A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Best Places to Watch the Game in Somerville
Not every game day involves a ticket to the stadium. Sometimes, the best atmosphere is found in a local pub surrounded by fellow fans, great food, and high-definition screens. Somerville boasts an incredible array of sports bars and pubs that rival any in downtown Boston. If you are organizing a large group outing to watch the Super Bowl, the World Series, or just a Sunday afternoon matchup, renting a minibus is the perfect way to hop between these local favorites responsibly.
One of the top destinations for sports purists is Parlor Sports (1 Beacon St, Somerville, MA 02143). Known for its authentic atmosphere and dedication to showing all the games—not just the local teams—this is a great spot for a dedicated fan group. Because it is a smaller venue, having a bus drop your group off right at the door eliminates the hassle of finding street parking in this busy neighborhood. Another Somerville staple is The Burren (247 Elm St, Somerville, MA 02144) in the heart of Davis Square. While known for its Irish music, it is also a fantastic spot to catch a game with a pint of Guinness. A charter bus rental allows your group to enjoy the lively Davis Square scene without worrying about the meter or the long walk to the T station. For those looking for a massive screen experience, Tony C's Sports Bar & Grill at Assembly Row (699 Assembly Row, Somerville, MA 02145) offers stadium-style seating and views of the Mystic River, making it an excellent drop-off point for a corporate sports outing.
Local Athletics: Cheering on the Somerville Highlanders
Community spirit runs deep in Somerville, and nothing showcases that better than the local high school athletics. The Somerville High School Highlanders draw crowds for football, soccer, and track and field events, particularly at the renovated Dilboy Stadium (110 Alewife Brook Pkwy, Somerville, MA 02144). If you are a visiting team traveling to Somerville for a tournament or a playoff game, a charter bus rental is essential for keeping your athletes rested and focused. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with ample undercarriage storage, meaning you can easily stow football pads, lacrosse sticks, soccer nets, and coolers without cramping the players' legroom.
For parents and booster clubs, organizing a shuttle to away games or home playoff matches at Dilboy Stadium ensures that everyone arrives together and on time. Instead of relying on a caravan of parents' cars that might get separated in traffic on Alewife Brook Parkway, a private bus rental keeps the cheering section united. We can even arrange for season-long transportation contracts, ensuring your team has a reliable ride for every single game on the schedule. With amenities like reclining seats and onboard climate control, players can relax pre-game and celebrate post-game in total comfort.
Tufts University Jumbos Game Day Transportation
Tufts University is a cornerstone of the Somerville community, and the Jumbos athletics program attracts fans, alumni, and visiting teams from all over the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). Whether you are heading to Ellis Oval / Zimman Field (161 College Ave, Medford/Somerville line, MA 02155) for a football Saturday or catching a basketball game at Cousens Gym, Charter Bus Rental Company Somerville has the perfect transportation solution. Alumni groups returning for homecoming often face parking shortages on campus; a private minibus rental solves this instantly by dropping your group off right at the tailgate zone.
We also specialize in transportation for visiting collegiate teams. We understand that collegiate athletes require a higher standard of travel. Our motorcoaches offer plenty of space for study or rest, with individual reading lights, power outlets to keep devices charged, and WiFi to review game film en route. Whether you are coming from Maine, Connecticut, or New York to play the Jumbos, we provide seamless transfers from your hotel to the athletic facilities. We can also coordinate shuttles for parents and fans staying at local hotels like the Holiday Inn Boston Bunker Hill Area (30 Washington St, Somerville, MA 02143), ensuring no one misses the opening kickoff or tip-off.
Easy Access to TD Garden and Fenway Park
One of the biggest advantages of staying in Somerville is its proximity to Boston's legendary sports venues without the premium price tag of downtown hotels. However, getting from Somerville to Fenway Park (4 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215) or TD Garden (100 Legends Way, Boston, MA 02114) can be tricky if you are relying on public transit with a large group or trying to park multiple cars. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Somerville bridges that gap perfectly. You can base your fan group in Somerville, enjoy pre-game food and drinks at local prices, and then take a private shuttle directly to the stadium gates.
Skip the crowded Green Line trains and the exorbitant parking fees near Kenmore Square or North Station. Your driver will drop you off within walking distance of the venue and be waiting for you at a designated spot once the game ends. This is particularly useful for corporate outings or large family reunions attending a Red Sox, Celtics, or Bruins game. You can keep the group together, enjoy the camaraderie on the ride over, and avoid the stress of gridlock traffic on O'Brien Highway or Storrow Drive. With a driver at the wheel, everyone can indulge in a stadium beer or two and get home comfortably.
Youth Sports and Tournament Travel in Somerville
Somerville is a hub for youth sports tournaments, utilizing excellent facilities like Trum Field (Broadway & Cedar St, Somerville, MA 02144) and Conway Park (550 Somerville Ave, Somerville, MA 02143). If you are a tournament organizer or a traveling youth team, Charter Bus Rental Company Somerville provides the safest and most efficient transportation options. We know that managing a group of excited young athletes requires patience and organization. Our buses are equipped with PA systems so coaches can make announcements easily, and onboard entertainment systems (DVD players and monitors) to keep kids occupied between games.
Comfort is our top priority. Parents can have peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands. Furthermore, the storage capacity of a charter bus is a game-changer for sports like hockey or baseball, where equipment bags are large and cumbersome. Instead of stuffing gear into the trunks of minivans, simply load everything into the bus's spacious luggage bays and enjoy a clutter-free cabin.
The Ultimate Tailgate Experience with Charter Bus Rental Company Somerville
Tailgating is a time-honored tradition, but it requires a lot of stuff: grills, coolers, tents, chairs, and cornhole boards. Trying to fit all of that into standard vehicles while also transporting your friends is a logistical nightmare. When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Somerville for a game at Gillette Stadium (an easy drive from Somerville!) or a local college matchup, you unlock the ultimate tailgating upgrade. Our buses offer massive undercarriage storage bays that can easily accommodate all your party gear.
Imagine rolling up to the stadium lot with your entire crew in one vehicle. You can set up your tailgate right next to the bus, providing a perfect home base with shade and air-conditioning if the weather gets too hot or cold. Use the bus's WiFi to stream pre-game coverage or blast your hype playlist through the premium sound system (check with your reservation agent about specific bus capabilities!). Plus, having a charter bus means you have a built-in designated driver for the ride home, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the festivities responsibly. It transforms a regular game day into an unforgettable event.
Post-Game Celebrations in Assembly Row
After the final whistle blows, the celebration doesn't have to end. Somerville's Assembly Row (355 Artisan Way, Somerville, MA 02145) is the premier destination for dining, shopping, and entertainment, making it the perfect spot for a post-game meal or team victory party. With dozens of restaurants ranging from casual burger joints to upscale dining, there is something to please every palate. However, parking at Assembly Row can be tight, especially on weekends.
A private bus rental allows your group to be dropped off right in the center of the action. Whether you are heading to River Bar for a drink by the Mystic River or taking the team for ice cream at J.P. Licks, drivers handle the navigation while you relax. If you are organizing a corporate outing that includes a game followed by dinner at Assembly, a shuttle bus keeps the itinerary tight and ensures no one gets lost between venues. It is the most seamless way to experience the best of Somerville's modern waterfront district.

Frequently Asked Questions About Somerville Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for sports equipment on a charter bus?
Full-size charter buses (56-passenger models) feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that are designed to hold large suitcases, making them perfect for bulky sports gear like hockey bags, football pads, and training equipment. Even our mid-sized minibuses often have overhead bins and rear storage compartments. When you call 781-715-2198 to book, let our agents know exactly what kind of equipment you are bringing so we can match you with the perfect bus size.
How far in advance should we book a bus for a major sporting event?
For major events like Red Sox games, Patriots games, or large tournaments, demand for charter buses is extremely high. We recommend booking your bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best pricing. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Somerville is known for our flexibility, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.
Do you provide transportation to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough?
Absolutely! We frequently transport fan groups and corporate clients from Somerville to Gillette Stadium for Patriots games, Revolution soccer matches, and major concerts. It is roughly a 45-minute to 1-hour drive from Somerville, depending on traffic. Renting a bus is highly recommended for Gillette events to avoid the notorious traffic jams on Route 1 and the high cost of parking multiple vehicles.
What happens if the game goes into overtime and runs late?
We understand that sports are unpredictable! When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Somerville, your itinerary dictates the schedule. However, if a game goes into overtime, drivers are flexible. We recommend building a little buffer time into your initial rental agreement to account for overtime, traffic, or post-game celebrations. If you exceed your contracted time significantly, additional hourly charges may apply, but we will never leave your group stranded.
