It's "Game On" with a Charter Bus Rental

Ride in Comfort, Luxury and Convenience to Any Sporting Event

There's a big game coming up and you don't want to miss it…and you want to share the once-in-a-lifetime experience with friends and fellow fans. But you don't want to drive there in your own vehicle and you certainly don't want to carpool. That means somebody won't get to join in all the fun. There's a better way—travel in comfort, luxury, style, convenience and safety with a charter bus from US Coachways.

Why a Charter Bus Is a Great Option for a Group Outing to a Sporting Event

When you're taking a group of rabid fans to any type of sporting event, it's essential that the travel there and back goes well. Otherwise, folks may forget what a great time they had at the game. Here's why a charter bus from US Coachways is a great option:

You won't miss the start of the game — With most other forms of travel, delays and cancellations are fairly common. More than 850,000 air travelers will arrive late somewhere today. That doesn't happen with a charter bus. Your driver has the tools and resources to anticipate traffic challenges and to find alternate routes to get you there on time. In addition, we have access to a vast fleet of coaches nationwide, so it's easier for us to find a replacement vehicle if there are mechanical problems.
You won't have to deal with a lot of the hassle — On a charter bus, you won't have to find your way to the stadium, fight traffic or look for a place to park. We'll drop you off close to the venue and pick you up there afterward.
You'll have unmatched flexibility — When you travel on a charter bus, you decide when you'll leave, where you'll go, how long you'll stay and when you'll go home. If it's a blowout in the third quarter and you want to leave early, let us know. We can often accommodate real-time adjustments to your itinerary.
You'll be safe and secure — On a charter bus, you have a trained professional behind the wheel, making it one of the most accident-free ways to travel. The limited access to your coach also makes it easy to monitor who comes and goes. You and your personal items will be safe and secure.
You'll ride in comfort — The seats on a charter bus are wide, with more leg room than you'll find on any mode of transportation. There's no middle seat, either, so you won't feel packed in like a sardine. The aisles are spacious and you can move about at your leisure.
The fun lasts a lot longer on a charter bus — The party starts long before you get to the game and you can celebrate all the way home. You can relax at the game, knowing you won't have to get behind the wheel.
It's consistently one of the most affordable ways to travel — On a charter bus, you share many of the expenses of travel with fellow passengers, making it very cost-effective.
You can take advantage of HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes, so you won't have to sit in traffic and can spend more time at the game
A charter bus is eco-friendly — When you ride together, it reduces the number of private vehicles on the road, lowering emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Charter Bus Rentals for Sporting Events

What is the best charter bus for our group?

That depends on a number of factors—how many people are traveling, how long you'll be on the road, what you'll be bringing or taking home, whether any of your attendees have special needs. At US Coachways, we'll carefully consider the details of your trip and work closely with our extensive network of vendors to find the coach that's right for you. If you're traveling with a small-to-midsized group, we recommend the mini-bus, with seating for 24 to 35 passengers and ample space for souvenirs and other personal items. If you're taking a big cheering section, the full-sized bus is a great option, with accommodations for up to 57. Bring as many fans as you want, though—multiple bus rentals are always an option.

How much will a charter bus cost?

The total price for a charter bus varies, based on:

How many people you'll have in your group—that determines the size and number of buses you'll need.
When and where you'll be traveling—The cost of a charter bus depends, to some degree, on supply and demand. There's typically a greater demand for charter buses in New York and other Northern locations in the summer than in January or February. If you're headed to a game in Boston in July, it may be more expensive than a similar trip in December.
The day of the week—Charter buses generally cost more on Friday, Saturday and Sunday than on other days of the week.
The amenities you'll need—Most charter buses come with Wifi, DVD players, stereo, PA systems and charging ports as standard features. You may pay extra for some conveniences, such as on-board bathrooms.
How long you'll be gone—If you're making the entire trip in a day, you'll typically be charged either by the mile or by the hour (with a minimum charge). If you stay overnight somewhere, you'll customarily pay by the day, and will also be required to pay for lodging for your driver.
Any tolls, permits and fees incurred—You will be billed for all these costs. That includes any costs associated with parking at the game.
