Flying into Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) (6033 S Sossaman Rd, Mesa, AZ 85212) instead?

Marquee Theatre (730 N Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281) packs in around 1,000 fans for rock, metal, and indie shows right in the heart of Mill Avenue, where street parking is essentially nonexistent on a Friday night.

Sun Devil Stadium (500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85287) packs in more than 53,000 fans on ASU football Saturdays, and the Packard Drive and Veterans Way corridors around the stadium get gridlocked hours before kickoff.

At Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), charter and commercial buses use the designated commercial vehicle loading zones on the Arrivals/Baggage Claim level (Level 1 curbside) at both Terminal 3 and Terminal 4. The exact zone can shift by terminal and by time of day, so confirm your specific pickup point with PHX Ground Transportation at (602) 273-3300 before your group's flight lands. Make sure your entire group — with all luggage — is assembled curbside before calling the bus forward, since commercial vehicles cannot idle at the curb waiting for stragglers.
At Sun Devil Stadium, charter buses use the Packard Drive and Veterans Way corridors for group drop-off. Oversized vehicle parking is assigned on a per-game basis — there is no standing charter bus lot. Contact ASU Parking & Transit Services at (480) 965-6124 or visit ASU Parking and Transit Services information well before game day to confirm your lot assignment, since permits are required and standard lots do not accommodate buses.
Lots typically open four hours before kickoff. Book your bus early — ASU home football Saturdays are among the highest-demand days in the entire Tempe market.
Tempe is one of the best home bases for Cactus League spring training — multiple stadiums are within 15 miles. Sloan Park (Chicago Cubs, 2330 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Mesa, AZ 85201) is about 5 miles east. Salt River Fields at Talking Stick (Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, 7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258) is about 8 miles northeast.
A minibus or charter bus keeps your group together for a stadium-hopping day without parking at each stop. Spring training runs mid-February through late March and is one of the busiest periods for bus rentals across the entire Valley — book as early as possible.
The Valley's worst congestion clusters on I-10 westbound toward Phoenix between 7–9 AM and 4–7 PM, Loop 101 (Price Freeway) through Tempe and Scottsdale, and US-60 (Superstition Freeway) eastbound toward Mesa. On game days at Sun Devil Stadium or State Farm Stadium, local streets like Mill Avenue and Apache Boulevard back up well before kickoff. A charter bus lets your group ride together while someone else handles the route — and with onboard WiFi on many models, the commute becomes productive time instead of wasted time.
Build at least 30 minutes of buffer on any event-day trip across the Valley.
Absolutely. Long-distance motorcoaches are available through the network for day trips and overnight runs from Tempe to Sedona (about 120 miles north on I-17 and AZ-89A), Tucson (about 115 miles south on I-10), Flagstaff (about 145 miles north on I-17), and Las Vegas (about 290 miles northwest). Full-size 56-passenger coaches come with reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays — everything your group needs for a comfortable long-distance run.
Enter your route details in the quote tool to see available motorcoaches and pricing for your dates.
Party buses are the most popular choice for bachelorette parties and milestone birthday nights in Tempe. A 15- to 50-passenger party bus comes with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating — so the celebration starts the moment your group boards. Mill Avenue's bar scene and the clubs in Old Town Scottsdale (~7 miles northeast) are the two most popular itineraries.
Party buses drop your group at each stop and stage nearby, so nobody hunts for parking between bars and nobody splits into separate rideshares at the end of the night. Compare available party buses and pricing right here!
Book three to six months out for most Tempe trips — and stretch that to six months or more for the Valley's highest-demand dates. ASU home football Saturdays from September through November book out fast across the entire Tempe market. The WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale returns February 8 through 14, 2027, and draws enormous crowds from across the metro.
Cactus League spring training runs mid-February through late March and is one of the single busiest periods of the year for bus rentals. Prom season in April and May across Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert school districts fills up months early. Waiting until the last minute means higher prices, fewer vehicle options, or both — book early and lock in the bus you actually want.

Group Charter Bus Destinations in Tempe
Cross the Valley in comfort with a charter bus — Tempe and the surrounding East Valley are packed with destinations worth visiting as a group! From lakeside parks and world-class sports venues to historic campuses and vibrant entertainment districts, here are six of the most popular spots bus groups head to from Tempe.
Use the previous and next buttons, the left and right arrow keys, or swipe to browse six destinations.
Tempe Town Lake
Tempe Town Lake (620 N Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 85288) is a 2-mile urban lake on the Salt River, surrounded by parks, walking trails, kayak launches, and event venues right in the heart of the city. It hosts the Tempe Festival of the Arts each spring and fall, Fourth of July fireworks, and large outdoor concerts. Bus staging is available along Rio Salado Pkwy and nearby surface lots adjacent to the lake.
Whether your group is attending a lakeside festival, paddling out on the water, or simply enjoying a sunset from the Mill Avenue Bridge, Tempe Town Lake makes a great first or last stop on any Tempe itinerary. Phone: (480) 350-8625.
ASU Gammage
ASU Gammage is one of the most architecturally significant performing arts centers in the country — a circular Frank Lloyd Wright–designed building completed in 1964 on the southern edge of the ASU campus. It hosts Broadway touring productions, classical concerts, dance performances, and special events throughout the season. Charter buses drop off on Forest Ave along the west side of the building; coordinate group arrival timing through the box office at (480) 965-3434.
Parking in the surrounding ASU lots is limited on performance nights, making a bus drop-off the cleanest approach for any group of 15 or more.
Desert Botanical Garden
Desert Botanical Garden (1201 N Galvin Pkwy, Phoenix, AZ 85008) sits about 6 miles northwest of downtown Tempe inside Papago Park, straddling the Tempe-Phoenix-Scottsdale border. The garden's 140 acres contain more than 50,000 plants, including one of the world's finest collections of desert flora. It hosts the popular Las Noches de las Luminarias holiday event each December, which draws massive crowds.
Bus parking is available on site — contact the garden directly to confirm group arrival logistics and parking assignment before your visit. Hours vary by season; check Desert Botanical Garden hours and admission information for current times and admission pricing. A great choice for school field trips, corporate outings, and family group events.
Phoenix Zoo
Phoenix Zoo (455 N Galvin Pkwy, Phoenix, AZ 85008) is one of the largest privately owned, nonprofit zoos in the United States, with more than 3,000 animals across 125 acres in Papago Park — directly adjacent to the Desert Botanical Garden. It's a top destination for school field trips, family reunions, and corporate team outings from Tempe. The zoo provides designated oversized vehicle parking; contact the group sales office directly to coordinate bus parking and group ticketing in advance.
ZooLights, the holiday lights event running November through January, draws huge crowds and fills surrounding lots fast — a bus handles drop-off and pickup without fighting for a parking space.
Salt River Fields at Talking Stick
Salt River Fields at Talking Stick (7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258) is the spring training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, about 8 miles northeast of Tempe along the Loop 101. It's widely considered one of the best spring training facilities in the Cactus League, with a lively atmosphere perfect for group outings. Oversized vehicle parking is available on site; coordinate drop-off and parking logistics with stadium operations at (480) 270-5000 before your game day.
Cactus League season runs mid-February through late March — one of the busiest periods for charter bus rentals across the entire Valley, so book early.
Mill Avenue District
Mill Avenue District (Mill Ave between University Dr and Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281) is downtown Tempe's main entertainment corridor — a walkable strip of bars, restaurants, live music venues, and shops running along the west edge of the ASU campus down to Tempe Town Lake. It's the go-to destination for bachelorette parties, birthday nights out, ASU game-day pregames, and bar crawls across Tempe. Street parking is extremely limited on weekend evenings, and rideshare surge pricing spikes after midnight.
A party bus drops your group at the nearest permitted curb and stages nearby while you move from stop to stop — so nobody splits up and nobody pays surge to get back to the hotel. Marquee Theatre (730 N Mill Ave) anchors the northern end of the strip for concert nights.
