A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Ultimate Base Camp for Detroit Pro Sports
Southfield is uniquely positioned just minutes away from the heart of downtown Detroit, making it the ideal lodging and staging area for groups attending professional sporting events. We regularly transport fan clubs, corporate groups, and families from Southfield hotels to the major arenas. Why pay exorbitant parking fees or split up into multiple rideshares when you can ride together? For football fans, a trip to Ford Field (2000 Brush St, Detroit, MI 48226) to see the Lions is a rite of passage. Our charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage for coolers, tents, and grills, allowing you to set up the ultimate tailgate party the moment we arrive. You can hype up the crowd with fight songs playing over our premium sound systems while we handle the heavy traffic on Woodward Avenue.
If baseball is your passion, let Charter Bus Southfield shuttle your group to Comerica Park (2100 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48201) to cheer on the Tigers. There is nothing quite like a summer group outing to the ballgame, but coordinating a meetup point near the stadium can be chaotic. We drop you off curbside so you don't miss the first pitch. For basketball and hockey enthusiasts, Little Caesars Arena (2645 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48201)—home to the Pistons and the Red Wings—is a state-of-the-art destination that demands a VIP arrival. By booking a private shuttle from Southfield, your group avoids the stress of the post-game exodus, relaxing in climate-controlled comfort while your driver navigates the exit routes.
Southfield’s Own: Cheering on the Lawrence Tech Blue Devils
You don't have to leave the city limits to experience high-level collegiate athletics. Southfield is home to Lawrence Technological University (21000 W 10 Mile Rd, Southfield, MI 48075), where the Blue Devils compete in the NAIA. Whether you are an alumni group coming back for homecoming or a visiting team playing at the immense Don Ridler Field House, Charter Bus Southfield provides the reliable transportation you need. The Ridler Field House is a hub for volleyball and basketball, and parking can become tight during tournaments. Our buses can drop your group right at the entrance before parking off-site, ensuring you don't have to walk long distances in the Michigan chill.
For visiting athletic teams, our full-size charter buses are a game-changer. We understand that athletes need space to stretch out and stay focused before a match. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches offer reclining seats with plenty of legroom, ensuring no one cramps up before the whistle blows. The under-bus luggage bays are spacious enough to hold all team equipment, uniforms, and medical kits, keeping the aisleways clear. Coaches can even utilize the onboard PA system to review plays or use the flat-screen monitors to watch game footage on the way to the university. We serve teams coming from all over the Midwest to compete in Southfield, providing a consistent, professional travel experience every time.
Tee Off at Southfield’s Premier Golf Courses
Golf outings are a staple of corporate entertainment and social gatherings in Southfield, and Charter Bus Southfield is the preferred transportation provider for golf groups. One of the local favorites is the Evergreen Hills Golf Course (26000 Evergreen Rd, Southfield, MI 48076), located right within the municipal complex. This 9-hole course is perfect for quick tournaments or leisurely afternoons. When you rent a minibus or charter bus for a golf outing, you eliminate the hassle of fitting golf bags into standard car trunks.
For those looking for a historic and exclusive experience, Plum Hollow Country Club (21631 Lahser Rd, Southfield, MI 48075) offers a championship-level course that has hosted PGA championships in the past. If you are organizing a charity tournament or a corporate retreat here, a private shuttle adds a layer of sophistication and convenience. We can shuttle your participants from their offices or hotels directly to the clubhouse. After a long day on the links, participants can enjoy a cold beverage on the bus ride home without worrying about driving. We also service trips to nearby courses throughout Oakland County, making us the perfect partner for a multi-course golf weekend.
Hosting Tournaments at the Southfield Civic Center
The Southfield Civic Center (26000 Evergreen Rd, Southfield, MI 48076) is the heartbeat of the city’s recreational life and a frequent host for regional youth sports tournaments, from volleyball to basketball and swimming. If you are a tournament organizer or a traveling parent group, you know that logistics can make or break the event experience. Charter Bus Southfield specializes in tournament transportation. We can set up a shuttle service running between partner hotels and the Civic Center, ensuring that teams arrive on time for their brackets. This reduces the congestion in the parking lot and keeps the schedule running smoothly.
For parents traveling with youth teams, a charter bus rental offers a safe, controlled environment. Instead of navigating unfamiliar roads in separate vehicles, the team travels together, building camaraderie and team spirit. Between games, the bus can serve as a climate-controlled headquarters where players can rest, eat snacks, and stay out of the elements. Whether it’s a weekend-long volleyball invitational or a regional swim meet, we have the fleet capacity to handle groups of any size, from a single team minibus to a fleet of full-size coaches for the entire league.
The Best Sports Bars and Post-Game Eats in Southfield
No sports outing is complete without food and drinks, and Southfield has a rich culinary history that caters to fans. After the game, let Charter Bus Southfield take your group to Shield's Restaurant Bar Pizzeria (25101 Telegraph Rd, Southfield, MI 48033). Known for their Detroit-style square pizza since 1946, Shield's is a landmark where large groups can celebrate a win. By booking a bus, no one has to be the designated driver, and everyone can enjoy the local brews and famous pizza together. Your driver will wait while you dine and ensure everyone gets home or back to the hotel comfortably.
Another fantastic spot for large groups is Nikola's (25225 Telegraph Rd, Southfield, MI 48033), known for its barbecue and generous portions. It’s the perfect place to refuel after a tournament. If you are looking for a more traditional sports bar vibe to watch an away game, we can shuttle your group to various hotspots along Northwestern Highway or Telegraph Road. With a private charter bus, you can even organize a "pub crawl" style event, hitting multiple locations for appetizers, dinner, and drinks without ever worrying about parking or navigation. We make the post-game celebration just as memorable as the event itself.
Youth Sports and School Athletic Transportation
Charter Bus Southfield is a trusted partner for the Southfield Public Schools district and private academies throughout the region. We understand that when it comes to transporting student-athletes, comfort is the non-negotiable priority. Whether it is the Southfield A&T Warriors heading to a state championship or a middle school soccer team going to an away scrimmage, we provide an upgrade from the standard yellow school bus.
Our charter buses offer amenities that make long rides to away games much more bearable for students. With onboard WiFi and power outlets, students can finish homework or relax with music. The reclining seats allow for rest and recovery after a hard-played game. We also accommodate equipment needs with ease. From football pads to tubas for the marching band, our undercarriage storage ensures that the interior of the bus remains spacious and comfortable. Parents and school administrators can rest easy knowing that Charter Bus Southfield is handling the logistics with professionalism and care.
Tailgating in Style: The Charter Bus Advantage
Tailgating is an art form in Michigan, and doing it right requires gear, food, and people. A standard SUV simply can't hold the grill, the cornhole boards, the cooler, and the whole crew comfortably. This is where a rental from Charter Bus Southfield transforms your game day. When you rent a bus for tailgating, you gain a mobile headquarters. You can load up the storage bays with everything you need for a legendary pre-game party. Once you arrive at the stadium—whether in Southfield or downtown Detroit—you have a dedicated space to gather.
Inside the bus, the party starts before you even park. Use the onboard PA system to make announcements or get the hype train moving. Stream pre-game analysis on the TV monitors. Enjoy the climate control on those freezing late-season football days or sweltering early-season baseball games. Having a bus means you have a warm (or cool) place to retreat to during the tailgate. Plus, the convenience of being dropped off and picked up means you avoid the worst of the traffic jams exiting the parking lots. It elevates the entire experience from a simple outing to a luxury event.

Frequently Asked Questions About Southfield Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for sports equipment?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays designed to handle heavy loads. They can easily accommodate football pads, hockey bags, baseball gear, and even larger items like golf clubs or track equipment. In addition to the under-bus storage, there are overhead bins inside the cabin for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you have specific equipment needs, just let our reservation team know when you call 567-315-1770, and we will ensure you get a bus with the capacity you require.
How far in advance should we book for a major game day?
For major sporting events, especially Detroit Lions games or big college rivalries, demand for charter buses is incredibly high. We recommend booking your bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and to secure the best possible rate. However, we understand that playoffs and tournaments can pop up on the schedule unexpectedly. Our team is available 24/7 to try and accommodate last-minute requests, though vehicle choices may be more limited closer to the date.
Do your buses have WiFi and power outlets for players?
Yes! Most of the modern charter buses and minibuses in our fleet come equipped with free WiFi and individual power outlets or USB ports at every seat. This is perfect for student-athletes who need to catch up on homework, coaches who want to review game film on tablets, or fans who want to post photos to social media on the way to the game. If these amenities are a priority for your team, please request them specifically when you call to book.
Is there a restroom on board for long trips to away games?
Yes, our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with a clean, onboard restroom. This is a huge benefit for teams traveling long distances for away games or tournaments, as it minimizes the need for unplanned pit stops and keeps your schedule on track. Smaller vehicles, such as minibuses and sprinter vans, typically do not feature onboard restrooms, so they are better suited for shorter local trips around Southfield and Metro Detroit.
