Sporting events transportation often proves invaluable for teams across Chicago. At Infinity Transportation, we provide charter sports buses and minibusses, helping local teams arrive at their matches on time, assisting out-of-area teams, and even organizing long-distance trips on one of our luxury coaches.
Hiring a charter bus for sports teams has numerous benefits, so let's take a look at them!
What Are the Typical Destinations of Sports Team Charter Bus Travel?
Before we start, here's a breakdown of where you might see sports teams traveling via charter bus:
- Games within a league or conference: Teams will likely use charter buses for most, if not all, of their away games within their league or conference, especially if the destinations are within a reasonable driving distance (think a few hundred miles). This applies to professional leagues (MLB, NBA, etc.) and amateur leagues (youth sports, local tournaments).
- State or regional tournaments: Charter buses are a common choice for teams traveling to participate in state or regional tournaments. These events often occur within the same state or neighboring states, making them ideal for efficient and comfortable bus travel.
- Shorter training camp trips: Teams can utilize charter buses for shorter trips to training camps within the region. This allows them to travel together, bond as a team, and avoid the hassle of individual transportation for shorter distances.
- Exhibition games: If a team plays an exhibition game against a nearby opponent, a charter bus can be the preferred mode of transportation, especially if it's a one-off game.
Why Charter Buses Are Great for Sports Teams Transportation
Here is why your sports team should charter a bus for your next sporting event.
1. Focus on the Game, Not the Logistics
Coordinating carpools or individual travel is a logistical nightmare. Our charter bus services take care of everything, allowing coaches and players to focus on strategy and staying loose. No more worrying about getting lost, missing directions, or dealing with tired drivers.
2. Comfort and Safety Features for Sports Teams
First off, there's the fact that our bus rentals are designed to be luxurious, comfortable, and safe! A sports bus with a dedicated, professional driver ensures that your team travels in luxury, giving them time to prepare for the big game or relax on their way home.
Every single one of our chauffeurs has more than a decade of experience, meaning you'll get to your destination safely and on time. With a range of safety checks performed before each journey and enough room for the team to stretch out and relax, we're sure you'll see the benefits of hiring modern charter bus services for sports games after just one trip.
3. Punctuality – Key to Sports Bus Rentals
Punctuality is essential for sports events, and there's no better way to ensure that your team arrives right on time than with sports team bus rental. Without communal travel, your team members will likely arrive at different times – and all it takes is for one team member to get stuck in traffic to cause a major disruption to your game.
With sports bus rental services, you can ensure that your team gets to the field or the pitch right on time, and at the same time.
4. Time Saving
Imagine the wasted time spent dealing with traffic jams and parking woes on the way to the game. A professional driver with a charter bus takes care of all that, ensuring a smooth and efficient journey. The team arrives relaxed and focused, ready to step onto the field without the pre-game stress of a chaotic commute.
5. Team Bonding
There's also an element of bonding that you achieve through group transportation. The time spent on the charter bus is when your team can discuss game strategy and bond. Without that time on the bus together your team members may not see one another until the next game.
So, why not give your team a chance to bond, get to know each other, and foster team spirit? Friendships make a better team, and the time it takes to travel to the next game on a sports team charter bus rental could be just the time they need to formulate great plans for the field.
6. Storage Features for Any Equipment
If you need to carry equipment, our sports transportation coaches and buses make that easy. No more packing equipment into back seats and trunks! To provide your sports equipment with ample space, our coaches come with overhead storage, as well as storage under the cabin. That means everyone can bring luggage and bags with them, and all the equipment – from balls and bats to uniforms and coolers – can be safely stored away during the journey.
Whether we're talking about a recreational rugby team or softball team, or even professional teams, storage space for the team's equipment is a must for bus rentals. We ensure that your equipment suffers no damage during the journey. That's one less thing to be worried about for the next away game!
7. Modern Bus Amenities
Let's not forget about all the fantastic modern bus amenities. At Infinity Transportation, our fleet of modern coaches (24-passenger mini-bus, 44-passenger mid-size coach bus, 54-passenger coach bus, and 57-passenger coach bus) is designed to be as convenient and comfortable as possible – that means you get luxurious leather seats, power outlets, a private restroom on some coaches, a TV/CD/DVD player, PA/microphone system, USB outlets, central air conditioning, and more.
Whatever the weather, your team will enjoy a climate-controlled journey with the opportunity to watch TV or plug in their own electronic equipment en route!
8. Eco-Friendliness
Hiring our chartered bus is a great way to be more eco-friendly. By using sports bus rentals for your team, you're taking several cars off the road and reducing the carbon footprint of your team. This impact gets bigger and bigger through the entire season, the longer your team uses charter buses.
You'll be helping to reduce traffic on the road and even helping improve the air quality in Chicago. Not to mention, our buses are modern and designed to be fuel-efficient. From little league to professional sports teams, it's really a great way to go if you care about the environment as well as your team!
9. Cost-Effectiveness
Sports bus rental is more cost-effective than individual car travel. Consider the hidden costs: gas, tolls, parking fees, and wear-and-tear on personal vehicles. Splitting the charter bus cost among the team often comes out cheaper, especially for larger groups.
Individual travel can lead to unexpected expenses. Someone gets lost and needs gas money? Another player forgets their lunch and has to stop for fast food? Our charter buses eliminate these surprise costs. One flat fee covers the entire trip, making budgeting a breeze.
