A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Rock Out at The Marquee Theatre
If you are looking for an authentic concert experience in Tempe, The Marquee Theatre is a local legend. Located just north of Tempe Town Lake, this venue has hosted thousands of acts ranging from indie rock bands to major hip-hop artists. It’s a standing-room-only venue with high energy, but the parking situation can be dusty and chaotic, often requiring a walk across dirt lots or busy bridges. When you rent a party bus or minibus with Charter Bus Tempe, you skip the dust and the hike.
Your driver can drop your group off right at the front entrance on Mill Avenue, allowing you to head straight for the ticket line or security check without breaking a sweat. After the encore, while other concert-goers are stuck in the gridlock trying to exit the lot onto Washington Street, your climate-controlled bus will be waiting to whisk you away to a post-concert dinner or back home.

Broadway and Beyond at ASU Gammage
For a touch of culture and architectural history, a trip to ASU Gammage is essential. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, this auditorium is one of the crown jewels of the Arizona State University campus and the premier destination for touring Broadway musicals, orchestra performances, and guest speakers. Groups from senior living communities, schools, and corporate arts appreciators frequently book Charter Bus Tempe for these events to ensure a sophisticated and accessible experience.
Navigating the roundabout and finding parking near Apache Boulevard can be stressful, especially for dressier events. A charter bus rental eliminates this stress entirely. We can arrange for a curb-side drop-off so your group can admire the stunning architecture before the show. Our buses offer plush, reclining seats and ample legroom, perfect for relaxing after a three-hour production of Hamilton or The Lion King. If you are organizing a school field trip to see a matinee, our fleet includes buses with PA systems and overhead monitors to help chaperones keep track of students and provide educational context on the way to the theater.
ASU Gammage 1200 S Forest Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281
Festival Fun at Tempe Beach Park
Tempe Beach Park is the epicenter of outdoor festivals in Arizona. From the baseball-themed rock anthems of the Innings Festival to the bratwurst and brews of the Four Peaks Oktoberfest, this venue draws tens of thousands of people to the banks of Tempe Town Lake. While the location is scenic, parking is virtually non-existent for large crowds, often forcing attendees to park miles away in downtown garages. Don't let a long walk in the sun ruin your festival vibe.
Book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Tempe to keep your festival crew together. We can pick up your group from a central meeting point in Phoenix, Chandler, or Gilbert and drop you off near the Rio Salado Parkway entrance. Your bus serves as the perfect air-conditioned meeting spot before heading into the festival grounds. With undercarriage storage available on our full-size motorcoaches, you can easily bring along sunscreen, hats, changing clothes, or folding chairs (if permitted by the venue). When the final set ends and your feet are tired, you’ll be thankful for a comfortable, reserved seat on your private shuttle home.

Catch the Action at Mountain America Stadium
Few things rival the energy of a Saturday night football game at Mountain America Stadium (formerly Sun Devil Stadium). Nestled between two mountain buttes, this iconic venue is home to the Arizona State University Sun Devils. Whether you are an alumni association planning a reunion tailgate or a student organization rallying for the Territorial Cup against U of A, game day transportation is crucial. Traffic on Rural Road and University Drive can come to a standstill hours before kickoff.
With a Charter Bus Tempe rental, you can master the art of tailgating. Our 56-passenger charter buses come with massive storage bays underneath the bus, perfect for hauling coolers, tents, grills, and cornhole boards. Your driver handles the navigation through the dense campus traffic, dropping your group off near the designated tailgating zones. Once the game is over, you avoid the post-game traffic jam stress; simply hop back on the bus, enjoy the air conditioning, and celebrate the victory (or debrief the loss) with your fellow fans.

Intimate Performances at Tempe Center for the Arts
For a more contemporary and intimate setting, the Tempe Center for the Arts (TCA) offers a stunning backdrop of the lake and a lineup of incredible local theater, jazz concerts, and comedy shows. It is a favorite venue for corporate events, weddings, and private galas. If you are planning a corporate retreat or a client appreciation night at the TCA, impression is everything. Arriving in a caravan of personal cars or separate rideshares can feel disjointed.
Instead, book a sleek executive minibus or sprinter van from Charter Bus Tempe. We can shuttle your team from your office in the Papago Park Center or downtown Phoenix directly to the TCA. With onboard WiFi and power outlets, your team can wrap up last-minute emails or enjoy a relaxed conversation before the event. A private shuttle ensures that everyone arrives simultaneously, allowing your event to start exactly on time. Afterward, your driver can take the group to a nearby restaurant on Mill Avenue for a post-show dinner.

Hockey and More at Mullett Arena
One of the newest additions to Tempe's entertainment district is Mullett Arena. Hosting everything from ASU Sun Devil Hockey to wrestling matches and concerts, this multipurpose arena is a hub of activity. Because it is located right in the heart of the Novus Innovation Corridor, parking can be premium and confusing for first-time visitors. If you are organizing a youth hockey team outing or a group of friends heading to a match, Charter Bus Tempe is your best play.
Keep your group organized and safe with a private bus rental. For youth sports teams, a charter bus provides the safety and supervision parents expect, along with plenty of room for gear bags if you are traveling for a tournament. For adult fan groups, a minibus is the perfect size to shuttle you from a pre-game happy hour to the arena doors. Your driver will deal with the traffic on Packard Drive so you can focus on cheering for the home team.

Nightlife Transportation on Mill Avenue
Sometimes the "event" isn't a single concert or game—it's the legendary nightlife of the Mill Avenue District. From Casey Moore’s Oyster House to the vibrant dance floors of Glow and other clubs, Mill Avenue is the place to be for bachelor and bachelorette parties, 21st birthdays, and graduation celebrations. However, finding parking is difficult, and organizing safe rides home for a large group is even harder.
Rent a party bus or minibus from Charter Bus Tempe and enjoy a built-in designated driver for the night. We can pick your group up from your hotel or home, drop you off right in the middle of the action on Mill Ave, and be ready to pick you up whenever you decide to call it a night. You can even plan a bar crawl that starts in Old Town Scottsdale and ends in Tempe—the drivers are happy to follow your custom itinerary. With a private bus, nobody gets left behind, nobody has to pay surge pricing, and everyone gets home safely.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tempe Concert Transportation
How far in advance should I book my charter bus for a Tempe event?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your event date confirmed. For major events like the Innings Festival, ASU Graduation, or big football games, demand is extremely high. Ideally, try to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, Charter Bus Tempe can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us at 480-801-6950 even if your trip is coming up soon.
Will the bus drop us off right at the venue entrance?
Our goal is to get you as close to the action as possible. Most major venues in Tempe, such as Gammage, Mountain America Stadium, and The Marquee, have specific designated zones for charter bus drop-offs. Your driver will navigate to these zones to ensure a safe and convenient curbside arrival. For festivals at Tempe Beach Park where road closures are common, we will coordinate the closest accessible drop-off point to minimize your walking distance.
What sizes of buses do you offer for rentals in Tempe?
Charter Bus Tempe maintains a diverse fleet to suit groups of all sizes. We offer minibuses that seat anywhere from 18 to 25 passengers, perfect for smaller parties, corporate teams, or shuttle services. For larger groups, such as school bands, sports teams, or large wedding parties, we offer full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches. These larger buses come equipped with undercarriage storage for luggage and equipment, as well as onboard restrooms.
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Tempe?
The cost of your rental depends on several factors, including the date of your trip, the duration of the rental, the distance traveled, and the type of bus you choose. Rates tend to be higher during peak seasons (like spring training or graduation). Because every trip is unique, we provide personalized quotes.
