A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Greensboro Coliseum Complex: The Heart of the Action
When people think of events in Greensboro, they almost immediately think of the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. This massive multi-venue site is the beating heart of "Tournament Town." It houses the 22,000-seat main arena, the Novant Health Fieldhouse, the Special Events Center, and the Greensboro Aquatic Center. It is the premier destination for major concerts, monster truck rallies, and, most notably, championship basketball.
Navigating the Coliseum complex during a sold-out event can be daunting. The parking lots are expansive, and getting from your car to the gate often involves a long walk and significant traffic delays upon exit. When you book a charter bus with us, you bypass these headaches. The drivers can navigate the complex's designated bus drop-off zones. We can drop your group right near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for concessions or your seats while your driver handles the parking logistics.
Whether you are bringing a youth basketball team to see the ACC Tournament, a church group to a worship concert, or a corporate group to a trade show at the Special Events Center, a charter bus ensures everyone stays together. Plus, with undercarriage storage, there is plenty of room for tailgating gear, team equipment, or luggage if you are coming straight from the airport.
Tanger Center for the Performing Arts: Broadway in the Triad
The Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts has transformed the cultural landscape of downtown Greensboro. Since opening, it has brought Broadway hits like Hamilton, Wicked, and The Lion King directly to the Triad, along with the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra and touring comedians. Located on North Elm Street, this state-of-the-art venue offers a sophisticated night out, but downtown parking can be scarce and scattered during showtimes.
For theater groups, senior communities, or corporate outings, a minibus or motorcoach rental is the elegant solution. Imagine your group stepping off a climate-controlled bus right at the curb of this stunning glass-fronted venue, dressed in their evening best, without a single worry about finding a parking garage or walking blocks in the rain.
At Charter Bus Rental Company Greensboro, we frequently transport groups to the Tanger Center. We recommend booking a dinner reservation at a nearby downtown restaurant like Print Works Bistro or Liberty Oak. Your bus driver can shuttle your group from dinner directly to the show, ensuring a seamless, upscale evening from start to finish.
Carolina Theatre & White Oak Amphitheatre: Historic & Outdoor Vibes
Greensboro offers a diverse range of venues beyond the massive arenas. The historic Carolina Theatre, located in the heart of downtown since 1927, offers a unique, intimate setting for classic movies, ballets, and concerts. Its vintage charm makes it a favorite for school field trips and historic tours. However, its central location means street parking is limited. A charter bus rental allows teachers and chaperones to keep track of all students easily, dropping them off safely in front of the theatre.
On the other end of the spectrum is the White Oak Amphitheatre, located on the grounds of the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. This outdoor venue is perfect for summer concerts under the stars. The vibe here is relaxed and communal, often involving picnics and lawn seating. A party bus or minibus is an excellent choice for groups of friends attending a concert here. You can enjoy drinks and music on the bus ride over, creating a pre-concert tailgate atmosphere in the safety of a private vehicle with a designated driver.
Festivals Galore: From Folk to Food Trucks
Greensboro loves a festival, and the city shuts down its streets several times a year to celebrate art, music, and food. The most prominent is the NC Folk Festival, a massive, free, three-day outdoor celebration of cultural roots and heritage held downtown. With multiple stages, food vendors, and craft marketplaces, the festival draws tens of thousands of visitors.
Parking during the Folk Festival—or other major events like the Fun Fourth Festival or the Greensboro Food Truck Festival—can be nearly impossible within the city center due to road closures. By renting a charter bus for your group, you avoid the gridlock. We can identify the nearest accessible drop-off points on the perimeter of the festival grounds, allowing your group to dive straight into the festivities. Afterward, tired feet will appreciate the plush, reclining seats of our air-conditioned buses waiting to take you home.
College Sports and "Tournament Town" Legacy
Greensboro earned the nickname "Tournament Town" for good reason. It is the historic home of the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference), and the energy during tournament season is electric. But it isn't just about the ACC; Greensboro is home to the UNC Greensboro (UNCG) Spartans, the North Carolina A&T Aggies, Guilford College, and Bennett College.
Charter Bus Rental Company Greensboro is proud to support collegiate athletics. We provide transportation for alumni associations returning for homecoming games, student sections traveling to away games, and the athletic teams themselves. The greatest advantage for sports fans is the ability to tailgate. Our full-size charter buses have massive storage bays perfect for tents, coolers, grills, and cornhole boards.
Specifically for NC A&T's "GHOE" (Greatest Homecoming on Earth), traffic can be overwhelming. A private bus rental ensures your alumni group stays together, arrives at the stadium or parade route on time, and has a safe, reliable ride back to the hotel after the festivities conclude.
Wyndham Championship: A PGA Tour Experience
Every August, the golf world turns its eyes to Sedgefield Country Club for the Wyndham Championship, the final event of the PGA Tour regular season. This prestigious event attracts high-profile corporate sponsors and golf enthusiasts from across the country.
For corporate clients looking to entertain partners or reward employees, a charter bus is a necessity. Public parking for the Wyndham is typically located at the Greensboro Coliseum or other off-site lots, requiring a shuttle transfer. By booking a private minibus or executive coach with Charter Bus Rental Company Greensboro, you can bypass the public shuttles. We can arrange specialized drop-offs closer to the course (subject to tournament security protocols), offering a VIP experience that reflects well on your business. Inside our buses, your guests can enjoy WiFi and power outlets to stay connected, or simply relax in leather seats while discussing the day's leaderboard.
Hidden Gems and Local Live Music Spots
Not every event happens in a stadium. Greensboro has a thriving local music scene in venues like The Blind Tiger, The Flat Iron, and Hangar 1819. These spots host everything from indie rock to bluegrass and metal. For bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or just a night out with a large group of friends, navigating these venues can be tricky, especially if alcohol is involved.
Renting a party bus or sprinter van for a night out in Greensboro is the ultimate safety move. You get a built-in designated driver who stays with your vehicle while you enjoy the show. You can hop between venues—starting with dinner on Elm Street, moving to a show at The Blind Tiger, and finishing with late-night drinks at a local brewery—without ever waiting for a rideshare or splitting the group into multiple cars. It turns a standard night out into an unforgettable event.

Frequently Asked Questions About Greensboro Concert Transportation
How far in advance should we book a bus for major events like the ACC Tournament?
Greensboro truly becomes "Tournament Town" during March, and demand for charter buses skyrockets. For major events like the ACC Tournament, the Wyndham Championship, or university graduations, we highly recommend booking your bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance. This ensures you have the widest selection of vehicles and secures the best possible rate. While we always try to accommodate last-minute requests, availability during these peak times is extremely limited.
Where do charter buses park at the Greensboro Coliseum?
The Greensboro Coliseum Complex is very bus-friendly. Generally, charter buses will drop guests off near the main entrance or the specific venue you are visiting (like the Aquatic Center or Fieldhouse). After drop-off, buses are typically directed to a designated oversized vehicle parking lot, often located near the amphitheater or in a specific section of the main lot. Your driver will coordinate with parking attendants upon arrival. Be aware that parking fees for buses are usually higher than standard vehicles and are the responsibility of the renting group unless otherwise arranged.
Do you offer transportation for multi-day festivals?
Absolutely! We frequently work with groups attending multi-day events like the NC Folk Festival or multi-day conferences. You can book a charter bus for the entire duration of your stay in Greensboro. We can handle daily shuttles between your hotel and the festival grounds, as well as any side trips you might want to take for dinner or sightseeing. Our team will help you build a custom itinerary that covers every day of your trip.
What amenities are available for corporate groups attending events?
We understand that corporate groups often need to stay productive or want a higher level of comfort. Our executive charter buses and minibuses come equipped with a range of amenities perfect for business travel. These include fast WiFi for checking emails, power outlets at every seat to keep devices charged, tray tables for laptops, and reclining seats for relaxation. If you are presenting to your team on the way to a venue, many of our buses also feature PA systems and flat-screen monitors.
