A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch a Sod Poodles Game at Hodgetown
If there is one thing that has revitalized downtown Amarillo in recent years, it is the arrival of the Amarillo Sod Poodles. As the Double-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Sod Poodles (or "Soddies" to the locals) offer a high-energy baseball experience that is perfect for groups. The team plays at Hodgetown (715 S Buchanan St, Amarillo, TX 79101), a state-of-the-art stadium located right in the heart of the city. Attending a game here isn't just about baseball; it's about the atmosphere, the food, and the community spirit. However, downtown parking can be scarce and expensive, especially during weekend series or promotional nights like fireworks Fridays. By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Amarillo, you can bypass the stress of downtown gridlock.
Your driver can drop your group off right at the curb near the stadium entrance, allowing you to head straight for the gates while the bus handles the parking logistics. Whether you are hosting a corporate outing in one of the hospitality suites or bringing a youth league to run the bases after the game, a private bus ensures everyone stays together. Plus, with the extra storage space available on our full-size coaches, you can bring along banners, gloves, and team merchandise without cluttering the aisle. After the final out, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to a celebratory dinner at a local steakhouse or straight back to your hotel, ensuring a comfortable ride home for everyone who enjoyed a few ballpark brews.
Hockey Action with the Amarillo Wranglers
When the Texas heat starts to cool down, the action heats up on the ice. The Amarillo Wranglers, members of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), bring fast-paced excitement to the Texas Panhandle. Home games are played at the Amarillo Civic Center Complex (401 S Buchanan St, Amarillo, TX 79101), a massive multi-purpose venue that serves as the cultural beat of the city. Hockey games are fantastic events for large groups, offering a high-energy environment that is great for school trips , church youth groups, or bachelor parties. However, navigating the Civic Center area when there are multiple events happening—such as conventions or concerts running simultaneously with a hockey game—can be a traffic nightmare.
With Charter Bus Rental Company Amarillo, your group transportation is seamless. We can arrange a minibus for a small group of friends or a fleet of charter buses for a large school organization. Our buses are equipped with heating systems to keep you cozy before and after the chilly arena experience. If you are a visiting team traveling to play the Wranglers, our motorcoaches offer the undercarriage storage necessary for bulky hockey bags, sticks, and pads, while the players can relax in reclining seats to mentally prepare for the match. We handle the navigation along Buchanan Street so you can focus on the face-off.
High School Football: The Heart of Texas Panhandle Sports
In Texas, high school football isn't just a sport; it is a way of life. Amarillo is home to several powerhouse high school programs, and Friday nights at Dick Bivins Stadium (800 S Marrs St, Amarillo, TX 79104) are legendary. Whether you are supporting the Tascosa Rebels, the Amarillo High Sandies, or the Palo Duro Dons, the energy in the stadium is electric. For booster clubs, marching bands, and cheer squads, getting to the game safely and on time is priority number one. Charter Bus Rental Company Amarillo specializes in transporting student groups and fan sections to stadiums across the region. We understand that band instruments, uniforms, and cheer gear take up a lot of space, which is why our 56-passenger charter buses are the preferred choice for school districts.
Beyond the teams themselves, we also provide transportation for families and alumni groups. Instead of driving separately and struggling to find parking in the crowded lots off Marrs Street, rent a charter bus to transport your entire neighborhood or alumni association to the big rivalry game. You can turn the ride into a pep rally with our onboard PA systems and flat-screen TVs to watch highlight reels. Whether the game is at Dick Bivins or you are traveling for a playoff game in Lubbock or Midland, drivers are good in handling highway driving and stadium logistics, ensuring your group arrives ready to cheer until the final whistle.
College Sports at West Texas A&M University
Just a short drive south of Amarillo via I-27 lies Canyon, Texas, home to West Texas A&M University. The WTAMU Buffaloes compete in the Lone Star Conference, and their athletic events are a major draw for sports fans in Amarillo. The crown jewel of their athletic facilities is Bain-Schaeffer Buffalo Stadium (2501 4th Ave, Canyon, TX 79015), an on-campus stadium that offers one of the best Division II football atmospheres in the country. Additionally, the First United Bank Center (3301 4th Ave, Canyon, TX 79015) hosts intense basketball and volleyball matchups. For alumni groups based in Amarillo or student organizations planning a trip to support the Buffs, a charter bus rental is the most convenient way to travel down I-27.
Tailgating is a huge part of the college football experience, and Charter Bus Rental Company Amarillo makes it easier than ever. Load up your coolers, tents, folding chairs, and grills into the spacious luggage bays of your bus rental. Your driver will handle the short commute from Amarillo to Canyon, dropping you off right near the tailgating zone. After the game, you don't have to worry about fatigue or designated drivers; your chauffeur handles the return trip while you recount the highlights of the game with your friends. We also service visiting collegiate teams playing against WTAMU, providing comfortable, reliable transport from Amarillo hotels to the university facilities.
Youth Sports Tournaments and Travel Teams
Amarillo has become a premier destination for youth sports tournaments, attracting teams from New Mexico, Oklahoma, and across Texas. Facilities like the Amarillo National Center (3301 SE 10th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79104) for equestrian and rodeo events, or the various soccer and baseball complexes around the city, host thousands of young athletes annually. For travel teams, renting a charter bus offers a level of team bonding that simply isn't possible when parents drive separately in a caravan. Players can strategize, rest, or watch movies together on the bus, building camaraderie before they even step onto the field.
Charter Bus Rental Company Amarillo offers specialized services for youth sports travel. We prioritize comfort above all else, ensuring that our buses meet the highest maintenance standards. Whether you are headed to a soccer tournament at the sprawling Southeast Park or a basketball tournament at the Netplex, we have the right vehicle for you. Our buses have plenty of room for gear bags and uniforms, keeping the aisleways clear and comfortable. Plus, with onboard WiFi and power outlets, players can keep their devices charged and stay entertained between games or during the drive back to the hotel.
Rodeo Action at the Tri-State Fairgrounds
You cannot talk about sports in Amarillo without mentioning the rodeo. The city's western heritage shines bright at the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo, held annually at the Tri-State Fairgrounds (3301 SE 10th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79104). From barrel racing to bull riding, the rodeo attracts huge crowds and competitors from all over the country. For large groups attending the rodeo—whether it’s a corporate western-themed outing, a family reunion, or a 4-H club trip—a charter bus rental is the ultimate convenience. Parking at the fairgrounds during peak events can be chaotic, with long walks from the outer lots to the arena entrance.
By booking a shuttle bus or full-size motorcoach with Charter Bus Rental Company Amarillo, you bypass the parking hassle entirely. Your driver can drop your group off near the entrance gates, allowing you to maximize your time enjoying the livestock shows, carnival rides, and rodeo events. If your group plans to stay late for the concerts that often follow the rodeo, you can enjoy the entertainment knowing your comfortableride home is waiting for you. We also provide transportation for participants and their support teams, with ample storage for gear and luggage required for multi-day rodeo events.
Golf Outings in the Yellow City
For those who prefer a quieter, yet equally competitive sporting experience, Amarillo offers several excellent golf courses. Groups looking to hit the links at Ross Rogers Golf Complex (722 NW 24th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79107) or Tascosa Golf Club (4502 Fairway Dr, Amarillo, TX 79124) will find that a charter bus rental adds a touch of luxury to their outing. Organizing a charity golf tournament or a corporate scramble involves a lot of logistics, particularly regarding the transport of golf clubs and attendees. A minibus rental is perfect for these occasions.
Our buses offer ample storage space for golf bags, ensuring that expensive clubs are transported safely and securely without being crammed into the trunk of a car. After a long day of 18 holes under the Texas sun, your group can relax in the air-conditioned comfort of the bus, perhaps enjoying a cold beverage if your group is of legal drinking age (please verify alcohol policies with our reservation specialists). We can shuttle your group from the course to a local BBQ joint for a post-round meal, and then back to your hotel or homes, making for a seamless and enjoyable day on the green.
