A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration
Address: 400 N Court St, Montgomery, AL 36104
Perhaps the most impactful destination in the city, The Legacy Museum is an absolute must-visit for educational groups, church outings, and anyone interested in American history. Located on the site of a former warehouse where enslaved Black people were imprisoned, this museum offers an immersive, narrative-driven experience that traces the history of racial injustice from enslavement to current issues of mass incarceration. It is a heavy, emotional, and deeply necessary experience.
Why visit by bus? Parking in downtown Montgomery near the riverfront can be scarce, especially for large groups. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Montgomery, your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance on North Court Street. This is particularly valuable for this specific attraction, as visitors often need time to decompress and discuss what they’ve seen after the tour. Having a private, air-conditioned space to gather immediately after exiting allows for a seamless transition to your next stop or a quiet moment of reflection for your group.
The National Memorial for Peace and Justice
Address: 417 Caroline St, Montgomery, AL 36104
Often visited in tandem with The Legacy Museum, The National Memorial for Peace and Justice is the nation’s first memorial dedicated to the legacy of enslaved Black people, people terrorized by lynching, and African Americans humiliated by racial segregation. The memorial sits on a six-acre site and uses sculpture and art to contextualize racial terror. It is a visually stunning and spiritually moving site that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
Why visit by bus? While the Memorial and the Museum are part of the same Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) experience, they are located about a mile apart. In the Alabama summer heat, that walk can be grueling for seniors or young students. A shuttle bus rental allows you to easily transport your group between the two sites in minutes, ensuring everyone stays cool, hydrated, and energized. We can run a continuous loop for larger groups or simply wait nearby to pick everyone up once they have finished walking through the memorial gardens.
Montgomery Zoo & Mann Wildlife Learning Museum
Address: 2301 Coliseum Pkwy, Montgomery, AL 36110
For a change of pace that is perfect for families and school field trips, the Montgomery Zoo is a top-tier destination. Spanning 40 acres, the zoo is home to over 500 animals from five different continents. Highlights include the African Savanna exhibit, where giraffes and elephants roam, and the Mann Wildlife Learning Museum, which allows you to get up close (safely!) to taxidermy displays that teach about conservation.
Why visit by bus? School buses are the traditional choice for zoos, but they lack comfort. A private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Montgomery upgrades the experience significantly. With undercarriage storage bays, you have plenty of room to store coolers filled with lunches, extra water, and backpacks, keeping the aisles clear for the kids. Plus, after a long day of walking the exhibits, the reclining seats and onboard DVD players offer a perfect way for students to wind down (or nap) on the ride back to school or the hotel.
Rosa Parks Library and Museum
Address: 252 Montgomery St, Montgomery, AL 36104
Located on the campus of Troy University at Montgomery, this museum stands at the site where Mrs. Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955, sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The museum is high-tech and interactive, featuring a re-enactment of the event and artifacts from the Civil Rights era. It serves as a powerful tribute to the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" and offers a dedicated children’s wing (The Cleveland Avenue Time Machine), making it ideal for student groups.
Why visit by bus? Because this museum is located within a university setting in the heart of downtown, maneuvering several cars can be a nightmare. A charter bus simplifies the logistics entirely. Your driver can coordinate with the museum staff for the designated bus drop-off zone. If you are planning a multi-stop Civil Rights tour—hitting the Rosa Parks Museum, the Freedom Rides Museum, and the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church—a charter bus is the only way to keep your itinerary on track without losing members of your group to traffic lights and parking meters.
Alabama State Capitol
Address: 600 Dexter Ave, Montgomery, AL 36130
The Alabama State Capitol is a National Historic Landmark that offers a unique duality in history: it served as the first Capitol of the Confederacy, and just over a century later, it was the termination point of the Selma-to-Montgomery Civil Rights March led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Visitors can tour the restored Rotunda, the old House and Senate chambers, and the beautiful grounds. It’s a stunning example of Greek Revival architecture and a cornerstone of Alabama history.
Why visit by bus? The Capitol is situated atop Goat Hill at the end of Dexter Avenue. While beautiful, the incline can be difficult for some mobility-impaired group members if you have to park far away. When you book with Charter Bus Montgomery, you can request an ADA-accessible bus to ensure every member of your group can participate. Your driver can drop your group at the most accessible entrance and handle the parking logistics elsewhere, returning only when you are ready to depart.
Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts
Address: 1 Museum Dr, Montgomery, AL 36117
Located within the scenic Blount Cultural Park, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) is home to an impressive collection of American art, Old Master prints, and decorative porcelain. Beyond the galleries, the museum features ARTWORKS, an interactive gallery for children, and beautiful sculpture gardens that overlook a lake. It’s a serene, sophisticated destination perfect for senior tour groups, art clubs, or wedding parties looking for a stunning photo backdrop.
Why visit by bus? Blount Cultural Park is spacious, but coordinating arrival times for a large group in personal vehicles can lead to delays. A minibus or charter bus ensures everyone arrives simultaneously for your docent-led tour. Additionally, if you are visiting for a private event or wedding, the bus serves as a shuttle to keep guests on schedule. The ample storage on our buses is also perfect for storing art supplies if your group plans to do some plein air sketching in the park!
Riverwalk Stadium (Montgomery Biscuits)
Address: 200 Coosa St, Montgomery, AL 36104
There is nothing quite like a night of minor league baseball! Home to the Montgomery Biscuits (the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays), Riverwalk Stadium is a gem of downtown. Built into an old train shed, the stadium offers a unique historic atmosphere combined with modern fun. Groups can rent suites, enjoy picnics in the outfield, and famously, catch biscuits thrown into the stands.
Why visit by bus? Sports outings are better when you don't have to worry about the drive home. Whether it’s a corporate team-building event or a bachelor party, renting a bus means everyone can enjoy a few cold drinks and hot dogs without the worry of designated drivers. Your Charter Bus Montgomery driver will handle the post-game traffic on Coosa Street while your group celebrates the win (or debates the umpire's calls) in the comfort of a climate-controlled cabin.
Hank Williams Museum
Address: 118 Commerce St, Montgomery, AL 36104
Country music fans simply cannot skip this shrine to one of the genre’s biggest legends. The Hank Williams Museum houses the most complete collection of memorabilia related to the singer, including his 1952 Baby Blue Cadillac, stage costumes, and personal instruments. It’s a smaller, intimate museum that packs a punch of nostalgia and history.
Why visit by bus? Located right in the thick of the entertainment district near the alley, Commerce Street can be bustling. A minibus rental is perfect for navigating these tighter downtown corridors. After touring the museum, your group can easily walk to nearby restaurants for lunch, leaving their heavy bags or purchases secured on the bus. Your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to your next stop, perhaps the Hank Williams Memorial at Oakwood Annex Cemetery, completing the pilgrimage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Montgomery Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Montgomery?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and how far you are traveling. For example, a local trip within Montgomery will cost less than a round-trip to Birmingham or Atlanta. We offer transparent pricing with no extra fees. To get the most accurate number, call us at 850-404-0051 with your itinerary, and we can give you a free, personalized quote in minutes, or use our online tool for an estimate in under 30 seconds.
Is there parking for charter buses at these downtown attractions?
Downtown Montgomery has specific zones for motorcoaches, but parking right next to the entrance of every attraction isn't always guaranteed for the duration of your visit. This is the beauty of renting a charter bus! Your driver will drop your group off right at the front door of The Legacy Museum or the Riverwalk Stadium. While you explore, your driver will take the bus to a designated staging area or oversized vehicle lot, returning to pick you up exactly when and where you specify. You never have to worry about feeding a meter or walking blocks in the heat.
How far in advance should I book my bus rental?
We always recommend booking as early as possible to ensure the best availability and pricing. For peak travel seasons (like spring for school field trips or summer for family reunions), we suggest booking 3 to 6 months in advance. However, Charter Bus Montgomery has a large network, and we are often able to accommodate last-minute requests. Whether you are planning a year out or need a bus for next week, give us a call!
What amenities are included on a standard charter bus?
Our standard full-size charter buses typically come equipped with a suite of modern amenities designed for comfort. This includes reclining seats with plenty of legroom, powerful air conditioning (a must in Alabama!), overhead storage bins, and onboard restrooms. Many of our buses also feature WiFi, power outlets at the seats, and DVD players with flat-screen monitors. If you have specific needs—like ADA accessibility or PA systems for tour guides—just let us know at the time of booking, and we will ensure your bus has everything you need.
