A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Scarborough Renaissance Festival
Running eight weekends from April through Memorial Day, the Scarborough Renaissance Festival (2511 FM 66, Waxahachie, TX 75167) is a massive 35-acre village that draws thousands of daily visitors. Navigating FM 66 during the morning rush (10:00 AM – 11:30 AM) is notoriously slow as traffic backs up from I-35E. For large groups, a 56-passenger charter bus is the only way to travel; while passenger cars are funneled into grassy, often muddy fields, the drivers utilize the designated bus drop-off point near the Front Gate (Gate 1). This allows your "villagers" to unload on solid ground before the bus moves to the oversized vehicle staging area. The festival is open from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Pro tip: Avoid the West Gate for bus unloading as the turn radius is too restrictive for full-sized coaches.
Ellis County Courthouse & Historic Downtown Square
The Ellis County Courthouse (101 W Main St, Waxahachie, TX 75165) is arguably the most photographed building in Texas. Located at the intersection of Main and Rogers, the square is a nightmare for oversized vehicle parking. If you are planning a legal seminar or a historic tour, do not attempt to park a 35-passenger minibus on the square. We instruct the drivers to perform a "rolling drop-off" on the North side of the courthouse on Franklin Street. From there, the bus can stage at the Getzendaner Park overflow lot (400 S Grand Ave) until your group is ready for pickup. Most downtown shops operate 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM, but the square stays busy late into the evening with diners.
Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU)
Located at 1200 Sycamore St, Waxahachie, TX 75165, the SAGU campus is a frequent destination for prospective student tours and Lions athletic events. For basketball games at the Sheaffer Full Life Center, buses must enter via the Sycamore Street main entrance. Parking for a 56-passenger motorcoach is restricted to the large lot behind the Garrison Wellness Center. Navigating the campus requires a driver who understands the low-hanging pecans and narrow residential access points. We frequently provide 15-passenger executive Sprinter vans for visiting faculty or recruitment teams, allowing for easier movement between the administrative buildings and local hotels like the Hampton Inn on 287.
Waxahachie Civic Center
The Waxahachie Civic Center (2000 Civic Center Ln, Waxahachie, TX 75165 is the hub for local conventions and trade shows. Located just off US-287, it offers much easier access than downtown locations. However, during large events like the Gingerbread Trail, the primary lot fills instantly. Our 25-passenger or 35-passenger minibuses are ideal here, as they can utilize the semicircular drive directly in front of the main lobby for ADA-accessible boarding. If you’re bringing a full 56-passenger coach, the driver will need to park in the designated "Oversized/Trailer" spaces on the North end of the complex. The facility is typically open for events from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, though evening galas are common.
Getzendaner Memorial Park & Chautauqua Auditorium
Home to the historic Chautauqua Auditorium (400 S Grand Ave, Waxahachie, TX 75165), this park is a staple for family reunions and summer concerts. The park’s entrance on Grand Avenue features a height-restricted canopy that a full-sized motorcoach cannot clear. We utilize the service entrance off Grand Ave for bus access, dropping groups off within walking distance of the auditorium. If your group is planning to hike the Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail, we can drop you at Getzendaner and meet you 4 miles away at the Lions Park trailhead (521 W Main St). This "one-way" trek is only possible with a private shuttle bus rental, saving your group the walk back in the Texas heat.
Texas Motorplex
Located just 10 minutes east on Highway 287 (7522 E Hwy 287, Ennis, TX 75119), the Texas Motorplex is the premier drag racing facility in the region, famous for the NHRA FallNationals. Traffic on race weekends is a literal standstill on 287. Our 56-passenger charter buses allow fans to start the party early with climate control and reclining seats while we navigate the "Bus/RV Only" lane. Unlike the "Bad Click" of trying to find your car in a sea of 40,000 people, we coordinate specific pickup times in the VIP lot near the Champion’s Club. Be prepared for high noise levels; our buses offer a quiet sanctuary for guests to retreat to between heats.
Poston Gardens / Daylilies & Tulips
During the spring tulip bloom, Poston Gardens (1711 W Hwy 287 Business, Waxahachie, TX 75165) attracts massive crowds for photography and floral tours. The parking lot is gravel and can become treacherous for heavy vehicles after a typical Texas thunderstorm. We recommend our 25-passenger minibuses for this venue, as they handle the unpaved surfaces better than a 15-ton motorcoach. The gardens are generally open 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM during bloom season. We provide door-to-door service, meaning your group doesn't have to trudge through the mud from the overflow parking areas located further down the 287 Business loop.
Railyard Park
As one of Waxahachie’s newest additions, Railyard Park (455 S College St, Waxahachie, TX 75165) features an amphitheater and splash pad that is perfect for youth groups and church outings. Located near the active railroad tracks, the area has very limited street parking. For a 47-passenger school bus rental or a 50-passenger party bus, the best strategy is a drop-off at the corner of S College and Elm St. Your driver can then stage the vehicle at the nearby empty lots under the viaduct. This venue is central to the "Rail District," making it a great starting point for a walking tour of local breweries and shops before your bus whisks you back to the hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Waxahachie Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Waxahachie?
Pricing depends on your specific itinerary, passenger count, and the time of year. For example, a 56-passenger motorcoach during the Scarborough Renaissance Festival peak will differ from a mid-week corporate transfer. You can get an instant, personalized quote in 30-seconds by calling 903-749-9035.
Where can a charter bus park in downtown Waxahachie?
Oversized parking is extremely limited on the historic square. Most drivers utilize the Getzendaner Park overflow lot or designated areas near the Civic Center after dropping passengers off at the Courthouse or local restaurants.
Do you offer ADA-accessible buses in Waxahachie?
Yes, we can provide 56-passenger motorcoaches and select minibuses equipped with wheelchair lifts and widened aisles. Please let our reservation team know at least 48 hours in advance so we can ensure the specific vehicle is assigned to your route.
What is the best way to transport a group to the Texas Motorplex?
Due to heavy congestion on Highway 287 during NHRA events, we recommend a 56-passenger charter bus. This allows your group to stay together and utilize the designated bus entry lanes, bypassing much of the general admission traffic.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Absolutely. Most of our charter buses and party buses allow food and drinks. We just ask that you keep the aisles clear for safety and utilize the provided waste bins to keep the climate-controlled cabin clean for the duration of your trip.
