Modern Party Buses & Charter Buses for Raleigh Concerts

raleigh modern party buses and charter buses for raleigh concerts

That's the magic of renting a private concert bus in Raleigh: your driver handles the venue gridlock and parking headaches while your whole group rides together! Heading to an outdoor amphitheater show at Red Hat Amphitheater? Your driver can navigate downtown closures along S. McDowell Street and drop your group off right near the gates at 500 S. McDowell St. before staging away from the post-encore rush. If you have floor seats at Lenovo Center (formerly PNC Arena), your bus can bypass the long rideshare lines off Edwards Mill Road and Trinity Road using designated oversized vehicle zones. Catching an indie set at Lincoln Theatre on Cabarrus Street or a symphony performance at Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts? Step right off at the curb and straight to the box office!

Private Bus Rentals for Concert Nights Out & Pre-Gaming

raleigh private bus rentals for concert nights out and pre gaming

On a concert night out in the Triangle, the party shouldn't have to wait until the opening act takes the stage! Book an hourly or multi-stop private event bus rental to hit your favorite pre-game spots in Glenwood South, Fayetteville Street, or the Warehouse District before heading to the venue. Your group can grab dinner and drinks at Transfer Co. Food Hall or Morgan Street Food Hall, then climb aboard a party bus with your favorite playlist blasting over the Bluetooth speakers! Nobody has tovolunteer as the designated driver or hike six blocks in the rain from a packed downtown parking deck. Fill out our 30-second form to lock in your night out!

Custom-Scheduled Hotel Pickups for Concert Groups

raleigh custom scheduled hotel pickups for concert groups

Choose a custom-built shuttle route that picks up your fan group or festival group right outside their hotel lobby! Whether your friends are staying at The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary, Raleigh Marriott City Center on Fayetteville Street, or hotels throughout North Hills, your private shuttle runs on YOUR exact schedule. During multi-day music festivals like Hopscotch Music Festival across downtown venues or Dreamville Festival at Dorothea Dix Park, parking around Lake Wheeler Road and Western Boulevard is virtually nonexistent. Instead of waiting on crowded public shuttles, your group can hop aboard an air-conditioned 20-passenger minibus or full-size motorcoach that loops between your hotel and the festival gates all weekend long. And after you reserve online, our confirmation department calls to verify every hotel pickup address and timetable!

Does Raleighshuttlebuscompany.com own the buses in its network?

You compare options from one of the largest networks of independent bus companies in Raleigh and North Carolina, book online through one of America's largest national booking platforms, and ride with a local provider!

Where do concert buses drop off and park at Walnut Creek and Red Hat Amphitheater?

At Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, charter buses and party buses unload passengers and park in designated oversized vehicle areas inside the main lots off Rock Quarry Road. At Red Hat Amphitheater in downtown Raleigh, buses drop groups curbside along S. McDowell Street or W. Davie Street and stage at off-site commercial surface lots until the encore ends.

Can I book a same-day bus rental if a concert is tonight?

Yes! Because our network connects you with dozens of independent bus operators across Raleigh and the Research Triangle rather than a single fleet, you can find and book same-day concert transportation in minutes using our 30-second online quote form.
