The driver arrived on time, the bus was clean and comfortable, and our students had a great ride. Customer service was responsive and answered all our questions quickly. It's nice to get you a company you can count on for important events like this. Would definitely use them again.
We used Shuttlebus.net for a school trip in Springfield and everything went exactly as planned. Driver was friendly, arrived on time, and got everyone there and back safely. This was my first time using them and I'd definitely call them again for future trips. Great experience from start to finish.
We needed a school bus for a last minute trip and Shuttlebus.net was the only company that could help us. They got us a school bus in Springfield with just a few days' notice and the driver was great. We will definitely use them again for our next trip. Thank you Shuttlebus.net!
Shuttlebus.net made our Springfield trip simple. I needed a school bus last-minute for a youth group and they actually picked up the phone, got me a price, and handled everything. Driver was early and the bus was in great shape for a school bus. This company actually delivers on what they promise. Will use them again next year.

A couple is hosting a destination wedding at Ewing Cultural Center in Bloomington-Normal and wants to arrange transportation for their guests from Springfield. They book a 56-passenger charter bus to transport their guests from a hotel block at the President Abraham Lincoln DoubleTree Hotel (701 E Adams St, Springfield, IL 62701) to the venue (48 Sunset Rd, Bloomington, IL 61701). The bus picks up guests at 1:00 PM, makes the 1.5-hour drive to Bloomington-Normal, and drops them off at the venue by 2:30 PM for a 3:00 PM ceremony. After the reception ends at 9:00 PM, the bus transports guests back to the hotel block in Springfield.The quote for the full-day charter bus rental comes to $1,880.
A local Springfield couple is planning a wedding at the Trailside Event Center in Peoria, IL. To keep their 100 guests organized and on time, the couple prefers to rent charter buses to transport them to their upcoming wedding. The couple plans to be picked up at their hotel in Springfield around 8:30 am, which is about a 1 hour and 30 minute drive to the event center. The event starts at 9:30 am and concludes around 5:30 pm, where they plan to be transported back to their hotel. They will have enough room to store presentation materials and carry-on bags.Their reservation specialist suggests two full-sized 56-passenger charter buses to provide the extra storage space and comfort. Because the charter buses will need to pick up the group at 5:30 pm, the company will be charged for a full day of service. Due to Peoria’s restrictive parking, the buses will need to park in a garage nearby and wait, which is an additional $30 per bus.The price of two charter bus rentals for a full day plus two parking permits comes to $6,920.
Estimated Travel Time: ~ 1 hour and 30 minutes
We had such a good experience! We used Shuttlebus.net for our wedding transportation in Springfield and everything went perfectly. The driver was on time, super friendly, and got everyone to the reception at the Crowne Plaza and back to our hotel at the end of the night without any issues. It made our day so much less stressful. Highly recommend!
Shuttlebus.net made our wedding transportation so easy. We had guests coming in from Chicago and St. Louis, and they handled everything perfectly. The driver was on time and friendly, and the party bus we used between the ceremony and reception was a huge hit. Everyone had a great time, and we didn't have to worry about anyone getting lost or driving after the reception.
We booked our wedding transportation with Shuttlebus.net and they made everything easy. The driver was on time and professional, and the bus was clean and comfortable. Our guests appreciated the ride from the church in Chatham back to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library for the reception, especially since parking downtown can be tricky. I'd definitely use them again.
We booked Shuttlebus.net for our wedding transportation and everything turned out great. We had guests staying at several hotels, so the driver picked everyone up at Wyndham Springfield City Centre and Hilton Garden Inn, then dropped everyone off at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum for the ceremony—right on time. The driver even made a late-night stop at Obed & Isaac’s for our afterparty. Super easy and affordable.
The easiest part of our wedding was transportation. We had a bunch of out-of-town guests staying at the Wyndham in downtown Springfield, so we booked a 35-passenger minibus to take everyone to our ceremony at Erin's Pavilion (which is about 15 minutes away in Southwind Park). The driver was on time, the bus was clean and air conditioned, and the price was super reasonable.
