Get to Buccaneers and Lightning Games Without the Parking Nightmare
For quick and easy game-day transportation to Raymond James Stadium (4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607), a charter bus is the smartest move your group can make. Lots open three hours before Buccaneers games, prepaid parking is required, and rideshare pickup is all the way in Lot 4 off N Himes Ave — a long walk after a long game. One charter bus keeps everyone together, skips the parking scramble entirely, and gets your group home when the final whistle blows.
For Lightning games at Amalie Arena (401 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602), buses drop at the Channelside Drive curbside — steps from the entrance — while rideshare riders get sent to a separate zone on Meridian Ave. Compare buses and pricing for your game day in seconds using the online quote tool!
Concert Buses to MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre and Beyond
With one form, you can compare buses for concerts at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre (4802 US-301 N, Tampa, FL 33610) and lock in your transportation before the show sells out. The Amphitheatre holds 19,000 fans and sits off US-301 N, where main parking lots enforce no early exit during shows — meaning every car is boxed in until the crowd clears. A charter bus or party bus stages off US-301 and picks your group up clean when the encore ends, while everyone else waits in the lot.
Party buses are especially popular for concert nights — the built-in bar, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound system mean the celebration starts on the ride over, not when you finally find a parking spot. Find and compare concert buses for your Tampa show in under 30 seconds!
Gasparilla, the Florida State Fair, and Tampa's Biggest Events
Because Tampa's biggest events fill the bus market fast, booking early is the single best thing you can do for your group. Gasparilla Pirate Festival takes over Bayshore Boulevard in late January or early February, closing major roads and drawing enormous numbers of people to the waterfront. The Florida State Fair runs February 4 through 15, 2027 at the Florida State Fairgrounds (4800 US-301 N, Tampa, FL 33610).
New York Yankees Spring Training fills Steinbrenner Field from February through March. Buccaneers home games run September through January. Prom season hits Hillsborough County schools hard in April and May.
On any of those dates, available buses go fast and prices reflect the demand. Book three to six months out for the best selection — call 813-694-7803 right now to hold your date!
For 2027, Gasparilla Pirate Fest lands on Saturday, January 30, while Children's Gasparilla is Saturday, January 23; the city posts the parade closures and alternate routes as the event approaches. Your bus keeps the waterfront trip together, but the exact closure windows decide where you can unload and where pickup works after the parade.
Cruise Shuttles to Port of Tampa Bay and Ybor City Night-Out Buses
Fill out one form and find buses for two of Tampa's most popular group transportation needs: cruise transfers and Ybor City nights out. Port of Tampa Bay (1101 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602) handles Carnival sailings out of Terminals 2 and 3, with charter buses dropping curbside at your terminal's passenger zone — confirm your terminal with the cruise line before embarkation morning, since each terminal has its own approach road. For Ybor City, buses drop along 7th Avenue (Avenida República de Cuba) near 19th Street, and the party starts the moment your group boards.
Whether you're headed to the port at 7am or to Crowbar at 10pm, Tampacoachbuscompany.com makes it easy to find the right bus for your Tampa night or your cruise morning. Compare options in seconds using the online tool!
Busch Gardens Group Transportation and USF Campus Shuttles
You can count on Tampacoachbuscompany.com to find buses for every kind of Tampa event — including theme park days at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (10165 N McKinley Dr, Tampa, FL 33612) and campus shuttles for University of South Florida events and graduation ceremonies at Amalie Arena. Busch Gardens has a dedicated motorcoach lot off McKinley Dr, and advance arrangements are recommended for large groups — just mention your headcount and date when you request your quote and the network handles the rest. For USF shuttles between the Tampa campus and downtown venues, a 15- to 35-passenger minibus keeps the group together without the parking headaches on Fowler Avenue.
Compare buses for theme park trips, campus events, and every other Tampa occasion in under 30 seconds. Call 813-694-7803 or use the online quote tool to get started!
Tour buses and school buses park free at Busch Gardens, and a designated drop-off and pickup area is located near the park entrance; the Preferred Parking lot has a 10'8" clearance. Your bus can unload close to the entrance without sending everyone through the general parking area; the full details are on the Busch Gardens Tampa Bay parking and transportation FAQ.

Charter buses unload along the N Dale Mabry Highway service roads adjacent to Raymond James Stadium. For Buccaneers games, buses park in Publix Lot 14 through the entrance off MLK Blvd; for most other events, buses use Lot 8 off Himes Ave, while taxi, bus, and limo staging is at Steinbrenner Field. Oversized vehicle parking is available in designated lots — advance purchase is required, and day-of parking is not guaranteed.
Lots open three hours before Buccaneers games. Confirm current lot assignments and road closure schedules on the Raymond James Stadium parking page before your visit, since assignments shift by event.
Charter buses drop off on Channelside Drive on the north side of Amalie Arena, steps from the main entrance. Rideshare pickup is in a separate designated zone on Meridian Avenue — a different curb entirely, and a longer walk. Buses can stage along Channelside Drive or in nearby surface lots while your group is inside.
Confirm current access details on the Amalie Arena directions and parking page before your event.
Book three to six months out for most Tampa events, and stretch that to six months or more for Gasparilla (late January/early February), the Florida State Fair (February 4–15, 2027), Yankees Spring Training (February–March), Buccaneers home games (September–January at Raymond James Stadium), and prom season across Hillsborough County schools (April–May). These dates fill the bus market across the entire Bay Area fast. Waiting until the last minute means higher rates and fewer vehicles to choose from — call 813-694-7803 now to lock in your date!
Charter buses drop curbside at the passenger drop-off zone for your specific terminal at Port of Tampa Bay. Carnival sails from Terminals 2 and 3; other cruise lines use Terminal 6. Each terminal has its own approach road inside the port, so confirm your terminal with your cruise line before embarkation morning.
Port garage parking runs $1,150–$2,950 per day — a cost not included in your bus quote — which is one more reason a charter bus transfer beats driving and parking at the port.
Absolutely. The network of transportation companies serving Tampa covers the entire Bay Area, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, and every city across Pinellas County. The Howard Frankland Bridge (I-275) and Gandy Bridge (US-92) are the two main crossings — both notorious for backups during peak hours and on event days.
One bus keeps your whole group together across the bridge instead of splitting into cars and hoping everyone finds the venue. Fill out the quote form with your pickup city and destination to compare available buses for your cross-bay trip!
