Game-Day Bus Rentals to Ohio Stadium and Columbus Sports Venues
When 102,780 Buckeyes fans descend on Ohio Stadium (411 Woody Hayes Dr, Columbus, OH 43210) for a home game, Woody Hayes Drive closes to general traffic, Olentangy River Road backs up for miles, and rideshare zones sit far from the gates. One bus keeps your whole group together, gets everyone there on the same plan, and means nobody is hunting for parking or waiting in a surge-priced rideshare line after the final whistle. The same logic applies at Nationwide Arena (200 W Nationwide Blvd, Columbus, OH 43215) for Blue Jackets games and at Lower.com Field (96 Columbus Group Way, Columbus, OH 43211) for Columbus Group matches — Arena District streets fill fast on event nights, and one bus beats splitting your group across five cars each time.
Compare game-day buses and pricing right now through the online quote tool, or call 380-266-4040 to lock in your date!
On Ohio State event days, Woody Hayes Drive can close between Cannon Drive and Tuttle Park Place before the event and remain closed through outbound traffic; your bus avoids the campus bottleneck by following the university's Ohio Stadium traffic and bus-impact instructions.

This Is the Easiest Way to Book Prom and School Event Transportation in Columbus
This is the time of year every party bus in Columbus gets booked fast — prom season runs April through May across Columbus City Schools, Dublin, Hilliard, Westerville, Upper Arlington, Gahanna, New Albany, Worthington, and every surrounding district, and the demand is enormous. Columbuscoachbuscompany.com lets you compare party buses, minibuses, and charter buses from a network of independent operators serving central Ohio, so you're not stuck with whatever one company has left on the calendar.

Absolutely! The Arnold Sports Festival draws more than 200,000 attendees to Columbus each March, with events spread across the Greater Columbus Convention Center and venues throughout the city. Downtown hotels fill up and convention-area streets get congested across the entire event weekend.
The next festival runs March 4–7, 2027, so your bus should be secured before the four-day return fills downtown hotels and convention-area streets; the official Arnold Sports Festival 2027 dates are already posted. Book your Arnold Sports Festival bus two to three months in advance — availability tightens significantly as the event approaches. Fill out the quote form or call 380-266-4040 to compare options for your group!

Yes! John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) (4600 International Gateway, Columbus, OH 43219) is approximately 10 miles east of downtown Columbus. A charter bus or minibus handles airport pickups and drop-offs for groups of any size — no splitting into multiple cars, no surge pricing, and no hunting for parking.
Charter buses use the designated commercial vehicle zones on the arrivals level. Fill out the quote form to compare available airport transportation options for your group, or call 380-266-4040 to set up your CMH transfer!
For a CMH pickup, you meet at Arrivals level 1, cross the Arrivals drive, and walk to the ground transportation area between the columns on the right; your bus uses the John Glenn Columbus International Airport ground transportation area instead of leaving you to hunt for a curbside meeting point.
CMH does not allow curbside parking, so the bus waits in one of the free cell phone waiting lots until everyone has their bags and is ready; then your bus pulls forward for a clean pickup through the airport's John Glenn Columbus International Airport pickup and drop-off instructions.
