A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Experience the Electric Atmosphere of Jordan-Hare Stadium
There is no event in Auburn quite like a Saturday in the fall. Jordan-Hare Stadium isn't just a football field; it is a cathedral of college sports where the Auburn Tigers battle their SEC rivals. With a capacity exceeding 87,000, it becomes the fifth-largest city in Alabama on game days. The energy starts building hours before kickoff with the Tiger Walk down Donahue Drive and the eagle flight before the coin toss. However, the sheer volume of people descending upon the campus creates significant traffic congestion on I-85 and U.S. Highway 280.
For large groups of fans, alumni associations, or corporate clients entertaining guests, relying on individual cars is a recipe for separation and frustration. Public parking is scarce, often requiring long walks or expensive passes purchased months in advance. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Auburn, you streamline the entire process. We can arrange for your bus to drop your group off as close to the stadium as security protocols allow.
Furthermore, a charter bus is the ultimate tailgating vehicle. Our full-size motorcoaches come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays, perfect for hauling tents, coolers, folding chairs, and even portable grills. Instead of cramming gear into a trunk, you can bring everything you need for a proper tailgate at Ag Heritage Park or the intramural fields. Inside the bus, your group can enjoy climate-controlled comfort—essential during those sweltering September games—while watching pre-game coverage on flat-screen TVs. Win or lose, you have a driver ready to navigate the post-game gridlock while you relax and recap the highlights.
Catch Top-Tier Talent at Neville Arena
While football may be king in the South, Auburn basketball has carved out a massive following, turning Neville Arena into one of the most intimidating environments in college sports. Dubbed "The Jungle," the student section creates a deafening noise level that makes every game a thrill. But Neville Arena isn't just for hoops; it is also a premier venue for graduations, gymnastics meets, and major touring concerts. Located right next to the stadium, it sits in the heart of the athletic complex.
Transportation to Neville Arena can be tricky due to its central campus location. Parking lots like the Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum lot fill up instantly. For school groups attending a gymnastics meet or corporate groups catching a mid-week basketball game, a minibus rental is the perfect solution. A minibus allows your group to bypass the shuttle buses and long walks from remote parking lots.
If you are organizing a trip for a student organization or a youth group, safety and accountability are paramount. A private bus rental ensures that everyone stays together. No one gets lost finding the venue, and you can do a quick headcount before departing. Plus, with amenities like onboard WiFi, students can upload their videos of the game or concert in real-time without draining their data plans. Whether it's a high-energy concert or a buzzer-beater basketball game, Charter Bus Auburn provides the reliable link between your meeting point and the front doors of the arena.
Cultural Nights at the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center
For those seeking a more refined evening of entertainment, the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center—locally known as "The Gogue"—is the crown jewel of Auburn’s cultural scene. Located on South College Street, this state-of-the-art facility hosts Broadway national tours, symphony orchestras, jazz ensembles, and celebrity guest speakers. It has transformed Auburn into a destination for the performing arts, attracting patrons from Montgomery, Columbus, and Birmingham.
Events at The Gogue often call for a higher standard of travel. If you are organizing a theater trip for a senior center, a donor appreciation night for a non-profit, or a cultured evening for a corporate executive team, a charter bus adds a touch of elegance to the night. We offer sleek, modern buses that pair perfectly with an evening of black-tie attire. Your group can be dropped off right at the portico, avoiding the need to walk distances in heels or formal wear.
Additionally, many of our clients choose to pair a show at The Gogue with a dinner reservation at one of Auburn’s fine dining establishments, such as The Depot or Acre. Coordinating a convoy of cars from a restaurant to the theater can result in late arrivals and missed curtains. With a charter bus rental, your driver handles the timing perfectly. You can enjoy dessert and coffee, board the bus, and arrive at the theater with plenty of time to find your seats before the lights go down.
Spring Fun at Auburn CityFest
Every April, Kiesel Park comes alive with Auburn CityFest, the largest outdoor festival in the area. This family-friendly event features hundreds of arts and crafts vendors, live music, food trucks, and interactive activities for children. It is a celebration of spring on the Plains and a fantastic outing for community groups, church groups, and extended families. Kiesel Park is located a bit further out from the city center, and while it is beautiful, managing transportation for a large crowd can be difficult due to the grassy parking situations and high attendance.
Renting a bus for CityFest is an excellent way to keep your group organized. For church youth groups or scout troops, a charter bus provides a central meeting point and a safe, air-conditioned space to rest if the Alabama sun gets too intense. Parents can rest easy knowing that their children are traveling in a DOT-inspected vehicle with a driver.
Furthermore, festivals often mean purchasing art, crafts, and goods. A charter bus offers ample overhead storage and luggage bays to store your finds safely. You won't have to carry bags around the park all day or make multiple trips back to a car parked half a mile away. Charter Bus Auburn can schedule pick-up and drop-off times that allow you to experience the best of the festival—from the headlining musical acts to the dog shows—without the stress of fighting for a parking space in the grass.
Discover the Indie Vibes at The Standard Deluxe in Waverly
Just a few miles northwest of Auburn lies the tiny town of Waverly, Alabama, home to one of the South's most unique music venues: The Standard Deluxe. Famous for its "Old 280 Boogie" and intimate "yard parties," this venue attracts incredible Americana, folk, and rock artists. It’s an outdoor, laid-back atmosphere that feels like a secret garden party. However, because it is located outside of the main rideshare zones of Auburn and Opelika, getting safe transportation back to the city after a night of music and drinks is a major concern for attendees.
This is one of the most popular reasons groups book with Charter Bus Auburn. If you are planning a bachelor or bachelorette party, a Greek life social, or just a night out with 20 of your closest friends to see a band at The Standard Deluxe, a minibus rental is essential. It serves as your designated driver, ensuring that everyone in your party gets home comfortably.
The roads leading back to Auburn from Waverly are two-lane highways that can be dark at night. Having a driver behind the wheel allows your group to enjoy the concert fully, indulge in the local beverages, and relax on the ride home. You can plug your phone into the bus’s sound system to keep the music going or recline your seat and rest after dancing on the lawn. It transforms a logistical hurdle into a VIP experience.
Ag Heritage Park and The Red Barn Events
Located on the campus of Auburn University, Ag Heritage Park is a stunning tribute to Alabama’s agricultural history, but it is also a premier event venue. The Red Barn and the surrounding pavilion are hotspots for large private gatherings, including Greek life formals, charity galas, and weddings. The open green spaces often host outdoor concerts and university-sponsored picnics.
For organizers of sorority or fraternity formals, transportation is a key liability and logistical component. Charter Bus Auburn works closely with student organizations to provide safe, reliable shuttles for these events. We understand the specific needs of Greek life transportation, from coordinating multiple buses for large chapters to ensuring efficient loading and unloading procedures.
Similarly, for weddings hosted at the Red Barn, a shuttle service is a thoughtful touch for out-of-town guests. Many visitors may stay at hotels along South College Street or near Tiger Town in Opelika. Navigating the campus can be confusing for those unfamiliar with the area. A wedding shuttle that runs loops between the hotel and Ag Heritage Park ensures your ceremony starts on time and your guests aren't wandering around campus looking for the venue. We can even add a touch of class with all-black or all-white bus exteriors to match your event's aesthetic.
Celebrating Victory at Toomer’s Corner
No guide to Auburn events is complete without mentioning Toomer’s Corner. Located at the intersection of College Street and Magnolia Avenue, this is the spiritual heart of the city. While not a "venue" in the traditional sense, the post-game celebrations here are legendary. After an Auburn victory, thousands of fans gather to roll the famous oak trees (and surrounding structures) with toilet paper, turning the intersection into a winter wonderland of white.
If your group is visiting for a game, witnessing a rolling of Toomer’s Corner is mandatory. However, traffic in this intersection is completely shut down during celebrations, and surrounding streets become gridlocked. If you have rented a charter bus for the game, we can coordinate a strategic pickup point a few blocks away. This allows your group to walk to the corner, participate in the festivities, grab a famous Toomer’s Lemonade, and then easily retreat to the bus without getting stuck in the immediate post-celebration traffic jam.
Whether it’s a football victory, a basketball championship, or a homecoming parade, Toomer’s Corner is where the community unites. Having a charter bus allows you to be part of the action without being trapped by it. Your driver handles the navigation while you handle the toilet paper!

Frequently Asked Questions About Auburn Concert Transportation
Where can charter buses park during Auburn football games?
Parking for charter buses during football games is strictly regulated by the university. Typically, there are designated lots for RVs and buses, often located near the Hayfields or specific intramural fields. These passes usually need to be purchased in advance through the university's athletics department. When you book with Charter Bus Auburn, we can help advise you on the current season's parking protocols, but securing the parking pass is generally the responsibility of the group. However, we can also arrange for drop-off and pickup service if you prefer not to pay for on-site parking.
How far in advance should we book a bus for a football game?
For Auburn University home football games, demand is incredibly high. We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially for high-profile SEC matchups (like the Iron Bowl or games against Georgia). Waiting until the last minute often results in limited availability and higher prices. If you know your schedule, call us as soon as possible to lock in your bus.
Do you offer transportation to events outside of Auburn?
Absolutely. While we specialize in Auburn, our service area covers the entire Southeast. We frequently transport groups to concerts in Atlanta, Birmingham, and Montgomery. Whether you need a shuttle to the Atlanta airport (ATL) for a corporate group or a ride to a concert at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham, we can accommodate long-distance travel with comfortable amenities like reclining seats and onboard restrooms.
What amenities are included on your buses?
Our fleet offers a variety of amenities designed for comfort and convenience. Most full-size charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays. Many buses also feature WiFi, power outlets at every seat, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. If your group has specific requirements, such as ADA accessibility or specific entertainment needs, please inform our reservation team when you call, and we will find the perfect vehicle for you.
