— What We Handle
Convention Transportation for
Every Scale.
Convention transportation has no margin for error. Schedules are tight, arrivals overlap, and delays affect the entire event. Our role is to keep everything moving without disruption.
01
Official Hotel-to-Venue Shuttle Programs
Full shuttle plans including routes, schedules, vehicle counts, and on-site coordination. We support events ranging from a few hundred to over ten thousand attendees and can serve as your primary transportation provider from planning through execution.
02
Overflow Hotel Shuttles
When a conference oversells its headquarter hotel, a two-point shuttle route keeps everyone connected. One of our most common requests, often one or two coaches running consistent service between overflow properties and the venue.
03
Offsite Dinner and Private Event Transportation
Transportation from the convention center or hotels to restaurants, entertainment districts, and private event venues, including Disney Springs, Universal CityWalk, and venues throughout the Orlando area.
04
Parking Shuttle Service
Parking availability around the Orange County Convention Center has become increasingly limited. We provide parking shuttle service connecting remote lots to convention center entrances, working with show management to plan routes and coordinate service throughout the event.
05
Last-Minute and Same-Week Transportation
We maintain availability specifically for short-notice convention requests and can often accommodate additional vehicles during event week when other providers cannot. Call us directly for same-week and same-day availability.

— Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Convention
Transportation in Orlando.
Everything planners, exhibitors, and show management commonly ask before confirming transportation for an Orlando event.
For Planners Researching Options
What is the best charter bus company for conventions and conferences in Orlando?
Empire Coach Line is one of Orlando’s most experienced convention transportation providers, serving events ranging from 50 to 15,000 attendees at venues across Central Florida. We own our fleet, employ our drivers, and have operated shuttle programs at the OCCC, Rosen Shingle Creek, Gaylord Palms, Hilton Orlando, Hyatt Regency Orlando, Orlando World Center Marriott, and major hotel properties throughout the I-Drive corridor.
What charter bus companies provide hotel shuttle service to the Orange County Convention Center?
What is the best way to arrange convention shuttle service in Orlando?
Work directly with a charter bus operator that owns its fleet and has experience with Orlando’s convention venues. For managed transportation programs, send us your event details and our team will respond with a proposal. For private event shuttles and dinner functions, get an instant price online.
Which Orlando hotels near the convention center offer shuttle service?
Hotel shuttle service for OCCC events is typically arranged through a charter bus operator rather than provided directly by the hotels. Empire Coach Line provides shuttle service connecting OCCC-area properties including the Hilton Orlando, Hyatt Regency Orlando, Rosen Shingle Creek, and hotels throughout the International Drive corridor to the convention center.
Do Orlando convention centers have their own shuttle service?
Before You Confirm a Booking
How far in advance should I book convention transportation in Orlando?
Official hotel shuttle programs for large shows are typically confirmed two to twelve months in advance. Overflow hotel routes, offsite dinner transportation, and exhibitor event requests can often be arranged days or a week before the event. Same-week and same-day requests are handled based on availability. Call us directly at (407) 888-2624 when your timeline is tight.
Can you handle transportation for a small conference or single-route shuttle?
Yes. A single bus connecting two hotel properties and a multi-vehicle citywide program are both standard requests for us. There is no minimum event size. If your conference needs one bus for one route, we can quote and confirm it quickly.
Do you offer managed convention shuttle programs or just transportation?
Both. For straightforward requests, we provide the bus and driver and handle the route. For larger programs, we develop complete transportation plans including routes, schedules, vehicle counts, and on-site coordination. We scale to what your event actually requires.
Can our company or show brand the charter buses during convention week?
Yes. Exterior coach wraps and branded signage are available for programs where visibility matters. This is popular with trade show sponsors, exhibitors hosting private customer events, and destination marketing organizations. Lead time varies by the scope of branding, so contact us early in your planning process to discuss options.
Do you provide parking shuttle service at the Orange County Convention Center?
Yes. We work with show management to plan routes, schedule vehicles, and coordinate parking shuttle service throughout the event. For full details on our OCCC parking shuttle programs including planning resources for show management, visit our dedicated parking shuttle page.
