Why Rent a Bus With Charter Bus Rental Company Lima?
As a group travel and event planner, you’re probably tired of choosing between a variety of transportation options. Should you make your colleagues drive themselves? Not a great option, since you’ll need to keep up with mileage reimbursements or other additional travel costs, plus, it won’t always be reliable. Will you arrange a carpool chain? Splitting into multiple vehicles will require delegating navigation and making sure everyone arrives on time together at your destinations. And no one wants to be stuck on a crowded public city bus. With a private bus rental through Charter Bus Rental Company Lima, all of your transportation concerns are handled with ease. Each and every one of our buses includes the services of a charter bus driver, as well as the comforts and amenities that you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere—free WiFi, personal power outlets, TVs, a PA system, and an on-board lavatory!

Downtown
Downtown Lima is located on the western side of town near the historic district. If you need a quick pick up or drop off with your bus at Allen County Museum, your charter bus driver can easily shuttle your group from Downtown Lima. Explore shopping, dining, or see a show at the historic Ohio Theatre downtown. The Ohio Theatre was built in 1927 as a grand and ornate Vaudeville movie palace and reopened in 1969 after being purchased by the Lima Symphony Orchestra. Today, it continues to serve as the symphony’s performance venue.
South Lima
Located south of Shawnee Township, the residential area of South Lima offers beautiful Victorian-style homes and other 20th-century architecture that is well worth stopping to admire.

Town Square
Downtown Lima is home to the city’s public square, Town Square. This commercial and civic area is the neighborhood for visitors and locals alike looking to explore local businesses, art spaces, entertainment venues, and community events. Visit ArtSpace/Lima, stroll around the square to enjoy photo-ops of historic buildings, shop at independent retail stores like Groovy Dave’s Records and More, grab pizza and local brews at Zinum 12, or check out the city’s events calendar to explore the many concerts and festivals that take place in this bustling downtown area. If your group has plans in this historic neighborhood, having a charter bus drop you off near Town Square at the beginning of the day and then pick you up once you’re done exploring is an ideal transportation plan, especially if you plan on visiting the shops and breweries along the way.
