A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Temple Railroad & Heritage Museum
Located in the historic Santa Fe Depot at 315 W Avenue B, Temple, TX 76501, the Temple Railroad & Heritage Museum is a must-visit destination for history buffs and school groups alike. Temple was founded as a railroad town, and this museum does a fantastic job of preserving that rich history. Inside, you'll find fascinating exhibits detailing the daily life of railroad workers, the expansion of the Santa Fe Railway, and the general history of the region. Outside, visitors can explore vintage locomotives and rolling stock, which is always a hit with kids and train enthusiasts.
When you visit with a group, a charter bus rental is the ideal transportation solution. The museum is located in the heart of downtown Temple, where parking multiple cars can be a hassle, especially during peak hours or special events. With a private bus, your driver can drop your group off right at the front entrance, allowing for easy access for students, seniors, or anyone with mobility concerns. While you explore the exhibits, your bus will park in a designated area nearby, ready to pick you up whenever you're finished. It’s the stress-free way to dive into Temple’s past without worrying about the logistics of the present.
Miller Springs Nature Center
For groups who love the great outdoors, Miller Springs Nature Center is a hidden gem located between the Leon River and the bluffs of Belton Lake. Situated at 2610 Goldfinch Rd, Temple, TX 76502, this 260-acre scenic natural area offers hiking trails, picnic spots, and breathtaking views of the dam and surrounding landscapes. It’s a perfect spot for scout troops, church youth groups, or corporate teams looking for a refreshing break from the office. The trails vary in difficulty, making it accessible for casual walkers and serious hikers alike.
Transporting a large group to a nature center can be complicated if everyone drives separately—getting lost on winding back roads or struggling to find parking in a gravel lot can dampen the mood before the hike even begins. By booking a charter bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Temple, you ensure that everyone arrives at the trailhead together and on time. Your group can store backpacks, hiking gear, and picnic coolers in the spacious undercarriage storage bays of the bus, keeping the cabin clutter-free. After a day of exploring the limestone bluffs and riverbanks, everyone will appreciate climbing back into a climate-controlled bus with reclining seats to rest their legs on the ride home.
Lions Junction Family Water Park
Beat the Texas heat with a group trip to Lions Junction Family Water Park! Located at 5000 S 5th St, Temple, TX 76502, this water park features a lazy river, water slides, a splash pad, and a competition pool, making it a favorite summer destination for summer camps, school end-of-year parties, and family reunions. It’s the perfect place to cool off and let loose, but coordinating transportation for a large group of excited kids and teenagers can be a challenge.
That’s where Charter Bus Rental Company Temple comes in. Instead of organizing a complicated carpool chain where parents have to take time off work to drive, you can rent a comfortable and reliable charter bus to transport the whole group at once. Our buses come equipped with powerful air conditioning—a lifesaver after a long day in the sun—and plenty of overhead storage for towels, sunscreen, and change of clothes. Plus, with onboard entertainment options like flat-screen TVs and DVD players, you can keep the kids entertained with a movie on the way back, giving the chaperones a well-deserved break. Let us handle the driving so you can focus on making a splash!
The Robinson Family Farm
If you are visiting in the fall or during the holidays, a trip to The Robinson Family Farm is an absolute necessity. Located at 2651 Bob White Rd, Temple, TX 76501, this family-owned farm offers seasonal festivals that are perfect for large groups. From their famous pumpkin patch and corn maze in the autumn to Easter egg hunts in the spring and Christmas tree sales in the winter, there is always something happening here. It’s a fantastic destination for school field trips , church groups, and corporate family days.
Parking at popular seasonal attractions can be a nightmare, with cars lined up down the road and limited spaces available. When you rent a charter bus, you skip the parking headache entirely. Your driver will navigate the rural roads and drop your group off right at the entrance gate. While your group enjoys hayrides, barrel trains, and farm games, your driver will handle the vehicle. Plus, if your group picks up pumpkins or Christmas trees, the ample storage space under the bus ensures you have plenty of room to bring your harvest home. Make your seasonal celebration hassle-free with a private shuttle from Charter Bus Rental Company Temple.
Cultural Activities Center
For those seeking a touch of sophistication and art, the Cultural Activities Center (CAC) at 3011 N 3rd St, Temple, TX 76501 is the hub of arts and culture in the region. The CAC hosts everything from Broadway-style musicals and symphony performances to art gallery openings and educational workshops. It is a prime destination for senior citizen groups, school art clubs, and corporate outings looking for a refined evening of entertainment.
Arriving at a performance venue in separate vehicles often leads to the stress of finding parking, paying fees, and trying to meet up in a crowded lobby before the curtain rises. A charter bus rental eliminates all of that. Your group can meet at a central location, board the bus, and enjoy a social ride to the CAC. You can even request a bus with an onboard PA system to give a pre-show briefing or share fun facts about the performance. Your driver will drop you off curbside, so you can head straight to your seats without worrying about the weather or the walk from the parking lot. After the show, your warm (or cool!) bus will be waiting to take you to a post-show dinner or straight back home.
Ralph Sr. and Sunny Wilson Park
Ralph Sr. and Sunny Wilson Park, located at 2205 Curtis B Elliott Dr, Temple, TX 76502, is one of Temple’s premier recreational spaces. This park is a hub for local sports, featuring baseball and softball fields, soccer pitches, and plenty of green space for outdoor activities. It is a frequent destination for traveling sports teams, tournaments, and intramural leagues.
If you are a coach or team manager, you know that keeping a team together is crucial for morale and punctuality. Renting a charter bus for your sports team travel ensures that all your athletes arrive at the fields simultaneously, ready to warm up. Our buses offer plenty of legroom for tall players to stretch out, and the undercarriage storage is perfect for hauling bulky equipment bags, bats, balls, and coolers. With a driver at the wheel, parents can relax and cheer from the stands instead of stressing about traffic on I-35. Whether you are the home team or visiting Temple for a tournament, Charter Bus Rental Company Temple provides the winning transportation strategy you need.
Belton Lake
Just a short drive from Temple, Belton Lake is a recreational paradise offering boating, fishing, swimming, and camping. While there are many access points, groups often head to parks like Temple Lake Park specifically for picnics and lake days. It’s an excellent spot for large company picnics, graduation parties, or extended family gatherings.
Traveling to the lake with a large group requires logistics for food, gear, and people. A charter bus rental simplifies this by providing a single vehicle for all passengers and plenty of cargo space for ice chests, folding chairs, grill supplies, and water toys. Instead of coordinating a convoy of cars and hoping no one gets separated, everyone can ride together, listening to music and getting excited for the day ahead. And after a long day in the sun, no one has to worry about driving home tired; your driver will ensure everyone gets back comfortably. Whether you are heading to the marina or a pavilion, let us handle the transportation so you can enjoy the water.

It’s a fascinating stop for genealogy groups, history classes, and cultural organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Temple Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Temple?
The cost of renting a charter bus in Temple varies based on several factors, including the date of your trip, the duration of the rental, the distance you’ll be traveling, and the size of the bus you need. For example, a rental during the busy spring season might cost slightly more than a trip in the winter. Local trips are billed by the hour (with a minimum hour requirement), while long-distance trips are billed by the day or mile. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our team at 325-307-5576. We can provide you with a free, personalized quote in minutes that includes the driver, fuel, and the bus itself, so you know exactly what to expect for your budget.
Can we drink alcohol on the bus?
Yes, many of our bus rental partners allow alcohol on board, provided that all passengers are of legal drinking age (21+). However, this must be arranged in advance when you book your bus. There may be a refundable damage deposit required for trips involving alcohol to cover any potential cleaning fees. Please note that for the safety of everyone on board, glass bottles are prohibited (cans are preferred), and kegs are not allowed. If you plan to enjoy some beverages on your way to a wedding, winery tour, or bachelor/bachelorette party, just let our reservation specialist know, and we will make sure to pair you with a bus that accommodates your request!
How far in advance should I book my Temple bus rental?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and major details are finalized. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This ensures that you have the best selection of vehicles and get the best possible rate. If you are planning a trip during peak travel times—such as April, May, and June for school trips and weddings —it is wise to book 6 to 9 months ahead. However, we understand that last-minute trips happen! Charter Bus Rental Company Temple has a large network of vehicles, so even if your trip is next week, give us a call . We will do our absolute best to accommodate your group.

Many buses also feature onboard restrooms, which are great for longer trips.
