A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Cheer on the Orlando Magic and Solar Bears at the Kia Center

Just a short drive north from St. Cloud lies the heart of downtown Orlando's sports scene: the Kia Center (formerly Amway Center). This state-of-the-art venue is home to the NBA’s Orlando Magic and the ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears. For fans living in or visiting St. Cloud, attending a game here is a must-do experience, but the drive into downtown Orlando during rush hour or game time can be daunting. Between the construction on I-4 and the struggle to find parking garages that aren't full, the logistics can dampen the team spirit. That is where St. Cloud Charter Bus steps in to save the day. We provide direct, door-to-door service from your meeting point in St. Cloud directly to the designated bus drop-off zones at the arena.

Imagine gathering your group of friends, family, or coworkers and hopping aboard a climate-controlled minibus rental. Instead of fighting traffic, you are reviewing player stats using our onboard WiFi, watching classic game highlights on flat-screen TVs, or simply relaxing in plush, reclining seats. For larger groups, our 56-passenger charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage, perfect for bringing along signs, jerseys, and merchandise you pick up at the game. The Kia Center is located at 400 W Church St, Orlando, FL 32801. When you book with us, your driver handles the navigation and parking, dropping you off steps from the action so you can head straight to the fan zone or grab a drink at the Bud Light Baseline Bar before tip-off.

Soccer Fever: Experience Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride

If football (the soccer kind) is more your speed, you know that the atmosphere at Inter&Co Stadium is unmatched. Home to Major League Soccer’s Orlando City SC and the NWSL’s Orlando Pride, this stadium features the first safe-standing supporter section in North America, known as "The Wall." Fans from St. Cloud flock to these matches to experience the chanting, the drums, and the sea of purple. However, getting a large supporters group from Osceola County to the stadium can be a logistical challenge without a solid transportation plan. St. Cloud Charter Bus is the preferred choice for supporter clubs and youth soccer teams heading to the match.

We can arrange a pickup at a central location in St. Cloud, such as the St. Cloud Civic Center or a local park, and shuttle your entire group directly to the stadium located at 655 W Church St, Orlando, FL 32805. Our buses are perfect for transporting youth leagues who want to see the pros in action. With overhead storage for backpacks and personal items, and a driver who prioritizes comfort, parents and coaches can relax and enjoy the outing. Plus, if you are planning a tailgate (or a pre-game pub crawl in the nearby district), a charter bus acts as your designated driver for the evening. We make sure that after the final whistle blows, everyone gets back to St. Cloud safely, no matter how intense the celebration gets.

Collegiate Thrills with UCF Knights Athletics

For college sports enthusiasts in St. Cloud, the University of Central Florida (UCF) offers high-energy NCAA Division I action. Whether it's a football game at the "Bounce House" (FBC Mortgage Stadium) or a basketball game at the Addition Financial Arena, the Knights draw massive crowds. The drive from St. Cloud to the UCF campus in East Orlando can take some time, especially on game days when thousands of alumni and students are converging on the area. St. Cloud Charter Bus offers the perfect solution for alumni associations and student groups living in St. Cloud who want to travel to the games together.

Tailgating is a huge part of the college football experience, and our full-size charter buses are designed to accommodate it. You can store tents, coolers, folding chairs, and grills in the spacious luggage bays underneath the bus. Once you arrive at the campus (located at 4000 Central Florida Blvd, Orlando, FL 32816), your driver can park in the designated oversized vehicle lots, allowing you to set up your base camp with ease. No need to cram equipment into the trunk of a sedan or coordinate multiple drivers. Enjoy the camaraderie of the ride, play your fight songs over the PA system, and arrive ready to cheer on the Knights. We also provide transportation for high school students in St. Cloud touring the university or attending athletic camps.

Local St. Cloud Sports: High School and Recreation

You don't always have to leave town to find great sports action. St. Cloud has a vibrant local sports community, anchored by the spirited rivalries of its high schools. St. Cloud High School, located at 2000 19th St, St Cloud, FL 34769, and Harmony High School nearby, host exciting football, baseball, and basketball games that draw the whole community together. St. Cloud Charter Bus is proud to serve the local St. Cloud community by providing safe, reliable transportation for away games, tournaments, and booster club outings. We understand that school buses aren't always the most comfortable option for long-distance playoff games or multi-day tournaments.

Our charter bus rentals offer a significant upgrade for student-athletes. With air conditioning to combat the Florida heat, reclining seats for resting before a big match, and plenty of room for bulky equipment bags, our buses ensure the team arrives fresh and focused. We also serve local recreational leagues and swim teams utilizing the Chris Lyle Aquatic Center (3001 17th St, St Cloud, FL 34769). Whether you are a coach looking to transport your team to a regional meet or a group of parents wanting to travel together to support the kids, we have a bus that fits your headcount and budget.

World-Class Bass Fishing Tournaments on Lake Toho

St. Cloud sits on the southern shore of East Lake Tohopekaliga and is just moments away from the legendary Lake Tohopekaliga (Lake Toho), known worldwide for its trophy bass fishing. The area frequently hosts major fishing tournaments, including events for Major League Fishing and the Bassmaster Opens. For groups coming into town for these tournaments—whether you are spectators, sponsors, or participants—St. Cloud Charter Bus provides the logistical support you need. We can shuttle groups from hotels to the St. Cloud Lakefront Park marina at 1104 Lakeshore Blvd, St Cloud, FL 34769 or over to the Big Toho Marina in Kissimmee.

If you are organizing a corporate retreat centered around a fishing expedition, a minibus is the perfect way to keep your team together. We can pick you up from Orlando International Airport (MCO), take you to your lodge or hotel in St. Cloud, and shuttle you to the docks for your days on the water. Our buses have plenty of room for personal gear, and the climate-controlled environment provides a welcome respite after a long day in the Florida sun. Turn a fishing trip into a bonding experience with seamless transportation that lets you focus on the catch, not the commute.

Golfing Getaways at Royal St. Cloud Golf Links

For those who prefer the fairway to the football field, St. Cloud offers some of the best-value golf in Central Florida. The Royal St. Cloud Golf Links, located at 5310 Michigan Ave, St Cloud, FL 34772, is a favorite for its Scottish-link style course and impeccable conditions. It is a popular destination for corporate tournaments, bachelor parties, and golf societies. Organizing a golf outing involves a lot of moving parts, specifically transporting players and their clubs. Standard rideshares simply cannot accommodate a large group with golf bags. That is why a private charter bus rental is the ace up your sleeve.

When you book a bus with St. Cloud Charter Bus for your golf trip, storage is never an issue. Our mini-coaches and full-size buses have ample storage space to ensure every set of clubs is transported safely and securely without jamming up the aisle. Your group can enjoy drinks at the Stone Bridge Tavern after the round without worrying about driving back to the hotel. We can even create a custom itinerary that includes a round of golf in St. Cloud followed by dinner in nearby Lake Nona or entertainment at Disney Springs. You build the schedule, and we make it happen with professional, courteous service.

Grapefruit League Spring Training Day Trips

One of the unique advantages of staying in St. Cloud is its central location relative to Florida's Grapefruit League—Major League Baseball's spring training. While there are no stadiums directly in St. Cloud, you are perfectly positioned for day trips to see the Atlanta Braves at CoolToday Park, the Detroit Tigers in Lakeland, or the Houston Astros in West Palm Beach. Spring training is a bucket-list experience for many baseball fans, offering a chance to see the pros in intimate stadiums. However, these venues are spread out across the state, making transportation a key factor in planning a successful trip.

St. Cloud Charter Bus makes these road trips effortless. Gather your fan club or family reunion group and load up for a day at the ballpark. A charter bus rental allows you to travel in comfort to stadiums that might be an hour or two away. Use the onboard DVD players to watch classic baseball movies like *The Sandlot* or *Field of Dreams* while you travel. With onboard restrooms available on our full-size coaches, you can minimize stops and get to the game faster. We can help you plan a multi-day tour, hitting different stadiums throughout the week, all while using St. Cloud as your quiet, affordable home base.

Is there enough room for all our sports equipment?

These buses feature spacious undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for storing football gear, baseball bags, golf clubs, coolers, and even tents for tailgating. Inside, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and purses, keeping the aisle clear for your team to stretch out.

How far in advance should we book transportation for a big game?

For major sporting events, especially playoffs, championships, or popular professional games, we recommend booking as early as possible.

However, we know sports schedules can change, and we are always happy to try and accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.
