Enter your pickup location, date, passenger count, and destination — and you'll land on a results page showing vehicles and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Key West and the Florida Keys. No account, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guessing.
Pricing depends on the bus type, your group size, the date, and how long you need the vehicle. A 15-passenger minibus for a short Old Town loop costs differently than a 56-passenger charter bus running the full length of US-1 from Miami to Key West for a corporate retreat. Key West is one of the most in-demand destinations in Florida, and peak dates — Fantasy Fest in late October, the Key West Songwriters Festival each May, New Year's Eve on Duval Street — fill fast.

From Minibus to Motorcoach, Compare Key West Charter Bus Options
Let Doralcharterbuscompany.com do the heavy lifting for you! Instead of hunting down individual bus companies, calling during business hours, and waiting for someone to call you back with a price, you fill out one quick form and see your options in seconds. That's the whole idea — one form, multiple buses, multiple prices, all on one screen.
Doralcharterbuscompany.com is not a local bus company and does not own any vehicles. Because of that, you are never limited to whatever one fleet happens to have available on your date.

You can compare pictures, packages, and pricing side by side without creating an account. And if you'd rather talk it through, a support team is available every day of the year at 954-507-6983 to build a custom package around your exact headcount, travel dates, and itinerary.

Bus Rentals Available For Any Event
Find and Book Key West Charter Bus Services for Any Event
Bringing a group to Key West for any reason? Doralcharterbuscompany.com has you covered! From airport pickups at Key West International Airport (EYW) to wedding shuttles, concert runs, corporate retreats, prom nights, school field trips, and long-distance rides up US-1 — you can find and book group transportation for every occasion right here. Compare your options and choose the service that fits your plans!
Key West Airport Shuttle Services Your Group Can Trust
Get your group from Key West International Airport (EYW) (3491 S Roosevelt Blvd, Key West, FL 33040) to your hotel, resort, or event venue without the chaos of hunting down taxis or splitting everyone into rideshares. The ground transportation curb sits directly outside baggage claim, with charter buses and larger vehicles using the outer roadway lane — and because there is no dedicated staging lot on airport property, the pickup works best when your whole group is together, luggage in hand, before you call for the bus.
Doralcharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare airport shuttle buses sized to your group — from a sprinter van for a small party to a full-size 56-passenger charter bus for a large corporate delegation. Whether you're flying in on American, Delta, or United or connecting through Miami International (MIA) and riding the rest of the way by bus, you'll find the right airport transfer option right here. Call 954-507-6983 or use the online tool to compare Key West airport transportation in seconds!
Rent a Charter Bus for Key West Concerts & Events
Doralcharterbuscompany.com makes finding concert and event transportation in Key West fast and easy! Key West's live music scene runs year-round, from the stages of the Key West Songwriters Festival each May at venues across Old Town to packed nights at Sloppy Joe's Bar (201 Duval St, Key West, FL 33040) and outdoor events at Truman Waterfront Amphitheater (1000 Southard St, Key West, FL 33040). Parking in Key West is notoriously scarce, and Duval Street closes to through traffic during major events — so a party bus or minibus that drops your group at the venue and picks everyone up when the show ends is the smartest way to move a crowd.
Compare party buses with built-in bars, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound systems, or minibuses that keep things simple and comfortable. One form gives you pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Key West — no account needed. Call 954-507-6983 to get started!

Doralcharterbuscompany.com is the go-to resource for corporate transportation in Key West! Whether you're running a leadership retreat at a resort on the island, shuttling conference attendees between Old Town hotels and a waterfront event venue, or coordinating group arrivals at EYW for a multi-day company trip, one quick form gives you access to a network of buses and minibuses sized to your group.
Corporate groups love the full-size charter bus for its reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays — everything your team needs to arrive ready to work. Need a smaller vehicle for executive transfers? Sprinter vans and 15-passenger minibuses are available through the network too.
Because Doralcharterbuscompany.com is not a local bus company, you're comparing options from multiple independent operators — which means more availability, more vehicle types, and more price points for your company's budget. Call 954-507-6983 any time for a custom corporate transportation quote!
Keep Your Key West Employees On Schedule
Just because Key West is a small island doesn't mean getting your team around is simple! Parking in Old Town is expensive and scarce, and employees commuting from Stock Island, Cudjoe Key, or further up the Keys on US-1 deal with significant traffic delays during peak season. An employee shuttle bus takes the commute stress off your team's plate and gives everyone a reliable, comfortable ride to work and back.
Doralcharterbuscompany.com helps you compare minibuses and charter buses for recurring employee shuttle routes, temporary parking solutions during busy events, and multi-stop loops across the island. Whether you need a daily route or a shuttle for a specific busy period, compare your options from a network of transportation companies serving Key West right here.

For quick and easy government and military group transportation in Key West, Doralcharterbuscompany.com is the place to start! Naval Air Station Key West (NASKW) at Boca Chica Field (MM 7, Key West, FL 33040) is one of the premier tactical air warfare training facilities in the country, and personnel movements, base transfers, training events, and official functions all require reliable, coordinated group ground transportation. Doralcharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare charter buses and minibuses for government and military groups of any size — from a 15-passenger minibus for a small team transfer to a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach for a large-scale personnel movement.

Keep Your Group Together with Key West Long-Distance Charter Bus Rentals
If your group is traveling the full length of the Overseas Highway, Doralcharterbuscompany.com makes finding the right long-distance charter bus easy! US-1 is the only road connecting Key West to the mainland — 113 miles of two-lane highway crossing 42 bridges, including the famous Seven Mile Bridge. Miami is approximately 160 miles and 3.5 to 4 hours away under normal conditions, and that drive can stretch significantly longer during Fantasy Fest, spring break, or holiday weekends.
A full-size 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, and an onboard restroom turns that long ride into a comfortable, productive trip for your group. Compare long-distance buses from a network of transportation companies serving Key West, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, and destinations across Florida — all in one place, with pricing in seconds.

With Doralcharterbuscompany.com, you can find private event transportation in Key West for any occasion! Family reunions, birthday celebrations, anniversary dinners, sunset cruise groups, milestone trips — whatever brings your group to the Keys, a private charter bus or party bus keeps everyone together and on your schedule instead of splitting the group between rideshares and rental cars.
Key West's Old Town is walkable, but getting a large group from a hotel on South Roosevelt Boulevard to Mallory Square for the Sunset Celebration — and then to dinner on Duval Street — is a coordination challenge without a bus. Compare minibuses, party buses, and charter buses from a network of transportation companies serving Key West right here. You set the stops, you set the timing, and your group rides together from start to finish.

Ride in Comfort with Key West School Field Trip Bus Rentals

Take your class to the Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center (35 E Quay Rd, Key West, FL 33040), open Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with free admission, for an immersive look at Keys ecosystems.
Head to Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park (601 Howard England Way, Key West, FL 33040) for a history lesson at the Civil War-era fort — the park has a large lot that accommodates buses, and rangers confirm bus-friendly parking with advance notice.
Doralcharterbuscompany.com lets you compare school buses, minibuses, and charter buses from a network of transportation companies serving Key West — match the vehicle to your student and chaperone headcount and keep every field trip on schedule. Call 954-507-6983 to find your next field trip bus!
Efficient and Timely Transportation for Key West Sporting Events
You don't have to split your team or your fan group across a caravan of cars to get to a sporting event in Key West! From fishing tournament send-offs at the Historic Seaport to local athletic events at Key West High School, a charter bus or minibus keeps your whole group together, on time, and ready to compete or cheer. Key West is also a popular launching point for fans heading to Miami for Dolphins games at Hard Rock Stadium, Heat games at Kaseya Center, or Marlins games at loanDepot park — and a long-distance charter bus on US-1 makes that 160-mile run a whole lot more comfortable than a caravan of rental cars.

Get Your Guests to Every Wedding Event with a Key West Charter Bus
Why leave your wedding guests to figure out parking in Old Town on their own? Key West is one of the most popular wedding destinations in Florida, and the island's narrow streets, limited parking, and active enforcement make a wedding shuttle bus one of the best decisions you can make for your big day. Shuttle guests from the Casa Marina Key West (1500 Reynolds St, Key West, FL 33040) to a sunset ceremony at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, then on to a waterfront reception — all on one bus, on your schedule, with no one circling Whitehead Street looking for a space.

From sprinter vans for the bridal party to full-size charter buses for larger guest lists, Doralcharterbuscompany.com helps you find the right wedding transportation in Key West fast.

Add a stop at First Flight Island Restaurant & Brewery (301 Whitehead St, Key West, FL 33040), operating inside the original 1927 Pan American Airways building, for a pint with serious history.

Yes. US-1, the Overseas Highway, is the only road connecting Key West to the Florida mainland. It runs 113 miles from Florida City to Key West, crossing 42 bridges including the Seven Mile Bridge.
There is no alternative route. During peak events like Fantasy Fest (late October) or spring break, US-1 can back up significantly near Marathon (Mile Marker 47) and Big Pine Key (Mile Marker 30). Build extra time into your itinerary on high-demand dates — a drive that takes 3.5 hours on a quiet Tuesday can take 5 or more hours during Fantasy Fest weekend.
Old Town Key West has very limited bus parking, and most of the popular destinations — Mallory Square, Duval Street, the Hemingway Home, the Southernmost Point Buoy — require a drop-off and relocate approach. Buses typically drop passengers at the nearest accessible curb (Wall Street or Front Street for Mallory Square; Whitehead Street for the Hemingway Home; South Street for the Southernmost Point), then stage at Truman Waterfront Park, which is one of the few locations in Key West with confirmed space for charter buses and oversized vehicles. Arrange a timed pickup point with your group before they disperse — cell service in Old Town is reliable, so a group text works well for coordinating the return.
Fantasy Fest, held each year in late October, is the single busiest event in Key West, drawing large crowds from across the country over about ten days. Duval Street closes to vehicle traffic for the Parade and major events. US-1 backs up for miles in both directions on the busiest nights.
Bus availability across South Florida drops sharply during this window, and prices reflect the demand. If your trip falls during Fantasy Fest, book six to twelve months in advance — waiting until the last minute means significantly higher prices or no availability at all.
Not directly — Dry Tortugas National Park is located 70 miles west of Key West and is accessible only by ferry or seaplane. However, a charter bus can transport your group from your hotel or starting point to the Historic Seaport at Key West Bight (240 Margaret St, Key West, FL 33040), where the Yankee Freedom III ferry departs daily for the Dry Tortugas. The ferry crossing takes approximately 2.5 hours each way.
Book the ferry separately through Yankee Freedom III and use Doralcharterbuscompany.com to handle the ground transportation to and from the dock.
For the long drive down US-1 — 160 miles from Miami, 113 miles from Florida City — a full-size 56-passenger charter bus is the most comfortable option. Full-size motorcoaches come with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, individual power outlets, overhead storage, and onboard restrooms, which matter significantly on a 3.5- to 4-hour drive with no real rest stop options on the two-lane highway. For smaller groups of 15 to 35 passengers, a minibus with similar amenities works well and is easier to maneuver on the Keys' narrower roads.
Compare both options side by side using the online quote tool or call 954-507-6983 for a recommendation based on your group size and itinerary.
Confirmed bus-friendly parking in Key West is limited. Truman Waterfront Park is the most consistently cited staging area for charter buses visiting Old Town. Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park (601 Howard England Way) has a large parking lot that can accommodate buses — contact the park directly in advance for groups over 20.
Most other popular destinations in Key West require a drop-off and relocate approach, with the bus staging off-site while the group explores. Parking enforcement on the island is active, and residential streets are not suitable for charter bus staging.
For most Key West trips, book three to six months in advance to get the best vehicle selection and pricing. For Fantasy Fest (late October), the Key West Songwriters Festival (each May), New Year's Eve, and spring break weekends in March and April, book six to twelve months out — these are the dates when bus availability across South Florida tightens fastest and prices rise the most. Prom season for Monroe County schools in late April and May also books out early.
The earlier you compare through Doralcharterbuscompany.com, the more options you'll have and the better the price you'll lock in. Call 954-507-6983 right now to hold your date!
Any Destination, Any Time!
Get Your Group to These Key West Destinations by Bus
Get a charter bus to any of Key West's most beloved landmarks and let your group arrive together, on time, and ready to explore! From the iconic Southernmost Point Buoy to the historic fort at the island's western tip, Key West packs an extraordinary number of world-class destinations into just four square miles — and a bus makes it easy to hit them all on your schedule.
Use the previous and next buttons, the left and right arrow keys, or swipe to browse six destinations.
Mallory Square
Mallory Square (400 Wall St, Key West, FL 33040) is the heart of Key West's famous Sunset Celebration, drawing performers, artists, and hundreds of spectators every evening to watch the sun drop into the Gulf of Mexico. The square sits at the northwest tip of the island adjacent to the cruise ship pier. On days when multiple cruise ships are in port, the surrounding streets are extremely congested.
Buses drop passengers on Wall Street or Front Street and must relocate — Truman Waterfront Park (1000 Southard St) is the most practical staging area, approximately half a mile away. Arrange a timed pickup on Greene Street or Front Street when the group is ready to move on.
Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park
Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park is home to Key West's best public beach and one of the best-preserved Civil War-era forts in the United States. The park is open daily from 8 a.m. to sundown, and vehicle entry is $6 per vehicle plus $0.50 per additional person. Crucially for groups, the park has a large parking lot confirmed to accommodate charter buses and oversized vehicles — one of the very few such locations in Key West.
Contact the park directly in advance for groups over 20. Drop-off is at the entrance gate on Howard England Way. Rangers are helpful and accommodating for school field trips and tour groups.
Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum
Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum (907 Whitehead St, Key West, FL 33040) is one of the most visited literary landmarks in the United States, where Hemingway lived and wrote from 1931 to 1939. The property is home to dozens of six-toed cats — descendants of Hemingway's own polydactyl cat — and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is $19 for adults and $7 for children ages 6–12 (children 5 and under are free).
The museum sits on a residential block of Whitehead Street with no dedicated bus parking. Buses drop at the front gate on Whitehead Street and stage at Truman Waterfront Park (1000 Southard St) or near Fort Zachary Taylor while the group tours inside. Contact info@hemingwayhome.com for group visit arrangements.
Southernmost Point Buoy
The Southernmost Point Buoy (corner of South St & Whitehead St, Key West, FL 33040) is the most photographed landmark in Key West — a massive concrete buoy marking the southernmost point in the continental United States, just 90 miles from Cuba. Lines for photos can stretch 30 to 45 minutes on busy days. The intersection of South Street and Whitehead Street is extremely narrow, and there is no bus parking anywhere near the marker.
Buses drop the group at the corner (white curb, five-minute maximum) and immediately relocate. The best pickup plan: arrange to meet on Truman Avenue one block north, 20 to 30 minutes after drop-off, giving the group time to reach the front of the photo line and walk back.
Truman Waterfront Park & Amphitheater
Truman Waterfront Park is a 34-acre public park on the former Truman Annex naval property, featuring an open lawn, playground, and the Truman Waterfront Amphitheater, which hosts concerts and events including the Key West Songwriters Festival each May and outdoor performances year-round. The park's large surface parking lot is one of the only confirmed charter bus–friendly parking locations in Key West, making it the go-to staging area for buses visiting Old Town. Drop-off is on Southard Street at the park entrance.
The adjacent Harry S Truman Little White House (111 Front St) is a short walk away and offers guided tours with advance group reservations required for parties of 10 or more.
Key West Aquarium
Key West Aquarium (1 Whitehead St, Key West, FL 33040, (305) 910-2791) is one of the oldest aquariums in the United States, opened in 1934, and sits at the north end of Whitehead Street adjacent to Mallory Square. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last entrance 5:30 p.m.), with general admission starting around $16 — group rates are available, so call ahead. The aquarium features touch tanks, shark feedings, and guided tours that are ideal for school field trips and family groups.
Drop-off is on Whitehead Street or Front Street; buses stage at Truman Waterfront Park (1000 Southard St) or the Westin Key West parking structure (245 Front St) while the group is inside. A great anchor stop to pair with a Mallory Square Sunset Celebration visit!
