A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Experience ASU Sun Devil Game Days in Tempe
There is nothing quite like the energy of a Sun Devil game day in Tempe. Arizona State University athletics are the heartbeat of the city, and Mountain Island Stadium (500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85281) serves as the primary battleground for the ASU football team. On game days, the streets surrounding the stadium—including Rio Salado Parkway and University Drive—become a sea of maroon and gold. For groups traveling to support the Devils, a private charter bus rental is a game-changer. Instead of splitting your party across multiple rideshares or fighting for overpriced spots in the Packard Drive Parking Structure, our bus rentals provide curbside drop-off and pickup service at designated charter zones. This allows your group to stay together and focus on the pre-game festivities at "A" Mountain or the various fan zones around the stadium.
Beyond football, Tempe is a hub for high-level collegiate basketball and hockey. Desert Financial Arena (600 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85281) hosts the ASU Sun Devils basketball teams and offers a high-intensity environment for fans. If hockey is more your speed, the state-of-the-art Mullett Arena (411 S Packard Dr, Tempe, AZ 85281) is a must-visit. Since its opening, it has become one of the most intimate and exciting venues in the country for collegiate and professional-level play. When you rent a minibus or coach bus with us, you can enjoy amenities like fast onboard WiFi to check scores and reclining seats to relax after a high-energy game. Whether you are an alumni association, a student group, or a family of superfans, Charter Bus Rental Company Tempe ensures your trip to the ASU athletic district is seamless and stress-free.
Catch Cactus League Spring Training at Tempe Diablo Stadium
Every February and March, Tempe becomes the epicenter of the baseball world as the Cactus League Spring Training season kicks off. Tempe Diablo Stadium (2200 W Alameda Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282) is the long-time spring home of the Los Angeles Angels and is widely considered one of the most scenic ballparks in the league. Nestled against the backdrop of the Twin Buttes, the stadium offers fans an incredible view of the Arizona landscape while they enjoy America’s pastime. However, with thousands of fans flocking to the stadium from across the country, traffic on Alameda Drive and the nearby I-10 junction can become a nightmare. Booking a private shuttle for your group is the smartest way to navigate the spring training crowds without the hassle of hunting for parking or paying surge prices on rideshares.
Our fleet of minibuses and full-size charter buses is perfectly equipped for baseball fans. We provide ample undercarriage storage for your gloves, bats, and coolers, ensuring that your tailgating essentials are safely stowed while you travel. If your baseball tour includes stops at other Valley stadiums—such as Scottsdale Stadium or Sloan Park in Mesa—our reservation specialists can build a custom multi-stop itinerary that follows your exact schedule. Charter Bus Rental Company Tempe has been serving Cactus League fans since 2011, and we know exactly where the designated bus loading zones are located to ensure your group gets as close to the entrance as possible. Don't let the stress of Phoenix traffic ruin your spring break; let the drivers handle the roads while you soak in the sun and the game!
Group Transportation to Professional Arenas and Stadiums
While Tempe is famous for its collegiate atmosphere, its central location makes it the perfect home base for fans heading to professional sporting events throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. If you are catching an Arizona Diamondbacks game at Chase Field (401 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) or cheering on the Phoenix Suns at Footprint Center (201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004), a private bus rental from Tempe is the most efficient way to travel. The drive into downtown Phoenix is only about 15-20 minutes, but during event hours, the gridlock on Washington and Jefferson Streets can add significant delays. Your driver will navigate the city’s complex one-way streets and drop you off just steps from the arena gates, saving you the 20-minute walk from remote parking garages.
For football fans, a trek to State Farm Stadium (1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305) in Glendale is a must for Cardinals games and major events like the Fiesta Bowl. Navigating the 30-mile journey from Tempe during a Sunday morning rush can be exhausting if you are behind the wheel. When you book a 56-passenger motorcoach with Charter Bus Rental Company Tempe, your entire fan group can travel together in a climate-controlled cabin with an onboard restroom, allowing you to bypass the need for frequent pit stops. We also coordinate with the stadium’s oversized vehicle parking permits to ensure your bus has a reserved spot. Whether you are traveling for professional football, baseball, basketball, or even soccer at CityPark, we provide the reliable transportation that professional-level fans deserve.
The Best Sports Bars and Post-Game Hangouts on Mill Avenue
The sports experience in Tempe doesn’t end when the final buzzer sounds. The city’s famous Mill Avenue District is home to some of the best sports bars and post-game hangouts in the state. After an ASU victory, groups flock to spots like Varsity Tavern (501 S Mill Ave #200, Tempe, AZ 85281) or Pedal Haus Brewery (730 S Mill Ave #102, Tempe, AZ 85281) to celebrate with food, local brews, and fellow fans. If your group is looking for a more relaxed environment with high-quality eats, Culinary Dropout (149 S Farmer Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281) offers an expansive space perfect for large parties. However, finding parking for multiple vehicles in the downtown Tempe area can be nearly impossible on weekends, and no one wants to draw the short straw and be the designated driver.
This is where Charter Bus Rental Company Tempe provides exceptional value. You can book a party bus or a minibus to serve as your private shuttle for the night! Your driver will drop your group off in the heart of the Mill Avenue action and be ready at a pre-arranged time to take everyone safely back to their hotel or home. Our vehicles feature wraparound leather seating and premium sound systems, so you can keep the energy high between stops. Whether you are celebrating a 21st birthday, hosting a corporate mixer, or just enjoying a night out with friends after the game, we ensure that your celebration remains safe and coordinated. Since 2011, we have been the go-to provider for nightlife shuttles in Tempe, and we would love to help you plan your ultimate post-game pub crawl.
Professional Training and Youth Sports Team Travel
At Charter Bus Rental Company Tempe, we don’t just serve the fans—we are the trusted transportation partner for the athletes themselves. We specialize in providing reliable bus rentals for sports teams of all levels, from local youth soccer clubs and high school varsity rosters to collegiate athletic departments. Moving a team requires more than just seats; it requires significant storage for uniforms, pads, balls, and medical kits. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate the gear for an entire football or baseball team. Inside the cabin, athletes can take advantage of reclining seats and extra legroom to stretch out and rest before a big matchup, or use the onboard TVs and DVD players to review game tape and strategize.
We serve all major local training facilities, including the Tempe Sports Complex (8401 S Hardy Dr, Tempe, AZ 85284) and the Kiwanis Recreation Center (6111 S All-America Way, Tempe, AZ 85283). If your team has an away game or a tournament in Tucson, Flagstaff, or even out-of-state in Las Vegas or Los Angeles, we offer long-distance packages tailored to your specific schedule. Our 24/7 support team is experienced in handling the unique needs of coaches and athletic directors, including last-minute schedule changes and multi-day itineraries. When you choose us, you are getting a partner who is committed to getting your athletes to the field on time and in the right headspace to win.

Navigating Game Day Traffic and Parking in the Valley
Traffic in Tempe and the surrounding Phoenix metropolitan area is a significant factor for any sports fan’s itinerary. According to local transit studies, the intersections near ASU—particularly at Rural Road and University Drive—see some of the highest congestion levels in the city during event windows. Parking lots near Mountain America Stadium often fill to capacity two to three hours before kickoff, and rates can soar during rivalry games or major concerts. For groups traveling from the West Valley or Northern Arizona, navigating the stack interchanges where the I-10 meets the Loop 202 can be daunting. Relying on a caravan of personal vehicles almost guarantees that your group will become separated, leading to late arrivals and a disjointed experience.
Renting a charter bus or minibus eliminates these frustrations entirely. Your driver is well-versed in Tempe’s traffic patterns and the specific loading regulations for all major venues. Plus, with a private bus, your group can skip the mile-long walks from overflow parking lots in the 110-degree heat. Instead, enjoy the powerful air conditioning and plush seating as we handle the navigation and parking. We work relentlessly to ensure your group stays on a strict schedule, so you never miss a kickoff, a first pitch, or a puck drop. With Charter Bus Rental Company Tempe, the journey to the game is just as comfortable as the victory itself.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tempe Sports Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Tempe for a game day?
The cost of a charter bus rental in Tempe depends on the size of the vehicle, the duration of your trip, and the time of year. For local game-day shuttles, we often provide hourly rates ranging from $150 to $450 per hour, with a minimum rental period (usually 4-5 hours). If you are planning a multi-day trip or an out-of-town game to Tucson or Las Vegas, we may quote you a daily rate between $1,200 and $2,800 or a per-mile rate. Because pricing is personalized to your specific itinerary, the best way to get an accurate number is to call us at 602-338-9083.
Where do charter buses park at Mountain Island Stadium and Mullett Arena?
Parking for oversized vehicles like charter buses and minibuses is strictly regulated at ASU venues. For Mountain Island Stadium, buses typically utilize designated zones along Packard Drive or at the Lot 59 oversized vehicle area. At Mullett Arena, loading and unloading usually take place near the front entrance, with buses then moving to off-site staging areas. Because these regulations can change based on the event's scale, your Charter Bus Rental Company Tempe driver will handle all the logistics and follow the latest venue-specific instructions. We recommend coordinating with our team at least two weeks before your event to ensure we have all necessary parking permits and access codes.
Can we bring coolers and tailgating gear on the bus?
Absolutely! One of the biggest perks of renting a full-size charter bus is the massive undercarriage storage space. You can bring coolers, folding chairs, tents, grills (provided they are safely secured), and any other tailgating gear you need. For smaller groups using minibuses, we offer overhead parcel racks and rear luggage compartments. We do ask that any food or drinks brought into the cabin be kept tidy to ensure a comfortable ride for everyone. If your group plans to enjoy adult beverages (for those 21+), please let your reservation specialist know when you call 602-338-9083 so we can match you with a vehicle and driver that permits it!
What amenities are included in a sports team bus rental?
Our sports team rentals are built for performance and comfort. Standard amenities on our full-size motorcoaches include powerful air conditioning (a must in the Tempe heat!), reclining seats with extra legroom, onboard restrooms, and PA systems. You can also request premium features like high-speed WiFi for streaming, power outlets at every seat to keep devices charged, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players for reviewing game film or watching pre-game coverage. We also offer ADA-accessible vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts and securement areas at no additional cost—just let us know your requirements when booking.
How far in advance should I book my Tempe bus rental for Cactus League games?
Spring Training is one of the busiest times of the year for the transportation industry in Arizona. We strongly recommend booking your charter bus or minibus at least 3 to 6 months in advance for games in February and March. Demand for vehicles peaks during these months, and the best rates and newest buses sell out quickly. If you are planning a trip for a major rivalry game or a weekend series, booking as early as possible ensures you get the exact vehicle you want. However, we do handle last-minute requests whenever inventory allows, so don't hesitate to call Charter Bus Rental Company Tempe at 602-338-9083 even if your game is right around the corner!
