From hotel pickups and conference dinners to company celebrations, The Great Raleigh Trolley brings a little Raleigh character to your event transportation.
Connect nearby destinations with a shuttle plan built around your group, your schedule and the occasion.
Hotels, meetings & dinner plans
Connect nearby hotels, meeting venues and restaurants so guests can travel together throughout your event.
Company outings & celebrations
Make the ride part of the occasion. Bring your team to dinner, an off-site gathering or a holiday celebration aboard a classic Raleigh trolley.
Parking & event shuttle loops
Connect designated parking areas with your venue using a repeating shuttle route. We’ll help work through pickup locations, timing and the number of trips your group may need.
Recurring local transportation
Have a transportation need that comes around regularly? Tell us about your locations, days and service windows, and we’ll explore a recurring arrangement based on route fit and availability.
Wooden benches, arched windows and a distinctive arrival turn an ordinary transfer into part of the experience.
Our trolleys are best suited to local trips and repeating shuttle loops. For a comfortable ride, we recommend keeping each individual travel leg to approximately 45 minutes or less.
Each trolley comfortably seats 26–30 guests, depending on the vehicle. For short trips, capacity can reach 35 with standing room.
Moving a larger group? We’ll help assess whether multiple trips or additional trolleys make sense for your schedule, subject to availability.
