A hotel shuttle for groups is a chartered bus that runs a set schedule between your hotel block and the places your group needs to be, such as a convention center, wedding venue, airport or cruise port. Unlike a hotel's own courtesy van, it runs on your timetable and can carry 15 to 56 passengers per vehicle. BusBrother's Florida rate guide lists $100 to $175 per hour for a 15-passenger minibus and $150 to $300 per hour for a 56-passenger motorcoach. Request a free quote with your hotels and schedule.

How often should a hotel shuttle loop run?

Loop frequency comes from simple arithmetic. If the hotel is 15 minutes from the venue and loading takes about 5 minutes at each end, one round trip takes roughly 40 minutes, so one bus gives a departure about every 40 minutes and two buses about every 20. Most planners aim for a bus every 15 to 20 minutes at peak, when sessions start and end, and thin the schedule out midday to keep costs down.

Where do group hotel shuttles run most in Florida?

  • ✓International Drive hotels to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, for trade shows and conferences.
  • ✓Lake Buena Vista resorts, such as the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, to parks, dinners and offsite events.
  • ✓Downtown Tampa hotels to the Tampa Convention Center and waterfront venues.
  • ✓Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral hotels to Port Canaveral on cruise days.
  • ✓Wedding hotel blocks to ceremony and reception venues across the state.

When do you need a charter instead of the hotel's own shuttle?

Some hotels already run courtesy shuttles; Radisson Resort at the Port near Port Canaveral offers a free cruise shuttle, for example. A charter makes sense when the group is larger than the courtesy van, needs a fixed departure, has to visit several hotels, or travels at hours the hotel shuttle does not run. Before the event, ask each hotel where motorcoaches load, since rules differ by property and some entrances cannot take a full-size coach. Area hotel lists are in our hotel area guides, such as hotels on International Drive and hotels near Port Canaveral. Conference planners should also see corporate charter service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Timed loop routes between hotel blocks, convention centers and event venues are a standard hotel shuttle setup. The carrier builds a schedule and route that you can share with guests so they always know when the next bus arrives. Two vehicles running back-to-back keep waits short for larger groups, and loops can run only during peak arrival and departure windows to control cost.
Yes. The Orange County Convention Center and the International Drive hotel corridor in Orlando are among the busiest group shuttle areas in Central Florida, and carriers in the BusBrother network serve hotels and resorts throughout the I-Drive district. Conference shuttles typically run continuous loops between hotel blocks and the convention center around session start and end times.
Stops are easiest to add during planning, when the route and schedule are built around your hotels and venues. Once the route is set, changes can usually be made with about 24 hours notice, depending on the carrier and vehicle availability. Each added stop extends the loop by 15-30 minutes, so the carrier may suggest adding a vehicle to keep wait times short.
Hotel shuttles are usually priced by the hour or by the day for each vehicle, because the bus stays with your group and runs loops rather than making one trip. BusBrother's Florida rate guide lists $100 to $175 per hour for a 15-passenger minibus and $150 to $300 per hour for a 56-passenger motorcoach, with full-day rates of $800 to $1,200 and $1,200 to $2,500. Running loops only at peak times is the easiest way to lower the total.
Policies vary by property. Many hotels that host groups have a designated motorcoach loading area, but some front entrances have low canopies, tight turns or busy valet lanes that a full-size coach cannot use. Ask the hotel's group sales manager or bell desk where buses should load and share that spot with the carrier before the first run. If a coach will not fit, a minibus or a nearby side entrance usually solves it.
