A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Tailgate Like a Pro at the Independence Bowl
For college football fans, there is no event in Shreveport quite like the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl. Held annually at Independence Stadium (3301 Pershing Blvd, Shreveport, LA 71109), this postseason classic brings an electric atmosphere to the city. However, coordinating a convoy of cars for a massive tailgate party can be stressful. Parking lots fill up fast, and finding a spot where everyone can park together is nearly impossible. With a private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Shreveport, you can take your tailgating game to the next level.
Our full-size charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays, perfect for stowing grills, tents, folding chairs, coolers, and cornhole boards. You can load up all your supplies at your pickup location and head straight to the stadium without worrying about cramming gear into the trunk of a sedan. Plus, with a driver handling the navigation through the crowded streets surrounding the State Fairgrounds, your group can start the pre-game festivities the moment you board the bus. Enjoy your favorite hype music over the PA system, review the stats using onboard WiFi, and arrive at the stadium ready to cheer. After the game, you have a comfortable, climate-controlled ride waiting to take you home or to a celebratory dinner at a local favorite like Superior's Steakhouse.
Catch the Shreveport Mudbugs on Ice
Hockey in the South? You bet! The Shreveport Mudbugs, members of the North American Hockey League (NAHL), bring high-energy action to George's Pond at Hirsch Coliseum (3207 Pershing Blvd, Shreveport, LA 71109). Whether you are planning a group outing for your youth hockey league, a corporate team-building event, or just a fun night out with friends, a Mudbugs game is a must-do experience. The atmosphere at "The George" is rowdy and fun, but managing transportation for a large group can dampen the excitement if you are relying on rideshares or separate vehicles.
When you book a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Shreveport, you eliminate the hassle of parking fees and the struggle of finding your group in a crowded concourse. Your driver can drop you off right at the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the concessions or your seats. If you are a visiting team coming to play against the Mudbugs or participating in a tournament at a nearby rink, our buses offer plenty of room for bulky hockey bags and sticks. Athletes can relax in reclining seats and rest their legs before the puck drops. We serve sports teams of all levels, ensuring you have reliable transportation that operates on your schedule, not a bus schedule.
Support LSU Shreveport Pilots and Centenary College
Shreveport is home to several collegiate athletic programs that offer exciting sporting events year-round. Whether you are supporting the LSU Shreveport Pilots at the University Center (1 University Pl, Shreveport, LA 71115) or cheering on the Centenary College Gents and Ladies at the Gold Dome (2911 Centenary Blvd, Shreveport, LA 71104), Charter Bus Shreveport provides the perfect transportation solution for alumni groups, student organizations, and visiting teams. Collegiate sports travel requires precision and reliability, and we have years of experience moving teams to and from games, tournaments, and practices.
For alumni associations planning a reunion around a big basketball game or baseball series, a private shuttle keeps the spirit alive. You can visit the campus, catch the game, and then head out to the Red River District for post-game drinks without worrying about a designated driver. For collegiate teams traveling to Shreveport for away games, our charter buses offer the comfort necessary for peak performance. With amenities like power outlets to keep devices charged and onboard restrooms on larger models to minimize pit stops, players can focus on the game ahead while we handle the road. We can also arrange shuttle services for large tournaments hosted by these universities, moving spectators between hotels and venues efficiently.
High School Football: A Louisiana Tradition
In Louisiana, Friday night lights are a way of life. Shreveport boasts some of the most competitive high school football in the state, with teams facing off at venues like Lee Hedges Stadium (6115 E Kings Hwy, Shreveport, LA 71105) and Jerry Burton Memorial Stadium. Whether you are a band director organizing transportation for the marching band, a coach planning travel for the football team, or a booster club arranging a ride for the cheer squad, Charter Bus Shreveport has the fleet to accommodate you. We understand that student comfort is the top priority, which is why we work with fully dedicated drivers and maintain modern vehicles.
Marching bands, in particular, require significant space for instruments, uniforms, and props. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches offer ample under-bus storage to ensure delicate instruments are transported safely. For the football team, the spacious interiors allow players to review playbooks, watch game films on overhead monitors, or simply catch some sleep on the way back from an away game in Monroe or Alexandria. Don't leave your school's transportation to chance—trust the experts who know the local routes and stadium logistics inside and out.
Golf Outings and Tournaments in Sportsman's Paradise
Shreveport and the surrounding Bossier City area offer some incredible golfing opportunities for enthusiasts. From the pristine greens of The Club at Huntington Park (8300 Pines Rd, Shreveport, LA 71129) to the challenging layout of Querbes Park Golf Course, this region is a golfer's delight. If you are organizing a corporate golf retreat, a bachelor party outing, or a charity tournament, Charter Bus Shreveport can provide the upscale transportation your group deserves. Golf bags can be cumbersome, but our buses have plenty of room to store clubs securely, leaving the cabin free for your group to relax.
For larger tournaments, such as those held at the prestigious Southern Trace Country Club, we can provide shuttle services to transport spectators and participants from off-site parking or hotels. This keeps traffic congestion low at the course and adds a VIP touch to your event. After a long day on the links, there is nothing better than sinking into a plush seat in a climate-controlled bus and enjoying a cold drink while your driver takes you to dinner or back to your accommodations. We make golf trips easy, efficient, and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Casino Sportsbooks and Watch Parties
Sometimes the best way to enjoy sports is with a wager and a drink in hand. Shreveport and Bossier City are famous for their riverboat casinos, many of which feature state-of-the-art sportsbooks. Venues like Sam's Town Hotel & Casino (315 Clyde Fant Pkwy, Shreveport, LA 71101) and Bally's Shreveport offer massive screens and luxury seating to watch the Super Bowl, March Madness, or the Kentucky Derby. If you are planning a group trip to watch a major sporting event at a casino, a minibus rental from Charter Bus Shreveport is the smartest bet you can make.
By renting a private bus, you ensure that your entire group has a designated driver for the night. You can hop between casinos or head to the Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets across the river without waiting for rideshares or splitting the group up. Our buses can be equipped with WiFi and power outlets so you can track your fantasy teams or place mobile bets in real-time. Whether it is a bachelor party or a fantasy football league getaway, we provide the reliable transportation you need to enjoy Shreveport's nightlife and gaming scene responsibly.
Youth Sports Tournaments and Travel Teams
Shreveport is a hub for youth sports tournaments, hosting events at facilities like the Shreveport Dixieland Park and the Cargill Park Sports Complex. Organizing travel for a youth soccer, baseball, or softball team involves a lot of moving parts—equipment, energetic kids, and anxious parents. Charter Bus Shreveport simplifies this process by providing a single, consolidated mode of transport. Instead of a caravan of minivans getting separated in traffic, the whole team travels together, building camaraderie and team spirit before they even step onto the field.
Our charter buses are designed with long-distance travel in mind. If your team is traveling to Shreveport from Dallas, Little Rock, or Jackson for a weekend tournament, the journey becomes part of the fun. Kids can watch movies on the DVD players, while parents and coaches enjoy a stress-free ride. We can also provide shuttle services between the sports complex and your hotel, as well as trips to local attractions like Sci-Port Discovery Center or Shreveport Aquarium during downtime. Let us handle the logistics so you can focus on coaching and cheering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shreveport Sports Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Shreveport?
Charter bus rental prices vary based on several factors, including the date of your trip, the duration of the rental, the distance traveled, and the type of bus you choose. For example, rates may be higher during peak sports seasons or major holidays. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our reservation specialists at 318-666-8863 or using our online quote tool. We provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your specific itinerary, so you know exactly what to expect.
What amenities come standard on your buses?
Our standard full-size charter buses typically come equipped with reclining seats, air conditioning, overhead storage, and a PA system. Most also feature onboard restrooms, which are essential for longer trips. Additional amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and DVD players with monitors are widely available but not guaranteed on every single bus unless requested. If your group has specific needs—like watching game footage on the way to a tournament—please specify this when booking so we can secure the perfect vehicle for you.
How far in advance should I book my bus for a sporting event?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your game schedule or event dates finalized. For major events like the Independence Bowl or large youth tournaments, demand for buses in Shreveport can be high. Ideally, you should try to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, we understand that sports schedules can change, and our team is experienced in handling last-minute requests whenever possible.
Is there enough room for all our sports equipment?
Absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of renting a full-size charter bus is the storage capacity. These buses feature large undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate football pads, hockey bags, baseball gear, golf clubs, and coolers. Inside the cabin, overhead bins are perfect for personal items and smaller bags. If you are renting a minibus, storage space is more limited, so be sure to discuss your equipment load with our reservation specialist to ensure we recommend the right size vehicle for your team.
