A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Navigating Key West International Airport (EYW) with a Group
Key West International Airport (3491 S Roosevelt Blvd, Key West, FL 33040) is the gateway to the Southernmost City, welcoming visitors with its charming, island-style atmosphere. However, despite its smaller size compared to mainland hubs, coordinating ground transportation for a large group here can still be a logistical challenge without a plan. Taxis and rideshares are often limited, especially during peak travel seasons or when multiple flights land simultaneously. By reserving a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Key West, you ensure that a vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group, eliminating wait times and the scramble for available cars. Your driver will be waiting at the designated commercial vehicle pick-up area, ready to load your luggage and get you on your way to your accommodation, whether it’s the grandeur of the Casa Marina Key West or a boutique guest house near Duval Street.
We understand that flight delays happen, and travel plans can change in an instant. That’s why our reservation specialists are available 24/7 to adjust your itinerary as needed. When you fly into EYW, you want to get into "island mode" immediately. A private shuttle allows your group to stay together, debrief after the flight, and start the fun right away. The drivers are locals who know the ins and outs of the airport's loop and the best routes to avoid traffic on South Roosevelt Boulevard. We handle the parking fees and navigation so you don't have to. Whether you are a wedding party arriving for a weekend of festivities or a corporate team flying in for a conference at the Opal Key Resort & Marina, a dedicated airport transfer is the most reliable way to start your trip on the right foot.
Long-Distance Transfers from Miami and Fort Lauderdale
While flying directly into Key West is convenient, many groups choose to fly into Miami International Airport (2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33126) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (100 Terminal Dr, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315) due to a wider variety of flight options and often lower fares. However, the drive from the mainland to Key West is approximately 160 miles and can take upwards of three to four hours. Driving this route in a caravan of rental cars can be exhausting, stressful, and prone to separation. With Charter Bus Rental Company Key West, you can turn this long drive into a highlight of your trip. We offer comfortable, long-distance charter bus rentals that pick you up curbside at MIA or FLL and transport you directly to your Key West destination. This allows your group to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery of the Overseas Highway without the fatigue of driving.
The journey down US-1 is iconic, crossing 42 bridges, including the famous Seven Mile Bridge. When you rent a luxury motorcoach, your group can enjoy panoramic views from large windows, reclining seats, and climate-controlled comfort. You can even plan stops along the way! Want to grab a bite in Islamorada or feed the tarpon at Robbie’s? Just let us know when you book your trip, and we can build a custom itinerary that turns your airport transfer into a sightseeing tour. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with onboard restrooms, which is a game-changer for a four-hour drive, as well as amenities like WiFi and power outlets to keep everyone entertained and connected. By the time you arrive in Key West, your group will be rested, refreshed, and ready to enjoy everything the island has to offer.
The Perfect Fleet for Island Travel: Minibuses to Motorcoaches
Choosing the right vehicle is crucial for a successful trip to Key West. The island’s historic Old Town features narrow streets and tight turns that can be difficult for larger vehicles to navigate. At Charter Bus Rental Company Key West, we offer a diverse fleet to suit the specific needs of your group and your itinerary. For smaller groups or those staying in the heart of Old Town, our 18-passenger to 25-passenger minibuses are the ideal solution. These compact yet comfortable vehicles can easily maneuver through streets like Whitehead and Simonton, dropping you off right at the door of attractions like the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum (907 Whitehead St, Key West, FL 33040) or your hotel. They are perfect for airport transfers, dinner shuttles, and quick trips around the island.
For larger groups, such as school field trips, sports teams, or large corporate conventions, our 56-passenger full-size charter buses are the best option. These buses offer ample undercarriage storage for luggage, sports equipment, or band instruments, ensuring that the cabin remains clutter-free and comfortable. While these larger buses are perfect for the journey from the airport or the mainland, our team can advise on the best drop-off points if your final destination is on a particularly narrow street. We can coordinate a "meet and greet" strategy where the large bus parks in a designated area, and smaller shuttles or a short walk complete the journey. No matter the size of your group, we ensure you have a modern and clean vehicle that meets the highest comfort standards.
Premium Amenities for Your Florida Keys Journey
In the heat of the Florida sun, comfort is paramount. All of the buses in the Charter Bus Rental Company Key West fleet are equipped with powerful air conditioning systems to keep you cool and comfortable from the moment you step onboard. But we don't stop at just AC. We know that modern travelers need to stay connected, which is why many of our buses feature free WiFi and power outlets at every seat. This allows corporate travelers to catch up on emails, students to stream music, and everyone to keep their devices charged for capturing photos of the beautiful scenery. For the long drive from Miami or Fort Lauderdale, having onboard entertainment like flat-screen TVs with DVD players can make the time fly by, keeping kids and adults alike entertained.
Comfort extends to the seating as well. Our charter buses feature plush, reclining seats with plenty of legroom, far superior to the cramped conditions of an airplane or a standard car. You can stretch out, relax, and even take a nap after a long flight. For groups traveling with significant amounts of luggage—whether it’s scuba gear for a diving trip at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park or golf clubs for a round at the Key West Golf Club—our buses offer extensive storage solutions. Overhead bins are perfect for personal items, while spacious undercarriage bays handle the heavy lifting. When you book with us, you’re not just getting a ride; you’re getting a premium travel experience designed to make your transition to paradise as smooth as possible.
Specialized Services for Weddings and Corporate Events
Key West is a premier destination for weddings and corporate retreats, and Charter Bus Rental Company Key West is the expert in handling the unique transportation logistics these events require. For weddings, we can arrange a seamless shuttle service to transport your guests from the airport to their hotels, and then between venues on the big day. Imagine your guests arriving at your beach ceremony at Smathers Beach or your reception at the Audubon House & Tropical Gardens (205 Whitehead St, Key West, FL 33040) in a stylish, air-conditioned bus, free from the stress of finding parking or navigating unfamiliar streets. We can even organize transportation for bachelor and bachelorette parties, ensuring everyone has a designated driver for a night out on Duval Street.
For corporate clients, reliability and professionalism are key. We provide executive shuttle services for conferences, team-building events, and incentive trips. Whether you need to transport a team from the airport to the Margaritaville Beach House Key West (2001 S Roosevelt Blvd, Key West, FL 33040) or coordinate a fleet of buses for a large convention, we have the resources and expertise to execute flawlessly. Our reservation specialists can work with your event planners to create a custom manifest and schedule, ensuring that every VIP and attendee is accounted for. We understand that business doesn't stop when you travel, which is why our buses offer the environment and amenities needed to stay productive on the go. Let us handle the logistics so you can focus on business and bonding.
Comfort, Reliability, and Local Expertise
When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Key West, comfort is our top priority.
