A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
While technically located just across the border in Powell, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is inextricably linked to the Dublin experience and remains the number one destination for group trips in the region. Spanning over 580 acres, this world-renowned facility is home to more than 10,000 animals representing over 600 species. For school groups, family reunions, and corporate outings , the Zoo offers an immersive experience ranging from the Heart of Africa exhibit to the Shores region. However, navigating the massive parking lots and coordinating meet-up times can be chaotic for large groups traveling in separate cars. With a charter bus rental, your group can be dropped off right at the main entrance, ensuring everyone enters together and maximizes their time seeing the animals rather than searching for a parking spot.
Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin frequently provides transportation for large school field trips and private tours to the Zoo and the adjacent Zoombezi Bay water park. Your driver will handle the parking logistics in the designated bus lot while you enjoy a day of adventure. After a long day of walking, there is nothing better than retreating to a climate-controlled bus with plush seating for the ride home. We can also coordinate shuttle services for evening events, such as the famous Wildlights during the holiday season.

Bridge Park
Bridge Park is the crown jewel of modern Dublin, a sprawling mixed-use development located along the Scioto River. This area is a hotspot for dining, nightlife, and entertainment, making it a prime destination for bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate dinners, and social outings. The district features the North Market Bridge Park, Pins Mechanical Co., and a variety of upscale restaurants and rooftop bars. One of the main attractions is The Dublin Link, the longest single-tower S-shaped suspension pedestrian bridge in the world, connecting Bridge Park to Historic Dublin. While the area is walkable, parking garages can fill up quickly on weekends and during special events.
Renting a minibus or charter bus for your night out in Bridge Park is the safest and most convenient option. Your driver can drop your group off centrally near Riverside Drive, allowing you to explore the area freely. Whether you are heading to a company happy hour at Vaso or a competitive game of duckpin bowling at Pins, having a designated driver ensures everyone gets home safely. For corporate groups, our buses can shuttle attendees from local hotels directly to The Exchange event center for conferences, ensuring punctuality and professionalism.
Bridge Park 6741 Longshore St, Dublin, OH 43017
Historic Dublin
Step back in time by visiting Historic Dublin, where brick-lined sidewalks and 19th-century architecture create a charming atmosphere perfect for leisurely exploration. This district is packed with unique boutiques, sweet shops, and local eateries that capture the essence of the city's Irish heritage. Groups often visit to take the "Fairy Door Trail," a beloved activity for families and youth groups, or to enjoy a pint at a traditional pub. However, the historic nature of the district means streets are narrow and parking is extremely limited, making it difficult for large convoys of personal vehicles to stay together.
Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin solves this problem by providing drop-off and pick-up services on the perimeter of the historic district. Your group can spend the afternoon shopping at Ha'penny Bridge Imports of Ireland or grabbing a coffee at Starbucks before walking across the Link bridge. A charter bus rental is particularly useful during the Dublin Irish Festival, one of the largest Irish festivals in the world, where navigating traffic is nearly impossible without a driver. Let us manage the logistics while you enjoy the charm of Old Dublin.

Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees)
No trip to Dublin is complete without a stop at one of the most unique and photographed roadside attractions in Ohio: the Field of Corn. Located in Frantz Park, this art installation features 109 concrete ears of corn, each standing six feet tall, paying homage to the community's agricultural farming history. It is a quirky, must-see stop for tour groups, photography clubs, and anyone looking for that perfect Instagram shot. Because it is a roadside park, it is an easy addition to any itinerary, but organizing a large group to pull over safely can be tricky with multiple cars.
When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, adding a quick photo op at the Field of Corn is seamless. Your driver can pull the bus up safely, allowing your group to disembark, wander through the rows of concrete corn, read the interpretative signs about hybrid corn researcher Sam Frantz, and snap photos. It is a quick, fun, and educational stop that fits perfectly into a broader tour of Dublin's public art. Afterward, everyone can hop back onto the air-conditioned bus to head to the next destination without the hassle of reassembling a caravan.

Muirfield Village Golf Club
For sports fans and corporate groups, Muirfield Village Golf Club is hallowed ground. Founded by Jack Nicklaus, this prestigious course hosts The Memorial Tournament every year, drawing tens of thousands of spectators to Dublin. If you are planning a corporate hospitality trip or a group outing to watch the PGA Tour's finest, transportation logistics are critical. General parking is often located miles away from the course, requiring transfers to shuttle buses. By renting a private charter bus, your group can bypass the general lots and enjoy a more streamlined experience.
Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin has extensive experience navigating the traffic restrictions and designated drop-off zones during tournament week. We can transport your corporate clients from the airport or their hotels directly to the course gates or hospitality tents. Inside our luxury motorcoaches, your guests can discuss the day's leaderboard, enjoy refreshments, and relax in leather reclining seats. We ensure that your VIPs receive VIP treatment from door to door, making your outing to Muirfield Village professional and impressive.
Muirfield Village Golf Club 5750 Memorial Dr, Dublin, OH 43017
Indian Run Falls
Hidden just minutes from downtown Dublin and Bridge Park, Indian Run Falls offers a stunning natural escape within the city limits. This park features a beautiful waterfall, observation platforms, and walking trails that follow the run down to the Scioto River. It is an excellent destination for nature lovers, scout troops, and photography groups who want to experience the natural beauty of Ohio without leaving the suburbs. While the parking lot at the trailhead is small and not designed for high-volume traffic, a charter bus rental makes access easy.
Your driver can drop your group off at the park entrance on Shawan Falls Drive, allowing you to hike and explore the falls at your leisure. While you enjoy the sound of cascading water and the lush greenery, your bus will wait nearby or return at a scheduled time. This flexibility allows you to incorporate a nature walk into a busy day of sightseeing or meetings. Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin ensures that your group can enjoy this hidden gem safely, without the worry of overcrowding the small public parking area.

Glacier Ridge Metro Park
For active groups looking for outdoor recreation, Glacier Ridge Metro Park is a fantastic destination. Spanning over 1,000 acres, this park was named for the debris left behind by glaciers thousands of years ago. It features a challenging obstacle course, extensive hiking and biking trails, a disc golf course, and the Honda Wetlands area. It is a popular spot for school field trips, team-building retreats, and summer camp outings. Because the park is so expansive, having a central meeting point and reliable transportation is essential for keeping your group organized.
A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin provides the perfect base of operations for a day at Glacier Ridge. We can transport your group and all necessary equipment—whether that includes sports gear, picnic supplies, or bicycles—in the spacious undercarriage storage bays of our full-size coaches. Your driver can drop you off near the obstacle course or the shelter houses and will be there to pick you up when everyone is tired out. Avoid the hassle of coordinating parents to drive or stuffing equipment into trunks; let us handle the logistics so you can enjoy the park.
Glacier Ridge Metro Park 9801 Hyland-Croy Rd, Plain City, OH 43064
The Irish Fairy Door Trail
One of Dublin’s most charming and family-friendly activities is the Irish Fairy Door Trail. This city-wide scavenger hunt takes participants through Historic Dublin and Bridge Park to find tiny fairy doors located at various local businesses. It is a delightful activity for elementary school trips, birthday parties, or family reunions. Participants pick up a passport and collect stamps at each location, earning a free t-shirt upon completion. While the trail is walkable in sections, covering the entire route with a large group of children can be tiring and time-consuming.
By renting a minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, you can easily shuttle your group between the different zones of the Fairy Door Trail. We can drop you off in Historic Dublin to find the first set of doors, then transport everyone across the river to Bridge Park for the second half, saving little legs from getting too tired. This allows your group to complete the trail efficiently while still having time for ice cream or lunch. The drivers prioritize comfort, ensuring smooth loading and unloading for groups with children in busy areas.

How far in advance should I book my bus rental?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. For peak travel seasons, such as spring (proms and weddings ) and summer, it is best to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing.

Do I need to pay for the driver's hotel and food?
For local trips within Dublin or Columbus that do not require an overnight stay, you are not responsible for the driver's lodging. However, for multi-day trips where the group stays overnight away from home, the customer is required to provide a private hotel room for the driver to ensure they are well-rested and compliant with safety regulations. While you are not required to pay for the driver's meals, it is always appreciated, though not mandatory. Driver gratuity is generally discretionary but highly encouraged for excellent service.
