A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Shop and Dine at Westfield Brandon
If there is one central hub that defines the area, it is Westfield Brandon. This isn't just a mall; it is a massive lifestyle center that serves as the heartbeat of the community. For large groups, it offers something for everyone, making it an ideal stop for multi-generational family reunions or school trips looking for a safe, enclosed environment for free time. With over 150 stores ranging from high-end retailers to popular favorites, plus a massive food court and sit-down dining options like The Cheesecake Factory and Bahama Breeze, your group can easily spend an entire afternoon here.
Why visit by bus? Parking at Westfield Brandon, especially during the holidays or weekends, can be a competitive sport. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Brandon, you can arrange for a curbside drop-off right at the Restaurant Courtyard entrance. Your group can disembark immediately and head for the air conditioning while your driver handles the bus parking in the outer lots. This is also a popular pick-up location for groups heading out of town, thanks to its proximity to I-75 and the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway.
Address: 459 Brandon Town Center Dr, Brandon, FL 33511
Tee Off at Topgolf Tampa
Technically located on the border of Brandon and Tampa, Topgolf has revolutionized group entertainment in the area. This isn't your grandfather's quiet golf course; it is a high-energy, multi-level entertainment complex that pairs competitive golf games with a full-service bar and restaurant. It is one of our most requested destinations for corporate team-building events and bachelor parties. Groups can reserve side-by-side bays, order shareable appetizers, and compete to see who can hit the microchipped balls the furthest. It is climate-controlled, so even in the humid Florida August, your group remains comfortable.
Why visit by bus? Topgolf is all about socializing. If your group plans on enjoying the full beverage menu, a Charter Bus Brandon rental is your built-in designated driver. We can shuttle your corporate team from the office to the range and back, ensuring everyone gets home safely. Additionally, if you are bringing your own clubs, our buses offer ample undercarriage storage so you aren't cramping your style inside the cabin with golf bags.
Address: 10690 Palm River Rd, Tampa, FL 33619
Step Back in Time at Dinosaur World
Just a short drive east of Brandon in Plant City lies one of Florida’s most unique and beloved roadside attractions: Dinosaur World. This open-air museum features over 200 life-size dinosaur sculptures set among lush native vegetation. It is a fantastic destination for elementary school field trips, summer camps, and birthday parties. The park is interactive, offering fossil digs, a playground, and educational boardwalks. It’s a low-tech, high-imagination destination that allows kids to run free and learn about the prehistoric era.
Why visit by bus? Dinosaur World is extremely group-friendly, but it is located right off I-4, which can be intimidating for a convoy of parent volunteers driving separate cars. A charter bus rental keeps all the students and chaperones in one secure vehicle. We can play Jurassic Park movies on the onboard TV screens during the ride to build hype! The park encourages groups to bring their own coolers and lunches, and our buses have plenty of storage space to haul picnic supplies for the whole class.
Address: 5145 Harvey Tew Rd, Plant City, FL 33565
Roll into Fun at Astro Skate Family Fun Center
For a dose of pure nostalgia and high-energy fun, Astro Skate is a Brandon institution. This classic roller rink features hardwood floors, disco lights, and a thumping sound system that appeals to youth groups, church lock-ins, and birthday parties. Beyond just skating, they often host themed nights and games, making it a lively atmosphere for teenagers. It is a great indoor option when the Florida rainstorms roll in, providing a safe and contained environment for large groups of kids to burn off energy.
Why visit by bus? Coordinating drop-off and pick-up times for 30 or 40 teenagers can be a nightmare for parents. By renting a minibus or charter bus from Charter Bus Brandon, you create a centralized transportation loop. We can pick up the group at a school, church, or community center, drop them right at the front door of Astro Skate, and be waiting there the moment the session ends. It simplifies logistics for the organizers and ensures safety for the kids.
Address: 875 W Bloomingdale Ave, Brandon, FL 33511
Events at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds
Located just east of Brandon in Dover, the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds is the site of major annual events, including the Hillsborough County Fair, rodeos, and various agricultural expos. For 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, and community organizations, this is a prime destination. The Fairgrounds host events year-round, often drawing large crowds from across the state. Whether you are attending a livestock show or enjoying the carnival rides and fried food, it is a quintessential local experience.
Why visit by bus? Traffic entering and exiting the fairgrounds during peak event times can be gridlock. A charter bus rental allows your group to relax in air-conditioned comfort while your driver handles the stop-and-go traffic. We can drop your group near the ticket gates so you don't have to trek across dusty, unpaved overflow parking lots. For agricultural groups bringing gear or supplies, the storage bays on our full-size coaches are invaluable.
Address: 215 Sydney Washer Rd, Dover, FL 33527
Outdoor Adventure at Alafia River State Park
For active groups looking to escape the suburban sprawl, Alafia River State Park is a hidden gem located just south of Brandon. This park is renowned for having some of the most challenging off-road mountain biking trails in Florida, built on reclaimed phosphate mining land which creates unique elevation changes. It also offers hiking, equestrian trails, and canoeing opportunities. It is an excellent destination for Boy Scout troops, adventure clubs, and nature lovers.
Why visit by bus? If you are a mountain biking club or a hiking group, you have gear—and lots of it. A standard car trunk simply won't cut it. Charter Bus Brandon can provide a motorcoach with massive undercarriage luggage bays capable of storing camping gear, coolers, and hiking equipment. After a long day on the trails, there is nothing better than collapsing into a reclining seat in a cool bus rather than driving home exhausted.
Address: 14326 S County Rd 39, Lithia, FL 33547
Gaming and Dining at Dave & Buster's
Located near the Bass Pro Shops and the Estuary, Dave & Buster's is a go-to spot for adult groups who want to let loose. Combining a full-service restaurant/bar with a massive arcade, it is perfect for corporate holiday parties, team-building afternoons, or graduation celebrations. It offers a structured yet fun environment where groups can eat together and then disperse to play games.
Why visit by bus? This location is right off the I-75 and Crosstown Expressway interchange, an area known for high traffic volume. A corporate shuttle bus rental allows your team to network and bond during the ride rather than fighting traffic individually. Plus, if your company is picking up the tab for drinks, you have a built-in safety net with a driver to ensure everyone gets back to the office or hotel safely.
Address: 10209 Estuary Lakes Dr, Tampa, FL 33619
Try Your Luck at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
While technically in Tampa, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is a stone's throw from Brandon and is a major draw for adult groups in the area. As one of the largest casinos in the United States, it features thousands of slot machines, table games, fine dining restaurants like Council Oak Steaks & Seafood, and a massive event center hosting A-list concerts and comedy acts. It is the premier nightlife destination for the region.
Why visit by bus? The Hard Rock is a massive complex, and parking garages can be confusing and a long walk from the casino floor. With a Charter Bus Brandon rental, you get VIP treatment. We can drop your party off right at the bus entrance or the main valet area. Whether you are planning a bachelorette party, a 21st birthday, or a retirees' day trip, a party bus or charter bus keeps the group energy high and eliminates the worry of driving after a night of fun.
Address: 5223 Orient Rd, Tampa, FL 33610

Frequently Asked Questions About Brandon Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Brandon?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. A local trip within Brandon for a few hours will cost differently than a multi-day trip to Orlando or Miami. For the most accurate pricing, we recommend calling our reservation team at 727-630-5300. We can provide you with a free, no-obligation quote in minutes tailored to your specific itinerary.
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 (such as spring break, wedding season, and holidays), we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. However, Charter Bus Brandon specializes in accommodating groups whenever possible, so even if you have a last-minute trip, give us a call at 727-630-5300, and we will do our absolute best to find a vehicle for you.
Do you provide transportation to Tampa or Orlando theme parks?
Absolutely! While we are based in the Brandon area, a large portion of our business involves shuttling groups to nearby major attractions. We regularly transport groups to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, and SeaWorld. The drivers are familiar with the group drop-off procedures at these major parks, ensuring your entry is as smooth as possible. We can also handle airport transfers to Tampa International (TPA) or Orlando International (MCO).
What amenities are included on a standard charter bus?
Our standard full-size charter buses typically come equipped with a range of amenities designed for comfort and convenience. These usually include reclining seats, ample legroom, air conditioning (a must in Florida!), onboard restrooms, overhead storage for carry-ons, and undercarriage storage for luggage. Many of our modern buses also feature WiFi and power outlets so you can stay connected, as well as DVD players and monitors for entertainment.
