Charter Buses for Tailgating and Fan Shuttles in Athens
It's no secret that the University of Georgia draws tens of thousands of fans to Athens on game days. In 2023 alone, UGA athletics sold over 45,000 season tickets-meaning half the battle is managing the traffic! When you book a bus for your group of fans, you can keep the party going without worrying about the gridlock. Instead of cramming into a few cars and getting separated in the chaos, your group can keep the energy high in a private bus with a designated driver. Store your coolers, tents, and cornhole sets in convenient undercarriage compartments and enjoy a smooth ride right into the heart of Dawg Nation.
Even if you aren't attending the game, you can still soak up the electric atmosphere by tailgating! We provide reliable transportation for UGA Football tailgate parties, so all you have to do is focus on repping the Dawgs. According to the official UGA game day guide, lots open at 7 a.m. and remain open until two hours post-game-but that doesn't mean you have to pack up and leave at the end of the night! With a private bus, you can keep the trash cans rolling (if you know, you know) and stay out as long as you want. Your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel whenever you're ready.
Charter Buses for Sports Teams in Athens
Local teams and athletic clubs can also book a charter bus in Athens for season-long transportation. The University of Georgia's Intramural Sports program is one of the largest and most competitive in the country, with more than 8,000 students participating each year across 40+ leagues and tournaments-and that's not even including club sports or recreation classes. High school teams in the Clarke County School District can use an Athens charter bus to get to practices, games, and tournaments without having to coordinate a parent-driven caravan. During the off-season, the Athens YMCA organizes youth sports leagues that often play at multiple locations around the county. A charter bus rental keeps everyone together and on schedule, whether it's a trip to the UGA Club Sports Complex (1030 Deer Park Rd, Athens, GA 30606) or a regional championship at North Oconee High School (1081 Rocky Branch Rd, Bogart, GA 30622).
Charter Bus Rentals for Every Team in Athens
We provide reliable transportation for every level of athletics in Athens, from high school teams at Clarke Central High School to youth tournaments at the Athens Sports Complex (1030 Mitchell Bridge Rd, Athens, GA 30606). Coaches and athletes love the extra overhead storage on our 15-passenger minibuses for quick trips across campus, while fans appreciate the comfortable reclining seats on our full-size motorcoaches for long-distance travel to rival games.
When you book with Athens Charter Bus Rentals, you get a custom transportation plan built around your exact schedule. Need a ride to practice at the Ramsey Student Center? Hosting a tournament at the UGA Club Sports Complex? Traveling out of town for a playoff game? We'll make sure everyone arrives together and on time. You can even request special features like PA systems for coaches, flat-screen TVs for film review, or ADA-accessible lifts and seating-just tell us what you need when you call.
It's why athletic directors, coaches, and event organizers across Clarke County trust us to keep their seasons moving.
Charter Buses for Away Game Out of Athens, Georgia

Instead of cramming into personal cars or dealing with a complicated carpool caravan, your group can reserve an Athens charter bus and enjoy the ride together. Your bus will have comfortable seating, overhead storage, and (if you want it) WiFi and power outlets to keep everyone charged up and connected. Coaches can review game footage with players, fans can relax before a long day of cheering, and everyone arrives at the venue ready to go.
We regularly provide charter bus rentals in Columbus, Macon, and Atlanta for regional travel, but we can take your group anywhere in the state or beyond. Whether you're heading to a high school away game in Clarke County, a youth sports tournament at the Athens YMCA, or a college scrimmage across Georgia, we'll make sure your trip runs on time.
