Rent a Bus to Bergeron Rodeo Grounds: The Complete Transportation Guide

If you are organizing a group trip to Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, the question that decides whether your night flows or frays is simple: where exactly does the bus drop your group, and where does it wait while you're inside? It is the one detail most rental sites skip over, and the one that keeps a 30-person crew together instead of scattered across Davie Road hunting for parking.

This guide answers it plainly, using the venue's own published details, and then walks you through everything else a group night at the rodeo needs: which vehicle fits your party, what shapes the price, and exactly how a Davie charter bus or party bus rental turns what is ordinarily a coordination headache into the best part of the evening. Bergeron is one of our most-requested destinations, and the advice below comes from running these pickups regularly — not from a brochure.

What Is Bergeron Rodeo Grounds — and Why Does Your Group Need a Bus?

Bergeron Rodeo Grounds sits at 4271 Davie Rd, Davie, FL 33314 — right on the corner of Davie Road and Orange Drive in the Town of Davie's historic western-themed district. The facility traces its roots to the 1920s when local residents built a simple pit arena, and has grown into a 72,000 square foot indoor/outdoor venue that the PRCA recognizes as the oldest active rodeo circuit in Florida. A roof went on in 1984, the Bergeron name followed in the 1990s after a major community donation, and today it hosts everything from PRCA bull riding and barrel racing to monster truck shows, horse exhibitions, airboat displays, dog shows, car shows, and major concerts.

With bleacher capacity topping 5,000 and on-site parking priced at $5 cash per vehicle, the math on a big group night is obvious: the $5 lot fills up early on sold-out rodeo nights, Davie Road backs up in both directions once gates open, and everyone who drove now needs a sober way home after a night of boots, beer, and bull riding. A Davie party bus rental removes all three problems at once. You park one bus — or none at all if the bus simply drops your group and returns later — and the whole crew arrives on Davie Road together, pregame energy already running, no one drawing straws for the designated driver role.

Charter Bus Drop-Off and Pickup at Bergeron Rodeo Grounds

Here is the part most group guides leave vague. Bergeron Rodeo Grounds is an open-surface venue on Davie Road, not a stadium with a dedicated commercial vehicle lane. The practical arrangement for charter buses and party buses is curbside drop-off on Davie Road directly in front of the main entrance, where the white horse statue marks the driveway.

Your group steps off directly at the entrance without walking through a parking field, and the bus either parks in the on-site lot or moves to a nearby spot to wait.

On high-attendance nights — the Orange Blossom Rodeo, the Weekley Brothers Pro Rodeo, monster truck shows — Davie Road gets congested in both directions starting roughly 45 minutes before gates open. The most effective approach: your bus drops the group curbside, then the bus moves before the entrance lane backs up. Arrange your pickup window with our team before the event so the bus is back at that same curb the moment the crowd starts moving toward the exits, not five minutes into a surge-priced rideshare wait.

If your group wants the bus to stay on-site all night, the on-site surface lot handles standard-sized vehicles at $5 cash. Oversized vehicles coordinate with venue staff on event day regarding positioning; our team confirms the current arrangement for your specific event when you book, because the setup shifts by event type and crowd size. We always recommend reviewing the official Bergeron Rodeo Grounds page and contacting the venue at 954-797-1181 ahead of your visit to confirm current event-night vehicle policies.

Getting There: Routes, Traffic, and Timing

Bergeron Rodeo Grounds sits at what the Town of Davie calls "the hub of transportation corridors" — convenient from I-75, I-95, the Florida Turnpike, and State Road 7. The standard approach from most of Broward County is I-595 West to Davie Road South; the venue is approximately 2.5 miles south on the right, announced by a white horse statue and an entrance sign on the east side of Davie Road. From the Turnpike, the Griffin Road exit feeds naturally toward Davie Road.

Drive times from common pickup areas in normal traffic:

Those times shift on event nights, especially on the I-595 eastbound exit ramp stack and the Davie Road corridor between Orange Drive and Griffin Road. Add 15–25 minutes on popular rodeo nights and plan accordingly — gates open at 6 PM and the rodeo starts at 7:30 PM, which means arriving before 6:30 is worth building into your itinerary. For the Orange Blossom Festival weekend in late February and early March, the entire Davie corridor around Pine Island Road and Bamford Sports Complex sees event traffic layered on top of normal Friday and Saturday congestion.

A bus from Party Bus Davie handles every mile of that; your group is toasting the evening before the bull riders even come out of the chutes.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Group?

The right call depends on your headcount, how far you are coming from, and whether you want the ride to be part of the experience. Here is how the fleet breaks down for a Bergeron night.

For groups where the ride itself is part of the rodeo night, a 15- to 50-passenger party bus from our Davie fleet is the natural fit. The built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound system mean the country playlist is already going before the bus turns onto Davie Road — and nobody is quietly doing designated-driver math in the back. For bigger groups coming from different neighborhoods across Broward or Miami-Dade, a full-size charter bus handles multi-stop pickups and comfortably seats the whole crowd in one vehicle, with undercarriage bays for anything you want to bring along.

ADA-accessible vehicles are available — just let us know before your event date and we will have the right vehicle ready.

What Does a Bus to Bergeron Rodeo Grounds Cost?

Party Bus Davie provides all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact number before you ever book. Charter and party bus pricing for a rodeo night in Davie is shaped by a handful of clear variables:

• Vehicle size — a 14-passenger Sprinter limo and a 56-passenger charter bus are meaningfully different rates.
• Total hours — how long the vehicle is reserved, including pickup, the event itself, and post-rodeo dropoffs.
• Origin and mileage — a Cooper City pickup is a shorter run than one starting in Boca Raton or Miami.
• Date and demand — the Orange Blossom Rodeo weekend in late February prices differently than a regular Wednesday jackpot night.

For real ranges: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour. Pricing depends on mileage, time of year, and vehicle type, and you will never be surprised by costs that were not in your quote. Call 305-443-8831 any time for a free, all-inclusive number — or use the online tool for instant availability.

The per-person math usually makes this easy to justify. Split a 25-passenger party bus across 20 riders for a rodeo night: each person's share of the bus often runs less than a round of rideshares each way, and nobody in the group is stuck watching their drink while everyone else is celebrating. That is the number that makes a Davie party bus rental an obvious call once you run it.

A Real Rodeo Night Example

Last February, a 24-person bachelorette party booked a 25-passenger party bus for the Weekley Brothers Davie Pro Rodeo. Pickup was at 5:45 PM from a hotel in Fort Lauderdale, at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds curbside by 6:20 PM well before the 7:30 PM start. The built-in bar and sound system kept the energy up on the 20-minute ride; the group stepped off to the gate in boots and hats together.

After the final event, the bus was back on Davie Road by 9:45 PM for a smooth pickup, then continued to a bar stop in downtown Fort Lauderdale before last drop-offs. Five-hour all-inclusive rental: $1,850 — about $77 per person, with the pregame ride, the post-rodeo transport, and the designated driver all covered in one number.

The Events at Bergeron Rodeo Grounds — and When to Book Early

Understanding the Bergeron calendar is the difference between booking the right vehicle at a reasonable rate and scrambling for whatever is left two weeks before the biggest night of the year. Here are the events where group demand runs highest and vehicle supply goes fastest.

Weekley Brothers Davie Pro Rodeo

The anchor of the Bergeron calendar, the Weekley Brothers Davie Pro Rodeo is a PRCA-sanctioned event that draws serious rodeo crowds for bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing, calf roping, and team roping. Gates open at 6 PM, the rodeo starts at 7:30 PM, and adult tickets run $20 at the gate / $10 for children ages 3–12. The next major scheduled date is September 12, 2026 at Bergeron.

Confirm all upcoming dates and ticket availability directly at the official Davie Pro Rodeo site. For Saturday evening rodeo nights, book your bus at least four to six weeks out — popular event weekends pull from the same Broward fleet.

Orange Blossom Festival, Parade & Rodeo

This is the event that defines Davie's calendar. The 89th Annual Orange Blossom Festival, Parade and Rodeo ran February 27 through March 1, 2026, and the tradition goes back nearly a century. The rodeo portion — held at Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, 4271 Davie Rd — ran on Saturday, February 28 at 7:30 PM and Sunday, March 1 at 2 PM.

The parade begins at 10 AM on the Saturday and runs through the town center. Festival activity spreads across Bamford Sports Complex at 3801 S. Pine Island Road, with free parking and shuttle buses between Town Hall and the complex every 30 minutes starting at 9 AM.

For your group: Orange Blossom weekend is the single busiest transportation period in Davie all year. Davie Road, Pine Island Road, and every parallel route through the western Broward grid sees compressed traffic from multiple simultaneous events. The town advises attendees to use the shuttle from Davie Town Hall (6591 Davie Rd) rather than driving directly.

A charter bus in Davie that is already carrying your group bypasses all of that — one coordinated drop at the rodeo entrance, done. Book by January for Orange Blossom weekend or expect reduced availability across all vehicle sizes.

Jackpot Rodeos — Every Wednesday

The weekly heartbeat of Bergeron Rodeo Grounds is the jackpot rodeo every Wednesday night, starting at approximately 7 PM. These are shorter, lower-attendance events that draw local riders competing for prize money — a great option for groups who want the full rodeo experience on a weeknight without the crowd logistics of a major PRCA event. Mid-week availability in the fleet is generally much better, and rates reflect it.

Two to three weeks of lead time is workable for a Wednesday night rodeo group.

Monster Truck Shows

The All-Star Monster Truck Tour has made Bergeron a recurring stop, with trucks like Toxic, Illuminator, Frostbite, Lil Miss Dangerous, High Tide, and The Haymaker competing in racing, best trick competitions, and freestyle rounds. These events draw families and enthusiasts from across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach, and the parking lot fills completely early. The arena holds 5,000 and those seats fill.

A party bus or minibus for a monster truck night means the group arrives together before the congestion sets in and exits cleanly while other attendees are still running to their cars. Watch the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds event calendar for upcoming dates, and book four to six weeks out for any major show.

Sunshine Stampede and Specialty Rodeos

Bergeron also hosts the Sunshine Stampede organized by the Florida Gay Rodeo Association, along with horse shows, dog shows, airboat exhibitions, car shows, concerts, and corporate conventions throughout the year. At 72,000 square feet, the venue handles a wide range of event types — which means Davie bus rental demand spreads across the calendar rather than concentrating in one season. If you are planning a trip for any specialty event, check the official Bergeron calendar and book as soon as your date is confirmed.

Bus vs. Rideshare vs. Driving to Bergeron: The Honest Comparison

There are three real ways to get a group to Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, and each one fits a different scenario. Here is the honest breakdown.

For one or two people attending a Wednesday jackpot rodeo, driving makes total sense — the lot is manageable and the crowd is light. For a group of 10 or more on a PRCA rodeo night or Orange Blossom weekend, that math flips quickly. The $5 cash lot fills before gates close, Davie Road runs stop-and-go in both directions, and every rideshare in the 33314 ZIP code has a surge multiplier the moment the crowd moves.

One bus from Party Bus Davie handles your entire crew for a flat, predictable rate, gets everyone curbside at the entrance, and is back there waiting when the final event wraps. That is the plan that actually works at capacity.

Trip Types Groups Run to Bergeron Rodeo Grounds

Different groups, same destination — and the bus makes each one better in a specific way.

• Bachelorette and bachelor parties: A rodeo makes for an unforgettable night, and a party bus with a built-in bar and LED lighting makes the ride there part of the celebration. The group shows up in their boots and hats already energized, and nobody has to be the sober one navigating Davie Road at 10 PM.
• Birthday groups: A 30th or 40th birthday at the rodeo is a genuinely great idea in South Florida — boots optional, fun mandatory. A minibus or party bus lets the guest of honor and their crew travel together from pickup to drop-off without fragmenting into separate rideshare groups.
• Corporate groups and team outings: Bergeron hosts corporate events and trade expos, and the rodeo itself makes an excellent client entertainment night. A charter bus for 30 to 56 colleagues or clients arrives together, makes a unified impression at the gate, and skips the parking chaos entirely.
• Family reunions and large family groups: Multi-generational groups heading to the Orange Blossom Rodeo or a monster truck show benefit from a full-size charter bus with reclining seats, climate control, and an onboard restroom for the longer drives from Miami-Dade or Palm Beach County.
• Friend groups for concert and specialty events: When Bergeron brings in a headliner or a specialty show like the Sunshine Stampede, a party bus keeps the whole friend group on the same itinerary — same arrival, same experience, same pickup window at the end of the night.

What the Bus Comes With

Not every group trip needs the same vehicle, and the amenities that matter for a rodeo night are different from what you need for an airport transfer. Here is how the Davie bus rental options break down on features.

Party buses (15–50 passengers) come with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating, and an open center area. Load the country playlist before pickup and the pregame is running before you clear the city limits. This is the right choice when the ride is as much the event as the rodeo itself.

Minibuses (15–35 passengers) offer powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage, and a comfortable coach interior. They load and unload quickly, maneuver easily on Davie Road, and handle multi-stop pickup routes across Broward without difficulty. Ideal for corporate groups or family outings where comfort on the drive is the priority.

Full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) add onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, deep undercarriage luggage bays, and reclining seats with individual overhead storage. For groups driving in from Miami or Boca Raton, the onboard restroom earns its keep on the return trip after a long rodeo night, and the undercarriage bays accommodate anything the group brings along. These are the workhorses for the largest groups and the longest routes.

14-passenger Sprinter limos suit small VIP groups or executive clients attending a corporate event at Bergeron. Premium leather, USB charging at every seat, and tinted privacy windows — it arrives at the curb looking sharp and gets everyone out in style.

Booking, Timing, and Pickup

Booking a Davie party bus rental for Bergeron Rodeo Grounds is straightforward, and a few details make it seamless:

1. Request a quote with your group size, pickup location or locations, the event date, and an estimate of how long you need the vehicle.
2. Confirm the vehicle and drop point. Our team picks the right vehicle and checks the current Bergeron drop-off setup for your event type, since access can vary between the weekly jackpot rodeos and major PRCA nights.
3. Set your pickup window. Decide in advance when you want the bus back at Davie Road so it is waiting and ready the moment your group moves toward the exits — not 20 minutes into a rideshare wait while everyone stands on the shoulder of Davie Road.

A few timing questions we hear often: how early should the bus pick us up? For a 7:30 PM rodeo start, plan your bus pickup so the group arrives at Bergeron between 6 PM and 6:30 PM — enough time to get settled before the action starts without watching the parking lot chaos from the gate. What if the event runs long?

The bus is reserved as a block of hours, so it can adjust its staging window. Tell us your estimated end time when you book and we will build the buffer in.

Tips for Visiting Bergeron Rodeo Grounds

A few practical details that first-timers do not find until they are standing in the parking lot:

• The $5 parking is cash only. The on-site surface lot charges $5 per vehicle in cash, and the lot fills well before a sold-out rodeo ends. Groups who drive separately often end up in overflow or walking in from across Davie Road. One bus drops the whole group at the entrance, full stop.
• Arrive before 6:30 PM on PRCA nights. Gates open at 6 PM and the rodeo begins at 7:30 PM. The lot and the entrance area are noticeably more chaotic in the 30 minutes before start time than they are at 6:05 PM. Early arrival means good seats.
• Adult tickets run $20 at the gate, $10 for children ages 3–12. Buy at the gate or in advance through the official Davie Pro Rodeo site. For major events, advance purchase is wise — the Orange Blossom Rodeo especially sells out.
• Orange Blossom weekend spreads across multiple locations. The parade and festival are at Bamford Sports Complex on Pine Island Road; the rodeo is at Bergeron Rodeo Grounds on Davie Road. If your group wants to hit both in one day, a bus handles the transfer between venues without your group losing anyone or waiting for multiple rideshares.
• The venue is fully covered. Even though it is technically an outdoor/indoor facility, the arena roof means rain does not cancel events. But South Florida evening humidity is real; dress accordingly for a covered but open-air rodeo setting.
• Contact the venue directly for large group reservations. Bergeron's Special Events coordinator at 954-797-1181 handles group bookings and can answer event-specific questions about access and parking for oversized vehicles. We recommend calling if your bus group is 40 people or more attending a major event, so the venue is aware in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at Bergeron Rodeo Grounds?

Curbside on Davie Road at the main entrance, identifiable by the white horse statue and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds sign. This puts your group steps from the gate rather than walking across the parking surface. For major events, the bus drops the group and repositions to avoid the congestion on Davie Road, then returns for pickup at the window you set in advance.

Is there designated bus parking at Bergeron Rodeo Grounds?

The on-site surface lot charges $5 per vehicle cash. Oversized vehicle positioning on major event nights is coordinated with venue staff on the day; because the arrangement can vary by event, we confirm the current setup for your specific date when you book. We recommend calling 954-797-1181 before a large event to let the venue know an oversized vehicle is coming.

How much does a bus rental to Bergeron Rodeo Grounds cost?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours, origin point, and event date. As a guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour.

What events happen at Bergeron Rodeo Grounds throughout the year?

The Weekley Brothers Davie Pro Rodeo (next scheduled: September 12, 2026), the Orange Blossom Festival Rodeo in late February/early March, weekly Wednesday jackpot rodeos, the All-Star Monster Truck Tour, the Sunshine Stampede gay rodeo, horse and dog shows, airboat exhibitions, car shows, concerts, and corporate events. Check the official Bergeron calendar for current dates.

How far in advance should I book a bus for the Orange Blossom Rodeo?

By January at the latest. The Orange Blossom Rodeo — part of the four-day Orange Blossom Festival, Parade and Rodeo each late February/early March — is the busiest transportation period in Davie all year. Multiple simultaneous events draw groups from across Broward, and the right-size vehicles go first.

Booking in December or January for a late February event gives you the best vehicle selection and rate.

Can the bus do multiple pickups across Broward before heading to Bergeron?

Yes. A minibus or charter bus handles multi-stop pickup routes easily — one vehicle sweeps Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, or wherever your group is spread across, then makes one clean drop at Bergeron. Tell us all the pickup locations when you book and we will route it efficiently.

What if part of my group wants to continue to another location after the rodeo?

That is exactly what a block-of-hours booking handles. The bus is reserved for the duration of your evening, so if the plan is rodeo plus a stop on Las Olas or in downtown Fort Lauderdale on the way back, we build that into the itinerary when you book. Just tell us the full plan upfront.

Do you have ADA-accessible vehicles?

Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are always available. Let us know your needs before your event date and we will arrange the right vehicle.
