A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Ultimate Watch Party at Rivers Casino Portsmouth
For sports fans who love the thrill of the wager as much as the game itself, Portsmouth is home to a premier destination: Rivers Casino Portsmouth. As the first permanent casino in Virginia, this venue has quickly become a hotspot for groups looking to watch the big game in style. The BetMGM Sportsbook within the casino offers an electric atmosphere that rivals being in the stadium. With massive high-definition LED video walls, dozens of comfortable lounge seats, and individual betting kiosks, you won’t miss a single play, whether it’s the Super Bowl, March Madness, or the World Series.
Organizing a trip to the casino for a major sporting event can be complicated if everyone drives separately. Parking garages get crowded, and coordinating arrival times can be a hassle. By booking a private party bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Portsmouth, your group arrives together at the front entrance (3630 Victory Blvd, Portsmouth, VA 23701). You can enjoy the game, indulge in the casino’s dining options like Admiral’s Steak & Seafood, and enjoy adult beverages without worrying about designating a driver for the ride home. Your drivers handle the logistics so you can focus on your parlays and prop bets. The casino is easily accessible via Victory Boulevard, and our buses have ample space to drop off your group right where the action is.
Catching the Tides at Harbor Park
Just across the Elizabeth River from Portsmouth lies one of the most scenic minor league ballparks in America: Harbor Park. Home to the Norfolk Tides, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, this stadium offers breathtaking views of the water and high-quality baseball action. For Portsmouth residents and visitors, attending a Tides game is a summer tradition. However, getting to the stadium often involves navigating the Downtown Tunnel, which can be gridlocked during rush hour and game times. Parking at the stadium can also be tight and requires a fee.
Charter Bus Rental Company Portsmouth offers the perfect solution. Load your fan group, little league team, or corporate outing onto a cool, air-conditioned charter bus and bypass the stress of tunnel traffic. We can drop your group off right at the stadium gates (150 Park Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510), allowing you to skip the long walks from distant overflow lots. On the way there, your group can get in the spirit by listening to pre-game commentary on our onboard WiFi or watching highlight reels on the flat-screen TVs equipped in most of our full-sized coaches. Whether you are sitting behind home plate or enjoying a picnic in the outfield, a charter bus rental ensures the seventh-inning stretch isn't the only time you get to relax.
Hockey and Hoops at the Norfolk Scope Arena
When the weather cools down, the action heats up at the Norfolk Scope Arena. This architectural marvel is the home of the Norfolk Admirals (ECHL ice hockey) and hosts the MEAC Basketball Tournament, drawing huge crowds from across the East Coast. Located just minutes from Portsmouth via the Midtown Tunnel, the Scope is a hub for high-energy indoor sports. Groups traveling from Portsmouth often face the challenge of finding parking in downtown Norfolk’s busy streets, especially when concurrent events are happening at nearby venues like Chrysler Hall.
With a bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Portsmouth, your group transportation is seamless. We regularly shuttle youth hockey teams, alumni associations, and band groups to the Scope (201 E Brambleton Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510). Our 56-passenger motorcoaches are ideal for hockey teams carrying bulky gear bags, sticks, and pads, offering massive undercarriage storage bays to keep the cabin clutter-free. For basketball fans heading to the MEAC tournament, a party bus rental allows you to hype up the crowd with LED lighting and premium sound systems before you even enter the arena. Forget about splitting up into five different cars and paying for five different parking spots; ride together and arrive ready to cheer.
College Game Days at Old Dominion University
Hampton Roads loves its college sports, and Old Dominion University (ODU) in nearby Norfolk is the center of that passion. Whether it’s tailgating for Monarchs football at S.B. Ballard Stadium or catching a basketball game at the Chartway Arena, the energy is infectious. Portsmouth serves as excellent lodging and staging grounds for visiting teams and alumni groups who want to avoid the congestion of staying directly on campus. However, getting a large group from Portsmouth to ODU (5115 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23529) requires navigating Hampton Boulevard, which can be bumper-to-bumper on game days.
Charter Bus Rental Company Portsmouth specializes in game day logistics. We can arrange a shuttle service that picks your group up from Portsmouth hotels or meeting spots and takes you directly to the designated tailgate zones or stadium entrances at ODU. Our buses are perfect for tailgating supplies; store your coolers, tents, folding chairs, and grills in the luggage bays underneath the bus. Once the game ends, you won't have to fight the traffic exiting the parking decks—your driver will be waiting at a pre-arranged location to whisk you back to Portsmouth comfortably. From alumni reunions to student section takeovers, we make college game day effortless.
Golf Outings at Bide-A-Wee Golf Course
Portsmouth isn't just about watching sports; it’s about playing them, too. For golf enthusiasts, Bide-A-Wee Golf Course is a legendary local stop. This Curtis Strange signature course, located right here in Portsmouth (1 Bide A Wee Dr, Portsmouth, VA 23701), offers a challenging yet beautiful layout that has been a favorite of locals and visitors for years. Organizing a corporate golf retreat, a charity tournament, or a bachelor party weekend on the links? Transporting golf clubs and groups of players in standard rideshares is nearly impossible.
A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Portsmouth is the ideal choice for your golf outing. Our shuttles offer plenty of space for golf bags and gear without cramping the passengers. After 18 holes in the sun, relax in reclining seats with potent air conditioning as we shuttle your group to a post-round dinner at a local Portsmouth favorite like Baron’s Pub or Bier Garden. We can even coordinate a multi-course tour, taking your group from Bide-A-Wee to other top courses in Suffolk or Chesapeake over the weekend. Keep your foursomes together and let us handle the driving.
Youth Sports Travel to Virginia Beach Sports Center
While Portsmouth has great local fields, many travel teams staying in the city are competing in massive tournaments at the Virginia Beach Sports Center or the Princess Anne Athletic Complex. These venues (1045 19th St, Virginia Beach, VA 23451) attract thousands of athletes for volleyball, basketball, track, and soccer events. Traveling from Portsmouth to the Virginia Beach oceanfront area can take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic along I-264. For coaches and team managers, coordinating a caravan of parents is a logistical nightmare that often results in late arrivals and distracted players.

Players can rest, hydrate, and review plays on onboard monitors while en route. Coaches appreciate the ample storage for uniforms and equipment, ensuring nothing gets left behind.

Frequently Asked Questions About Portsmouth Sports Transportation
Do we have to pay for the tunnel tolls?
When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Portsmouth, your quote includes the base rate, driver, and fuel. However, specific tolls—like those for the Downtown or Midtown tunnels connecting Portsmouth to Norfolk—are the responsibility of the renting group unless otherwise specified in your all-inclusive quote. When you call 757-972-5040 to book, our reservation specialist will break down all costs so there are no surprises on game day.
Where does the bus park once we get to the stadium?
Bus parking policies vary by venue. At places like Harbor Park or the Rivers Casino Portsmouth, there are designated lots for oversized vehicles.You are responsible for covering the cost of parking the bus at the venue. Your driver will drop your group off as close to the entrance as possible and then proceed to the designated parking area. We recommend checking the specific stadium's website for "motorcoach parking" fees and locations ahead of time, or our team can help you research this when you book.
How much storage space is available for sports equipment?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that run the length of the bus. These are perfect for storing bulky items like golf clubs, hockey bags, football pads, coolers, and folding chairs. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are renting a smaller minibus, storage space is more limited (usually a rear trunk area), so be sure to tell our reservation team exactly what equipment you are bringing so we can provide you with the right bus size.

For major sporting events (like homecoming games, playoff tournaments, or big rivalries), we recommend booking your bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. The demand for transportation in Hampton Roads is high, especially on weekends. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Portsmouth specializes in last-minute needs as well!
