A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Spring Training in the East Valley: Catch the Cactus League
For baseball fans, there is no time of year quite like March in Arizona. The Cactus League Spring Training season brings 15 Major League Baseball teams to the Valley, and Gilbert is perfectly situated right in the heart of the action. While Gilbert doesn't host a stadium within its immediate city limits, it borders Mesa, which is home to two of the most popular venues in the league. Sloan Park (2330 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Mesa, AZ 85201), the spring home of the Chicago Cubs, is just a short drive away. Thousands of fans flock here to enjoy the sunshine and the game, often making traffic and parking a significant challenge. By renting a charter bus, your group can get dropped off right near the entrance, bypassing the long walks from overflow parking lots.
Another nearby gem is Hohokam Stadium (1235 N Center St, Mesa, AZ 85201), home to the Oakland Athletics. Whether you are organizing a corporate outing, a family reunion centered around baseball, or a fan club trip, Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert has the fleet to accommodate you. Our buses feature ample storage for sunscreen, hats, and souvenirs, as well as climate-controlled cabins that provide a welcome respite from the afternoon sun. We can create a custom itinerary that allows you to catch an early game in Mesa and perhaps a night game at another stadium in Scottsdale, giving you the ultimate double-header experience without anyone needing to worry about driving or navigating unfamiliar streets.
Cheer on the Diamondbacks and Suns in Downtown Phoenix
Gilbert offers a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere, but when you are ready for the roar of a professional arena, Downtown Phoenix is just a 30-minute ride away via the US-60 West. Chase Field (401 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004), home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Footprint Center (201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004), home of the Phoenix Suns and Mercury, are the epicenters of Arizona professional sports. Driving multiple cars from Gilbert to downtown Phoenix, paying for separate parking spots in expensive garages, and trying to meet up at a crowded gate can dampen the team spirit. A private bus rental keeps the energy high from the moment you leave Gilbert until you return home.
When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert, you can turn the commute into a pre-game party. Our buses can come equipped with flat-screen TVs and PA systems, allowing you to watch hype videos, play trivia, or blast your team's anthem as you approach the city skyline. We can arrange for a drop-off near the venue's designated charter bus zones, so you are steps away from the action. After the final buzzer or the last out, your driver will be waiting at a pre-arranged location, ready to whisk you away from the post-game gridlock comfortably. This is the VIP treatment your group deserves, transforming a standard game day into an unforgettable event.
The Trek to Glendale: Cardinals Football Without the Hassle
Every Sunday during football season, the pilgrimage from the East Valley to the West Valley begins. State Farm Stadium (1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305) is home to the Arizona Cardinals and hosts some of the biggest events in the world, including the Fiesta Bowl and the Super Bowl. However, for residents of Gilbert, this trek involves crossing the entire metro area, often facing heavy traffic on the I-10. This drive can take over an hour each way on game days. Why subject your friends and family to that stress behind the wheel? With a 56-passenger motorcoach from Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert, the drive becomes an opportunity to socialize and relax.
Our large charter buses are perfect for tailgating groups. With massive undercarriage storage bays, you can easily pack coolers, folding chairs, cornhole boards, and even portable grills. Once you arrive at the stadium, you can set up your tailgate immediately without waiting for the rest of your caravan to find parking. If your group plans on enjoying a few beers during the tailgate, having a driver ensures that everyone has a comfortable ride home. We handle the navigation through the complex stadium traffic patterns so you can focus on cheering for the home team. Whether it’s a regular-season matchup or a major bowl game, we are your reliable connection to the gridiron.
Local Youth Sports: Tournaments at Cactus Yards and Regional Park
Gilbert is renowned for its exceptional youth sports facilities, drawing teams from across the Southwest for tournaments and championships. One of the standout venues is Cactus Yards (4536 E Elliot Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85234), a premier sports complex featuring eight ballfields modeled after famous major league stadiums like Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. If you are a coach or team manager bringing a squad to Gilbert for a tournament, or a local team hosting visitors, a charter bus rental provides the ultimate team-building environment. Instead of players arriving at different times or getting lost, the whole team arrives together, focused and ready to play.
Beyond baseball, Gilbert Regional Park (3005 E Queen Creek Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85298) offers extensive multi-use fields for soccer, football, and pickleball courts. Transporting a team requires space for gear bags, uniforms, and equipment. Our full-size charter buses offer overhead bins and under-bus storage compartments, ensuring the aisleways remain clear and players can stretch out in reclining seats. We also offer minibus rentals for smaller teams or parent groups who want to travel together to support their athletes. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert handle the logistics of tournament travel so coaches can focus on strategy and parents can focus on cheering.
Golf Outings and Topgolf Adventures
In Arizona, golf is practically a professional sport for everyone, and Gilbert is home to some fantastic courses that cater to groups. Whether you are planning a corporate outing, a bachelor party, or a leisurely weekend with friends, a charter bus is the best way to move your group from the fairway to the clubhouse. Courses like Greenfield Lakes Golf Course (2484 E Warner Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85296) and Kokopelli Golf Club (1800 W Guadalupe Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85233) offer challenging play and beautiful scenery. Our buses have ample room for golf bags, ensuring your clubs are transported safely and securely.
If you prefer a more social golf experience, Topgolf (1689 S Santan Village Pkwy, Gilbert, AZ 85295) is a massive draw for groups in Gilbert. Located near the SanTan Village shopping center, this venue combines golf with food, drinks, and music. Renting a party bus or minibus for a Topgolf outing allows your group to enjoy the full bar service without worrying about driving home. We can pick you up from your office, hotel, or home and provide a seamless shuttle service to the front door. It’s the perfect way to cap off a corporate retreat or celebrate a birthday with a sporty twist.
Collegiate Athletics: The Sun Devil Connection
Gilbert is deep in Sun Devil territory, located just a short drive from the main campus of Arizona State University in Tempe. On game days, Mountain America Stadium (500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85287) comes alive with maroon and gold. Whether you are an alumni group engaging in homecoming festivities or a student organization heading to the rivalry game, Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert offers the most spirited ride in town. The close proximity of Gilbert to Tempe makes a bus rental an incredibly affordable option per person when splitting the cost among a large group.
We also service groups traveling for other collegiate sports, such as basketball at Desert Financial Arena or hockey at Mullett Arena. If your group is looking to support the Grand Canyon University Antelopes in Phoenix or make the drive down to Tucson to see the University of Arizona Wildcats, we offer long-distance charter services as well. Our buses are equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing students and alumni to post photos, check scores, and stay connected while on the road. Show your school pride by arriving in a dedicated charter bus that keeps your group united.
The 19th Hole: Post-Game Dining in the Heritage District
No sports outing is complete without a great meal to celebrate the victory or debrief the loss. Gilbert’s historic downtown, known as the Heritage District, has transformed into one of the hottest dining destinations in the entire Phoenix metro area. After a long day at the stadium or the golf course, have your charter bus driver drop your group off here to explore a dense concentration of restaurants and patios. Places like Joe's Real BBQ (301 N Gilbert Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85234) offer casual, group-friendly dining with iconic local flavor, while O.H.S.O. Brewery + Distillery (335 N Gilbert Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85234) provides a lively atmosphere with a huge dog-friendly patio and dozens of beers on tap.
Parking in the Heritage District can be scarce on weekends and evenings due to its popularity. With a bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert, you avoid the headache of circling for spots or parking blocks away. Your driver can drop you right on Gilbert Road and pick you up when you are ready to call it a night. Whether you are craving gourmet burgers, tacos, or craft cocktails, the Heritage District is the perfect post-game destination, and we are the perfect way to get there comfortably.

Do your buses have storage for sports equipment?
Absolutely! Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays that are perfect for large items like golf clubs, football pads, baseball bat bags, and coolers. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and purses. If you are renting a minibus, storage space may be more limited, so please let our reservation specialists know exactly what kind of gear you are bringing so we can match you with the correct vehicle size.
How far in advance should we book for Spring Training?
Spring Training is one of the busiest travel seasons in Arizona, with visitors coming from all over the country. We strongly recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you plan to travel during the March weekends. Booking early ensures that you lock in the best rates and have the widest selection of vehicles available. However, if you are planning a last-minute trip, give us a call at 480-716-1515, and we will do our absolute best to accommodate your group.
Can you shuttle us between multiple venues in one day?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of renting a private charter bus is the flexibility to create your own itinerary. If you want to watch a morning game at Sloan Park in Mesa and then head to Downtown Phoenix for a Suns game in the evening, your driver will follow your specific schedule. You are not tied to any pre-set routes. Just provide us with your desired itinerary when you book, and we will handle the logistics to ensure you get everywhere on time.
