A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Catch Cactus League Action Near Chandler

For one month every spring, the eyes of the baseball world turn to Arizona. The Cactus League isn't just a series of exhibition games; it is a pilgrimage for fans across the country. Chandler serves as an exceptional strategic location for groups wanting to hit multiple stadiums without the chaos of staying in downtown Phoenix. When you book a charter bus rental in Chandler, you gain easy access to some of the league's most popular ballparks.

Just a short drive north, you will find Sloan Park, the spring training home of the Chicago Cubs. It’s the largest stadium in the Cactus League and offers a "Wrigleyville West" atmosphere that is best enjoyed with a group of friends. Similarly, the Los Angeles Angels play at Tempe Diablo Stadium, which offers stunning views of the surrounding buttes.

Parking at these venues can be expensive and frustrating, often involving long walks in the direct sun. By renting a private shuttle bus, your group enjoys door-to-door service. We drop you right near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the hot dogs and peanuts while your driver handles the vehicle. After the ninth inning, your air-conditioned coach awaits, ready to whisk you away to dinner or back to your hotel.

Sloan Park (Chicago Cubs): 2330 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Mesa, AZ 85201

Tempe Diablo Stadium (Los Angeles Angels): 2200 W Alameda Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282

Tee Off at Chandler’s Premier Golf Courses

If your sport of choice involves a fairway and a putter, Chandler is undeniably one of the best destinations in the Southwest. The city boasts a variety of courses that cater to all skill levels, from historic greens to modern, water-lined layouts. However, organizing a golf outing for a corporate group, a bachelor party, or a society tournament involves a lot of gear. Golf bags are bulky, and fitting four people plus clubs into a standard rideshare is nearly impossible.

Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler offers the perfect solution with spacious undercarriage storage bays. We can easily accommodate dozens of golf bags, coolers, and personal luggage, keeping the cabin clutter-free for your comfort.

Your group shouldn't miss the Ocotillo Golf Club. This 27-hole course designed by Ted Robinson, is a rarity in desert golf, featuring cascading waterfalls, colorful flora, and water hazards on nearly every hole. It is a lush, tropical alternative to the typical target golf found in Arizona. For history buffs, the San Marcos Golf Course offers a classic layout. Opened in 1913, it was the first grass golf course in Arizona and remains a local favorite for its walkability and mature trees.

Youth Sports Tournaments at Snedigar Sportsplex

Chandler is a hotbed for youth sports, and families travel from all over the Southwest to compete on our fields. The crown jewel of local athletics is undoubtedly the Snedigar Sportsplex. This massive 90-acre facility is the heartbeat of competitive sports in the city, featuring two professional-sized baseball fields, four softball fields, four soccer fields, a skate park, and a dog park.

If you are a coach or a team manager, you know the headache of coordinating a caravan of parents. Players arrive late, gear gets left in the wrong car, and the team’s focus is scattered before the warm-up even begins. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler solves these problems instantly. By traveling together, the team bonds, coaches can discuss strategy using the onboard PA system, and everyone arrives at the complex simultaneously.

Between games, the bus serves as a cool, private headquarters where players can rest out of the sun, hydrate, and recharge. We have worked with countless soccer clubs, little leagues, and travel ball teams to make tournament weekends stress-free and victorious.

Snedigar Sportsplex: 4500 S Basha Rd, Chandler, AZ 85248

Friday Night Lights: High School Football Rivalries

In Chandler, high school football isn't just a pastime; it is a cultural event. The city is home to some of the top-ranked high school football programs in the nation. The rivalry between Chandler High School and Hamilton High School, often dubbed the "Battle for Arizona Avenue," draws thousands of spectators and is frequently televised nationally. The energy in the stadium is electric, rivaling many college games.

Whether you are a booster club, a student section, or an alumni group, showing up to the big game in a charter bus makes a statement. It ensures that large groups can sit together and eliminates the nightmare of navigating packed high school parking lots. Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler can provide shuttle services from off-site parking or transport fan groups directly to the stadium gates.

Our buses are also perfect for the teams themselves. We provide reliable transport for athletes to away games across Arizona. With plenty of room for pads, helmets, and uniforms in the storage bays, players can stretch out in reclining seats and focus on the playbook.

High Octane Thrills near Chandler

For those who prefer horsepower over home runs, the area surrounding Chandler offers high-speed excitement. Just on the edge of the city limits lies the Firebird Motorsports Park (formerly Wild Horse Pass). This venue is legendary for drag racing, off-road racing, and boat racing on the adjacent lake. Events here are loud, fast, and incredibly popular.

Attending a major drag racing event often means dealing with heavy traffic and dust. A private charter bus rental elevates the experience entirely. Your group can enjoy the air-conditioned ride in, bypassing the stress of the entry queues. If you are part of a racing team or a corporate group hosting a track day, our buses serve as the perfect mobile command center or hospitality suite on wheels.

Furthermore, nearby attractions like the Radford Racing School offer high-performance driving instruction. If you are planning a bachelor party or a corporate team-building event where your group gets behind the wheel of high-performance cars, let us handle the transportation to and from the track so everyone stays comfortable and relaxed.

The Ultimate Tailgate Experience with a Charter Bus

Tailgating is an essential part of American sports culture, and in Arizona, the weather usually permits a great outdoor party. However, tailgating requires a lot of stuff: grills, coolers, chairs, tables, and tents. Trying to fit all of that into a sedan is a puzzle you don't want to solve on game day.

When you rent a full-size charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Chandler, you unlock the ultimate tailgating potential. Our buses feature massive under-floor luggage compartments that can easily swallow up all your party gear. Once you arrive at the stadium—whether it's State Farm Stadium in Glendale for a Cardinals game or a local field in Chandler—your bus provides shade and a hub for your group.

Inside the bus, the party continues. Our vehicles come equipped with premium amenities that transform travel time into fun time. Use the onboard WiFi to check fantasy scores, stream pre-game analysis on the flat-screen TVs, and keep the beverages cold. Plus, with a driver, nobody has to worry about being the designated driver. You can enjoy your cold drinks, knowing you have a comfortable ride home waiting for you.

Where to Eat and Celebrate After the Game?

After the final whistle blows, the hunger sets in. Chandler's dining scene is robust, offering plenty of spots that can accommodate large groups—provided you have the transportation to get there. Downtown Chandler is a vibrant hub of historic architecture and modern gastronomy, perfect for a post-game celebration.

SanTan Brewing Company is a local staple, offering award-winning craft beers and pub food in a lively atmosphere. It’s spacious and used to hosting crowds. For something unique, check out The Perch Pub & Brewery, which features a collection of over 50 tropical rescue birds and a rooftop bar with great views of the city.

If you are traveling with a youth team and need something family-friendly and fun, Topgolf in Gilbert (just adjacent to Chandler) is always a hit, or you can head to Dave & Buster’s at the Chandler Fashion Center. Coordinating a convoy of 15 cars to dinner is a logistical nightmare; one charter bus dropping everyone off at the front door is a luxury. We can make reservations easier by ensuring the whole group arrives at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chandler Sports Transportation

Is there enough room for all our sports equipment?

Absolutely. If you book a full-size charter bus (typically seating 56 passengers), you will have access to spacious undercarriage storage bays. These compartments are designed to hold large suitcases, meaning they can easily accommodate golf clubs, baseball bags, football pads, soccer nets, and coolers. If you are renting a smaller minibus, storage space is more limited (usually overhead racks), so be sure to specify your equipment needs with our reservation specialists when you call 480-716-1515.

How far in advance should we book our bus for Spring Training?

Spring Training (February and March) is one of the busiest travel seasons in Arizona. To ensure availability and the best pricing, we highly recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. While we can often accommodate last-minute requests, booking early guarantees you get the specific amenities and vehicle size your group requires.

Do your buses have air conditioning?

Yes, and it is a priority! We know how hot Chandler and the Phoenix metro area can get. All of our charter bus and minibus rentals come equipped with powerful, modern climate control systems to keep your group cool and comfortable, regardless of the temperature outside.

Can the bus pick us up from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport?

Yes, we specialize in airport transfers! We can arrange for your driver to meet your group at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) or Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA). We monitor flight schedules to ensure we are there when you land. Your driver will help load luggage and transport you directly to your hotel, the stadium, or your first destination in Chandler.
