Ohio State Buckeyes Game-Day Bus Rentals to Ohio Stadium
Bringing 40 or 50 Buckeye fans to Ohio Stadium (411 Woody Hayes Dr, Columbus, OH 43210) in a caravan of personal cars means navigating SR-315 backed up for miles, hunting for a permit-only parking spot, and making that same crawl home after the final whistle. A charter bus sidesteps all of it. OSU manages motorcoach parking through a permit system — buses park in Lot 91 on the Woody Hayes Drive side and Lot 97 near Lane Avenue, with permits reserved in advance through OSU Transportation & Parking at 614-292-9341, since day-of bus parking is simply not available.
Lots open four to five hours before kickoff. For oversized vehicles that do not fit a standard parking space, Ohio State directs buses to RV parking near the Schottenstein Center; there is no dedicated stadium drop-off, and the vehicle must remain parked for the event under the Ohio Stadium traffic and parking instructions. Compare buses from the network and lock in your seats before The Game books everything out!
Columbus Crew Match-Day Shuttle Buses to Lower.com Field
View instant online quotes for match-day transportation to Lower.com Field (96 Columbus Group Way, Columbus, OH 43215) and get your whole supporters' group there together — scarves, flags, and all! Charter bus drop-off is on the north side of the stadium along Columbus Group Way, with the bus staging in the Scioto Audubon Metro Park area or along Battelle Blvd between the opening whistle and full time. Rideshare pickup is tucked into a designated zone near Gate 3, which means anyone relying on an app faces a longer walk and surge pricing after the match.
Columbus Group Way closes to vehicles beginning four hours before the match, so your bus gets the group in before the western approach turns pedestrian-only; see the Columbus Group matchday transportation and parking guide for the closure and arrival map. One bus, one drop-off, one pickup — and the celebration keeps rolling on the ride home. Compare minibuses and charter buses for Group match days in seconds!
Columbus Blue Jackets Game Night Bus Rentals to Nationwide Arena
Start your Blue Jackets night the right way — on a party bus with the pregame energy already running — instead of circling downtown Columbus hunting for a parking spot. Nationwide Arena (200 W Nationwide Blvd, Columbus, OH 43215) has no dedicated on-site charter bus parking; buses drop off on West Street and stage in the Short North surface lots or near the Greater Columbus Convention Center while the game is on. I-670 westbound into downtown backs up hard on game nights, and rideshare pickup is at McFerson Commons near Gate 3 — a walk most fans would rather skip after three periods.
Compare buses for your next Blue Jackets game and book in minutes!
Columbus Clippers and Schottenstein Center Sporting Event Shuttles
Look no further for group transportation to Huntington Park (330 Huntington Park Ln, Columbus, OH 43215) for a Columbus Clippers game or to Value City Arena at the Schottenstein Center (555 Borror Dr, Columbus, OH 43210) for Ohio State basketball, hockey, Big Ten tournaments, or NCAA events. Charter bus drop-off at Huntington Park is directly in front of the main gate on Huntington Park Lane, with no bus parking offered at the ballpark. At the Schottenstein Center, drop-off runs along Borror Drive, with bus parking coordinated through OSU Transportation & Parking in advance. Busrentalcolumbus.com makes comparing your options fast and easy — fill out one form and see what's available for your event date!
Arnold Sports Festival and Major Columbus Event Transportation
Hit the Arnold Sports Festival — one of the world's largest multi-sport events, drawing more than 200,000 spectators to the Greater Columbus Convention Center (400 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215) and the Schottenstein Center each March — without turning your group's travel into a downtown Columbus parking nightmare. With 60,000-plus athletes competing across dozens of sports over a long weekend, every surface lot and parking garage in the Short North and Convention Center district fills fast. A charter bus drops your group curbside and handles the return pickup, so nobody misses a single event.
The Arnold is also one of the biggest bus-demand weekends of the Columbus year, so compare your options early and book well ahead of the March dates!

Ohio State assigns motorcoaches to Lot 91 on the Woody Hayes Drive side of the stadium and Lot 97 near Lane Avenue. Both require an advance permit purchased through OSU Transportation & Parking at 614-292-9341 — day-of bus parking is not available at Ohio Stadium. Lots open four to five hours before kickoff.
Confirm your lot assignment when you reserve your permit, since assignments can shift by event, and check the OSU parking page before game day for any updated road closure information around Woody Hayes Drive and Olentangy River Road.
Charter buses drop off on West Street near the arena's main entrance. There is no dedicated on-site charter bus parking at Nationwide Arena, so buses stage in Short North surface lots or near the Greater Columbus Convention Center between drop-off and pickup. Rideshare pickup is at McFerson Commons near Gate 3.
Confirm current drop-off access on the Blue Jackets arena directions page before your game night, since event-specific arrangements can vary.
Book at least three to six months in advance for most Ohio State home games, and stretch that to six months or more for The Game against Michigan — the single highest-demand transportation day of the year in Columbus. Prom season in April and May, the Arnold Sports Festival in early March, and Big Ten basketball tournaments also tighten availability across the Columbus market fast. Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates and fewer vehicles to choose from, so the earlier you compare and book, the better your options and your price.
Absolutely! Charter bus drop-off at Lower.com Field is on the north side of the stadium along Columbus Group Way, with buses staging in the Scioto Audubon Metro Park area or along Battelle Blvd during the match.
