The Ultimate Game Day Logistics: Why a Charter Bus is Your MVP
Traversing the sprawling Phoenix-Scottsdale metropolitan area on game day is no small feat. With major venues spread from Glendale to Mesa, and traffic bottlenecks common on I-10 and the Pima Freeway, coordinating a group of fans in multiple cars is a recipe for missed kickoffs and frustrated friends. Parking fees at professional venues often range from $30 to $100 per vehicle, and finding adjacent spots for a large group is nearly impossible. This is where a private charter bus rental becomes your game day MVP. By keeping everyone together in one climate-controlled cabin, you eliminate the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads and ensure that the party starts the moment you board. Our buses offer the flexibility that public transit like the Valley Metro simply cannot match, including direct, curbside service and a schedule built entirely around your itinerary.
Inside our modern motorcoaches, your group can relax in plush reclining seats and enjoy premium amenities designed for sports fans. Want to watch pre-game analysis or re-watch last season's highlights? Our buses come equipped with flat-screen TVs and DVD players. Need to stay connected to your fantasy league or post tailgating photos to social media? Request a bus with high-speed onboard WiFi and personal power outlets at every seat. We also offer ample undercarriage storage space, perfect for stashing grills, coolers, folding chairs, and all the tailgating gear you need for an epic setup. With a driver at the wheel acting as your dedicated designated driver, everyone in your group can enjoy a few beers and celebrate the victory comfortably. Whether you are a local fan club or a visiting alumni association, we provide quality you can trust and prices you'll love.
Cactus League Spring Training: The Heart of Scottsdale Sports
For many sports fans, Scottsdale is synonymous with Spring Training. Every February and March, the city becomes the center of the baseball world as part of the Cactus League. Scottsdale is home to several iconic ballparks, including Scottsdale Stadium (7408 E Osborn Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251), the spring home of the San Francisco Giants. Located in the heart of Old Town, this stadium is legendary for its intimate atmosphere, but its central location means parking is extremely limited and traffic on Osborn Road and Drinkwater Boulevard becomes gridlocked hours before the first pitch. A private minibus rental is the smartest way to transport your group to the gates, allowing you to bypass the hunt for parking and enjoy the sunshine without a care.
Just a short drive north, you'll find Salt River Fields at Talking Stick (7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258), the premier facility for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies. This state-of-the-art venue offers stunning mountain views and some of the best fan experiences in baseball. However, the massive crowds often lead to long wait times in rideshare queues that can exceed 45 minutes after the game ends. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Scottsdale, your driver will be waiting at the designated charter bus lot to whisk your group away the moment the final out is recorded. We also provide transportation to other nearby Cactus League venues like Sloan Park in Mesa and Camelback Ranch in Glendale. No matter which team you support, we’ll help you build a custom multi-stadium itinerary so you can see all your favorite players in action.
Major League Action: Heading to Chase Field and Footprint Center
If your sports interests extend beyond the diamond, a trip to Downtown Phoenix is likely on your schedule. Scottsdale fans regularly head west to see the Arizona Diamondbacks play at Chase Field (401 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004). As the first stadium in the U.S. with a retractable roof, it’s the perfect place to catch a game regardless of the desert heat. But navigating the one-way streets and congested parking garages of Downtown Phoenix is a headache nobody wants on their day off. Our 56-passenger charter buses are perfect for large groups, providing a seamless transfer from Scottsdale resorts or homes directly to the Jefferson Street entrance. You’ll save on individual parking costs and keep your entire fan group synchronized for a home run experience.
Right next door to Chase Field is the Footprint Center (201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004), home to the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury. Known for its high-energy environment and "The Valley" pride, the arena is a hotspot for basketball fans and concert-goers alike. When the Suns are in the playoffs, the surrounding streets become a sea of purple and orange, making it incredibly difficult for individual cars to navigate. Charter Bus Rental Company Scottsdale offers executive-style shuttle services for corporate clients hosting VIPs or fan groups looking for a premium night out. With onboard climate control, your group will stay cool while traveling to the arena, and you can even request leather seating to match the upscale vibe of a night at the pro hoops. Let us handle the traffic on Washington Street while you focus on the starting lineup.
Football Fever: Tailgating at State Farm Stadium and Beyond
When the Arizona Cardinals take the field, the energy moves to the West Valley at State Farm Stadium (1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305). This iconic venue has hosted multiple Super Bowls and is famous for its grass field that rolls in and out of the building. For Cardinals fans, the tailgate is just as important as the game itself. However, hauling heavy gear from the remote parking lots can be exhausting. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Scottsdale provides the perfect solution. With massive undercarriage luggage compartments, we can carry all your oversized grills, tents, and coolers so you don't have to break a sweat before the coin toss. We will drop your group off at the dedicated bus parking area, which is often much closer to the entrance than general parking.
The drive from Scottsdale to Glendale can take anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour depending on I-10 traffic. Don't waste that time behind the wheel! On a private charter bus, that hour becomes an extra hour of pre-game celebration. Use our onboard PA system to fire up the crowd with a hype speech or play team anthems over the Bluetooth sound system. We’ve served everyone from youth football teams traveling to state championships to large corporate groups hosting client appreciation events at the stadium. If you’re planning a trip for a Monday Night Football matchup or a high-stakes rivalry game, remember that availability disappears fast. We recommend booking at least six months in advance for the NFL season to ensure you get the best bus in our fleet at a price that fits your budget.
Golfing in the Desert: Group Trips to the WM Phoenix Open and TPC Scottsdale
Scottsdale is world-renowned as a premier golf destination, and no event captures this spirit better than the Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale (17020 N Hayden Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85255). Often called the "Greatest Show on Grass," this tournament draws over 700,000 fans in a single week. The atmosphere, especially at the legendary 16th hole, is unlike any other event in sports. But with such massive attendance comes a logistical nightmare. Public parking is located miles away with mandatory shuttle transfers, and rideshare surge pricing can be astronomical. A private minibus or party bus rental is the only way to arrive in style and on your own schedule. We can pick up your group from any hotel or residence and drop you at the tournament’s designated transit hub, ensuring you spend more time on the course and less time in line.
Beyond the Phoenix Open, Scottsdale is home to over 200 golf courses, making it a favorite for "mancations," bachelorette weekends, and corporate retreats. If your group is planning a tour of the city's best links—like Troon North, Grayhawk, or We-Ko-Pa—don't worry about trying to fit multiple golf bags into a standard SUV. Our charter buses and minibuses offer plenty of room for all your equipment, plus overhead racks for smaller items. You can relax in reclining seats between rounds and enjoy the scenic desert views through panoramic windows. Whether you need a one-day shuttle for a tournament or a multi-day package for a golf getaway, Charter Bus Rental Company Scottsdale provides reliable transportation that moves as fast as your game. Just give us a call at 602-338-9083 and let us build the perfect itinerary for your golf group.
College Sports Culture: ASU Sun Devils and Local Classics
Scottsdale fans are just a stone’s throw away from the heart of Arizona State University in Tempe. Sun Devil Stadium (500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85287), now known as Mountain America Stadium, is where the ASU football team brings "The Inferno" to life. The game day experience in Tempe is electric, but parking near the university is notoriously difficult and expensive, with many lots reserved exclusively for permit holders. Avoid the hassle of the light rail or searching for a spot in a crowded garage by booking an ASU fan shuttle. We can pick up your alumni group or student organization in Scottsdale and deliver you right to the stadium gates, ensuring no one misses the kickoff or the Sun Devil Marching Band’s performance.
ASU sports aren't limited to football. Fans also flock to Desert Financial Arena for basketball and the new Mullett Arena for Sun Devil Hockey. If you’re organizing transportation for a youth sports team or a high school group coming into town for a camp or competition at ASU, a charter bus is the safest and most efficient choice. Our buses have years of experience serving academic organizations, ensuring your students and chaperones are in professional hands. With onboard restrooms and WiFi, even the short drive between Scottsdale and Tempe is comfortable and productive. Whether it's a Territorial Cup matchup or a weekday baseball game at Phoenix Municipal Stadium, Charter Bus Rental Company Scottsdale will get your Sun Devil supporters there on time and ready to cheer!
Post-Game Celebrations: The Best Sports Bars and Nightlife in Old Town Scottsdale
The game doesn't end when the final buzzer sounds! Scottsdale is home to one of the most vibrant post-game scenes in the country, particularly in the Old Town Entertainment District. After a day at the ballpark or the stadium, your group will want to head to local favorites like Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers (4222 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) or Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row (4420 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) to keep the energy high. Navigating Old Town in multiple cars is nearly impossible due to narrow streets and heavy pedestrian traffic, especially on weekends. A private party bus or minibus rental allows your entire group to stay together and enjoy the evening without worrying about designating a driver or splitting up across multiple Ubers.
Your Charter Bus Rental Company Scottsdale driver can act as your personal chauffeur for the night, following a custom route of your favorite bars and restaurants. Want to start with a celebratory dinner and then move to a high-energy lounge? Just say the word! We provide door-to-door service, so you can hop on and off your bus at each stop. Our party buses are equipped with wraparound leather seating, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound systems to keep the celebration going between venues. Whether you are celebrating a championship win or just enjoying a weekend out with fellow fans, we ensure everyone gets home safely at the end of the night. With 24/7 support and a commitment to your satisfaction, we are the first choice for sports fans who want to experience the best of Scottsdale nightlife without the transportation stress.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scottsdale Sports Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Scottsdale for a game?
The cost of a charter bus rental in Scottsdale ranges from $180 to $500+ per hour, $1,800 to $3,600+ per day, or $4.50 to $7.50 per mile depending on the size of the vehicle and the details of your trip. For local games within the Scottsdale or Phoenix area, you will most likely be billed at an hourly rate with a 5-hour minimum. If you are traveling out of town for an away game—such as to Tucson or Las Vegas—you will be billed at a daily or per-mile rate. Keep in mind that peak season (February through May) sees higher demand due to Spring Training and the Phoenix Open, which can impact pricing. For the most accurate price, call our team at 602-338-9083 for a free, instant quote tailored to your exact itinerary!
Where do charter buses park at Scottsdale Stadium and Salt River Fields?
Parking for large vehicles varies by venue. At Scottsdale Stadium, which is located in a dense part of Old Town, charter buses typically use designated loading zones on Osborn Road for drop-off and then relocate to off-site oversized vehicle lots near the Scottsdale library or Civic Center. At Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, there is a dedicated charter bus parking area located within the main parking complex, which makes for very easy access for groups. However, these spots are limited and often require pre-arrangement or a small fee. Your driver will be familiar with these logistics, but we always recommend contacting the stadium’s guest services department ahead of time to confirm the latest bus parking procedures for your specific game date.
Can we bring coolers and tailgating gear on the bus?
Absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of renting a full-size charter bus is the massive undercarriage storage space. You are more than welcome to bring coolers, folding tables, grills (as long as they are properly secured and cold), tents, and any other tailgating gear you need. For smaller items like backpacks and personal snacks, our buses also feature overhead parcel racks inside the cabin to keep the aisles clear. If you plan to bring a lot of equipment, just let your reservation specialist know when you book so we can ensure you are matched with a vehicle that has enough storage capacity for your group’s needs. We want your tailgate to be as epic as possible!
How far in advance should I book a bus for the WM Phoenix Open?
The Waste Management Phoenix Open is the busiest week of the year for transportation in Scottsdale. Because this event draws hundreds of thousands of people, our fleet—and every other fleet in the Valley—tends to sell out months in advance. To guarantee you get the exact vehicle you want and the best possible rate, we strongly recommend booking your bus at least 6 to 9 months ahead of time. If you are planning a high-profile corporate outing or need multiple vehicles for a large group, earlier is always better. Last-minute requests during tournament week are extremely difficult to fulfill and often come with premium pricing due to the limited supply of available coaches.
What types of buses are available for small fan groups?
If you have a smaller group of 10 to 25 fans, a minibus or a sprinter van is a perfect choice! These vehicles are more nimble than full-size coaches, making them ideal for navigating the busy streets of Old Town Scottsdale or finding drop-off points at crowded Cactus League stadiums. Our minibuses come in several sizes (15, 18, 20, 25, and 30 passengers ) and still offer many of the same great amenities as our larger buses, such as powerful air conditioning, comfortable seating, and WiFi. For an even more upscale experience, you can book a sprinter limousine which features wraparound leather seating and LED lighting—perfect for a birthday celebration or a high-end golf outing. No matter your group size, we’ll find a ride that fits!
