A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Jordan-Hare Stadium
If you are in Auburn, it is impossible to ignore the gravitational pull of Jordan-Hare Stadium (251 S Donahue Dr, Auburn, AL 36849). Home to the Auburn Tigers football team, this is hallowed ground for sports fans across the Southeast. On game days, the stadium swells to become the fifth-largest city in Alabama, hosting over 87,000 screaming fans. The energy here is electric, from the pre-game Eagle Flight—where a golden eagle soars around the stadium—to the final whistle.
However, getting 50 or more people to a game can be a logistical nightmare. Parking passes are scarce, expensive, and often located miles from the gates. With a private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Auburn, your group can skip the parking wars. We can drop your group off closer to the action, allowing you ample time to set up your tailgate or catch the Tiger Walk. Our buses offer plenty of undercarriage storage for your coolers, tents, and folding chairs, making us the ultimate tailgating partner. Even in the off-season, the stadium is a sight to behold and a must-visit for any group touring the university campus.
Toomer's Corner
Located at the intersection of College Street and Magnolia Avenue, Toomer's Corner is the beating heart of the city and the traditional gateway to the Auburn University campus. This isn't just an intersection; it is a living monument to Auburn spirit. It is famous for Toomer's Drugs (100 N College St, Auburn, AL 36846), an operational drugstore since 1896, where visitors flock to taste their world-famous fresh-squeezed lemonade. After a big Auburn victory, the intersection transforms into a winter wonderland as fans partake in the time-honored tradition of rolling the massive oak trees with toilet paper.
For groups, Toomer's Corner is the perfect drop-off point for a walking tour of downtown. However, street parking in this busy downtown district is notoriously difficult to find, especially for multiple vehicles. By booking a minibus with Charter Bus Auburn, your group can hop off right at the corner, grab a lemonade, shop at the local boutiques like J&M Bookstore, and soak in the history without circling the block for forty minutes looking for a spot. When you are ready to leave, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to your next stop.
Chewacla State Park
Just a short drive south of the university lies a natural oasis perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, school field trips, and corporate team-building events. Chewacla State Park (124 Shell Toomer Pkwy, Auburn, AL 36830) covers 696 acres and features a 26-acre lake, swimming area, playgrounds, and a modern campground. The park is renowned for its hiking and mountain biking trails, which range from easy scenic walks to challenging technical rides. The highlight for many is the picturesque waterfall, a perfect backdrop for group photos.
Transporting a large group to a state park often involves coordinating carpools and hoping everyone has the correct directions. With Charter Bus Auburn, the journey is part of the fun. Your group can enjoy the scenic drive through Lee County together. If you are bringing biking gear or picnic supplies, our full-size charter buses have ample storage space to accommodate everything. After a long day of hiking or swimming under the Alabama sun, there is nothing better than stepping onto a climate-controlled bus, reclining your seat, and relaxing in the A/C on the ride home.
Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art
For groups looking for a touch of culture and sophistication, the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University (901 S College St, Auburn, AL 36849) is an absolute gem. The building itself is a work of art, featuring travertine stone and a stunning lake entrance. Inside, your group can explore a growing collection of American and European art, ranging from traditional paintings to contemporary installations. The museum also features beautiful gardens with sculptures that are perfect for a leisurely stroll.
Admission is often free, making this an excellent budget-friendly stop for school groups or senior citizen outings. While the museum is welcoming, parking for large groups can be tricky during special exhibitions or university events. A charter bus rental ensures your group arrives at the front door together. Teachers and tour organizers can use the onboard PA system to brief the group on museum etiquette or discuss the exhibits you are about to see while en route. It is a seamless way to inject arts and education into your Auburn itinerary.
Southeastern Raptor Center
One of the most unique educational experiences in the state can be found at the Southeastern Raptor Center (1350 Pratt-Carden Dr, Auburn, AL 36849). A division of the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, this center rehabilitates injured birds of prey and educates the public about these magnificent creatures. If you are visiting on a Friday before a home football game, you can catch the "Football, Fans and Feathers" show, where hawks, falcons, and eagles fly free and close to the audience.
This is a fantastic destination for school field trips, scout troops, and animal lovers. However, the facility is located a bit off the main path of campus, and coordinating arrival times for a large group is crucial for catching the shows. Charter Bus Auburn takes the stress out of the equation. We ensure your group arrives with plenty of time to find seats and enjoy the presentation. Plus, the ride over is a great time to play nature documentaries on the bus’s TV screens to get everyone excited about what they are about to see.
Donald E. Davis Arboretum
Located in the heart of the university campus, the Donald E. Davis Arboretum (181 Garden Dr, Auburn, AL 36849) serves as a living museum of the native plants of Alabama. This 13.5-acre facility displays plants from the state's various ecosystems, including coastal dunes, prairies, and forests. It is a peaceful, educational retreat that offers a stark contrast to the bustle of the nearby student center. The Arboretum is an excellent spot for educational tours, photography clubs, or simply a relaxing walk for a corporate group needing a break from conference rooms.
Because the Arboretum is central to the campus, parking is extremely restricted and strictly enforced. Bringing a caravan of cars here is nearly impossible during the school week. A charter bus from Charter Bus Auburn is the smartest solution. Your driver can drop your group at the Garden Drive entrance and park off-site until you are ready to be picked up. This allows your group to wander the trails and enjoy the mighty oaks without worrying about parking tickets or meters.
Neville Arena
While football might be king in the South, basketball has carved out a massive following in Auburn, thanks to the electric atmosphere of Neville Arena (250 Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum, Auburn, AL 36849). Known as "The Jungle," the student section creates one of the most intimidating environments in college basketball. If your group is in town during basketball season, catching a game here is a must. The arena also hosts graduations, concerts, and gymnastics meets throughout the year.
Like the football stadium, Neville Arena draws huge crowds, and traffic congestion on S Donahue Drive can be heavy. A minibus or charter bus rental allows your group to travel together, building camaraderie and excitement before you even enter the building. Whether you are an alumni group reliving the glory days or a youth basketball team coming to see how the pros do it, Charter Bus Auburn provides safe, reliable transportation that gets you to the tip-off on time. Forget about the long walk from the parking deck; let us drop you curbside.
Downtown Auburn
Beyond Toomer's Corner lies the vibrant stretch of Downtown Auburn. Filled with local eateries, bars, and unique shops, it is the social hub of the city. Groups can enjoy a nice dinner at The Hound, grab a burger at Hamilton's, or experience the nightlife at spots like Skybar Cafe. It is the perfect place to unwind after a day of meetings or sightseeing. Throughout the year, downtown also hosts events like the Auburn CityFest and holiday parades.
For groups planning a night out or a pub crawl, safety is paramount. Navigating downtown traffic at night and finding safe parking can be a hassle. More importantly, you want to ensure everyone gets back to the hotel safely. When you rent a charter bus or minibus for your evening out, you have a built-in designated driver. Your group can enjoy the food, drinks, and atmosphere of downtown Auburn without a single worry about how you will get home. Charter Bus Auburn is committed to your safety and enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auburn Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Auburn?

Yes, you are generally allowed to bring food and drinks on our buses! We want you to be comfortable. We recommend bringing snacks that are easy to eat and drinks with lids to prevent spills. Please note that the group is responsible for keeping the bus clean to avoid cleaning fees.
Where can the bus pick us up?
One of the best parts of renting with Charter Bus Auburn is the convenience. We can pick your group up at almost any location that can safely accommodate a large vehicle. This includes hotels, office buildings, schools, church parking lots, or the airport. When you book, just provide us with your desired pickup address, and we will confirm if it is accessible for the specific bus you have chosen. We aim to provide door-to-door service whenever possible.
Is there parking available for the bus at Auburn University stadiums?
Parking for charter buses at Jordan-Hare Stadium or Neville Arena is strictly regulated, especially on game days. While we handle the driving, you may need to secure a parking pass for the bus through the university or the event organizers if the bus needs to stay on-site. However, many groups prefer to be dropped off near the venue, with the bus parking at an off-site location and returning for pickup after the event. Our team can help you navigate these logistics when you book.
How far in advance should I book my bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your date and itinerary confirmed. For trips during peak times—such as Auburn football season, graduation weeks, or spring break—we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. For off-peak times, 1 to 3 months in advance is usually sufficient. However, we also do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever we can!
