A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium
There is nothing quite like an NFL Sunday in Northeast Florida. When the Jacksonville Jaguars take the field at EverBank Stadium (1 Everbank Stadium Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32202), the city transforms. The atmosphere is electric, filled with the chant of "Duuuval!" echoing from the Northbank to the Southbank. However, any seasoned Jag fan knows that the traffic on the Hart Bridge and the congestion on A. Philip Randolph Boulevard can be daunting.
When you book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville, you skip the stress of finding parking in overflowing lots. We can drop your group off within walking distance of the gates, allowing you to head straight for the Fan Entertainment Zone. If tailgating is your priority, a charter bus is the ultimate tailgating vehicle. With massive undercarriage storage bays, you can easily transport grills, tables, cornhole sets, and coolers without cramping your legroom. Once the game ends, while thousands of cars are gridlocked trying to exit the downtown area, your group can relax in reclining seats, rehydrating and recounting the game’s highlights while your driver handles the exit routes.
Minor League Fun with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp
For a more relaxed but equally exciting sporting experience, head over to 121 Financial Ballpark (301 A Philip Randolph Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32202) to see the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. As the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, the Jumbo Shrimp offer high-quality baseball with a heavy dose of family-friendly entertainment. Known as "Crustacean Nation," the fanbase is passionate, and the promotional nights—from fireworks spectaculars to Thirsty Thursdays—are legendary.
A minibus rental is the perfect transportation solution for company outings, church groups, or family reunions heading to the ballpark. The venue is located right in the heart of the Sports Complex, meaning parking can still be tricky if there are simultaneous events at the arena or stadium next door. By renting a bus, you ensure that your entire group arrives together, avoiding the "where are you parked?" text messages. Plus, you can enjoy a few hot dogs and cold beverages without worrying about who has to drive home. It’s affordable, convenient, and keeps the focus on the fun.
Ice Hockey Action with the Jacksonville Icemen
Jacksonville might be known for its sunshine, but things get icy at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena (300 A Philip Randolph Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32202) when the Jacksonville Icemen take the ice. As a proud member of the ECHL, the Icemen bring fast-paced, hard-hitting hockey to the Bold City. The arena atmosphere is loud and energetic, making it a fantastic destination for youth sports teams, school groups, and corporate team-building events.
Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville frequently partners with youth hockey teams and local schools to provide safe, reliable transportation to these games. If you are bringing a youth team, safety and accountability are paramount. Our buses allow coaches and chaperones to keep a close eye on all players in one vehicle. For adult groups, the arena is just steps away from several excellent downtown bars and restaurants, making it easy to plan a "dinner and a game" itinerary. Let your driver drop you off at a local favorite like Manifest Distilling before the puck drops, and then pick you up right outside the arena when the final horn sounds.
The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party: Florida vs. Georgia
Every year, the city of Jacksonville plays host to one of the fiercest rivalries in college football: the Florida Gators versus the Georgia Bulldogs. Known affectionately as "The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party," this event turns the area around EverBank Stadium into a sea of orange, blue, red, and black. RV City becomes a metropolis of its own, and the tailgating scene is unrivaled.
If you are planning to attend this massive event with a large group of alumni or students, a charter bus rental is practically a necessity. Hotels in Jacksonville sell out months in advance, often forcing groups to stay in nearby cities like St. Augustine or Amelia Island. Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville can provide shuttle services from these outlying areas directly to the stadium. Avoid the exorbitant surge pricing of rideshares and the impossibility of finding day-of parking. Your bus serves as your mobile headquarters, providing a secure place to store your gear and a comfortable, air-conditioned haven when you need a break from the festivities.
Tee Off at TPC Sawgrass and The Players Championship
For golf aficionados, Jacksonville is synonymous with TPC Sawgrass (110 Championship Way, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082). Home to THE PLAYERS Championship, this course features the iconic "Island Green" on the 17th hole, one of the most recognizable sights in golf. Whether you are attending the tournament in March or planning a corporate golf retreat to play the Stadium Course yourself, the experience demands a level of sophistication and comfort that only a private charter bus can provide.
We offer premium motorcoaches equipped with leather seating, WiFi, and power outlets, perfect for transporting corporate VIPs and clients from Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) to the resorts in Ponte Vedra. If you are playing the course with a large group, our buses have plenty of room for golf bags in the luggage bays, ensuring your clubs travel safely and securely. Let us handle the logistics of getting your group to the first tee time so you can focus on your swing.
College Sports and The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl
Beyond the professional leagues, Jacksonville is a hub for collegiate athletics. The city hosts the annual TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, a postseason tradition that brings thousands of visitors to the city every winter. Additionally, Jacksonville is home to the University of North Florida (UNF) Ospreys and the Jacksonville University (JU) Dolphins, offering exciting NCAA Division I action in basketball, baseball, soccer, and more.
Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville is proud to support visiting collegiate teams and university bands. We understand that athletic travel requires precision timing and specialized amenities. Our full-sized charter buses offer the legroom tall athletes need to stay limber, as well as the storage capacity for uniforms, training equipment, and instruments. We can create custom itineraries that include transfers between the hotel, practice facilities, and the game venue, ensuring your team stays on schedule and focused on the win.
Best Sports Bars and Pre-Game Spots in Jacksonville
No sports trip is complete without visiting the local watering holes and pre-game spots. Jacksonville’s sports culture extends well beyond the stadium gates. Areas like the Elbow in downtown and the expansive Daily's Place amphitheater area offer incredible options for food and drink.
When you rent a bus with us, you have the freedom to create a bar crawl or pre-game tour. Start at Intuition Ale Works (929 E Bay St, Jacksonville, FL 32202) for some local craft beer right next to the stadium, or visit Strings Sports Brewery in the Springfield district. Your charter bus driver acts as your built-in designated driver, ensuring everyone in your party can enjoy the local brews responsibly. We can shuttle your group from the bars to the game and back to your hotel, making for a seamless, safe, and incredibly fun experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jacksonville Sports Transportation
Where do charter buses park at EverBank Stadium?
Parking for charter buses and oversized vehicles at EverBank Stadium is typically located in specific lots, often Lot P or Lot J, depending on the specific event and availability. These lots require a pre-purchased parking pass, which sells out quickly for major games like the Florida-Georgia game or Jaguars games. While Charter Bus Rental Company Jacksonville does not purchase the parking pass for you, our team can guide you on where to buy it and how to coordinate with your driver. If you do not have a parking pass, your driver can drop you off at a designated drop-off zone and return to pick you up after the game.
How much storage space is there for tailgating gear?
Full-size charter buses (typically seating 56 passengers) feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for tailgating equipment. You can easily fit coolers, folding tables, chairs, small grills (must be empty of fuel), and cornhole boards. Minibuses usually have limited to no undercarriage storage, relying instead on overhead bins or vacant seats. If you plan on bringing extensive tailgating gear, we highly recommend booking a full-size motorcoach to ensure you have ample space for both your passengers and your party supplies.
Can you transport visiting teams and athletes?
Absolutely. We specialize in athletic team transportation. We regularly work with visiting university teams, high school squads, and amateur leagues. We understand the unique needs of athletic travel, including extra legroom for players and climate-controlled storage for sensitive equipment. We can arrange multi-day transportation packages that cover airport transfers, shuttles to practice fields, and transportation to and from the game venue. Let us know your team's specific requirements, and we will match you with the ideal bus.
How far in advance should I book for a Jaguars game?
For regular-season Jacksonville Jaguars games, we recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 4 months in advance. For high-demand events like the Florida-Georgia game, the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, or THE PLAYERS Championship, availability becomes scarce very quickly. For these major events, we suggest booking 6 to 9 months in advance to ensure you get the vehicle you want at a competitive price. However, we always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.
