A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Rock Out at Blossom Music Center
If there is one venue that defines the summer concert season in Northeast Ohio, it is the Blossom Music Center (1145 W Steels Corners Rd, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223). Nestled inside the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, this natural amphitheater hosts the biggest names in rock, country, and pop, as well as the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra. But anyone who has attended a sold-out show here knows the reality: the traffic on Steels Corners Road can be a nightmare, and the walk from the grass parking lots is a hike in itself.
That is where Charter Bus Rental Company Akron steps in. When you rent a private charter bus or party bus for a concert at Blossom, you eliminate the stress of gridlock. Your driver handles the navigation while you and your friends pregame in the air-conditioned comfort of a modern motorcoach. We can arrange drop-offs close to the gates so you don't have to lug your lawn chairs and coolers across acres of fields. Whether you are planning a company outing to see the orchestra or a rowdy night out with friends for a country megastar, our fleet ranging from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger coaches is the perfect fit for your group. Enjoy amenities like onboard restrooms (a lifesaver during long tailgates!), high-speed WiFi to post your concert selfies, and plenty of storage for your picnic gear.
Experience History at the Akron Civic Theatre
Located right in the heart of downtown, the Akron Civic Theatre (182 S Main St, Akron, OH 44308) is one of the few remaining atmospheric theaters in the country. With its starry sky ceiling and opulent decor, it is a stunning backdrop for concerts, comedy shows, and ballets. However, downtown parking can be tricky, especially when multiple events are happening simultaneously at nearby venues like Lock 3 or Canal Park.
By booking a shuttle bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Akron, you ensure your group arrives together and in style. We provide door-to-door service, dropping you off right on South Main Street so you can head straight to your seats or grab dinner at a nearby spot like Crave or The Lockview. After the curtain call, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away comfortably. This is an excellent option for school field trips catching a matinee, senior citizen groups enjoying a symphony performance, or corporate teams attending a gala. Our buses come equipped with plush, reclining seats, ensuring your ride home is as relaxing as the show was entertaining.
Catch a Show at The Goodyear Theater
A symbol of Akron's industrial revitalization, The Goodyear Theater (1201 E Market St, Akron, OH 44305) offers a more intimate concert experience in the historic East End. This venue attracts a fantastic mix of indie bands, classic rock legends, and comedians. Since it is located within a mixed-use development, navigating the area with a large caravan of cars can be confusing for first-time visitors.
Charter Bus Rental Company Akron makes it easy. Rent a minibus for your group of friends or a full-sized charter bus for a larger organization, and let us handle the logistics. We can coordinate pick-ups from your office, hotel, or home, ensuring everyone arrives at the East End ready for a great night. Plus, with the East End's growing selection of restaurants and breweries, your bus can serve as your dedicated shuttle for a full evening of dining and entertainment. No need to worry about finding multiple parking spots or coordinating ride-shares at the end of the night—your private bus stays on your schedule.
Community Fun at Lock 3 Park
Lock 3 Park (200 S Main St, Akron, OH 44308) is the city's backyard, hosting festivals, community concerts, and holiday events year-round. From the Rock the Lock summer concert series to the Winterblast ice skating and holiday market, there is always something happening here. For large groups attending festivals like the Rib, White & Blue Festival or the Italian-American Festival, transportation can be a logistical hurdle.
Simplify your group's visit with Charter Bus Rental Company Akron. We are experts in handling festival transportation, getting your group close to the action without the headache of downtown street closures and detours. A charter bus rental is perfect for youth groups, church organizations, or extended families looking to enjoy the festivities together. Pack your folding chairs, blankets, and festival necessities in the spacious undercarriage luggage bays, and keep the aisles clear for a comfortable ride. If the weather turns, you have a dry, climate-controlled meeting point waiting for you.
Cheer on the RubberDucks at Canal Park
Nothing says summer in Akron quite like a trip to Canal Park (300 S Main St, Akron, OH 44308) to see the Akron RubberDucks. As the Double-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians, the games feature top-tier talent and affordable family fun. But organizing a group outing for 50 people? That can be a curveball.
Charter Bus Rental Company Akron hits a home run with our sporting event transportation services . Whether you are a Little League team celebrating the end of the season, a corporate group enjoying a suite, or a bachelor party looking for a fun start to the night, we have the bus for you. We can coordinate pick-ups from anywhere in Summit County and drop you off right at the stadium gates. Your bus serves as the ultimate tailgating headquarters or simply a convenient, safe ride home after Friday night fireworks. With onboard PA systems, you can even rally the team spirit or make announcements on the way to the game!
University of Akron & E.J. Thomas Hall Events
The University of Akron isn't just for students; it's a cultural hub for the entire city. E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall (198 Hill St, Akron, OH 44325) hosts Broadway tours, lectures, and the Akron Symphony Orchestra. Navigating a college campus with limited visitor parking can be daunting for large groups, especially during the school year.
Let Charter Bus Rental Company Akron take the lead. We frequently work with academic groups, alumni associations, and arts patrons to provide reliable shuttles to campus events. The drivers are familiar with the campus layout, ensuring efficient drop-offs near the hall. For prospective students and school groups, our charter buses offer the perfect environment for campus tours, allowing everyone to see the sights through panoramic windows while listening to guides over the bus's microphone system. We take the stress out of campus navigation so you can focus on the performance or the tour.
PorchRokr Music Festival in Highland Square
One of Akron's most unique and beloved events is the PorchRokr Music Festival, which transforms the historic Highland Square neighborhood into a sprawling stage. Bands play on residential porches, food trucks line the streets, and thousands of people flood the area. Parking? It's practically non-existent in the immediate vicinity during the event.
This is where a shuttle service from Charter Bus Rental Company Akron becomes invaluable. If you are organizing a large group of friends or a community organization to attend, renting a minibus or sprinter van allows you to get dropped off right on the perimeter of the festival. Avoid circling side streets for an hour looking for a spot. We can drop you off at a designated location near West Market Street and return to pick you up when you've had your fill of local music and art. It is the smartest, safest way to enjoy one of Akron's best days of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Akron Concert Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Akron?
The cost of a charter bus rental in Akron varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your rental, the time of year, and the distance you are traveling. For example, a standard 56-passenger coach bus costs between $150 and $190 per hour, while smaller minibuses may range from $125 to $160 per hour. However, these are estimated ranges. For the most accurate pricing tailored to your specific itinerary, we recommend calling our reservation specialists at 234-900-5596 or using our online quote tool for a free, no-obligation estimate in seconds.
Can we drink alcohol on the bus?
Yes, in most cases, passengers of legal drinking age are permitted to consume alcohol on our party buses and charter buses. However, this must be disclosed and agreed upon at the time of booking. Many groups celebrating weddings , bachelor/bachelorette parties, or heading to concerts at Blossom Music Center enjoy this perk. Please note that a refundable security deposit may be required for trips involving alcohol to cover any potential cleaning fees. Your safety is our priority, so while you celebrate, your driver will handle the road.
How far in advance should I book my bus for a concert?
We strongly recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your event date confirmed. For major events in Akron, such as summer concerts at Blossom Music Center or festivals like PorchRokr, availability can become limited quickly. Ideally, you should try to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Akron serves groups year-round, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Calling early ensures you get the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive rates.
What amenities are included on your buses?
Our fleet offers a wide range of modern amenities designed for your comfort. Standard features on most full-sized charter buses include reclining seats, ample legroom, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, and overhead storage. Many of our buses also come equipped with free WiFi, power outlets at every seat, and DVD players with flat-screen monitors. If you have specific needs—like ADA accessibility or a PA system for tour guides—just let our reservation team know when you call 234-900-5596, and we will match you with the perfect vehicle for your group.
Do you provide transportation to events outside of Akron?
Absolutely! While we love serving our local Akron community, Charter Bus Rental Company Akron provides long-distance charter bus rentals across Ohio and beyond. Whether you are heading north to Cleveland for a Guardians game, south to Canton for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, or planning a multi-day road trip to Columbus or Pittsburgh, we have you covered.
