A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch a RailRiders Game at PNC Field
There is nothing quite like a summer evening spent under the lights at PNC Field (235 Montage Mountain Rd, Moosic, PA 18507; 585-685-2181), home of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. As the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, this team brings top-tier baseball talent right to our backyard. Groups flock to Moosic to watch future MLB stars in action, enjoy fireworks nights, and indulge in classic ballpark food. However, organizing a caravan of cars for a large group can be a logistical nightmare, especially when trying to coordinate parking and meeting spots near the stadium entrance.
When you book a private charter bus with Charter Bus Scranton, your group stays together from pickup to the final pitch. We can arrange for a minibus to shuttle your family reunion or corporate team directly to the gate, eliminating the need to navigate the busy Montage Mountain Road traffic. For larger groups or fan clubs, a full-size coach bus offers ample undercarriage storage for tailgating gear—coolers, folding chairs, and cornhole boards fit with ease. Your driver handles the parking logistics while you relax in air-conditioned comfort, perhaps reviewing the starting lineup using our onboard WiFi. Whether it’s a Thirsty Thursday or a weekend matinee, a charter bus rental turns a simple game into a home run event.
Experience Ice Hockey Action with the WBS Penguins
When the temperature drops, the action heats up at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza (255 Highland Park Blvd, Wilkes-Barre Township, PA 18702; 585-685-2181). This 8,000-seat arena is the proud home of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, the AHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins. "Baby Pens" games are legendary for their high energy, passionate fanbase, and hard-hitting hockey. Getting a group to Wilkes-Barre Township on a snowy Friday night, however, can be challenging without the right transportation. I-81 can be unpredictable in winter weather, and splitting up into multiple vehicles increases the risk of late arrivals.
Choose Charter Bus Scranton for a safe, warm, and reliable ride to the arena. Our buses are modern, ensuring your group travels comfortably regardless of the weather conditions. A charter bus rental is perfect for youth hockey teams traveling to watch the pros, corporate outings looking for a unique winter activity, or groups of friends wanting to enjoy a few beverages at the game without worrying about a designated driver. With a private bus, your driver drops you off curbside so you can head straight for the concessions and your seats. After the final horn, your warm bus will be waiting to take everyone home safely. Request a bus with flat-screen TVs to watch hockey highlights on the way to the arena to get everyone pumped up for the puck drop.
Hit the Slopes at Montage Mountain Resorts
Scranton isn't just about spectator sports; it's a destination for active participants, too. Montage Mountain Resorts (1000 Montage Mountain Rd, Scranton, PA 18507; 585-685-2181) offers some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Pennsylvania, featuring 26 trails ranging from beginner slopes to the expert "White Lightning," one of the steepest trails on the East Coast. In the off-season, the mountain transforms into a waterpark and outdoor adventure hub. Organizing a ski trip for a school club, church group, or large family involves hauling a lot of bulky gear, which is where a standard car or van falls short.
Rent a full-size charter bus from Charter Bus Scranton for your next mountain adventure. Our motorcoaches feature massive undercarriage luggage bays designed to hold skis, snowboards, boots, and winter coats, keeping the cabin clutter-free. Your group can stretch out in reclining seats with plenty of legroom to rest their legs before and after a long day on the slopes. No need to worry about changing into snow boots in a cramped car; the spacious interior of a charter bus allows for easy movement. Plus, with a driver navigating the steep ascent up Montage Mountain Road, you can simply enjoy the view of the Wyoming Valley. We can also schedule shuttles between the resort and local hotels if you are planning a multi-day winter getaway.
College Athletics: Cheering on the Royals and Pacers
Scranton is a proud college town, home to the University of Scranton (800 Linden St, Scranton, PA 18510), Marywood University (2300 Adams Ave, Scranton, PA 18509), and Lackawanna College (501 Vine St, Scranton, PA 18509). Collegiate sports are a huge part of the local culture, from the Scranton Royals' basketball games at the John J. Long Center to Marywood Pacers' soccer matches. Whether you are an alumni association planning a homecoming trip, a student organization heading to an away game, or a visiting team needing reliable transport, Charter Bus Scranton has the expertise to manage your logistics.
We understand that collegiate teams require precise scheduling and specific amenities. Our charter buses offer plenty of storage for team equipment, uniforms, and medical supplies. Athletes can take advantage of power outlets and WiFi to catch up on studies or review game footage on the road. For alumni groups and fans, a minibus rental provides a convenient way to travel together to campus events, ensuring everyone arrives on time for the tailgate or pre-game ceremonies. Avoid the hassle of finding visitor parking on tight city campuses by letting your driver drop you off right at the athletic center. We serve all local institutions and can easily coordinate travel for tournaments, championships, and recruitment events.
Tee Off at Scranton’s Premier Golf Courses
For those who prefer the quiet intensity of the fairway, the Scranton area boasts several prestigious golf courses. Glenmaura National Golf Club (100 Glenmaura National Blvd, Moosic, PA 18507; 585-685-2181) offers a championship-level experience that has hosted statewide tours. Meanwhile, the historic Country Club of Scranton (1001 Morgan Hwy, Clarks Summit, PA 18411; 585-685-2181) provides a classic golfing atmosphere just a short drive from downtown. Planning a corporate golf outing, a charity tournament, or a bachelor party weekend on the links? Transportation is key to keeping the group together and on schedule for tee times.
A minibus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Scranton is the ideal solution for golf groups. Standard vehicles simply cannot accommodate multiple sets of golf clubs and luggage comfortably. Our buses offer ample storage space for everyone’s clubs, shoes, and gear, ensuring nothing gets left behind or damaged. Your group can enjoy the camaraderie of the ride, perhaps enjoying a beverage (if permitted) and discussing strategy for the course. After the 18th hole, your driver will be ready to transport everyone to a local steakhouse or back to the hotel, making for a seamless and sophisticated day on the greens.
Youth Sports Tournament Transportation
Northeastern Pennsylvania has become a hub for youth sports tournaments, with facilities like Riverfront Sports (5 W Olive St, Scranton, PA 18508; 585-685-2181) hosting soccer, basketball, and lacrosse events year-round. Traveling with a youth team requires a high level of organization and safety. Parents and coaches often dread the "carpool convoy," where drivers can get separated, lost, or delayed. Charter Bus Scranton offers a safer, more unified alternative for travel teams, school squads, and summer camps.
When you book a team bus with us, you ensure that every player arrives at the venue simultaneously, allowing for proper warm-up time. Our buses are equipped with safety features and are driven by drivers, giving parents peace of mind. The shared travel time also provides a valuable opportunity for team bonding and pre-game pep talks. For multi-day tournaments, we can provide shuttle services between the sports complex, the hotel, and local dining spots like Cooper's Seafood House or Old Forge for some famous pizza. Let us handle the logistics so coaches can focus on the game and parents can focus on cheering.
Tailgating and Away Game Travel for Local Teams
Sometimes the love of the game takes you on the road. Scranton’s central location makes it an easy launchpad for trips to major sporting cities like Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore. Whether you are a group of die-hard Eagles fans heading to Lincoln Financial Field, Yankees fans making the pilgrimage to the Bronx, or a local high school team traveling for a state championship in Hershey, Charter Bus Scranton facilitates long-distance sports travel with ease.
Long drives are far more enjoyable in a modern charter bus. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches are designed for highway comfort, featuring reclining seats, footrests, and onboard restrooms—a must for trips over two hours. Your group can start the tailgate early on the bus, enjoying snacks and music without the stress of navigating I-476 or the NJ Turnpike. For sports teams, the ride home is a chance to rest and recover. We can accommodate custom itineraries, including stops for food or sightseeing along the way. Don't let distance keep you from supporting your team; hop on a bus and turn the road trip into part of the victory celebration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Scranton Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for equipment?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for sporting equipment. They can easily accommodate hockey bags, baseball gear, golf clubs, football pads, and even large coolers and tents for tailgating. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for smaller personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are renting a minibus, storage space may be more limited to a rear compartment, so be sure to mention your equipment needs when you call 585-685-2181 so we can match you with the right vehicle.
Can the bus stay with us during the game?
Yes, you can reserve your bus for the entire duration of your event. If you book a round-trip or daily rental, your driver will drop you off at the venue and typically park in a designated bus lot nearby. You will have access to the bus if you need to retrieve items, though we recommend coordinating with your driver beforehand. Having the bus stay on-site is especially convenient for tailgating or if you plan to leave immediately after the game ends. Alternatively, for local trips, you can book a drop-off and a separate pick-up service.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your game schedule or event date finalized. For major sporting events, playoffs, or busy travel seasons (like spring and early summer), buses can book up quickly. Ideally, try to reserve your bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, Charter Bus Scranton strives to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible, so don't hesitate to call us even if your trip is just around the corner.
Do you offer transportation to away games in other cities?
Absolutely! Charter Bus Scranton serves not only the local Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area but also provides long-distance transportation to destinations throughout the Northeast and beyond. Whether your team is playing a tournament in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City, or Washington D.C., we can take you there. Long-distance charters come with the added benefit of amenities like onboard restrooms and comfortable reclining seats to make the journey as smooth as the game itself.
