A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the UNA Lions at Braly Stadium
In Florence, purple and gold run deep. The University of North Alabama (UNA) Lions are the heartbeat of the city, and game days at Braly Municipal Stadium (521 N Royal Ave, Florence, AL 35630) are electric. As the Lions compete in the ASUN Conference, fans flock from all over the region to support the team. Whether you are an alumni group coming back for homecoming or a student organization looking for a safe ride to the game, a charter bus rental is the best way to keep your group together.
Tailgating is a serious tradition at UNA. When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Florence, you have ample undercarriage storage for coolers, tents, folding chairs, and grills. Your driver can drop you off right near the action, allowing you to set up your tailgate spot without hauling gear across a massive parking lot. Once the game ends, you don’t have to worry about the post-game traffic exodus or finding a designated driver. Your driver will be waiting to take you to a celebratory dinner at Ricatoni’s Italian Grill (107 N Court St, Florence, AL 35630) or back to your hotel.
We also specialize in transportation for the visiting teams! If your college or university squad is coming to Florence to face the Lions, we provide comfortable, reliable transportation for players and staff. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches offer plenty of legroom for tall athletes, reclining seats for rest, and onboard WiFi so players can review game footage or study on the road. Let us handle the logistics while you handle the strategy.
Basketball and Volleyball Action at Flowers Hall
While football might be king in the South, the action inside Flowers Hall (accessed via Pine Street on the UNA Campus) is just as intense. Home to the UNA Lions basketball and volleyball teams, this venue hosts thrilling matchups throughout the year. If you are organizing a group outing for a local youth league, a church group, or a corporate team-building event to catch a basketball game, a minibus rental is the perfect solution.
Parking on a university campus can often be confusing and limited, especially when classes are in session or during big events. By booking a shuttle bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Florence, you eliminate the parking headache entirely. We can arrange a pick-up and drop-off schedule that works perfectly for your group. Your driver can drop everyone at the entrance to Flowers Hall and pick you up immediately after the final buzzer.
For visiting basketball and volleyball teams, our charter buses provide the climate-controlled environment necessary to keep athletes fresh. The Alabama heat can be unforgiving, even in the shoulder seasons, so stepping onto a cool, air-conditioned bus after a morning shootaround or a big game is a game-changer. Plus, with overhead storage for personal bags and under-bus bays for uniforms and gear, the aisles stay clear and comfortable for everyone.
High School Football under the Friday Night Lights
In Florence, Friday nights in the fall are sacred. The Florence High School Falcons draw massive crowds, and the community pride is palpable. Whether the game is at Braly Stadium or an away game in nearby Huntsville or Birmingham, Charter Bus Rental Company Florence is proud to transport the teams, the bands, and the fans. We understand that high school sports involve a lot of moving parts—from the cheerleading squad to the equipment managers—and we have the fleet diversity to handle it all.
For band directors, moving a marching band is no small feat. Instruments, uniforms, and dozens of students require serious space. Our full-size charter buses are perfect for band travel, offering massive storage bays that can accommodate tubas, drums, and flags with ease. We ensure the band arrives together and on time for warm-ups and halftime shows.
Fan clubs and booster clubs also love our services. Why drive separately to an away game in Hoover or Decatur when you can ride together? Renting a bus turns a road trip into a pep rally. You can decorate the bus with team colors, play hype music over the PA system, and build camaraderie before you even reach the stands. We help parents and supporters travel safely, ensuring everyone gets home securely after the final whistle.
World-Class Fishing Tournaments at Pickwick and Wilson Lakes
Florence isn't just about ball games; it is a world-renowned destination for fishing. Located on the banks of the Tennessee River, Florence is often called the "Smallmouth Bass Capital of the World." Tournaments at Pickwick Lake and Wilson Lake draw anglers and spectators from across the nation. Major weigh-ins and events often take place at McFarland Park (200 James M Spain Dr, Florence, AL 35630), which offers stunning views of the river and ample space for large gatherings.
If you are organizing a fishing club trip or a corporate retreat centered around a tournament, Charter Bus Rental Company Florence provides the ideal transportation solution. While we can’t tow your boats, we can certainly transport your group of anglers and spectators to and from the marina, hotels, and dinner venues. After a long day on the water, no one wants to drive. Let a driver shuttle your group to a seafood dinner at Swampers Bar and Grille (10 Hightower Pl, Florence, AL 35630) inside the Marriott Shoals to recount the "one that got away."
For large spectator events like the Bassmaster Elite Series, parking at the boat ramps and parks can reach capacity quickly. A shuttle service from a nearby parking lot or hotel ensures your group doesn't miss the weigh-in excitement. Our buses are equipped with comfortable seating and air conditioning, providing a welcome respite from the sun during multi-day tournaments.
Golfing the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at The Shoals
For those who prefer the fairway to the football field, the Shoals area is home to championship-level golf. The Shoals (990 SunBelt Pkwy, Muscle Shoals, AL 35661), part of the famous Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, features two 18-hole championship courses: Fighting Joe and The Schoolmaster. Located just across the river from Florence, these courses attract golf groups from all over the country.
Planning a golf trip for a bachelor party, a corporate outing, or a group of retirees? A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Florence is the ultimate "caddy" for your transportation needs. Golf bags are bulky and difficult to fit into standard rental cars or rideshares. Our minibuses and charter buses offer plenty of space to store clubs securely without cramping the passengers. You can enjoy a round of golf, have drinks at the clubhouse, and rely on your private driver to get you back to your hotel or out to dinner in downtown Florence comfortably.
We can also help organize multi-day golf tours. If your group wants to play The Shoals one day and then head south to other stops on the Robert Trent Jones trail in Birmingham or Huntsville, we can build a custom itinerary that follows your tee times. Relax in reclining seats and rest your back between rounds while we handle the highway driving.
Day Trips to SEC Showdowns and Pro Sports
Florence is perfectly situated for sports fans who want to catch major collegiate and professional action in neighboring cities. We regularly transport groups from Florence to Tuscaloosa to see the Alabama Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium, or to Auburn to cheer on the Tigers at Jordan-Hare Stadium. These game days are legendary, but the traffic and parking can be a nightmare. When you rent a charter bus, your driver handles the gridlock while you enjoy the pre-game festivities onboard.
Looking for professional sports? We offer easy charter bus rentals to Nashville, Tennessee, which is just over two hours away. Catch an NFL game with the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium or see the Nashville Predators hit the ice at Bridgestone Arena. We also service trips to Huntsville to see the Rocket City Trash Pandas (Minor League Baseball) at Toyota Field or the Huntsville Havoc (SPHL Hockey) at the Von Braun Center.
With a private bus rental, you can turn a simple game into a full day trip. Plan a stop for BBQ on the way, enjoy the game without worrying about parking fees, and nap comfortably on the ride back to Florence. It is the safest and most enjoyable way to experience big-league sports without the stress of big-city driving.
Team Transportation for Florence Athletes
At Charter Bus Rental Company Florence, we understand that athletic teams have specific needs. Whether you are a youth soccer club, a travel baseball team, or a collegiate swimming squad, you need reliability and space. We have worked with teams across the Shoals area to provide transportation to tournaments, training camps, and away games. We know that timing is everything—arriving late to warm-ups is not an option.
Our buses have the highest comfort standards, giving coaches and parents peace of mind. We can accommodate teams of all sizes, from a sprinter van for a small tennis squad to a fleet of 56-passenger coaches for a football team and their gear. The undercarriage storage on our large buses is perfect for keeping heavy equipment bags, bats, and balls organized and out of the way.
Comfort is key to performance. Our buses feature plush seating with plenty of legroom, allowing athletes to stretch out and prevent stiffness during travel. Many of our buses also feature power outlets and WiFi, letting student-athletes catch up on homework or relax with music before the competition. When you choose Charter Bus Rental Company Florence, you are choosing a partner in your team's success.

Frequently Asked Questions About Florence Sports Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus for a sports team in Florence?
The cost of a charter bus rental in Florence depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of the trip, the distance traveled, and the time of year. For example, a local shuttle for a high school football game might be priced by the hour, while a multi-day trip to an out-of-state tournament would be priced by the day or mile. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our reservation specialists at 256-666-1649 with your specific itinerary. We can provide a free, no-obligation quote in minutes!
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus for tailgating?
Absolutely! One of the biggest perks of renting a charter bus for sporting events is the ability to start the celebration early. You are welcome to bring food and non-alcoholic beverages on board.
Is there enough room for all our sports equipment?
Yes! Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses are designed with massive undercarriage storage bays specifically for luggage and equipment. We can easily accommodate football pads, baseball bags, golf clubs, musical instruments for bands, and coolers for tailgating. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and carry-ons. If you have an unusually large amount of gear, let us know when you call, and we can ensure you get the right vehicle for your needs.
How far in advance should we book our bus for a big game?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your schedule is finalized. For major sporting events like college football Saturdays or large tournaments, demand is high, and buses can book up months in advance. Ideally, you should try to reserve your bus 3 to 6 months ahead of time to ensure availability and get the best possible rate. However, if you have a last-minute need, don't hesitate to call us—we will always do our best to accommodate you!
Do your buses have WiFi and power outlets for the players?
Yes, many of the buses in our network come equipped with modern amenities like free WiFi and power outlets at every seat. These features are perfect for student-athletes who need to finish homework on the road, or for players who want to listen to music and relax before the game. We also offer buses with reclining seats, televisions with DVD players, and onboard restrooms. When you call to book, simply request these specific amenities, and we will match you with the perfect bus for your team's comfort.
