A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House
For architecture enthusiasts and history buffs, a visit to the Westcott House is non-negotiable. Designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright in 1908, this Prairie Style home is a stunning example of American architecture. It is the only Frank Lloyd Wright prairie house in Ohio that is open to the public for tours, making it a significant cultural landmark. Your group will marvel at the horizontal lines, the integration with nature, and the meticulous restoration that brought this home back to its original glory.
Located in a residential area on East High Street, parking can sometimes be tricky for multiple vehicles. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield, your driver can drop your group off right at the curb in front of the visitor center. While your group enjoys a docent-led tour learning about the Darwin D. Martin House's "sister" house, your driver will handle the parking logistics. This is particularly beneficial for architectural student groups or senior tour groups who want to minimize walking distances.

Hartman Rock Garden
Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, the Hartman Rock Garden is one of the nation's most intriguing examples of visionary folk art. Created by Ben Hartman during the Great Depression, this site features hundreds of structures, figures, and landscapes crafted entirely from stone, glass, and concrete. It is a whimsical, open-air museum that transports visitors into a miniature world of castles, cathedrals, and historical scenes. It is a fantastic destination for art classes, photography clubs, and anyone who appreciates unique, off-the-beaten-path attractions.
The Hartman Rock Garden is located on a residential street where parking a convoy of cars is not ideal and can disturb the neighbors. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for this intimate venue. Your group can travel together, discussing the history of self-taught art on the way. Once you arrive, you can disembark while your driver finds a suitable spot to wait. After exploring the garden, everyone can hop back into a cool, air-conditioned bus—a welcome relief during humid Ohio summers.

The Heritage Center of Clark County
Occupying a massive, city-block-long building that once served as the City Hall and Marketplace, the Heritage Center of Clark County is a showstopper before you even step inside. The Richardsonian Romanesque architecture is breathtaking. Inside, the museum spans thousands of square feet of exhibits detailing the history of Clark County, from the National Road to local industry and military history. It is a comprehensive look at the region's past and a staple for educational field trips in the area.
If you are organizing a school field trip or a large historical society tour, the Heritage Center is a must. Coordinating thirty students or fifty history buffs in cars is a nightmare. With a 56-passenger charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield, you keep the entire group accountable and together. Teachers and chaperones love our buses because they can utilize the onboard PA system to give briefings about the exhibits before arrival. Plus, the museum is located downtown, so having a driver navigate the city streets while you prepare for the tour makes the day run smoothly.
Location: 117 S Fountain Ave, Springfield, OH 45502
Buck Creek State Park
For groups looking to enjoy the great outdoors, Buck Creek State Park offers over 4,000 acres of land and water. Centered around the C.J. Brown Reservoir, the park is a hub for boating, fishing, swimming, and hiking. It is an ideal spot for company picnics, family reunions, or youth group outings. There are ample picnic areas and shelters that can be reserved, making it easy to host a large lunch or dinner al fresco.
Outdoor events usually require gear. Whether it's coolers full of food for a reunion barbecue, sports equipment for a team-building day, or fishing tackle, you need space. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage luggage bays. You can stow all your supplies securely underneath the bus, keeping the cabin clutter-free for your passengers. After a long day of hiking or swimming, there is nothing better than sinking into a reclining seat in a climate-controlled bus for the ride home, rather than driving back tired.
Location: 1976 Buck Creek Ln, Springfield, OH 45502
Springfield Museum of Art
As the only art museum in Ohio to be named a Smithsonian Affiliate, the Springfield Museum of Art is a cultural gem. Located within Cliff Park, the museum features a dynamic schedule of changing exhibitions as well as a permanent collection focusing on American art. The museum offers various educational programs and workshops, making it a dynamic destination for school groups and art appreciation societies.
Art tours are more enjoyable when the group can discuss what they are about to see and debrief on what they just experienced. A private charter bus rental serves as a mobile classroom or meeting space. You can utilize the onboard DVD players and monitors to show a documentary about an artist featured at the museum while en route. Furthermore, drop-off at the main entrance ensures that guests with mobility issues have easy access to the facility without navigating a large parking lot.
Location: 107 Cliff Park Rd, Springfield, OH 45504
Young's Jersey Dairy
While technically just down the road in Yellow Springs, no group trip to the Springfield area is complete without a stop at Young's Jersey Dairy. It is more than just a farm; it is a full-blown entertainment destination. Famous for their homemade ice cream and cheese curds, Young's also offers two miniature golf courses, batting cages, a petting zoo, and a fast-service restaurant. It is a perennial favorite for end-of-year school trips, sports team celebrations, and casual corporate outings.
Young's attracts huge crowds, especially on weekends and summer evenings. Trying to coordinate a meet-up spot for 20 different cars in a busy gravel lot can consume valuable time. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield, your group arrives together, ready to eat and play. We can easily accommodate large groups, and the bus provides a central meeting point. Plus, the under-bus storage is perfect for storing prizes won at the batting cages or leftovers from a delicious meal.
Location: 6880 Springfield-Xenia Rd, Yellow Springs, OH 45387
Clark State Performing Arts Center
The Clark State Performing Arts Center, home to the Kuss Auditorium, brings high-caliber entertainment to Springfield. From Broadway touring companies and the Springfield Symphony Orchestra to country music stars and comedians, the schedule is packed with diverse talent. It is a premier destination for groups looking for an elegant evening out or a matinee performance.
Attending a show should feel like a VIP experience. Whether you are a senior living community attending a symphony or a student group seeing a play, a charter bus adds a layer of luxury. Your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance on South Fountain Avenue, allowing you to avoid walking in evening wear during inclement weather. You avoid the post-show traffic jam in the parking garage, as your bus will be waiting curbside to whisk you away to a post-show dinner or back home.
Location: 300 S Fountain Ave, Springfield, OH 45506
Heart of Ohio Antique Center
As one of the largest antique malls in the country, the Heart of Ohio Antique Center is a shopper's paradise. With over 122,000 square feet and hundreds of dealers, you can find everything from vintage furniture and classic toys to rare collectibles and retro clothing. It sits conveniently right off I-70, making it an easy stop for groups passing through or a dedicated destination for serious collectors.
Serious shopping requires serious cargo space. If your group is planning a day of antiquing, you do not want to be limited by the trunk space of a sedan. Our full-size charter buses offer massive undercarriage storage bays. Did you find a beautiful vintage chair or a large set of china? We have the room to transport it safely. A bus trip to the Antique Center is perfect for senior groups or antique clubs who want to shop 'til they drop and then relax in a comfortable, reclining seat on the ride home.
Location: 4785 E National Rd, Springfield, OH 45505

Frequently Asked Questions About Springfield Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Springfield, OH?
Charter bus rental costs vary based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the distance traveled, and the time of year. For example, a local trip within Springfield for a few hours will cost less than a multi-day trip to Cleveland or Cincinnati. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our reservation specialists at 937-206-2010. We can provide a free, personalized quote in less than a minute based on your specific itinerary.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Yes, in most cases, you are welcome to bring food and drinks on board our buses. We want you to be comfortable! We generally ask that you avoid glass containers and messy foods (like soup or ice cream without lids) to keep the bus clean for your group and future passengers. Your driver will appreciate your help in keeping the bus tidy!
How far in advance should we book our bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and itinerary are finalized. For the best availability and pricing, try to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance. The spring and summer months are particularly busy for weddings, school trips, and family reunions, so booking early ensures you get the exact vehicle you need. However, if you have a last-minute trip, don't hesitate to call us—Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield is often able to accommodate short-notice requests!
Do you service areas outside of Springfield?
Absolutely! While we love our home in Springfield, Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield is a statewide service provider. We can take your group anywhere in Ohio, including Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Cleveland. We also handle long-distance trips out of state. Whether you are heading to a sports tournament in Indianapolis or a class trip to Washington D.C., we have the fleet and the drivers to get you there comfortably.
Is there parking for the bus at these attractions?
Most of the major attractions in Springfield, such as the Heritage Center, Buck Creek State Park, and Young's Jersey Dairy, have ample space or designated areas for bus parking. For venues with tighter constraints, like residential areas near the Westcott House, your driver will drop your group off at the entrance and then park the bus at a designated off-site location, returning to pick you up at the agreed-upon time. You never have to worry about finding a spot—that is your driver's job!
