Local planning
Pickup side. Tempe requests most often begin in Mill Avenue District, Downtown Tempe, Tempe Marketplace and South Tempe. Name the building and the entrance. Staging space and approach angle decide the pickup more than the postcode does.
Where groups go. Destinations named for Tempe include Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe Town Lake, Desert Financial Arena, Tempe Center for the Arts and Tempe Marketplace. Tell us which one you are going to and we will sort the staging with them.
Book these early. Local calendars around Tempe Festival of the Arts, Ironman Arizona, ASU football and New Year's Eve Block Party on Mill Avenue concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Availability tightens around them, so get the date held rather than shopping it.
Routes we run often. Mill Avenue bar crawl; Tempe Town Lake to Old Town Scottsdale; PHX Airport to ASU/Tempe hotels. Give us the full sequence rather than the highlights; the last stop is usually the one that moves the number.
Airport groups. Tempe trips connect to PHX. Provide flight numbers, terminal, bag counts, and one group contact; the driver meets at the commercial-vehicle zone, which is usually not the passenger curb.
Beyond Tempe. Trips that continue into Avondale, Buckeye, Casa Grande or Catalina Foothills are quoted as one itinerary. The Arizona guide covers statewide staging and long-distance planning.
Sun Devil Stadium and Desert Financial Arena set the schedule for game-day groups in Tempe: the official start time fixes the arrival window, and the exit crowd fixes the pickup. Ask the venue where commercial vehicles stage, agree on one post-event meeting corner that everyone can find, and give the driver a 30–45 minute cushion after the final whistle rather than a fixed minute.
For a Tempe night out anchored on Mill Avenue bars and restaurants and Mill Avenue bar crawl, fix the stop order and the last pickup time before requesting a quote, and name one group contact for the driver. Curb space is not guaranteed at busy venues, so agree on a pickup corner a short walk away, and check each venue's group entry policy so a bus full of people is not turned away at the door.
Tempe Festival of the Arts and Innings Festival and other Tempe events come with street closures and organizer transportation notices; read them before locking a route. Choose a meeting point outside the heaviest foot traffic, set a firm departure deadline for the group, and expect traffic to compress well before the published start time.
Vehicle fit
Pick by confirmed headcount, then by luggage and trip length. Your contract names the exact vehicle, its seating capacity and what is on board.
| Group size | Usual fit | Why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–14 passengers | Stretch limo or Sprinter van | Tight downtown streets, valet-style arrivals, and shorter time blocks. | See limousines |
| 14–24 passengers | Mid-size party bus | The most-requested size on our own sites; standing room, sound, and a restroom-free footprint that fits most venue curbs. | See party buses |
| 24–40 passengers | Large party bus or mini coach | Wedding shuttles, corporate transfers, and big birthday groups that need everyone on one vehicle. | Compare large buses |
| 40+ passengers | Full-size coach bus | Luggage bays, restrooms, and highway comfort for long days, tournaments, and multi-city itineraries. | See coach buses |
How pricing is built—hours, mileage, day of week, season, stops—is explained on the pricing page. Every quote is trip-specific and all-inclusive.
From our own booking data
Tempe does not yet have 25 company-owned-site requests with a usable city field, so we do not publish Tempe-only group size or lead-time figures. These nationwide numbers still apply to how groups size vehicles and when they request a quote.
Four hours is the usual booking length on a stretch limousine, and that holds across 1,361 quotes we have written for the category.

Questions
Yes. We run trips in Tempe and right across Arizona with our own buses and our own chauffeurs. Booking is quick and it all happens by phone, live chat, or email, so you never have to drive anywhere to sort it out. Tell us the date, where you are starting, and where you are headed, and we will get you a price. The agreement is signed electronically once you are happy with it.
Every Tempe quote is priced for the specific trip: vehicle type, date and day of week, hours, mileage, group size, number of stops, and season all change the number. Quotes are all-inclusive—driver gratuity, taxes, fuel, and ordinary fees are in the written price; tolls and any specifically disclosed exceptions are listed separately. Ask for a written quote rather than relying on a range.
Party buses on the Bus 2 Ride fleet pages seat 8–45 passengers, limousines seat 8–22, shuttle and coach buses run 8–56. Pick the size above your confirmed count. Bags need somewhere to go, and for 8 to 14 a Sprinter is usually the easier fit.
Yes. Multi-stop itineraries are the most common request in Tempe—for example, Mill Avenue bar crawl or Tempe Town Lake to Old Town Scottsdale. List every stop in order with an expected wait time at each so the quote covers the full time block rather than a point-to-point estimate.
Yes. For PHX transfers, share flight numbers, terminal, passenger and bag counts, and one group contact. Airports assign commercial-vehicle pickup zones that differ from the passenger curb, so the driver will confirm the exact meeting point, and the quote should state how flight delays and wait time are handled.
ASU football season (Sept–Nov), Tempe Festival of the Arts (Dec & Mar), and graduation (May) are peak. Across Bus 2 Ride's own sites, groups request quotes a median of 30 days ahead, but Friday and Saturday dates around major local events tighten first. For Tempe Festival of the Arts and Ironman Arizona, request a quote as soon as the date is fixed—4–8 weeks out is comfortable, and wedding groups typically ask three months or more ahead.
No. Sending the form starts it. We check what we have free on your date, send a written price, and the bus is yours once you sign. Roughly half up front, the rest before the trip — your agreement spells out the exact terms for Tempe.
