A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Sun Devils at Mountain America Stadium
For many in Tempe, life revolves around the Arizona State University Sun Devils. Game days at Mountain America Stadium (formerly Sun Devil Stadium), located at 500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85287, are legendary. The energy is palpable as thousands of fans clad in maroon and gold descend upon the campus. However, with capacity crowds comes heavy congestion 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 entrance.
When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Tempe, you elevate your game day experience. We can pick your alumni group or student organization up directly from your meeting point—whether that’s a hotel in Downtown Tempe or a residence in South Tempe—and drop you off near the stadium entrance. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with undercarriage storage perfect for coolers, tents, and folding chairs, making us the ultimate choice for tailgating. After the game, you won't have to worry about the post-game traffic exodus; simply relax in your climate-controlled cabin with reclining seats and relive the highlights on our onboard TV monitors.
Experience the Magic of Cactus League Spring Training
Every March, the eyes of the baseball world turn to Arizona for the Cactus League, and Tempe is right in the center of the action. Tempe Diablo Stadium (2200 W Alameda Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282), home to the Los Angeles Angels during Spring Training, offers one of the most scenic backdrops in baseball, overlooking the Marriott Buttes resort. It’s a fantastic venue, but the parking lot fills up rapidly, and navigating the busy intersection of Broadway Road and 48th Street can be stressful.
A private bus rental is the best way to hit a double-header or follow your favorite team across the Valley. Since Charter Bus Tempe serves the entire Greater Phoenix area, we can easily shuttle your group from Tempe Diablo Stadium to other nearby Spring Training facilities like Sloan Park in Mesa or Scottsdale Stadium. With a private driver, your group can enjoy a few cold beverages at the game without worrying about designating a driver. We handle the navigation so you can focus on catching foul balls and getting autographs.
Ice Action at Mullett Arena
Who says you can't enjoy ice sports in the desert? Mullett Arena (411 S Packard Dr, Tempe, AZ 85281) has quickly become a hotspot for hockey fans. Whether you are there to support the ASU Sun Devil hockey team or catch other special events on the ice, the atmosphere is intimate and energetic. Located right on the ASU campus, parking is shared with other university events, which can make finding a spot difficult during peak times.
Charter Bus Tempe provides seamless transportation for fan clubs and youth hockey teams traveling to Mullett Arena. If you are a visiting team, our charter buses offer ample storage space for bulky hockey gear, skate bags, and sticks in the luggage bays, ensuring the aisles stay clear for players to stretch out. With onboard WiFi and power outlets, athletes can review game tape or relax with music before hitting the ice. We ensure your team arrives together, on time, and ready to compete.
Your Gateway to Phoenix Pro Sports
One of the biggest advantages of staying in Tempe is its central location. You are just a short drive away from the major professional sports venues in downtown Phoenix and Glendale. However, anyone who has driven on I-10 during rush hour knows that a "short drive" can turn into a long haul without the right planning. Charter Bus Tempe makes it easy to access the big leagues without the big hassle.
We regularly transport groups to Chase Field (401 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) to see the Diamondbacks and the Footprint Center (201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) for Suns and Mercury games. Instead of paying $40 or more per vehicle for parking in downtown Phoenix and splitting your group into multiple cars, everyone can ride together. We also service State Farm Stadium (1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305) for Arizona Cardinals games. Your driver will drop you off within walking distance of the stadium and wait until the clock hits zero to bring you comfortably back to Tempe.
Golf Outings and Tournaments in Tempe
For those who prefer to play rather than watch, Tempe offers some incredible golfing opportunities. The Rolling Hills Golf Course (1415 N Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281) and the nearby Papago Golf Club (5595 E Karsten Way, Phoenix, AZ 85008) offer stunning desert views and challenging fairways. Organizing a corporate golf retreat or a charity tournament involves moving a lot of people and a lot of clubs.
Our shuttle bus rentals are perfect for golf outings. A 25-passenger minibus or a full-size coach has plenty of room to store golf bags safely in the undercarriage compartments, preventing damage to expensive equipment. After 18 holes in the Arizona sun, your group will appreciate stepping into a powerfully air-conditioned bus with plush seating. We can shuttle your group from the course to a post-round dinner at a steakhouse on Mill Avenue or back to your resort, ensuring the day ends on a high note.
Ironman and Endurance Events
Tempe is famous for hosting grueling endurance events, including the Ironman Arizona, which centers around Tempe Town Lake (80 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281). These events draw thousands of athletes and spectators, resulting in significant road closures and detours throughout the city. If you are bringing a group of supporters or a triathlon club to compete, relying on personal vehicles can be a logistical nightmare due to these closures.
Charter Bus Tempe is experienced in navigating the complex road networks during major city events. We can get your athletes as close to the transition areas as road closures allow and provide a comfortable base of operations for spectators. With onboard restrooms available on our full-size coaches, your group has a convenient facility while waiting for their athletes to cross the finish line. Let us handle the map while you handle the miles.
Youth Sports and Tournament Travel
Tempe is a hub for youth sports tournaments, from soccer at the Tempe Sports Complex (8401 S Hardy Dr, Tempe, AZ 85284) to baseball tournaments at the Kiwanis Park Recreation Center (6111 S All America Way, Tempe, AZ 85283). Traveling with a youth team requires safety, organization, and plenty of patience. Coordinating a caravan of parents driving minivans often leads to late arrivals and confused directions.
Choose a safer, more organized alternative with a charter bus rental. We work with schools and leagues across Arizona to provide safe, DOT-compliant transportation for student-athletes. Our buses allow the team to bond, the coaches to give last-minute pep talks over the PA system, and the parents to relax. With plenty of room for uniforms, balls, and gear, plus entertainment options like DVD players to keep the kids occupied, Charter Bus Tempe is the MVP of tournament travel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tempe Sports Transportation
Is there enough room for our tailgating gear?
Absolutely. If you rent a full-size 56-passenger charter bus, you will have access to massive undercarriage storage bays. These compartments are spacious enough to hold coolers, folding tables, chairs, small grills, and cornhole boards. If you are renting a smaller minibus, storage space is more limited, usually restricted to overhead bins and a small rear trunk. Be sure to tell your reservation specialist how much gear you plan to bring so we can match you with the right bus.
How far in advance should we book a bus for Spring Training?
Spring Training is one of the busiest travel seasons in Tempe and the greater Phoenix area. We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your group confirms your travel dates—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. Booking early ensures you get the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive pricing. However, our large fleet allows us to often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us at 623-291-1150 even if the game is coming up soon.
Does the bus stay with us during the game?
That is entirely up to you and your itinerary! When you book with Charter Bus Tempe, you rent the bus for a specific block of time. If you want the driver to drop you off and return for pickup after the game, we can arrange that. If you prefer the bus to stay on-site (which is great if you want to leave items on the bus or have a place to cool off), we can do that too, provided there is adequate bus parking at the venue. Your reservation specialist will help you determine the best logistics for your specific event.
What happens if the game goes into overtime?
We know that sports are unpredictable! The drivers are flexible and understand that games can run long due to overtime or extra innings. We generally build a buffer into our schedules, but if you go significantly over your contracted time, you may be billed for the additional hours. We recommend booking your bus for an hour or two past the expected end time of the game to account for traffic exiting the stadium and any thrilling overtime victories.
