A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Sun Devil Saturday: Exploring Mountain America Stadium
If you are in Tempe on a Saturday in the fall, there is only one place to be: Mountain America Stadium (formerly known as Sun Devil Stadium). Home to the Arizona State University (ASU) Sun Devils, this venue is iconic. Nestled between two mountain buttes, the stadium offers a setting unlike any other in college football. The energy here is palpable, with the student section bringing the noise and the heat.
However, getting 50,000+ fans into a venue tucked against a mountain can create significant traffic bottlenecks, particularly along Rio Salado Parkway and Rural Road. Parking passes are often sold out months in advance, and public lots can be a long, hot walk from the gates. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Tempe, you bypass the worst of the parking scramble. We can arrange drop-offs near the stadium's designated bus zones, allowing your group to head straight to the tailgate or the turnstiles. Your driver will handle the vehicle, finding off-site parking and returning to pick you up exactly when and where you need them.

Experience the Cactus League at Tempe Diablo Stadium
For baseball purists, nothing beats the intimacy and relaxed atmosphere of the Cactus League Spring Training. Tempe is the proud spring home of the Los Angeles Angels. Tempe Diablo Stadium is widely considered one of the most picturesque ballparks in the league, offering stunning views of the Marriott Buttes resort on the hill beyond the outfield.
Spring Training brings tourists from all over the country, meaning the roads around the stadium—specifically I-10 and Broadway Road—become incredibly congested. If you are organizing a corporate outing, a senior community trip, or a large family vacation to catch a game, a private bus rental is essential. Our buses come with ample undercarriage storage, perfect for stowing lawn chairs, sunscreen, and souvenirs. Plus, with our climate-controlled interiors, you can escape the midday sun immediately after the ninth inning, relaxing in a reclining seat while we navigate the post-game rush.

Catch the Action at Mullett Arena
One of the newest additions to the Tempe sports landscape is Mullett Arena. Located on the ASU campus, this multi-purpose arena is the home of the ASU Sun Devils men's ice hockey team and also hosts volleyball and gymnastics. For a brief period, it even served as the temporary home for the NHL's Arizona Coyotes, proving that this intimate 5,000-seat venue packs a major punch in terms of atmosphere.
Because it is located right in the heart of the campus district near Packard Drive, parking is shared with other university events and can be scarce. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Tempe is perfect for youth hockey teams or alumni groups heading to a match. We can drop your group right at the curb. If you are a visiting team, our charter buses offer plenty of space for hockey bags, sticks, and protective gear, ensuring your athletes travel in comfort without being cramped by their equipment.

Short Hops to Phoenix: Chase Field and Footprint Center
One of the best things about Tempe is its central location. You are just minutes away from downtown Phoenix, home to the Major Leagues. Whether you want to catch the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field or the Phoenix Suns and Mercury at the Footprint Center, Tempe is the perfect launching pad.
While the light rail is an option, it can be crowded, slow, and difficult to manage if you are trying to keep a group of 20 or more people together. A private charter bus offers a direct, door-to-door connection. We can pick your group up from your Tempe hotel—like the Tempe Mission Palms or The Westin—and drop you off steps from the arena in downtown Phoenix. After the game, you won't have to wait on a platform or surge-price an Uber; your driver will be waiting to whisk you back to Tempe for a post-game celebration on Mill Avenue.

Road Trip to Glendale: Cardinals Games at State Farm Stadium
Football fans know that the Arizona Cardinals play in Glendale, which is on the opposite side of the metro area from Tempe. The drive across town on game day can take upwards of an hour depending on traffic on the I-10. If you are taking a large group from Tempe to State Farm Stadium, coordinating a caravan of personal vehicles is a recipe for disaster—someone always gets lost, and paying for parking for five or six cars adds up fast.
Booking a 56-passenger motorcoach from Charter Bus Tempe turns that tedious drive into a party. Your group can utilize the onboard WiFi to check fantasy scores, use the PA system to get the hype going, and even enjoy a few beverages while a driver handles the stressful freeway traffic. We have extensive experience navigating the oversized vehicle lots at State Farm Stadium, ensuring a smooth arrival and departure.

Tee Off at Top Golf Courses and Recreation Spots
Tempe isn't just for spectators; it’s a paradise for active sports enthusiasts. Tempe Town Lake is a hub for rowing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, and it hosts the grueling Ironman Arizona triathlon every year. If your club or team is traveling with oars, bicycles, or wet suits, you need reliable transportation with serious cargo capacity. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate sporting equipment that simply won't fit in a standard SUV.
For the golfers, Tempe is home to the stunning Papago Golf Club, set against the backdrop of the red sandstone Papago Buttes. Transporting a corporate group or a bachelor party to the links is seamless with a minibus. We can easily stow golf bags and ensure the group arrives together for their tee time.

Post-Game Celebrations on Mill Avenue
No sports guide to Tempe is complete without mentioning the legendary Mill Avenue District. After the game ends, this is where the celebration begins. Packed with sports bars, breweries, and restaurants like Pedal Haus Brewery or Casey Moore’s Oyster House, it is the heartbeat of the city's nightlife.
The challenge with Mill Avenue is parking—it can be scarce and expensive. Furthermore, if your group plans on drinking, comfort is the priority. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Tempe, you have a built-in designated driver. We can drop your group off at the start of the district and pick you up at a pre-arranged time to take everyone comfortably back to their hotels or homes. It allows you to enjoy the victory celebrations responsibly and without stress.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tempe Sports Transportation
Is there enough room for tailgating gear?
Absolutely. If you book a full-size 56-passenger charter bus, you will have access to spacious undercarriage storage bays. These are perfect for storing coolers, folding chairs, tents, grills (must be empty of fuel), and cornhole boards. If you are booking a smaller minibus, storage space is more limited, so be sure to let our team know exactly what you plan to bring so we can match you with the right vehicle.
How far in advance should I book for Spring Training?
Spring Training (February and March) is one of the busiest times of year for transportation in Arizona due to the influx of visitors. We highly recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and to get the best possible rates. If you have a last-minute request, give us a call at 623-309-5000—we will always do our best to accommodate you!
Do you handle airport pickups for visiting teams?
Yes, we specialize in airport transfers! We can pick up your sports team, coaching staff, and equipment directly from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) or Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA). The drivers are familiar with the staging areas for large buses at the terminals. We will monitor your flight status to ensure we are there when you land, ready to whisk you away to your hotel or practice facility.
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Tempe?
The cost of a charter bus rental depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of the trip, the time of year, and total mileage. Local trips are often priced by the hour (with a minimum hour requirement), while long-distance or multi-day trips are priced by the day or mile. Because every trip is unique, we recommend calling our 24/7 team at 623-309-5000. We can provide you with a free, personalized quote in under a minute!
