Explore The Tempe Charter Bus & Party Bus Amenities
Not every Tempe group trip needs the same ride — and the network has vehicles matched to the full range of occasions. A 15- to 50-passenger party bus typically comes with LED lighting, a premium sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating, making it the go-to for Mill Avenue nights and bachelorette circuits through Scottsdale. A Sprinter limo or Sprinter van brings a cleaner, more understated package for executive transfers or smaller wedding parties, with leather seating, USB charging, and tinted privacy windows.
Charter buses offer overhead storage, onboard restrooms, climate control, and undercarriage luggage bays — the right call for longer hauls up to Sedona or multi-stop corporate shuttle programs across the Phoenix metro.

More Choices on Tempe Party Buses, One Search
Tempe has its own particular brand of transportation chaos — Sky Harbor is six minutes from Mill Avenue in a car and 45 minutes in post-game traffic on the I-10, ASU home games turn Dorsey Lane and Rural Road into standstill corridors, and finding a single rideshare large enough for 20 people on a Saturday night in Old Town Scottsdale is essentially impossible. Partybusesscottsdale.com exists to make group transportation in the East Valley a solved problem.
The reason it works so well is the network. Because this is a comparison site and not a single-fleet operator, you're never boxed into whatever one company happens to have available on your date. The network includes party buses, minibuses, Sprinter vans, Sprinter limos, and full-size charter buses across a wide range of price points, so you can match the right vehicle to the right trip instead of compromising.
One quick form or one call to 602-338-9084 and you'll see available options with pricing for your date — no account, no obligation, no runaround. For groups planning around a Sun Devils game, a Scottsdale bachelorette weekend, or a corporate shuttle between Tempe and the downtown Phoenix corridor, that kind of instant side-by-side comparison makes all the difference.
Tempe Party Bus & Charter Bus Services
From airport transfers and Sun Devils game day shuttles to wedding shuttles, bachelorette nights, concerts, corporate events, and prom — there's a vehicle in the network for every Tempe occasion. Call 602-338-9084 to find the right fit for your group!

Tempe Airport Shuttles & Transportation
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) (3400 E Sky Harbor Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85034) sits just 2.5 miles west of the Tempe city center — close enough that the drive looks simple on a map and complicated enough on a busy Friday afternoon that 20 people with luggage trying to coordinate a rideshare caravan will quickly discover otherwise. Sky Harbor's Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 each have designated commercial vehicle staging areas; Terminal 4 uses the West Curb of the Arrivals Level for commercial pick-up, and Terminal 3 commercial vehicles use the North Curb. The critical workflow: assemble your full group inside with bags in hand before anyone calls for the bus — Sky Harbor enforces active-loading rules strictly, and a bus circling on a busy afternoon costs everyone time.
Review Sky Harbor's official ground transportation page before your travel date for current staging and curb assignments. A Tempe airport charter bus handles the run from your hotel block or venue to the terminal without splitting the group or juggling multiple trips — call 602-338-9084 to set one up!

Tempe Bachelor & Bachelorette Transportation
The Scottsdale–Tempe corridor is one of the most popular bachelorette destinations in the country, and for good reason: within a 10-mile stretch you've got Mill Avenue's patio bars, Old Town Scottsdale's nightlife circuit, and rooftop options across both cities well into the early morning. The problem most out-of-town groups hit is underestimating Old Town Scottsdale's geography — Saddlebag Trail, Scottsdale Road, and Camelback Road all converge near the highest-density bar blocks, and coordinating five rideshares for a group of 20 at 1am on a Saturday is a recipe for half the group waiting 40 minutes in the wrong pickup zone. A Tempe bachelorette party bus solves that entirely.
The bus moves on your schedule — starting on Mill Avenue, looping through Old Town, and ending at your Scottsdale resort without a single rideshare app involved. Party buses in the 15- to 50-passenger range come with LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, flat-panel TVs, and onboard bar setups, so the night starts the moment the group boards — not when you finally find a table. Call 602-338-9084 to check weekend availability!

Tempe Birthday, Sweet 16, & Quinceañera Party Bus Rentals
A party bus arrival is one of the most memorable ways to pull up to a Sweet 16 or quinceañera in the East Valley — and with venues like Tempe History Museum event space (809 E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ 85282) and private banquet halls scattered across Mesa and Chandler, there's no shortage of destinations that look great rolling up in a group vehicle. For milestone adult birthdays, a night starting on Mill Avenue and ending at a rooftop bar in Scottsdale is a natural Tempe-area itinerary — and a Tempe birthday party bus rental keeps the whole group together across every stop without anyone splitting off to find parking. Party buses in 15- to 40-passenger sizes can be matched to almost any group, and the wraparound seating and sound system mean the party is already underway on the ride over.
Use the quick online form or call 602-338-9084 to check availability for your date!

Tempe Concert Transportation & Shuttles
The two biggest concert venues within easy striking distance of Tempe are Arizona Financial Theatre (400 W Washington St, Phoenix, AZ 85003) and Footprint Center (201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) downtown, plus State Farm Stadium in Glendale for stadium-level touring acts. Arizona Financial Theatre is a 5,000-seat indoor room on Washington Street in the heart of downtown Phoenix — street parking in the surrounding blocks fills well before doors, and the nearest garages run $20–$35 on show nights. A Tempe concert bus rental drops your group curbside on Washington, then picks everyone up at the agreed time so nobody is standing on a corner waiting for surge-priced rideshares after a 10pm set.
For ASU events on campus, Gammage Auditorium (1200 S Forest Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281) is another frequent stop — a 3,000-seat venue where parking on the ASU campus on event nights is permit-enforced and pay lots fill fast. A minibus from your hotel or neighborhood to Gammage and back costs far less per person than multiple rideshares and keeps the whole group together from first song to last. Call 602-338-9084 to check availability!

Tempe Corporate Event Transportation
Tempe is home to a dense corporate corridor along the Tempe Town Lake waterfront and the Rio Salado Parkway, with major employers like State Farm, Lumber Liquidators, and LifeLock operating large campuses in the area. The 1 East Washington corridor into downtown Phoenix — about 8 miles from central Tempe — carries heavy executive traffic during commute windows, and employee shuttle programs that rely on personal vehicles and parking reimbursements quickly become expensive line items. A Tempe corporate event charter bus replaces that friction with a single scheduled run: employees board at one location, arrive together, and skip the I-10 and SR-60 merge that reliably backs up between 7:30 and 9am.
For conference groups heading to the Tempe Center for the Arts (700 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281) or shuttling between satellite offices and the Phoenix Convention Center (100 N 3rd St, Phoenix, AZ 85004), a minibus or full charter bus keeps the schedule tight without asking anyone to navigate downtown Phoenix parking on their own. Call 602-338-9084 to discuss multi-day corporate shuttle packages!

Tempe Private Event Transportation Services
Some of Tempe's biggest annual crowd draws happen right around Tempe Town Lake — Tempe Music Festival and the Tempe Festival of the Arts each draw tens of thousands of visitors to the Rio Salado Parkway corridor, and during those weekends the Mill Avenue bridge area backs up significantly as pedestrian traffic and vehicle traffic compete for the same space. For private groups attending either event or organizing a post-event gathering at a nearby restaurant or event space, a Tempe private event bus rental moves your group in one vehicle — dropped right at the Festival entry points before the crowds peak — rather than arriving in waves across 45 minutes. Family reunions hitting multiple East Valley stops in a single day, church groups shuttling to and from a Tempe venue, and non-profit galas at the Tempe Center for the Arts (700 W Rio Salado Pkwy) are all natural fits for a charter bus or minibus.
Call 602-338-9084 to put together a custom package!

Tempe Homecoming & Prom Party Bus Rentals
Prom season across the Tempe-area high school calendar runs from late April through mid-May, and for prom: book by January or expect limited availability and higher rates. McClintock High School, Tempe High School, and Marcos de Niza serve large graduating classes, and demand for party buses in the 20- to 40-passenger range concentrates into a tight 5-week window across Maricopa County. A Tempe prom party bus rental booked in December or January will give your group the most vehicle options at the best pricing — waiting until March typically means paying a premium or settling for whatever's left.
The comparison tool at Partybusesscottsdale.com makes it easy to see what's available for your prom night, compare vehicle types side by side, and lock in your date without calling around. Call 602-338-9084 any time to get started — the sooner, the better!

Tempe School Event & Field Trip Transportation
School groups in Tempe have no shortage of field trip destinations within a short charter bus ride — Arizona Science Center (600 E Washington St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) is about 8 miles up the I-10 and draws student groups from across Maricopa County year-round. The Heard Museum (2301 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004) is a 20-minute drive and a genuine curriculum complement for Arizona history and Native culture units. For longer trips, the Lost Dutchman State Park near Apache Junction is about 35 miles east.
A Tempe school event charter bus keeps the logistics clean on all of these runs — overhead bins hold lunchboxes and backpacks, and select vehicles with onboard restrooms eliminate the mid-trip stop requests that derail a school day. ADA-accessible buses are available through the network; just mention it when requesting your quote. For large school events on the ASU campus, bus drop-off and pickup on Apache Boulevard is typically the most direct approach — confirm with the venue before your visit.
Call 602-338-9084 to get started!

Tempe Sporting Event Transportation
ASU Sun Devils football at Mountain America Stadium (500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85281) is the centerpiece of Tempe game-day transportation — a 53,000-seat stadium with a stadium district that shuts down surrounding streets and overloads the Dorsey Lane and College Avenue approach corridors well before kickoff. Rideshare pickup after games is designated to a cell phone lot on Rural Road, and the post-game queue routinely stretches 30–45 minutes. A Tempe sporting event charter bus drops your group on Veterans Way steps from the stadium gates and picks everyone up at a pre-arranged spot when the final whistle blows — no lottery for a rideshare pickup, no walking from a remote lot in 100-degree September heat.
For Phoenix Suns games at Footprint Center (201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) or Arizona Coyotes and Cardinals games further out, a charter bus or minibus moves everyone together without the I-10 parking math. Check the official Mountain America Stadium parking and transportation page before game day to confirm current lot assignments and approach road closures. Call 602-338-9084 to set up your game-day bus!

Tempe Wedding Transportation & Shuttle Service
Tempe Town Lake is one of the most popular outdoor wedding settings in the entire Phoenix metro, and venues like the Tempe Center for the Arts (700 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281) host receptions for hundreds of guests at a time in a space where the nearest hotel blocks are a mile and a half away on Scottsdale Road. Asking wedding guests to park, navigate Rio Salado in the dark after a reception, and then find their hotels on their own is a plan that creates a post-event scramble. A Tempe wedding shuttle bus runs a clean loop between your hotel room block and the venue all evening — staged departures every 30–45 minutes so guests can leave when they're ready without anyone stranding anyone else.
For smaller bridal parties, a 14-passenger Sprinter limo covers the pre-ceremony pickup circuit in style. The Andaz Scottsdale and Tempe Mission Palms are both common hotel blocks for Tempe-area weddings; confirming pickup staging with the hotel's loading zone coordinator before the weekend keeps everything smooth. Call 602-338-9084 to build a wedding day transportation plan!

Tempe Winery Tour & Pub Crawl Transportation
Arizona's wine country is closer than most Tempe visitors realize — the Verde Valley wine corridor near Cottonwood and Jerome is about 90 miles north on the I-17, putting world-class tasting rooms like Pillsbury Wine Company (1012 Main St, Cottonwood, AZ 86326) and Page Springs Cellars (1500 N Page Springs Rd, Cornville, AZ 86325) well within day-trip range for a Tempe group. A Tempe winery tour bus rental makes the Verde Valley run practical in a way driving yourself never quite is — the I-17 climb through Black Canyon is gorgeous and the single-lane roads near Cornville do not forgive inattention. Closer to home, Tempe's Mill Avenue and the nearby McClintock neighborhood have a solid craft beer circuit with stops like Four Peaks Brewing Company (1340 E 8th St, Tempe, AZ 85281) as an anchor.
A minibus handles a Mill Ave-to-Scottsdale pub crawl itinerary cleanly — dropping the group at each stop and staging nearby while everyone enjoys a round. Call 602-338-9084 to compare options for your tour!

How much does a party bus cost in Tempe?
Tempe party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, the date, and how many hours you need. Planning ranges: a minibus runs approximately $200–$275 per hour on weekends; a 25-passenger party bus runs roughly $275–$375 per hour on weekends; a 56-passenger charter bus runs around $200–$350 per hour. These are planning estimates — your rate moves with the date, demand, and vehicle.
Fill out the quick form or call 602-338-9084 and you'll have a quote for your exact trip in about a minute. The party bus prices page has a full breakdown by vehicle type.
What's the best way to get from Tempe to Old Town Scottsdale for a group night out?
Old Town Scottsdale is roughly 7 miles northeast of Mill Avenue — a 15-minute drive in normal traffic and considerably longer on a Friday or Saturday night when Scottsdale Road between the 202 and Camelback backs up. Parking in Old Town on a weekend night runs $15–$25 in private lots and fills by 9pm. A party bus picks your group up from one address in Tempe, drops everyone in Old Town, and picks everyone back up when the night wraps — one flat rate, no parking math, no coordination headaches.
For groups of 15–30, a minibus or mid-size party bus is typically the right fit for this run. Call 602-338-9084 to check what's available for your weekend!
Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at Mountain America Stadium for an ASU game?
Mountain America Stadium's primary commercial vehicle approach is along Veterans Way on the north side of the stadium. The official ASU parking and transportation page outlines event-specific lot assignments and road closures — Dorsey Lane, College Avenue, and Rural Road all see significant restrictions on home game days, and closure schedules vary by game. Check that page before your visit to confirm the current approach route for your specific event date.
A charter bus deposits your group right at the stadium perimeter while everyone else is stuck circling for parking on University Drive.
Can a charter bus do a round trip between Tempe and Sedona in one day?
Yes — Sedona is about 110 miles north of Tempe via the I-17, typically a 1.75 to 2.25 hour drive depending on traffic through the Cordes Junction interchange and the AZ-179 approach into Sedona's Village of Oak Creek. A full-day charter bus rental covers the round trip comfortably and makes the most sense for wine groups doing the Verde Valley wine trail, corporate team-building retreats at Sedona area resorts, or hiking groups that want to arrive together at the trailhead. Daily charter bus rates start around $1,350 and scale up with vehicle size.
Call 602-338-9084 to put together a package for your Sedona day trip!
What airport does a Tempe group bus typically serve?
Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX) is the primary airport for Tempe-area groups — it's 2.5 miles west and handles the vast majority of arrivals and departures for East Valley travelers. Sky Harbor airport bus rentals are a common request for conference groups, sports teams, and wedding parties with guests arriving across multiple flights. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) in Mesa — about 20 miles southeast — is a secondary option worth considering for groups whose guests are flying Southwest or Allegiant.
A charter bus covers either airport run cleanly. Call 602-338-9084 for routing help!
How far in advance should I book a party bus in Tempe?
For most events, booking 4–8 weeks out gives you solid selection and reasonable pricing. For high-demand windows — ASU home football Saturdays (September through November), prom season (late April through mid-May), New Year's Eve, and spring break weekends in March — booking 3–6 months ahead is the smarter move. Old Town Scottsdale bachelorette weekends in particular book up fast on Saturday nights from February through May.
The earlier you call, the more vehicle options you'll have at better rates. Call 602-338-9084 the moment your date is confirmed!
Popular Tempe Party Bus Destinations
Tempe sits at the crossroads of some of the most visited destinations in the entire Phoenix metro — from the ASU campus and Town Lake waterfront to concert venues, sporting stadiums, and craft brewery trails. Here are six popular group destinations where a bus makes the biggest difference.

Mountain America Stadium
Mountain America Stadium (500 E Veterans Way, Tempe, AZ 85281) is home to the Arizona State Sun Devils and seats 53,000 fans — making it the single largest game-day traffic generator in the Tempe city limits. On packed home Saturdays, Veterans Way and the Dorsey Lane approach both see lane closures well before kickoff, and the stadium-adjacent surface lots require advance permit purchases. The post-game rideshare queue on Rural Road regularly stretches past 40 minutes, and walkers from remote permit lots face a 20-minute trek across campus in Arizona heat.
A charter bus drops your tailgate group right on Veterans Way near the stadium entry gates and picks everyone up at the agreed spot after the final whistle. Check the official stadium transportation page before your game date for current lot closures and road restriction details. Phone: (480) 965-2381

Four Peaks Brewing Company
Four Peaks Brewing Company (1340 E 8th St, Tempe, AZ 85281) is the anchor of Tempe's craft beer scene — a 50,000-square-foot brewpub in a converted 1890s creamery building, pouring flagship beers like Kilt Lifter Scottish Ale and Sunbru Kölsch alongside a full kitchen menu. It's also a short walk from the ASU campus, which means weekend nights and post-game crowds can push wait times past an hour at the bar. Four Peaks has on-site parking but it fills fast on big nights, and the surrounding neighborhood streets are residential with enforced permit zones.
A minibus or party bus parked off 8th Street while your group settles in for a round — and then loops to the next stop on a Mill Avenue crawl — is far simpler than reshuffling cars at every destination. Call 602-338-9084 to compare minibus options for a Tempe brewery night. Phone: (480) 303-9967

Tempe Center for the Arts
The Tempe Center for the Arts (700 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281) sits directly on the southern shore of Tempe Town Lake and hosts performing arts productions, private receptions, and corporate events in a 17,500-square-foot facility. The venue's own parking lot is relatively modest for larger events, and Rio Salado Parkway's single-direction flow after dark catches first-time visitors by surprise — arriving from Scottsdale Road, you'll loop under the Mill Avenue bridge before finding the venue entrance. Wedding receptions, nonprofit galas, and conference dinners here often draw guests from hotel blocks along Scottsdale Road and Tempe's University Drive corridor, making a shuttle circuit the most sensible logistics call.
A minibus running timed departures from your hotel block to the venue entrance handles 30–40 guests per loop without anyone navigating Rio Salado on their own. Phone: (480) 350-2822

Arizona State University Campus
The ASU Tempe campus spans over 700 acres with multiple distinct districts — the main campus core near Palm Walk, the athletic district anchored by Mountain America Stadium, and the arts campus anchored by Gammage Auditorium (1200 S Forest Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281). Parking on campus for public events runs through ASU's permit system, and day-of surface lots near Gammage consistently fill on performance nights. For touring Broadway productions and major concert events, the post-show pedestrian load on Forest Avenue and Mill Avenue creates a foot-traffic and vehicle conflict that backs up surrounding surface streets for 20–30 minutes after curtain.
A Tempe charter bus rental drops your group at Gammage's designated bus lane on Forest Avenue and picks everyone up curbside when the show lets out — bypassing both the permit lot scramble and the post-show pedestrian chaos entirely. Review ASU Parking and Transit Services for current event parking information before your visit. Phone: (480) 965-6124

Talking Stick Resort Arena District (Scottsdale Road Corridor)
The 2-mile stretch of Scottsdale Road between Old Town and the Talking Stick Resort area (9800 E Talking Stick Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85256) is the highest-concentration nightlife and entertainment corridor in the East Valley — hosting concerts at Talking Stick Resort's amphitheater, casino events, and Old Town bar circuits within the same radius. This corridor reliably backs up on weekend nights from 9pm onward, and the casino's surface lots fill early for major headliner events. For Tempe-based groups making the run up Scottsdale Road to Talking Stick, a party bus with 20–40 passengers eliminates the distributed parking problem and keeps the group moving between stops in the Old Town corridor and the resort without splitting into separate vehicles.
Saturday-night availability in this corridor books fast during spring and fall high season — call 602-338-9084 well before your date. Phone: (480) 850-7777

iFLY Indoor Skydiving Tempe & surrounding Mill Avenue District
Mill Avenue District (Mill Ave between University Dr and Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281) is Tempe's walkable entertainment backbone — patio bars, restaurants, live music venues, and access to Tempe Town Lake's waterfront walking path all within a 10-block stretch. The Mill Avenue Bridge at night is a genuine Tempe landmark. On game days and festival weekends, Mill Avenue becomes entirely pedestrian-heavy from Apache Boulevard south, and vehicle access from the Tempe Town Lake parking structures on the west side is limited.
Groups doing a birthday or bachelorette night on Mill typically piece together multiple rideshares because no single rideshare vehicle can carry 15+ people — and post-midnight Tempe surge pricing on a Saturday in March or April can run $40–$60 per car just to get back to a hotel two miles away. A party bus stages off nearby parking and keeps the group on Mill Avenue until everyone's ready to call it — no per-person math, no surge, no stragglers. Call 602-338-9084 to compare party buses available for your Mill Avenue night!
Address: Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281
