A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Permian Basin Petroleum Museum
You cannot visit Midland without understanding the industry that built it. The Permian Basin Petroleum Museum is not just a museum; it is an immersive journey through 230 million years of history. It offers a fascinating look at the geological forces that created the oil-rich basin and the human ingenuity that tapped into it. Your group can walk through a recreation of a 1920s boomtown, see the world’s largest collection of antique oil drilling equipment, and explore the Chaparral Race Car Gallery, which features the vintage racing cars of Jim Hall.
Why Visit by Charter Bus: The Petroleum Museum is a massive complex, and it is a popular destination for school field trips and corporate groups. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Midland, you ensure that your group arrives together and on time for scheduled guided tours. For school groups, our buses offer a secure, climate-controlled environment for headcounts and briefings before entering the museum. For corporate groups, the bus provides a professional atmosphere to discuss business before a tour or an event at the museum’s conference facilities. We can drop your group right at the main entrance, sparing you the walk from the far ends of the parking lot under the blazing sun.
Address: 1500 I-20, Midland, TX 79701
George W. Bush Childhood Home
Step back in time to the 1950s at the George W. Bush Childhood Home. This modest home is where two future U.S. Presidents (George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush) and a First Lady (Barbara Bush) lived. The home has been impeccably restored to its 1950s appearance, offering a unique glimpse into the early lives of one of America's most influential families. Groups can take guided tours to see the family’s living room, kitchen, and the boys' bedroom, learning about the history of Midland during the post-war oil boom along the way.
Why Visit by Charter Bus: Located in a residential neighborhood, parking multiple vehicles here can be difficult and disruptive to the neighbors. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Midland is the perfect solution. Your driver can drop your group off curbside for your tour and park in a designated area nearby until you are ready to leave. This is an excellent stop for senior tour groups, history classes, or political enthusiasts. The air-conditioned cabin of our buses is a welcome relief after a walking tour of the grounds.

Museum of the Southwest
For a dose of culture, art, and science, the Museum of the Southwest is a must-visit destination. Housed in the historic Turner Mansion, a 1934 home listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum features extensive collections of art from the American Southwest. The campus also includes the Marian West and William Blanton Blakemore Planetarium, which offers star shows and dome movies that are fantastic for educational groups. The lush grounds are perfect for a picnic or a leisurely stroll, making it a relaxing stop on your itinerary.
Why Visit by Charter Bus: The Museum of the Southwest creates a multi-faceted itinerary that can take up half a day or more. If you are coordinating a school field trip or a large private tour, keeping track of everyone between the mansion, the planetarium, and the children's museum on-site can be tricky if everyone drives separately. With a charter bus rental, you have a central meeting point. Plus, our buses come with plenty of undercarriage storage, perfect for storing packed lunches or art supplies for student workshops. Your driver handles the navigation through the historic district, ensuring a stress-free experience.

I-20 Wildlife Preserve & Jenna Welch Nature Study Center
Experience the natural beauty of the Llano Estacado at the I-20 Wildlife Preserve. This 86-acre urban playa lake wetland is a hidden oasis in the desert, offering a habitat for innovative wildlife including bobcats, badgers, porcupines, and thousands of migratory birds. It features 3.4 miles of trails, boardwalks, and observation blinds, making it a fantastic destination for nature lovers, photography clubs, and biology classes. It is a quiet, serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the oil industry.
Why Visit by Charter Bus: Accessing nature preserves often involves navigating unpaved or tricky parking situations for standard cars. A charter bus rental ensures that your group gets there comfortably. For bird-watching groups or photography clubs, a charter bus offers ample overhead storage for delicate camera equipment, tripods, and binoculars. After a hike in the dry West Texas heat, there is nothing better than stepping onto a bus cooled to a comfortable 68 degrees and grabbing a cold water from your onboard cooler.

Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center
Technically located right between Midland and Odessa, the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center is the crown jewel of the region's arts scene. This stunning, modern facility hosts everything from Broadway touring productions and symphony orchestras to rock concerts and comedy shows. With its distinctive architecture rising from the plains, it is a landmark destination for evening entertainment. Whether you are planning a corporate gala, a university event for UTPB, or a group outing to see a show, this is the place to be.
Why Visit by Charter Bus: Traffic along Highway 191 can get congested before a big show. By renting a luxury minibus or charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Midland, you elevate the entire evening. We can provide shuttle services from Midland hotels directly to the theater entrance. Your group can enjoy cocktails or dinner in town before the show, and then ride together to the performance without worrying about parking fees or finding a designated driver. It transforms a simple night out into a VIP experience.

Scharbauer Sports Complex
Home to the Midland RockHounds (the Double-A affiliate of the Oakland Athletics) and the West Texas FC, the Scharbauer Sports Complex is the epicenter of sports in Midland. The complex includes Momentum Bank Ballpark and the Astound Broadband Stadium. It is the perfect destination for sports teams traveling for tournaments, as well as fan groups looking to catch a game. The energy here is electric, especially during a Friday night game with fireworks.
Why Visit by Charter Bus: Tailgating and sports go hand-in-hand. When you book a charter bus for a sporting event, you have massive undercarriage storage bays to haul coolers, grills, tents, and chairs. If you are a traveling team, this storage is essential for uniforms, bats, helmets, and pads. A charter bus allows the team to travel together, review plays on the onboard TV monitors, and rest in reclining seats before hitting the field. For fans, it means the party starts the moment you board the bus and ends safely at your front door.

Susie's South Forty Confections
No trip to Midland is complete without a stop at Susie's South Forty Confections. Famous for their Texas Trash (a custom blend of cereals, pretzels, and pecans covered in white chocolate) and their pecan toffee, this candy factory is a legendary local business. Visitors can see the candy-making process in action and browse the massive gift shop. It is a sweet stop for tour groups of all ages, and it holds the Guinness World Record for the largest piece of toffee ever created.
Why Visit by Charter Bus: This is a popular stop for large tour groups passing through West Texas. Our charter buses have plenty of room for passengers to stash their bags of souvenirs and sweets in the overhead bins. If you are organizing a corporate tour or a spouse's program during a convention, Susie's is a crowd-pleaser that is easily accessible by bus. Your driver can drop you at the door so you can load up on sugar without melting in the parking lot.
