A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Old Salem Museums & Gardens
Old Salem (600 S Main St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) is the centerpiece of Winston-Salem’s heritage, attracting over 400,000 visitors annually. For school field trips and history tours, this living history site is a logistical challenge due to the narrow, cobblestone-lined streets of the historic district. Buses are prohibited from idling on Main Street to preserve the 18th-century atmosphere. Instead, your driver will utilize the designated bus drop-off zone located at the Old Salem Visitor Center on Old Salem Road. After unloading your students or tour group, the 56-passenger motorcoach can park in the oversized vehicle lot located at the corner of Salt and Academy Streets. The site is generally open Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. A private 25-passenger minibus is the ideal choice for navigating the tight turns around the T. Bagge Merchant and the Winkler Bakery without getting stuck in local neighborhood traffic.
Truist Stadium
Truist Stadium (951 Ballpark Way, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) is home to the Winston-Salem Dash, the High-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. During the 70-game home season, the downtown area near Business 40 (now Salem Parkway) becomes a bottleneck. Don't subject your fan group to the $10-$20 per car parking fees or the hunt for a spot in the nearby gravel lots. Charter Bus Winston-Salem provides a seamless game-day experience by dropping your group at the Broad Street entrance. For large fan groups or alumni associations, we recommend a 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage storage for tailgating gear and coolers. While the stadium does not have an on-site oversized lot, the drivers typically stage the vehicles at the city-managed lots near the Benton Convention Center, returning for a precise pickup at the conclusion of the ninth inning. This ensures your group avoids the post-game gridlock on Peters Creek Parkway.
Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum (LJVM)
The LJVM Coliseum (2825 University Pkwy, Winston-Salem, NC 27105) is the premier venue for Wake Forest Demon Deacons basketball and major touring concerts. With a capacity of over 14,000, the intersection of University Parkway and Deacon Boulevard is notorious for gridlock during ACC matchups. For athletic teams or fan groups, we recommend entering via Gate 1 off University Parkway. Charter buses have a specific parking area in the Gold Lot, which usually carries a $20-$30 fee for oversized vehicles—a fraction of the cost of parking a caravan of 15 cars. Our 35-passenger minibuses are equipped with climate control and reclining seating, allowing players to rest after a game while the driver navigates the heavy traffic flowing toward Silas Creek Parkway. Using a private shuttle allows your group to bypass the long lines for the shuttle buses provided by the university, getting you on the road and back to the hotel faster.
Reynolda House Museum of American Art
Reynolda House (2250 Reynolda Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27106) sits on the historic estate of R.J. and Katharine Reynolds. This 170-acre estate features the museum, formal gardens, and Reynolda Village shops. The entrance off Reynolda Road is scenic but features a low-hanging tree canopy and narrow lanes that can be tricky for 56-passenger motorcoaches. We recommend using an executive 15-passenger sprinter van for corporate retreats or small garden clubs to maintain easy maneuverability. For larger groups, buses must drop off passengers at the main museum entrance and then move to the designated bus parking stalls located at the far end of the Reynolda Village parking lot, near the Silo. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and Sunday, 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Mentioning a stop at the nearby Graylyn Estate? We can coordinate a multi-stop loop that avoids the heavy commuter traffic on NW Crawford Place.
Benton Convention Center
Located in the heart of downtown, the Benton Convention Center (301 W 5th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) recently underwent a $20 million renovation. It is the hub for Winston-Salem’s corporate and convention life, connected via skywalk to the Marriott and Embassy Suites. Navigating a full-size coach bus through the one-way street system of 5th and 6th Streets during a city-wide conference is a job for a professional. Your driver will utilize the designated commercial loading zone on Cherry Street for safe attendee unloading. Since downtown garages have height restrictions that prohibit charter buses, we stage our 56-passenger motorcoaches at the off-site marshaling yard on North Liberty Street. This allows your convention attendees to enjoy the amenities of a high-end bus—like onboard WiFi and power outlets—without the stress of hunting for a parking garage that fits a 13-foot tall vehicle.
Innovation Quarter
The Innovation Quarter (525 Vine St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) is a 330-acre mixed-use district home to more than 170 companies and the Wake Forest School of Medicine. For tech teams and medical professionals, punctuality is non-negotiable. Don't let your staff waste time merging onto U.S. 52 or searching for a spot in the Link Apartments parking deck. We provide daily employee shuttle bus rentals that loop from satellite parking lots or the Greensboro/High Point areas directly to the Bailey Power Plant entrance. Our 25-passenger minibuses are the perfect size for these urban routes, offering a quiet environment with tinted windows and reclining leather seating. If your team is staying at the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel, we can arrange a 5-minute shuttle transfer to avoid the walk across the 4th Street bridge during humid North Carolina summers.
Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA)
SECCA (750 Marguerite Dr, Winston-Salem, NC 27106) offers a unique fusion of a historic estate and modern gallery spaces. It is a favorite for private weddings and gala events. The driveway leading to the Marguerite Drive entrance is winding and relatively narrow for large-scale transportation. For wedding guest shuttles, we often utilize 15-passenger luxury limo sprinters to provide a high-end experience that fits comfortably in the SECCA turn-around circle. For larger events, our 56-passenger motorcoaches unload passengers at the top of the drive before parking in the lower lot area. The museum is open until 8:00 PM on Thursdays, making it a prime spot for evening corporate mixers. Using Charter Bus Winston-Salem ensures your donors or employees can enjoy the bar service at your event with a guaranteed designated driver for the return trip to downtown.
Tanglewood Park
Tanglewood Park (4061 Clemmons Rd, Clemmons, NC 27012) is located just 10 minutes west of Winston-Salem and hosts the massive Festival of Lights annually, which sees over 250,000 visitors. Navigating the park during the holiday season in a personal vehicle can involve a 2-3 hour wait in line on Clemmons Road. However, charter buses have a "fast-track" option for the Festival of Lights! By booking a 56-passenger charter bus, your group can enter through the designated commercial entrance, significantly reducing wait times. For summer company picnics at the Peter S. Brunstetter Aquatic Center or the Tanglewood Stables, our buses provide a climate-controlled sanctuary from the heat. Buses are required to pay a $25-$50 entry fee depending on the event, but the trade-off is dropping your group directly at the Manor House or the Rose Garden instead of having them hike from the overflow grass lots.

Frequently Asked Questions About Winston Salem Group Travel Transportation

Where do charter buses park at Truist Stadium?
Truist Stadium (951 Ballpark Way) does not have a dedicated on-site bus lot. Drivers typically drop groups at the main gates on Broad Street and then move to off-site staging areas, such as the open lots near the Benton Convention Center or the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds, returning for pickup after the game ends.
Do you offer ADA-accessible buses in North Carolina?
Absolutely. Charter Bus Winston-Salem offers ADA-accessible 56-passenger motorcoaches and minibuses equipped with wheelchair lifts, widened aisles, and securement tie-downs. Please let our reservation team know at least 48 hours in advance so we can ensure the specific vehicle with these features is assigned to your Winston-Salem itinerary.
What is the best way to handle airport transfers to GSO?
For groups flying into Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), a private airport shuttle is far more efficient than waiting for rideshares. Your driver will meet your group at the designated commercial ground transportation curb located outside the lower-level baggage claim. From GSO, it is a 25-minute drive via I-40 East to reach downtown Winston-Salem.
