A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch Arizona State University Sun Devils Action
If there is one thing that defines Tempe, it is the undeniable spirit of the Arizona State University Sun Devils. For alumni groups, student organizations, and visiting teams, getting to an ASU game is a rite of passage. The centerpiece of this action is Mountain America Stadium (formerly Sun Devil Stadium), located at 500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85287. Nestled between the twin buttes of Papago Park and Tempe Town Lake, this venue hosts electrifying football games that draw thousands of fans. Navigating the traffic on Loop 202 or finding parking near Mill Avenue on game day can be a nightmare for a caravan of cars. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Tempe, your group can bypass the stress of parking lots. We can arrange for your driver to drop you off near the stadium entrance, allowing you to head straight to the tailgate or your seats while we handle the bus parking logistics.
But ASU sports aren't just about football. Hockey has taken the desert by storm at the newly constructed Mullett Arena, located at 411 S Packard Dr, Tempe, AZ 85287. Whether you are organizing a group outing to watch the Sun Devils on the ice or catching other university events, a minibus rental is the perfect solution for smaller groups. With onboard WiFi, your group can post photos of the game in real-time without draining their data, and with our climate-controlled cabins, you can escape the desert heat the moment you step off the curb. We also provide transportation for visiting collegiate teams, offering ample undercarriage storage for bulky equipment bags, sticks, and uniforms, ensuring your athletes arrive rested and ready to compete.
Spring Training Baseball in the East Valley
For baseball fans, March in Arizona is paradise. The Cactus League brings 15 MLB teams to the Phoenix metro area, and Tempe is right in the thick of the action. The Los Angeles Angels call Tempe Diablo Stadium home, located at 2200 W Alameda Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282. This picturesque stadium offers a view of the buttes in the outfield and is a favorite destination for fan groups escaping colder climates. However, Spring Training traffic is notorious. Games often start in the early afternoon, meaning travel time coincides with local rush hour. Instead of splitting your group into multiple rideshares with surging prices, keep everyone together on a Charter Bus Tempe motorcoach. You can enjoy a few cold drinks responsibly on the way to the game (ask us about our alcohol policy!), and your driver will be waiting to pick you up as soon as the final out is recorded.
Just a short drive from Tempe is Sloan Park, the spring home of the Chicago Cubs, located at 2330 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Mesa, AZ 85201. It is the largest spring training stadium by capacity and draws massive crowds. If your group wants to do a "doubleheader" day—catching an Angels game in Tempe and then heading to a night game or dinner in nearby Mesa—a private charter bus rental gives you the flexibility to create your own itinerary. There is no waiting for a scheduled shuttle or trying to coordinate meetup spots in crowded parking lots. Your bus runs on your schedule, ensuring you don't miss the first pitch or the seventh-inning stretch.
Professional Sports Just a Short Drive Away
While Tempe has its own incredible sports scene, its central location makes it the perfect launching pad for visiting major professional sports venues in the greater Phoenix area. If your group is staying at a hotel in Tempe, such as the Tempe Mission Palms (60 E 5th St, Tempe, AZ 85281) or the Canopy by Hilton (108 E University Dr, Tempe, AZ 85281), we can provide seamless round-trip transportation to see the pros play. For NFL action, we can shuttle your group across town to State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, located at 1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305. The drive from Tempe to Glendale can take 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic on I-10, and having a restroom on board your charter bus makes that journey much more comfortable for everyone involved.
For NBA and MLB fans, downtown Phoenix is just a quick hop west. We frequently transport groups to Chase Field (401 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) to see the Diamondbacks or to the Footprint Center (201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) for Phoenix Suns and Mercury games. Downtown parking can be expensive and scarce during event nights. By renting a bus with Charter Bus Tempe, you get door-to-door service. Your driver can drop your group off right near the venues, allowing you to grab dinner at CityScape or explore the downtown vibe before the game. Afterward, you’ll have a safe, air-conditioned ride waiting to take you back to Tempe, eliminating the need for designated drivers or late-night navigation.
Hosting Your Own Tournament at Tempe Sports Complex
Tempe isn't just for watching sports; it is a premier destination for playing them. If you are a tournament organizer, a coach of a travel team, or a school athletic director, you likely know about the Tempe Sports Complex, located at 8401 S Hardy Dr, Tempe, AZ 85284. With its expansive soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and skate park, it hosts tournaments year-round. Moving a team of athletes, coaches, and support staff requires coordination and space. Our 56-passenger full-size charter buses are designed exactly for this purpose. With massive undercarriage luggage bays, you can easily store soccer balls, bats, medical kits, coolers, and personal luggage without cluttering the aisle.
Another popular venue for youth sports and recreational leagues is Kiwanis Park, located at 6111 S All-America Way, Tempe, AZ 85283. This massive park features a wave pool, tennis center, and batting cages. When you book a bus with Charter Bus Tempe for your tournament travel, you are ensuring that the team stays together. Coaches can use the onboard PA system to discuss strategy on the way to the field, or players can use the reclining seats to rest before the competition. We can even arrange shuttle services between the fields and local hotels, ensuring that your team stays on schedule throughout the tournament weekend.
Golfing in the Desert: Tempe's Top Courses
For many, a trip to Arizona isn't complete without hitting the links. Tempe offers some beautiful desert golf experiences that are perfect for corporate outings, bachelor parties, or alumni gatherings. Papago Golf Club, located at 5595 E Karsten Way, Phoenix, AZ 85008 (bordering Tempe), offers stunning views of the Papago Buttes and is a favorite for group tournaments. Transporting golf clubs for a large group can be a hassle in standard rental cars or taxis. A minibus or charter bus rental offers ample storage space for golf bags, ensuring your clubs arrive in pristine condition.
Another excellent option for groups is Rolling Hills Golf Course, located at 1415 N Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281, which offers a shorter but challenging course within the city limits. Or, try Ken McDonald Golf Course at 800 E Divot Dr, Tempe, AZ 85283, known for being player-friendly and active. After 18 holes under the Arizona sun, there is nothing better than stepping into a pre-cooled charter bus. Your group can relax, rehydrate, and head straight to a post-round dinner without worrying about driving. We can customize a golf tour itinerary that hits multiple courses over a weekend, or simply provide a one-day shuttle for your corporate charity tournament.
The Best Sports Bars for Post-Game Celebrations
The game might end at the final buzzer, but the celebration often continues well into the night. Tempe has a vibrant nightlife and culinary scene perfect for sports fans. If you want to grab a local brew and watch highlights, Four Peaks Brewing Company at 1340 E 8th St, Tempe, AZ 85281 is a legendary local spot housed in a historic brick building. It’s perfect for large groups, but parking can be tight in the surrounding neighborhood. A charter bus can drop your group right at the front door.
For a lively atmosphere right near the university, Pedal Haus Brewery at 730 S Mill Ave #102, Tempe, AZ 85281 offers a massive patio, great food, and plenty of screens for watching sports. Mill Avenue is the heartbeat of Tempe’s nightlife, and it can be difficult to keep a large group together as you move from bar to bar. By booking a private shuttle or party bus with Charter Bus Tempe, you ensure that everyone has a safe ride home. Whether you are celebrating a big win or just enjoying a night out with fellow fans, having a driver means no one has to worry about sobriety tests or surge pricing on ride-sharing apps. We are your built-in designated driver for the night.
Why Choose a Charter Bus for Sports Travel?
When you choose Charter Bus Tempe for your sports travel needs, you aren't just renting a vehicle; you are investing in peace of mind, comfort, and efficiency. Traveling in the Arizona heat requires reliable transportation with powerful air conditioning, which serves as the standard across our fleet. We understand that sports equipment is bulky and heavy; our full-size motorcoaches offer cavernous under-bus storage to keep the cabin clear and comfortable. Inside, amenities like high-speed WiFi allow fans to check fantasy scores and players to stream game film, while power outlets keep devices charged for the long haul.
Furthermore, coordinating a caravan of 10 or 15 cars to a stadium like State Farm Stadium is a recipe for disaster—someone always gets lost, stuck at a light, or parked in a different lot. With a charter bus, your entire group arrives at the same time, enters the venue together, and leaves together. Our 24/7 reservation team is always on standby to assist with last-minute changes, whether your game goes into overtime or you decide to add a stop for a victory dinner. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the game.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tempe Sports Transportation
How much storage space is there for tailgating gear?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for tailgating essentials. You can easily fit coolers, folding chairs, small grills, tents, and cornhole boards underneath the bus. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for smaller personal items like backpacks or purses. If you are renting a minibus, storage space is more limited, usually restricted to a rear trunk area. If you plan on bringing a lot of gear, be sure to let our reservation specialists know so we can match you with the right bus size for your needs.
How far in advance should I book for Spring Training?
Spring Training (February and March) is one of the busiest travel seasons in Arizona. Hotels fill up, and transportation is in extremely high demand. To ensure you get the best bus for your group at a competitive price, we highly recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. While we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, booking early guarantees availability during this peak sports season.
Do you service away games outside of Arizona?
Absolutely! Charter Bus Tempe is equipped for long-distance travel. If your sports team is competing in a tournament in California, Nevada, New Mexico, or anywhere else in the country, we can take you there. Our charter buses are designed for long hauls, featuring reclining seats, footrests, and onboard restrooms to minimize stops. Your driver will handle the interstate driving while the team rests and prepares for the competition.
Is the bus air-conditioned?
Yes, absolutely. We know that the Arizona heat can be intense, especially in the late spring and summer months. All of our vehicles, from sprinters to full-size motorcoaches, are equipped with powerful, modern air conditioning systems to keep your group cool and comfortable. You can escape the sun and relax in a climate-controlled environment the moment you step on board.
