St, Alexandria, LA 71301, the museum houses extensive archives and exhibits covering the history of Alexandria, Rapides Parish, and the state as a whole—from Native American artifacts to World War II memorabilia. The museum is located in the heart of downtown, making it a perfect hub for a multi-stop historical walking tour. However, moving a large group from the history museum to nearby sites like the Arna Bontemps Museum can be exhausting on foot, especially in the summer heat.
Renting a charter bus allows your group to move from stop to stop in climate-controlled comfort. Our buses feature oversized panoramic windows, perfect for sightseeing as you drive through the Garden District or past the historic homes of downtown Alexandria. Your driver will manage the traffic on Washington Street and Jackson Street, ensuring that your group stays together and on schedule.

T.R.E.E. House Children's Museum
The T.R.E.E. House (Traditional Resources for Environmental Education) is Alexandria’s favorite destination for early childhood learning and interactive play. Located at 1403 3rd St, Alexandria, LA 71301, this museum offers hands-on exhibits that focus on science, mathematics, and the environment. It is a frequent choice for preschool field trips, scout troops, and birthday parties. Because this venue is geared toward young children, comfort and supervision are the top priorities. Booking a private charter bus rental through Charter Bus Rental Company Alexandria ensures that all children, teachers, and chaperones travel in a single vehicle, making it much easier to keep track of everyone than with multiple parent-driven cars.
Our buses come equipped with modern safety features and amenities that kids love. Request a bus with a DVD player and TV screens to play their favorite animated movies during the drive, and use the overhead storage bins to keep backpacks and lunchboxes out of the aisles. The T.R.E.E. House is located on a busy stretch of 3rd Street, and the drivers know exactly where to stage the bus for a quick unloading process. After the kids have burned off their energy at the exhibits, they can settle into plush seats for a quiet ride back to school. Educators can also utilize the onboard WiFi to share real-time updates and photos with parents.

This center consists of two buildings: the historic Bolton House and a modern studio annex, housing more than 30 resident artists and offering a wide array of workshops and exhibitions. This is a fantastic location for community groups, garden clubs, and collegiate art students looking for inspiration.

If your group is attending an evening "Art Walk" or a weekend workshop, we can arrange for late-night pickups so everyone gets home comfortably.

Arna Bontemps African American Museum
Located in the childhood home of the legendary poet and author Arna Bontemps, this museum is a vital site for understanding African American literature and culture in the South. You can find the museum at 1327 3rd St, Alexandria, LA 71301. The museum hosts various literary events, educational programs, and exhibits that honor the Harlem Renaissance and Bontemps’ legacy. Because it is located near other downtown attractions, it is often included in a broader city tour. A private charter bus rental is the smartest way to organize these tours, ensuring that your group doesn't have to worry about finding parking in the residential-to-commercial transition zone of 3rd Street.
The Arna Bontemps Museum is a favorite for church groups, historical societies, and university literature departments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Alexandria Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Alexandria, LA?
The cost of a charter bus rental in Alexandria depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle you choose, the duration of your trip, the distance traveled, and the time of year. Local trips are billed at an hourly rate with a 4-to-5-hour minimum, while long-distance or multi-day trips are billed at a daily or per-mile rate. Because every quote is personalized to your unique itinerary, the best way to get an accurate price is to call our team at 337-362-6030. We provide transparent, all-inclusive quotes. You won’t have to worry about extra fees—what we quote is what you pay!
How far in advance should I book my bus in Alexandria?
To ensure the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive pricing, we recommend booking your Alexandria charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important if you are traveling during peak seasons, such as the spring field trip months (April–June), the fall wedding season, or during major local events like Mardi Gras celebrations or conventions at the Riverfront Center. While we can often accommodate last-minute requests, booking early allows us to match you with the exact amenities and bus size you prefer. A deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your vehicle and date.
What types of buses are available in the Alexandria area?
Charter Bus Rental Company Alexandria offers one of the most diverse fleets in Louisiana to meet the needs of any group. Our options include 15-passenger sprinter vans and minibuses, 18-35 passenger mid-size shuttle buses, and full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches. We also offer luxurious party buses for special celebrations like bachelor parties or prom. Each vehicle type comes with its own set of amenities, from basic climate control and comfortable seating to premium features like WiFi, power outlets, flat-screen TVs, and onboard restrooms on larger models. Let us know your headcount and we will help you find the most efficient and comfortable fit for your budget.
Why should I choose Charter Bus Rental Company Alexandria over public transit or rideshares?
Choosing a private charter bus rental offers flexibility and reliability that public transit and rideshares simply cannot match for groups. Public buses in Alexandria (ATR) operate on fixed routes and schedules, which may not align with your specific destinations. Rideshares can be expensive for large groups, and there is no guarantee that multiple drivers will be available at the same time or that you will all arrive together. With a private bus, you set the itinerary, the pickup locations, and the schedule. You have a dedicated vehicle and driver for your group's exclusive use, ensuring everyone travels together, arrives on time, and enjoys a much higher level of comfort and privacy. Since 2011, we have been providing this premium level of service to thousands of satisfied customers across the state.
