A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Chautauqua Park & The Flatirons
No trip to Boulder is complete without visiting its most famous landmark: The Flatirons. Chautauqua Park serves as the gateway to these massive, slanted sandstone formations, offering some of the most breathtaking views in the state. For groups, this is the ultimate destination for hiking, picnicking, and soaking in the Colorado sunshine. The park features a vast network of trails ranging from easy, meadow-skipping walks to strenuous climbs up Royal Arch. It is also home to the historic Chautauqua Auditorium, which hosts music festivals and cultural events throughout the summer.
Why a bus rental is essential here: Parking at Chautauqua is notoriously difficult. The lots are small, fill up by 8:00 AM on weekends, and neighborhood parking is strictly regulated. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Boulder, your group can be dropped off right at the trailhead or the Chautauqua Dining Hall. While you explore the trails or enjoy a concert, your driver handles the vehicle, ensuring you have a climate-controlled ride waiting for you when your legs are tired. It is the only way to ensure your entire group arrives together to witness the majesty of the Flatirons.

Pearl Street Mall
The heart and soul of the city, the Pearl Street Mall is a four-block pedestrian thoroughfare that captures the eclectic, vibrant spirit of Boulder. This historic downtown district is lined with Victorian-era brick buildings housing some of the state's best independent boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants. It is a fantastic destination for groups who want to spend a few hours shopping, dining, and people-watching. Your group can witness world-class street performers—from jugglers to contortionists—who have become a staple of the Pearl Street experience.
For corporate groups or wedding parties, Pearl Street offers incredible dining options ranging from the elegant Frasca Food and Wine to the historic Boulderado Hotel nearby. Navigating downtown traffic and finding parking structures that accommodate multiple cars can kill the mood of a fun outing. With a minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Boulder, we can drop your group off at a designated loading zone near 11th or 15th Street, allowing you to step right onto the bricks. You can shop at Into the Wind, grab coffee at Ozo, and meet back up with your bus without worrying about parking meters or garage fees.
Location: 1942 Broadway #301, Boulder, CO 80302 (Downtown Boulder Partnership)
University of Colorado Boulder
Whether you are organizing a campus tour for prospective students, an alumni reunion, or a trip to watch the CU Buffaloes play, the University of California Boulder is a massive draw for groups. The campus is renowned for its distinctive Tuscan Vernacular architecture, featuring sandstone walls and red-tile roofs, set against the backdrop of the mountains. Educational groups can visit the CU Art Museum or the Museum of Natural History, while sports fans can head to Folsom Field, one of the most scenic college football stadiums in America.
University campuses are notoriously difficult to navigate for visitors, with restricted lots and complex permit systems. Charter Bus Rental Company Boulder specializes in university transportation. We can arrange drop-offs at the University Memorial Center (UMC) or coordinate with the athletics department for game-day parking at Folsom Field. Whether you need a shuttle for a conference at the Wolf Law Building or transportation for a high school AVID program, these drivers know the campus layout inside and out. We ensure your group spends time exploring the quad, not circling Broadway looking for a parking spot.
Location: Regent Dr at Broadway, Boulder, CO 80309
Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
For a dining experience that is as cultural as it is culinary, the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is unmatched. This handcrafted masterpiece was a gift to the city of Boulder from its sister city, Dushanbe, Tajikistan. It was built by more than 40 artisans in several cities of Tajikistan, disassembled, crated, shipped to Boulder, and reassembled. The interior features stunning hand-carved cedar columns, intricate ceramic panels, and a beautiful central pool.
Located right next to Central Park and the Boulder Creek Path, this is an ideal lunch stop for tour groups and private events. However, its central location means parking is at a premium. A private charter bus allows your group to be dropped off curbside on 13th Street so you can admire the Persian art and enjoy a cup of premium tea without delay. It is a perfect addition to a cultural tour of the city, and Charter Bus Rental Company Boulder can easily incorporate it into a custom itinerary that includes the nearby Farmers Market on Saturdays.

Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory
Did you know Boulder is home to one of the largest specialty tea manufacturers in North America? A tour of the Celestial Seasonings headquarters is a favorite for groups of all ages. Located in the Gunbarrel neighborhood northeast of the city center, this facility offers a sensory experience like no other. Your group can take a free 45-minute tour to see how the tea is blended, packaged, and shipped. The highlight for many is the famous "Mint Room," where the potent aroma of peppermint is strong enough to clear your sinuses instantly!
Because Celestial Seasonings is located a bit further out from the downtown core, arranging transportation is key. A charter bus rental makes the 15-minute drive from downtown comfortable and social. You can store souvenirs from the tea shop in the overhead bins and enjoy the air-conditioned ride back to your hotel or next destination. It is a unique industrial tour that showcases Boulder's entrepreneurial spirit.

National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
Perched atop Table Mesa, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) offers some of the most educational exhibits in the region—and arguably the best views. The building itself was designed by legendary architect I.M. Pei and blends seamlessly with the flatirons behind it. Inside the Mesa Laboratory, groups can explore hands-on exhibits about weather, climate change, and the sun. Outside, the Walter Orr Roberts Weather Trail provides a scenic, interpretive nature walk.
The road up to NCAR is winding and climbs significantly in elevation, offering stunning panoramas of the city below. For groups unfamiliar with mountain driving, this can be intimidating in personal vehicles. These drivers at Charter Bus Rental Company Boulder are good at navigating Colorado's terrain. We can transport your school group, science club, or corporate team safely to the top of the mesa. Once there, your group can focus on the science and the scenery while we handle the driving logistics.
Location: 1850 Table Mesa Dr, Boulder, CO 80305
Eldorado Canyon State Park
Just a short drive south of Boulder lies a hidden gem that rivals any national park for beauty: Eldorado Canyon State Park. Famous for its towering sandstone cliffs, this park is a world-renowned destination for rock climbers and hikers. The sheer walls of the canyon create a dramatic landscape that feels worlds away from the city. Groups can enjoy hiking the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail for views of the Continental Divide or simply picnicking by the rushing waters of South Boulder Creek.
Accessing "Eldo" can be extremely difficult due to vehicle capacity limits; the park often reaches capacity on weekends, turning away personal cars. However, group travel via a shuttle or bus is often the best way to guarantee access without the headache of parking in full lots. By booking a minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Boulder, you streamline your entry. We can drop your group off for a day of adventure and return for pickup, ensuring you don't waste a moment of your outdoor excursion circling for a spot that doesn't exist.
Location: 9 Kneale Rd, Eldorado Springs, CO 80025
Fiske Planetarium
For a journey to the stars without leaving the ground, bring your group to the Fiske Planetarium. Located on the CU Boulder campus, it is one of the largest planetariums between Chicago and Los Angeles. Fiske offers a variety of shows, from educational deep-dives into black holes and the solar system to mesmerizing laser shows set to the music of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and modern pop hits. It is a fantastic venue for school field trips, private parties, and corporate events looking for a unique setting.
Coordinating a night out at the planetarium is simple with Charter Bus Rental Company Boulder. We can pick up your group from dinner on Pearl Street and shuttle you directly to the planetarium for a show. No need to worry about navigating the campus at night or finding parking near Regent Drive. Our buses ensure your group arrives together before the lights go down.
Location: 2414 Regent Dr, Boulder, CO 80309

Frequently Asked Questions About Boulder Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Boulder?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and total mileage. Local trips around Boulder are billed by the hour with a minimum rental period (usually 5 hours), while long-distance trips to Denver or ski resorts may be billed by the day or mile. To get the most accurate price, call Charter Bus Rental Company Boulder at 970-509-3625 with your itinerary. We provide free, transparent quotes in minutes with no extra fees.
Can your buses handle mountain driving?
Absolutely. We understand that visiting Boulder often means driving into the foothills or heading up to the High Country. Our fleet includes modern buses maintained to handle changes in elevation and grade. Furthermore, the drivers we work with are teams who know how to navigate winding mountain roads comfortably. Whether you are going up to NCAR on Table Mesa or heading to a wedding in the scenery of Flagstaff Mountain, comfort is our top priority.
How far in advance should I book my bus?
Boulder is a popular destination year-round, especially during the summer tourist season, fall foliage season, and University of Colorado graduation. We recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. If you are planning a trip during a major event like the Bolder Boulder 10K or a CU football game, try to book 6 to 9 months ahead. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so give us a call regardless of your timeline!
Do you offer transportation to Denver International Airport (DEN)?
Yes, airport transfers are one of our most popular services. Denver International Airport is about 45 minutes to an hour from Boulder. We can arrange for a charter bus or minibus to pick your group up curbside at DIA and transport you directly to your Boulder hotel, the university, or a conference center. There is plenty of luggage storage under the bus for suitcases and ski gear. It is much easier than coordinating multiple rideshares or hauling luggage onto the public bus system.
