A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Granville Arts Center & The Plaza Theatre
For those who appreciate the performing arts right here in town, the Granville Arts Center (300 N 5th St, Garland, TX 75040) and the historic Plaza Theatre (521 W State St, Garland, TX 75040) are the crown jewels of Garland’s cultural district. These venues host everything from Broadway-style musicals and symphony concerts to local plays and community events. Organizing a trip for a senior center, a school theater department, or a large group of arts enthusiasts? A charter bus rental is the perfect solution. The Granville Arts Center features two proscenium theatres, and coordinating arrival times for a large group in separate cars can be a logistical headache, especially when trying to navigate downtown Garland parking during peak showtimes.
With a private shuttle from Charter Bus Garland, your group can be dropped off right at the entrance of the complex. There is no need for your group members to walk long distances or worry about finding a spot in the adjacent lots. Our buses are equipped with climate control to keep everyone cool in the Texas heat and plush, reclining seats to ensure comfort before the curtain rises. After the standing ovation, your driver will be waiting curbside to take you to a post-show dinner at a local favorite like Intrinsic Smokehouse & Brewery or back home.
Curtis Culwell Center: Graduations and Major Events
The Curtis Culwell Center (4999 Naaman Forest Blvd, Garland, TX 75040) is one of the busiest multi-purpose arenas in the region, hosting everything from high school graduations for Garland ISD to major concerts, trade shows, and athletic tournaments. If you have ever attended a graduation or a sold-out event here, you know that traffic on Naaman Forest Boulevard can come to a standstill. Whether you are a school administrator arranging transport for the band and faculty or a large extended family wanting to arrive together for a graduation ceremony, Charter Bus Garland has the fleet to accommodate you.
Renting a full-size charter bus for events at the Curtis Culwell Center ensures that your group stays together. For graduations, families often fly in from out of town; picking them up from DFW International Airport or Dallas Love Field and shuttling them directly to their hotel and then the event venue streamlines the entire weekend. Our buses offer ample undercarriage storage, perfect for transporting musical instruments, sports equipment, or luggage. Plus, with onboard WiFi, passengers can share photos of the big day in real-time without draining their data.
Concerts at Dos Equis Pavilion
Just a short drive south of Garland lies one of the premier outdoor music venues in Texas: the Dos Equis Pavilion (1818 1st Ave, Dallas, TX 75210) in Fair Park. This amphitheater hosts the biggest names in music, from country legends to rock icons and hip-hop superstars. However, the open-air nature of the venue means summer concerts can be hot, and the parking situation at Fair Park can be notoriously difficult and expensive. A party bus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Garland transforms the concert experience from a hassle into a VIP event.
Start the tailgating party the moment you step on the bus! Our vehicles allow you to bring your own coolers, drinks, and snacks on board. You can blast your favorite tracks from the performing artist over the bus’s premium sound system via AUX or Bluetooth connection while your driver navigates the traffic on I-30. Once you arrive, you can skip the long walk from the back of the parking lot; your driver can drop you off near the gates. Knowing you have a designated driver waiting for you after the encore means everyone in your group can enjoy adult beverages responsibly. Whether you need a minibus for a bachelor party or a coach bus for a corporate outing, we have the ride for you.
American Airlines Center (AAC)
For major arena tours, NBA games, and NHL matches, Garland residents flock to the American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Ave, Dallas, TX 75219). Located in the heart of Victory Park, the AAC is a world-class venue, but driving there from Garland during rush hour can be daunting. Between the congestion on US-75 and the high cost of garage parking, driving yourself is rarely the best option for a large group. Charter Bus Garland provides door-to-door service to the AAC, making it easy to attend Mavericks games, Stars games, or concerts by global pop stars.
Booking a private shuttle allows you to turn the commute into part of the fun. Your group can relax in air-conditioned comfort, utilize onboard power outlets to charge phones before the event, and socialize without the distraction of navigation. If you are planning a corporate suite night, a sleek black minibus or sprinter van sets a professional tone. For larger fan groups, a 56-passenger motorcoach keeps everyone together. We can also arrange for your driver to pick you up after the event for a late dinner in the Victory Park area or Deep Ellum before heading back to Garland.
Festivals in Historic Downtown Garland
Downtown Garland is undergoing a renaissance, and the historic square is the focal point for amazing community events like "Christmas on the Square," the "Sounds of Summer" concert series, and various cultural festivals throughout the year. Parking in the immediate downtown area is limited, especially during festivals when streets are closed off for pedestrian traffic. For church groups, community organizations, or large families attending these local festivities, a shuttle bus rental is the ultimate convenience.
Charter Bus Garland can arrange a shuttle service that loops from a designated off-site parking lot or community center directly to the festival grounds. This is particularly helpful for groups with elderly members or small children who may find walking long distances difficult. Our buses can come equipped with ADA-accessible features upon request, ensuring everyone in your community can participate in the fun. Enjoy the live music, food trucks, and local vendors without circling the block for thirty minutes looking for a parking spot.
Toyota Music Factory
Located in nearby Irving, the Toyota Music Factory (316 W Las Colinas Blvd, Irving, TX 75039) has quickly become a favorite entertainment destination for Garland residents. With its flexible indoor/outdoor amphitheater, The Pavilion, and a massive plaza filled with restaurants and bars, it is a prime spot for a full night out. However, the drive across the metroplex on I-635 can be unpredictable. Charter Bus Garland offers the reliable transportation you need to enjoy a show at the Music Factory without the road rage.
This venue is perfect for bachelor and bachelorette parties or birthday celebrations. Renting a party bus for a night at the Toyota Music Factory allows your group to hop between the bars at the Texas Lottery Plaza and the concert venue safely. Your driver serves as your built-in designated driver for the entire evening. With amenities like LED lighting and wraparound seating available on select party buses, the energy stays high from the moment you leave Garland until you return home.
Dickies Arena & Fort Worth Events
Sometimes the event you want to see is on the other side of the Metroplex. Dickies Arena (1911 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, TX 76107) in Fort Worth hosts rodeos, major concerts, and NCAA tournaments. The drive from Garland to Fort Worth can take over an hour, depending on traffic. Don't force your group to split up into a caravan of cars for such a long haul. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Garland turns a long drive into a bonding experience.
On a long-distance trip across the DFW area, the comfort of a full-size charter bus is unmatched. Passengers can utilize the onboard restroom, minimizing the need for pit stops. They can also watch movies on the overhead TV screens or catch up on work using the onboard WiFi. Whether you are heading to the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo or a concert at Billy Bob's Texas, let us handle the miles while you relax. We can even plan a multi-stop itinerary, allowing you to grab BBQ in Fort Worth before the show and ensuring a safe ride back to Garland afterward.

Just let us know in advance if you have an excessive amount of gear so we can ensure the bus we reserve for you has sufficient capacity.
How far in advance should we book our bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your event details confirmed. For major events in the DFW area, such as big-name concerts, playoff games, or during prom and wedding season (April through June), availability can fill up quickly. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best selection of vehicles and pricing. However, Charter Bus Garland serves last-minute requests whenever possible, so do not hesitate to call us at 945-294-2650 even if your trip is just around the corner!
