A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Figge Art Museum
As the premier art exhibition facility between Chicago and Des Moines, the Figge Art Museum (225 W 2nd St, Davenport, IA 52801) is a must-visit destination for cultural groups, school field trips , and private tours. Housed in a stunning glass building designed by British architect David Chipperfield, the museum towers over the Mississippi River, offering views that are almost as impressive as the art inside. The collection includes more than 4,000 works, ranging from Colonial Mexican art to the Grant Wood Archive.
When you book a charter bus rental to the Figge Art Museum, you eliminate the hassle of finding downtown parking, which can be scarce during peak hours or special exhibitions. Your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance on 2nd Street, allowing for safe and immediate access to the galleries. While you explore the rotating exhibits or attend an educational workshop, your bus will handle the parking logistics. This is particularly beneficial for school groups, as our charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage for backpacks and lunches, keeping the aisles clear and students comfortable. After your tour, relax in a climate-controlled cabin as you head to your next destination, perhaps a lunch spot in the nearby downtown district.
Modern Woodmen Park
If you are looking for a quintessential American experience, gathering your group for a Quad Cities River Bandits game at Modern Woodmen Park (209 S Gaines St, Davenport, IA 52801) is the answer. Frequently voted one of the best minor league ballparks in the country, this stadium offers more than just baseball; it features a 105-foot tall Ferris wheel, a carousel, and diverse concession options, all set against the backdrop of the Centennial Bridge and the Mississippi River.
Game days can draw large crowds, leading to congested traffic on River Drive and limited parking availability in the immediate vicinity. By securing a sporting event charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Davenport , you can tailgate with your group without the worry of designating drivers or splitting up into multiple vehicles. Your bus can drop you off near the stadium gates, so you don't have to walk long distances in the summer heat. Whether you are a corporate group enjoying a suite for the evening or a youth league team celebrating a great season, a private shuttle ensures everyone arrives together, on time for the first pitch, and gets home safely after the final inning. Plus, with onboard storage, there is plenty of room for your gloves, banners, and tailgating gear.
Putnam Museum and Science Center
For more than 150 years, the Putnam Museum and Science Center (1717 W 12th St, Davenport, IA 52804) has been sparking curiosity in visitors of all ages. This massive facility features interactive science exhibits, regional history displays, and an immersive Giant Screen Theater. It is a top destination for school field trips in Davenport, offering hands-on learning experiences that cover everything from ancient Egypt to the ecosystems of the Mississippi River.
Transporting a large number of students and chaperones requires coordination and safety, which is exactly what Charter Bus Rental Company Davenport provides. Skip the traditional yellow school bus and upgrade to a modern charter bus rental for your next educational outing. Our buses come equipped with features like DVD players and flat-screen monitors, allowing you to play educational documentaries en route to the museum to get students engaged before they even step off the bus. With comfortable seating and air conditioning, students will arrive rested and ready to learn. Your driver will handle the navigation through the residential neighborhoods surrounding the museum, ensuring a smooth drop-off and pick-up process at the designated group entrance.
Vander Veer Botanical Park
Established in 1885, Vander Veer Botanical Park (215 W Central Park Ave, Davenport, IA 52803) is one of the first botanical parks west of the Mississippi River. This 33-acre gem is famous for its Conservatory, the Stone Fountain, and its spectacular annual flower shows, including the spring bulb display and the winter poinsettia lights. It is a serene location perfect for senior citizen outings, photography clubs, and wedding parties looking for a beautiful backdrop.
Visiting Vander Veer with a group is a delightful experience, but coordinating arrival times for multiple cars can disrupt the peaceful atmosphere. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for navigating the park's surroundings. Your group can enjoy a scenic drive to the park, utilizing large panoramic windows to take in the greenery before disembarking. If you are planning a wedding in Davenport , Vander Veer is a popular spot for photos. A wedding shuttle bus rental ensures your entire bridal party stays together, keeping your photography schedule on track. Your driver can wait nearby while you stroll through the Rose Garden or the Hosta Glade, ready to whisk you away to your reception venue or hotel with the AC blasting to keep everyone cool in their formal wear.
Rhythm City Casino Resort
For adult groups looking for excitement, the Rhythm City Casino Resort (7077 Elmore Avenue, Davenport, IA 52807) offers a comprehensive entertainment experience. Located just off I-74 and I-80, this land-based casino features thousands of slot machines, table games, a luxury hotel, a spa, and several dining options ranging from Ruthie's Steak & Seafood to a sports lounge. It also hosts major concerts and events throughout the year.
Whether you are planning a bachelor or bachelorette party, a corporate retreat, or just a weekend getaway with friends, a charter bus rental to Rhythm City Casino is the safest and most convenient way to travel. With a driver at the helm, no one in your group needs to worry about navigating highways at night or acting as the designated driver. For large groups attending a concert at the resort's Event Center, a charter bus ensures you skip the valet lines and get straight to the entertainment.
The Village of East Davenport
Steeped in history and charm, The Village of East Davenport (Mound Street & East 11th Street, Davenport, IA 52803) is a historic shopping and entertainment district located on the riverfront. Known affectionately as "The Village," this area features unique boutiques, cozy pubs, historic homes, and Lagoon Park. It is also the site of major local festivals, including the legendary Bix 7 road race and various art fairs.
The streets in The Village can be narrow and parking is often at a premium, especially during festival weekends or busy shopping days. This makes a minibus rental an excellent choice for groups wanting to explore the area. Your driver can drop your group off at a central location, allowing you to wander the shops and grab a bite to eat without the stress of circling for parking spots or feeding meters. If your group makes significant purchases at the local boutiques, you can easily store your bags in the overhead bins of the bus and continue exploring hands-free. For those attending the Bix 7, a charter bus rental serves as the perfect home base for runners and spectators alike, providing a climate-controlled refuge from the July heat.
Adler Theatre
The Adler Theatre (136 E 3rd St, Davenport, IA 52801) is a restored Art Deco theater that serves as the crown jewel of Davenport's performing arts scene. Hosting Broadway touring companies, the Quad City Symphony Orchestra, and major concerts, the Adler connects directly to the RiverCenter convention complex. Its historic architecture and gold-leaf ceiling make every performance feel like a special occasion.
Attending a show at the Adler is a fantastic group activity, but downtown parking ramps can fill up quickly on show nights, leading to long walks and potential delays. By booking a private charter bus rental, your group can enjoy door-to-door service. Plan a pre-show dinner at a local restaurant, and let your driver shuttle you directly to the theater entrance with time to spare. There is no need to rush through the desert to beat the traffic. After the final curtain call, while other attendees are waiting in line to pay for parking, your group will be boarding a warm (or cool) bus, ready to discuss the performance on the ride home. It is the sophisticated, stress-free way to enjoy the arts in Davenport.
Freight House Farmers Market
Located on the riverfront, the Freight House Farmers Market (421 W River Dr, Davenport, IA 52801) is a hub of community activity, offering fresh local produce, handcrafted goods, and delicious prepared foods. Open year-round (outdoors in warm months, indoors in winter), it is a fantastic destination for groups interested in local culture and cuisine.
Visiting the market with a charter bus allows your group to buy as much as they like without worrying about carrying heavy loads back to a distant car. The undercarriage storage bays of a full-size charter bus are perfect for storing coolers, crates of fresh produce, or large art pieces purchased from local vendors. A bus rental also makes it easy to combine a trip to the market with a walk along the adjacent riverfront bike paths or a visit to the nearby LeClaire Park. Your driver handles the traffic along River Drive, leaving you free to enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Mississippi River.
