A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Cheer on the Kean University Cougars

Right in the heart of Union Township lies Kean University, a hub for competitive NCAA Division III athletics. Whether you are an alumni group looking to relive the glory days, a student organization rallying support for a big match, or the family members of the athletes, renting a shuttle bus is the best way to get to the campus. We provide direct service to Kean Alumni Stadium (1000 Morris Ave, Union, NJ 07083) for football, field hockey, and lacrosse games, as well as Harwood Arena for basketball and volleyball matchups. Parking on a college campus can often be confusing and fragmented, forcing large groups to split up across different lots. With a private minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Union, your entire group arrives together at the designated drop-off zones. Your driver handles the navigation through the bustling campus while you and your group hype yourselves up for the game. We can even arrange recurring shuttle services for visiting teams playing against the Cougars, ensuring athletes have plenty of storage for their gear and a comfortable place to rest before the whistle blows.

High School Sports and Tournament Travel

Union is a community that takes immense pride in its local athletics, particularly the Union High School Farmers. If you are a coach or an athletic director, you know that coordinating travel for an entire roster of student-athletes, coaching staff, and equipment managers is no small feat. Charter Bus Rental Company Union specializes in providing safe, reliable, and GSA-approved transportation for school districts. We offer full-sized 56-passenger charter buses that feature massive undercarriage storage bays, perfect for hauling football pads, baseball bags, cheerleading mats, or marching band instruments. We regularly service trips to and from Union High School (2350 N 3rd St, Union, NJ 07083), taking teams to away games across Essex, Hudson, and Bergen counties. Parents can rest easy knowing their children are being transported by drivers in modern, well-equipped vehicles. Beyond the teams themselves, we also offer charter bus rentals for booster clubs and parents who want to travel together to championship games, turning a long drive into a spirited pep rally on wheels.

Easy Access to the Prudential Center

Just a short drive from Union is the Prudential Center (25 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07102), home of the New Jersey Devils and the Seton Hall Pirates. While "The Rock" is close by, anyone who has driven into downtown Newark on a game night knows the struggle of navigating Route 21 traffic and paying exorbitant fees for parking garages that are blocks away from the entrance. By booking a party bus or charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Union, you eliminate these headaches entirely. Your driver can drop your group off curbside, just steps from the arena doors, allowing you to head straight to your seats or the local bars on Edison Place. After the final buzzer sounds, you won't have to fight the crowds on the NJ Transit trains or wait in surging lines for a rideshare. Your private bus will be waiting to whisk you back to Union safely. This is the perfect option for corporate outings, bachelor parties, or large family gatherings looking to enjoy NHL hockey or Big East basketball without the logistical stress.

Game Day Trips to MetLife Stadium

For football fans in Union, Sundays are sacred, and there is no better place to be than MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073). Whether you bleed Big Blue for the Giants or chant J-E-T-S for the Jets, getting to the Meadowlands can be a challenge due to the heavy traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike. Charter Bus Rental Company Union offers the ultimate tailgating solution. When you rent a charter bus, you have ample room to store grills, coolers, folding tables, and tents in the luggage bays. You can start the party the moment you board the bus in Union, enjoying music and camaraderie with your fellow fans. We can secure the proper parking permits to ensure your bus gets a prime spot in the oversized vehicle lot, making your tailgate the envy of the stadium. Once the game is over, you have a warm, comfortable, and safe ride waiting for you, ensuring that win or lose, your group gets home responsibly. This service is also ideal for large concerts and international soccer matches hosted at the stadium throughout the year.

Soccer Matches at Red Bull Arena

Soccer culture is thriving in New Jersey, and Union residents are perfectly positioned to catch the action at Red Bull Arena (600 Cape May St, Harrison, NJ 07029). Home to the New York Red Bulls and NJ/NY Gotham FC, this soccer-specific stadium offers an electric atmosphere that is best experienced with a group of friends. However, parking in Harrison is notoriously limited, and the PATH trains can become incredibly crowded before and after matches. A private minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Union offers a direct, stress-free alternative. We can pick up your supporters' club from a local bar or meeting point in Union and drive you straight to the arena. With a driver at the wheel, you avoid the bridge traffic and the hunt for street parking. Enjoy the pre-match chanting and excitement in the comfort of your own private vehicle. Whether you are taking a youth soccer team to see the pros play or organizing a company outing, a bus rental ensures that everyone stays together and enjoys the match from the first kick to the final whistle.

Golf Outings in and Around Union

For those who prefer their sports with a bit more tranquility, Union County offers some exceptional golfing opportunities. Specifically, the Galloping Hill Golf Course (3 Golf Dr, Kenilworth, NJ 07033), located right on the border of Union and Kenilworth, is known as "The Course That Built The Palmer" and is a premier destination for corporate tournaments and private outings. Organizing a golf trip involves transporting not just people, but bulky golf bags and equipment. A standard car trunk simply won't cut it for a foursome, let alone a larger group. Our charter buses and minibuses offer plenty of space to store clubs safely without crowding the passengers. After a day on the links, your group can relax in reclining seats and enjoy the air conditioning on the way to a post-round dinner or back to the office. We can also provide transportation to other prestigious courses in the area, such as the Baltusrol Golf Club in nearby Springfield, making Charter Bus Rental Company Union the perfect partner for your next charity tournament or executive retreat.

Catch a Game at Yankee Stadium or Citi Field

One of the biggest advantages of living in Union is the proximity to New York City's legendary baseball stadiums, but driving into the Bronx or Queens is rarely a fun experience. Between the tolls, the bridge and tunnel traffic, and the parking costs that can rival the price of the ticket, it is a hassle many fans dread. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Union take you out to the ballgame in style. We offer charter bus rentals from Union directly to Yankee Stadium (1 E 161 St, Bronx, NY 10451) and Citi Field (41 Seaver Way, Queens, NY 11368). Your group can avoid the subway transfers and the traffic jams on the Cross Bronx Expressway while enjoying the amenities of a modern motorcoach. Watch highlights on the onboard TVs, charge your phones to capture the game day memories, and enjoy a cold drink while a driver navigates the city streets. Whether you are a die-hard Yankees fan or a loyal Mets supporter, we provide the easiest way to cross the Hudson and see your team play.

Frequently Asked Questions About Union Sports Transportation

How much storage space is there for sports gear?

Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses are designed with maximizing storage in mind. They feature expansive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate large items such as football pads, hockey sticks, golf clubs, and oversized coolers. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are renting a smaller minibus, storage space may be more limited to the rear of the vehicle. When you call to book, let our team know exactly what kind of equipment you are bringing so we can match you with the perfect bus size to fit your team and your gear comfortably.

How far in advance should I book for a big game?

For major sporting events, especially NFL games at MetLife Stadium or playoff games at the Prudential Center, demand for charter buses can skyrocket. We highly recommend booking your bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and to secure the best possible price. If you are planning transportation for a full season of team travel, it is best to book your entire schedule as soon as your game dates are released. However, we understand that last-minute trips happen, especially during playoffs, and our team is available 24/7 to try and accommodate short-notice requests whenever possible.

Do you service away games for school teams?

Absolutely. We are a trusted provider for school districts across New Jersey. We can transport your team to away games anywhere in the state. The drivers are familiar with transporting student-athletes comfortably. We can provide one-way trips, round trips, or multi-day travel for tournaments that require overnight stays. Our buses are equipped with amenities like WiFi and power outlets, allowing student-athletes to study or relax on the road to their next competition.

Can the bus wait for us during the game?

Yes, in most sporting event rental scenarios, the bus and driver will stay at the venue for the duration of the game. This serves as a secure place to store your personal belongings and gives you the flexibility to leave immediately once the event concludes or you are ready to go. For tailgating events, having the bus on-site is essential! Your quote will typically include the driver's time for the entire duration of your trip. Just be sure to clarify your itinerary with our reservation specialists so we can ensure the driver’s hours of service regulations are met.
