A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Rock Out at the Don Haskins Center
When the biggest names in music come to West Texas, they almost always make a stop at the Don Haskins Center. Located on the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) campus, "The Don" is a legendary arena that seats over 12,000 fans. It has hosted everyone from Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones to Bad Bunny and Khalid (El Paso's hometown hero). The energy here is electric, but because it is located in the heart of a university campus, navigating the area can be tricky—especially when classes are in session or during major university events.
Parking around Glory Road and Mesa Street often fills up hours before the doors open, and surge pricing for rideshares can skyrocket immediately after the encore. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company El Paso, you bypass these headaches entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the entrance for a true VIP experience. While you head in to grab your merch and find your seats, your driver handles the parking logistics. After the show, you won't be standing on a curb waving down a taxi; your comfortable, climate-controlled bus will be waiting to take you to your next destination, whether that’s back home or out for late-night tacos at Chico’s Tacos.

Experience the Magic of the Plaza Theatre
For a night of sophistication and historic beauty, there is no better venue than the Plaza Theatre in downtown El Paso. Built in 1930 and painstakingly restored to its original Spanish Colonial Revival grandeur, this atmospheric theater is a National Historic Building of Significance. It is the home of the Plaza Classic Film Festival—the world's largest festival dedicated to classic cinema—and regularly hosts Broadway tours, the El Paso Symphony Orchestra, and intimate concerts. The interior features a painted ceiling with twinkling stars and drifting clouds, giving the illusion of sitting in an outdoor courtyard.
However, the Plaza Theatre is smack in the middle of downtown, where parking garages are often tight, expensive, and a fair walking distance from the venue. This can be difficult if your group includes elderly guests or anyone dressed in formal wear for a gala or opera. Charter Bus Rental Company El Paso specializes in providing seamless shuttle services for these high-end events. We can pick up your group from hotels, offices, or residences and provide curb-side service near San Jacinto Plaza. Your group can arrive in style, perhaps on a sleek minibus or a premium motorcoach, ensuring that the elegance of the evening starts the moment you leave your doorstep.

Catch the Action at the Sun Bowl Stadium
Carved directly into the Franklin Mountains, the Sun Bowl Stadium offers one of the most picturesque settings for live events in the country. While it is most famous for the annual Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl football game and UTEP Miners football, the stadium also transforms into a massive concert venue for stadium tours—think The Rolling Stones or One Direction. With a capacity exceeding 50,000, the atmosphere is thunderous and unforgettable. However, 50,000 people also means 50,000 people’s worth of traffic on Sun Bowl Drive and Schuster Avenue.
This is where Charter Bus Rental Company El Paso truly shines. If you are organizing a large group of alumni, a student organization, or just a massive group of friends, a 56-passenger charter bus is the ultimate tailgating vehicle. Our buses come with massive undercarriage storage bays, meaning you can pack coolers, folding chairs, tents, and banners with ease. Your group can travel together, hype up the game or concert on the bus’s PA system, and enjoy a safe ride home after a long day in the sun. We handle the traffic jams so you can handle the cheering.

Enjoy Outdoor Vibes at McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre
For a truly uniquely El Paso experience, you have to see a show at the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre. Tucked away within the Franklin Mountains State Park, this open-air venue is surrounded by towering canyon walls that create natural acoustics and breathtaking scenery. It is best known for hosting "Viva! El Paso," a musical drama that celebrates the four major cultures that have influenced the Sun City. During the summer, it also hosts "Cool Canyon Nights," a series of free concerts featuring local bands.
The road up to the canyon is winding and scenic, but parking is limited and can involve a bit of a hike to the seating area. If you are coordinating a trip for a senior center, a church group, or a school field trip, accessibility is key. Charter Bus Rental Company El Paso can provide a shuttle bus rental that navigates the canyon roads safely and drops your passengers as close to the amphitheater entrance as possible. Plus, the desert evenings can get chilly; having a warm bus waiting for you at the end of the show is a luxury your group will appreciate.

Festivals and Fairs at El Paso County Coliseum
The El Paso County Coliseum is a versatile powerhouse for events. It is the go-to spot for everything from Disney on Ice and the Shrine Circus to heavy metal concerts and authentic rodeos. It has a gritty, authentic charm that locals love. The venue often hosts events that attract families and large community groups, which inevitably leads to a chaotic parking situation along Paisano Drive.
If you are a school administrator planning a trip to the circus, or a large family planning a reunion around a concert, keeping everyone organized in a crowded parking lot is a nightmare. With Charter Bus Rental Company El Paso, we keep your headcount secure. We can arrange for a fleet of buses for large school districts or a single minibus for a private family outing. Drivers know the layout of the Coliseum’s drop-off zones intimately, ensuring a smooth arrival and departure process. With onboard amenities like WiFi and DVD players (available on request), you can keep the kids entertained during the ride, making the trip stress-free for chaperones and parents alike.

Intimate Shows at The Lowbrow Palace
Not every great event happens in a stadium. For indie rock fans, alternative music lovers, and those looking to discover the next big thing, The Lowbrow Palace is the place to be. Recently relocated to a new, larger spot near downtown, Lowbrow creates an intimate, high-energy atmosphere perfect for bands like Beach House, Foster the People, or local El Paso favorites. It’s a standing-room-heavy venue with a great bar and patio.
This venue is a favorite for bachelor and bachelorette parties or birthday celebrations. If you are planning a night out with 15 or 20 friends to catch a band, the last thing you want is to split into five different rideshares or worry about designated drivers. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company El Paso is the perfect solution. It acts as your private limousine for the night. We can pick you up, take you to dinner at a nearby spot like Elemi or Taconeta, drop you at Lowbrow for the show, and ensure everyone gets home safely at the end of the night.
The Lowbrow Palace 1006 Texas Ave, El Paso, TX 79901
Annual Festivals You Can't Miss
El Paso comes alive with festivals throughout the year, and these events draw crowds from all over New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. The Plaza Classic Film Festival in August turns downtown into a cinephile's paradise. WinterFest transforms the city center into a winter wonderland with lights, parades, and ice skating. And events like Sun City Pride celebrate the diversity and spirit of the region.
Transportation during these festivals is notoriously difficult due to road closures, detours, and scarce parking. Charter Bus Rental Company El Paso offers event shuttle services that are perfect for festival organizers or large attending groups. We can set up a shuttle loop to transport attendees from remote parking lots to the festival grounds, or bring groups from hotels in East El Paso or Las Cruces directly to the festivities. Our buses are equipped with air conditioning—a non-negotiable necessity for El Paso's outdoor summer festivals—providing a cool oasis for your group to relax in before and after hitting the crowds.

Frequently Asked Questions About El Paso Concert Transportation
How far in advance should I book for a major concert?
El Paso hosts some major acts, and when big names like Elton John or Metallica come to the Sun Bowl or Don Haskins Center, buses sell out quickly. We highly recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your tickets and confirmed group size—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. Booking early not only guarantees availability but also often secures you the best possible rate. However, if you have a last-minute need, call us at 575-240-7650, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Do you serve areas outside El Paso city limits?
Absolutely. Charter Bus Rental Company El Paso serves the entire region. We regularly transport groups from Las Cruces, New Mexico, Anthony, Horizon City, Socorro, and Fabens. If you are coming from further away, such as Albuquerque or Midland/Odessa, we can handle long-distance charters as well. While we generally do not take our buses across the international border into Juarez due to insurance regulations, we can provide seamless transportation to and from the pedestrian border crossings.
Is there room for tailgating gear?
Yes! If you book a full-size 56-passenger charter bus, you will have access to spacious undercarriage luggage bays. These compartments are perfect for storing coolers, folding tables, chairs, tents, and even portable grills (as long as they are clean and free of fuel/propane during transport). Minibuses have less storage space, so if you are planning a heavy tailgate, let your reservation specialist know so we can match you with the right vehicle size.
Can the bus wait for us during the concert?
Yes, your bus rental is yours for the duration of your reservation. Your driver will drop you off at the venue and then park in a designated area nearby. You can leave personal belongings on the bus (though we recommend taking valuables with you). If you have booked the bus for the entire evening, the driver will be ready and waiting to pick you up at the designated spot as soon as the event ends. This eliminates the wait times associated with rideshares and ensures a safe, immediate departure.
