A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Old Idaho Penitentiary
For history buffs and educational groups, the Old Idaho Penitentiary is a must-visit destination. Located at 2445 Old Penitentiary Rd, Boise, ID 83712, this historic site served as a prison from 1872 to 1973 and now offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Groups can explore the solitary confinement cells, the gallows, and the beautiful rose gardens that ironically bloom within the prison walls. It’s a popular spot for school field trips and private history tours.
Parking at the "Old Pen" can be limited, especially during peak tourist season or special events like "Frightened Felons." By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Boise, you eliminate the stress of finding multiple parking spots. Your driver can drop your group right at the entrance gate for your scheduled tour and park the bus in the designated oversized vehicle area nearby. After you’ve soaked up the history, your climate-controlled bus will be waiting to whisk you away to your next stop, perhaps a lunch at the nearby Warm Springs Golf Course.
Boise River Greenbelt
The Boise River Greenbelt is the heart of the city's outdoor life, stretching 25 miles along the Boise River. It links major parks and attractions, making it a fantastic destination for active groups. Whether you want to start at Julia Davis Park (700 S Capitol Blvd, Boise, ID 83702) or Ann Morrison Park (1000 S Americana Blvd, Boise, ID 83706), the Greenbelt offers lush scenery and paved paths perfect for walking or biking.
Logistically, the Greenbelt is linear, which can make car travel tricky if you want to walk a long segment without doubling back. A charter bus rental offers the ultimate flexibility here. We can drop your group off at one end—say, near Barber Park—and pick you up miles downriver at Kathryn Albertson Park. This point-to-point service allows your group to experience more of the scenery without the fatigue of walking back to cars. Plus, our buses have ample storage bays underneath, so if your group is renting bikes or bringing picnic gear, there is plenty of room to stow everything securely while you explore.
Albertsons Stadium
Home to the Boise State University Broncos, Albertsons Stadium is famous worldwide for its iconic blue turf. Located at 1400 Bronco Ln, Boise, ID 83706, this is the place to be on game day. The energy is electric, but the traffic around University Drive and Broadway Avenue can be a nightmare. Parking lots fill up hours before kickoff, and fees can be steep.
When you rent a charter bus for a sporting event with Charter Bus Rental Company Boise, you upgrade your game day experience instantly. We provide transportation for fan groups, alumni associations, and even visiting teams. Your bus becomes your mobile tailgate headquarters, with plenty of undercarriage storage for grills, coolers, chairs, and cornhole boards. Your driver will navigate the road closures and heavy traffic, dropping your group off within walking distance of the stadium. After the Broncos secure a win, you can skip the post-game gridlock stress and relax in reclining seats as we drive you safely home or to a victory dinner downtown.
World Center for Birds of Prey
Located south of the city at 5668 W Flying Hawk Ln, Boise, ID 83709, the World Center for Birds of Prey is a unique attraction dedicated to the conservation of raptors. It’s a bit of a drive from the city center, but well worth it to see falcons, eagles, and condors up close. This is a top destination for STEM field trips and nature enthusiasts.
Because this location is a bit further out, comfort on the road is key. Our charter buses are equipped with amenities to make the journey fly by. Use the onboard WiFi to look up facts about the Peregrine Falcon before you arrive, or use the PA system to brief students on what they are about to see. With panoramic windows, your group can enjoy the views of the high desert landscape on the way. We handle the navigation so your chaperones and tour leaders can focus entirely on the educational experience.
Idaho State Capitol
Standing tall at 700 W Jefferson St, Boise, ID 83702, the Idaho State Capitol is a stunning example of Renaissance Revival architecture and a central hub for government and history. Groups often visit to tour the rotunda, see the legislative chambers, and learn about Idaho’s political history. It is a staple for fourth-grade field trips across the state.
Driving a caravan of cars into downtown Boise during the legislative session is difficult due to limited street parking and busy one-way streets. A charter bus rental simplifies this entirely. We can arrange a drop-off right on Jefferson Street, allowing your group to step out directly in front of the Capitol steps for a group photo before heading inside. Your driver will then relocate to a designated bus parking zone and return exactly when your tour concludes. This door-to-door service keeps your itinerary tight and ensures no one gets lost finding the building.
Zoo Boise
Nestled within Julia Davis Park at 355 Julia Davis Dr, Boise, ID 83702, Zoo Boise is a fantastic destination for younger groups, families, and conservationists. It connects visitors with animals from around the world and focuses heavily on wildlife conservation. Whether you are planning a birthday party, a corporate family day, or a school outing, the zoo is a crowd-pleaser.
Julia Davis Park is a hub for several museums, meaning the parking lots can get extremely crowded, especially on weekends. By booking a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Boise, you bypass the parking hunt entirely. We can drop your group at the main entrance, ensuring safe loading and unloading away from traffic. If you have a large group requiring multiple buses, we can coordinate a fleet to ensure everyone arrives simultaneously. Inside the bus, overhead bins provide the perfect spot to stash lunches and backpacks until they are needed.
Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area
Just 16 miles north of the city at 2600 N Bogus Basin Rd, Boise, ID 83702, Bogus Basin offers year-round recreation, from skiing and snowboarding in the winter to mountain biking and the mountain coaster in the summer. The road up to Bogus Basin is famous for its twists and turns, which can be daunting for drivers unfamiliar with mountain terrain.
Safety is our priority at Charter Bus Rental Company Boise. The drivers will handle winding mountain roads and varying weather conditions, letting your group relax and enjoy the incredible views of the Treasure Valley below. Our full-size charter buses have massive undercarriage luggage bays, perfect for storing skis, snowboards, boots, and heavy winter gear. Instead of cramming into personal vehicles with equipment on your laps, your group can stretch out in a warm, climate-controlled cabin. We make your ski trip or summer retreat transportation seamless and stress-free.
The Basque Block
Boise is home to one of the largest Basque communities in the United States, and the Basque Block is the cultural epicenter. Located on Grove Street between 6th and Capitol Blvd, this vibrant area features the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, restaurants serving authentic paella and pintxos, and the lively Basque Market. It’s an excellent destination for cultural tours and foodies.
If your group plans on enjoying the wine and spirits that are a large part of Basque culinary culture, a charter bus rental is essential. We provide a built-in designated driver for your entire group. You can sample regional wines and kalimotxo without worrying about who is driving home. The streets in this historic area are pedestrian-friendly and narrow, but the drivers know the best adjacent spots to drop off your group so you can walk straight onto the block and start celebrating.
