A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Charlotte Motor Speedway
As the heart of racing country, Charlotte Motor Speedway (5555 Concord Pkwy S, Concord, NC 28027) is a logistical beast that attracts over 100,000 fans for the Coca-Cola 600. For large-scale events, our 56-passenger charter buses utilize the designated oversized vehicle entrance at Gate 25 off Morehead Road. This allows your group to bypass the primary fan traffic bottlenecking at the main Concord Parkway entrance. Buses typically park in the Rock City Campground or the designated bus lot behind the backstretch. We recommend arriving at least 3 hours before the green flag to ensure your driver can navigate the strictly enforced one-way traffic patterns implemented by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. Your motorcoach serves as a climate-controlled sanctuary during long race days, offering a place to escape the humid 90°F Carolina heat between qualifying rounds.
Concord Mills
Concord Mills (8111 Concord Mills Blvd, Concord, NC 28027) is the largest primary-entry tourist attraction in North Carolina, featuring over 200 stores. Navigating the 1.4-mile loop of Concord Mills Boulevard in a 35-passenger minibus during peak holiday shopping or a rainy Saturday can be frustrating. We coordinate drop-offs at Entrance 6 near the AMC Theatres and SEA LIFE Aquarium, where there is a wider curb for safe passenger unloading. Unlike personal vehicles that circle the 7,000-space lot for hours, your bus can utilize the designated bus parking stalls located in the outer ring of the parking lot near the Sun Valley Lane entrance. This keeps your group together for a coordinated departure time, ensuring no one gets lost in the massive 1.3 million-square-foot complex. The mall is open Monday-Thursday 11 am–8 pm, Friday-Saturday 10 am–9 pm, and Sunday 12 pm–6 pm.
Great Wolf Lodge Water Park
Great Wolf Lodge (10175 Weddington Rd, Concord, NC 28027) is a premier destination for school field trips and youth groups. For groups of 47 to 56 passengers, our school buses or motorcoaches enter via Weddington Road and utilize the dedicated bus drop-off lane located to the right of the main lobby entrance. Because the lodge stays at a consistent 84°F year-round, our climate-controlled buses are essential for keeping students comfortable during the transition back to the school. Note that the lodge does not allow outside bus parking in the main hotel guest lot; the drivers stage at the nearby zMAX Dragway overflow lot or the Concord Mills perimeter to keep the entrance clear. This ensures your chaperones can lead a quick, organized check-in at the group sales desk without blocking the busy resort driveway.
Cabarrus Arena & Events Center
The Cabarrus Arena & Events Center (4751 NC-49, Concord, NC 28025) hosts everything from the Cabarrus County Fair to regional cheerleading competitions. For events at the 140,000-square-foot facility, your Concord shuttle bus rental will enter through the main gate on Highway 49. We coordinate with arena staff for drop-offs directly at the front of the Event Center or the Arena building. Parking for oversized vehicles is typically directed to the gravel lots on the west side of the property. For multi-day trade shows, we can establish a shuttle loop between the arena and hotels along Bruton Smith Boulevard, allowing your attendees to avoid the morning rush on NC-49. The venue generally operates for events only, but the administrative office is open Monday-Friday 8 am–5 pm.
zMAX Dragway
Known as the "Bellagio of Drag Strips," zMAX Dragway (6570 Bruton Smith Blvd, Concord, NC 28027) is the only four-lane all-concrete drag strip in the world. During the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, traffic on Bruton Smith Boulevard is notoriously heavy. Our 25-passenger minibuses and 56-passenger motorcoaches provide a streamlined experience by utilizing the commercial vehicle entrance off Highway 29. Your driver will drop your group at the entrance to the East Grandstand before parking in the designated bus area in the zMAX dirt lot. This allows your group to "Roll straight in, rave freely, and ride out" without the $20+ parking fees per car. Onboard, your group can use the PA system to make announcements or review race brackets while the driver handles the post-race exit gridlock.
Frank Liske Park
For family reunions or church outings, the 238-acre Frank Liske Park (4001 Stough Rd, Concord, NC 28027) is the local favorite. Large groups booking a 56-passenger motorcoach should enter via the main Stough Road gate. The park features a specific loop near the main office and the silo where buses can safely unload passengers. Parking for oversized vehicles is available in the lower lot near the sports complex, provided you have a permit for large group gatherings. The park is open daily from 7 am until sunset. With a private Concord bus rental, you can store grills, coolers, and sports gear in the undercarriage luggage storage bays, keeping the interior clear for your passengers to relax in reclining seats after a day of mini-golf and paddle boating on the lake.
Gibson Mill
Gibson Mill (325 McGill Ave NW, Concord, NC 28027) is a massive adaptive-reuse project housing the Gibson Mill Market, breweries like High Branch Brewing Co., and a huge antique mall. Navigating the historic 325 McGill Ave entrance in a full-size coach requires a driver who knows the tight turns near the railroad tracks. We recommend drop-offs at the Market entrance where the lot is most expansive. For "Beer City" tours, a 15-passenger executive sprinter van with J-style seating and LED lighting is the perfect choice for a local brew crawl. Your driver acts as the built-in DD, so your group can enjoy the craft scene without worrying about navigating McGill Ave or Highway 601. The Antique Mall is open Monday-Saturday 10 am–7 pm and Sunday 1 pm–6 pm.
Atrium Health Ballpark
Located just minutes away in neighboring Kannapolis, Atrium Health Ballpark (1 N Research Campus Dr, Kannapolis, NC 28081) is the home of the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers. For fan groups, your 56-passenger motorcoach will drop off at the designated zone on West Avenue, directly across from the stadium's main entrance. Since the downtown Kannapolis "social district" makes street parking for large vehicles impossible, the drivers stage the buses at the nearby NC Research Campus parking lots. This allows your group to enjoy the 360-degree concourse and the "Out of this World" playground before boarding a climate-controlled bus for the 15-minute ride back to central Concord. Game times vary, but the box office opens at 10 am on game days.

It is fast, easy, and provides immediate transparency for your budget planning.
Where can a charter bus park in downtown Concord?
Downtown Concord’s historic streets are narrow, and street parking for a 56-passenger motorcoach is restricted. We typically drop off groups at the Cabarrus County Public Library (27 Union St N) and then have the drivers park at the designated oversized vehicle spaces at the Cabarrus County parking deck or near the courthouse to avoid blocking local traffic on Union Street.
Are your Concord bus rentals ADA-accessible?
Yes! We offer ADA-accessible charter bus rentals in Concord upon request at no extra charge. These vehicles can be equipped with wheelchair lifts, widened aisles, and securement areas to ensure every passenger travels safely. Just let our 24/7 team know your requirements when you call 336-296-1920.
Do your buses have restrooms and WiFi?
Most of our 40 to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches come equipped with onboard restrooms, high-speed WiFi, and power outlets at every seat. Our 15–35 passenger minibuses typically offer WiFi and climate control but may not have a restroom. You can check the specific amenities for each vehicle when you view your instant online quote.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Yes, you can bring food and drinks on your Concord shuttle bus rental! We ask that you keep the bus clean and avoid glass containers for safety.
