Rent a Bus to Desert Sun Stadium: The Complete Desert Sun Stadium Transportation Guide

Eight Things to Know Before You Go to Desert Sun Stadium

• The stadium address is 1280 W Desert Sun Drive, Yuma, AZ 85365. Desert Sun Stadium is owned and operated by the City of Yuma, and each event promoter sets its own vehicle traffic plan — name the event and date when you request the quote and the coach is matched to the lane that event is using.
• Capacity is 7,500 for the stadium itself, but Midnight at the Oasis spills well beyond those walls into downtown Yuma and the Yuma Civic Center, drawing over 85,000 visitors annually. That scale of attendance on Yuma's surface streets is why group transportation planning matters as much here as at any major stadium.
• I-8 and US-95 are the two highways that matter. I-8 runs east-west straight through Yuma — it is the most direct link to San Diego (approximately 170 miles west, 2.5–3 hours) and Tucson (approximately 240 miles east, 3.5 hours). US-95 runs north out of Yuma toward Quartzsite, while the Phoenix run uses I-8 east to Gila Bend, AZ-85 north to Buckeye and I-10 east (approximately 185 miles, 3–3.5 hours).
• On-site parking exists but fills fast on major event days. The stadium's surface lot along Desert Sun Drive handles most standard event-day parking, with overflow into adjacent areas. For Midnight at the Oasis weekend, the surrounding blocks see significant congestion hours before the event opens.
• YCAT stops running before the encore. Weekday buses run 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday buses 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., per YCAT's own service hours. Every evening concert, MMA card and Saturday night show at Desert Sun Stadium ends after that, and the chartered bus is the vehicle still in the lot when the lights come up.
• The nearest listed stop is Avenue A & 32nd Street, a stop on YCAT's Green Route 4 — a walk from the stadium entrance rather than a door-to-door drop. That walk is workable at 7 PM in February; it is a different proposition on a 95-degree April evening.
• Rideshare in Yuma is limited. A thin vehicle pool plus post-event surge pricing is the most consistent reason groups charter a bus to Desert Sun Stadium rather than relying on app rides. After a packed Saturday event, available vehicles thin out fast and wait times can stretch well past 30 minutes.
• Yuma International Airport (YUM) is a small regional airport, about 4 miles east of the stadium. Most groups flying in from the East Coast or Midwest connect through Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX), roughly 185 miles north. Groups from Southern California regularly fly into San Diego International (SAN), roughly 170 miles west on I-8.

Why Rent a Bus to Desert Sun Stadium?

Organizing group travel to a Yuma event involves a version of the same problem each time: the city is geographically isolated at the junction of Arizona, California, and Sonora, which makes it easy to reach by highway and surprisingly difficult to leave in a large group after an event ends. A group of 25 people driving separately from San Diego or Phoenix to Desert Sun Stadium means 10 or 12 cars, 12 separate parking decisions, 12 departures, and the near-certainty that half the group is on a different block from the other half when the post-event rideshare scramble starts. That's before anyone tries to find a car at 11 PM in a small desert city after a sold-out show.

A charter bus rental to Desert Sun Stadium consolidates all of it. One pickup address, one departure time, one vehicle that handles the 170-mile I-8 corridor from San Diego or the I-10 and AZ-85 leg down from Phoenix, and one climate-controlled ride that keeps everybody together from the first song to the drive home. The bus loads your group's coolers and event gear in the undercarriage bays, so nothing rides on somebody's lap.

And because the whole group is on one vehicle, no one has to drive — which means the evening belongs to everyone, not just the people who weren't volunteered to be the designated car.

Renting a charter bus, party bus, or minibus to Desert Sun Stadium with Yumacharterbuscompany.com is the cleanest transportation plan for any group bigger than a couple of cars.

Charter Bus Pickup & Drop-Off at Desert Sun Stadium

Desert Sun Stadium sits along Desert Sun Drive on the west side of Yuma, accessible from I-8 via 4th Avenue north or from 32nd Street. The venue's surface parking lot runs adjacent to the stadium, and bus curbside drop-off takes place along Desert Sun Drive near the main entrance. Because each event promoter sets its own vehicle staging plan, the exact drop-off lane and bus parking area can shift by event — a Midnight at the Oasis bus plan looks different from a mid-week MMA card.

Name the event and date when you request the quote so the coach arrives at the lane that event is actually using.

For high-attendance events like Midnight at the Oasis — three days across the stadium, downtown Yuma and the Yuma Civic Center, with Saturday running 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. — the surrounding surface streets see significant congestion, particularly on 4th Avenue approaching from I-8 and along Desert Sun Drive itself. A bus handles that approach and stages after drop-off without your group needing to navigate any of it separately. The Caballeros de Yuma, who run the festival, take event questions at (928) 343-1715, and the plan for a major festival weekend and a regular concert night are not the same.

Every Transit, Rideshare & Bus Point at Desert Sun Stadium

Desert Sun Stadium sits inside Yuma's city grid, so most transportation options start or end at a street corner rather than a transit hub. Here are the staging points that matter, each with the logistics rule that governs it.

Desert Sun Stadium — Main Entrance & Curbside Drop-Off

The primary bus access point is the curbside along Desert Sun Drive near the main entrance, with the adjacent surface lot handling standard event-day parking. Desert Sun Stadium has a capacity of 7,500 and is owned and operated by the City of Yuma; it was originally built in 1970 as the spring training home of the San Diego Padres and was converted to a soccer-specific layout in 2015. Give the event name and date when you request the quote and the coach is matched to that event's staging plan — arriving without it is the most common planning miss for buses at multi-purpose venues like this one.

The rules inside the gate matter as much as the lane outside it. For Midnight at the Oasis, the festival's official event page is blunt: “No alcohol can be brought on to the complex premises,” and “One unopened water bottle per person will be allowed. No other outside food or drinks are permitted.” Spectators are also told to “bring your own chair, or blanket, or be prepared to sit/stand in the grass.” The cooler, the folding chairs and the jackets ride in the bays and stay there, fifty feet from the gate, and nobody walks back across a dark lot to a car to fetch them.

Event rules get revised year to year, so read that page again in the week before your date.

• Drop-Off & Pickup: curbside on Desert Sun Drive near the main entrance
• Bus Parking: surface lot along Desert Sun Drive — confirm staging area and permit requirements with the venue
• Highway access: I-8 to 4th Avenue north, or I-8 to 32nd Street east to Desert Sun Drive

Address: 1280 W Desert Sun Drive, Yuma, AZ 85365  Phone: (928) 343-1715 (Caballeros de Yuma, the Midnight at the Oasis organizer)

Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) — Nearest Stop & the Evening Gap

Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) runs fixed-route bus service across Yuma County, and the stop list for its Green Route 4 includes Avenue A & 32nd Street near the stadium, along with a stop at Yuma International Airport. Here is the detail that ends the transit conversation for most event groups. YCAT publishes service Monday through Friday between 5:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. and Saturday between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., and the route pages state plainly that there is “No transit service on Sunday” or on nine named holidays.

Every evening concert, MMA card and Saturday night community event at Desert Sun Stadium finishes after the last bus has run, and the chartered coach is the vehicle still sitting on Desert Sun Drive at 11 p.m. Timetables do get revised, so look at the route page again in the week before your date.

• Nearest stop: Avenue A & 32nd Street, on Green Route 4
• Other routes on 32nd Street: Purple Route 6A and Yellow Route 95, at 32nd Street & Avenue B
• Last bus: 8:30 p.m. weekdays, 6:30 p.m. Saturdays — evening events are not served
• Service days: Monday–Saturday; no service on Sunday or on nine named holidays

Rideshare Staging — The Post-Event Surge Problem

Rideshare works in Yuma, but Yuma is not Phoenix — the available vehicle pool is a fraction of what a major metro can summon, and after a sold-out event at Desert Sun Stadium, surge pricing and wait times climb steeply. The staging zone shifts by event, too. For a group of 20 or 30 people, splitting into several rideshare vehicles adds cost and breaks the group into fragments.

A charter bus parks adjacent to the stadium grounds and is right there when your group walks out — no surge, no hunting for the right car in the dark on Desert Sun Drive.

Yuma International Airport (YUM) — For Arriving Groups

Yuma International Airport (YUM) (2191 E 32nd Street, Yuma, AZ 85365) sits about 4 miles east of Desert Sun Stadium along 32nd Street, and the airport's own directions put the terminal parking entrance on Pacific Avenue just off 32nd Street — that is the turn your group's pickup is set to, not the passenger drop lane. The airport's contact page lists a terminal open seven days a week from 4:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. and operations staff on (928) 726-5882, which is what a red-eye arrival hangs on. It is a small regional airport with limited commercial service, shared with Marine Corps Air Station Yuma — most groups flying in from the East Coast, Midwest, or Northwest connect through Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), about 185 miles away, or fly into San Diego International Airport (SAN), about 170 miles west on I-8.

A charter bus collecting your group at YUM, PHX, or SAN and running directly to Yuma is the smoothest airport-to-event transfer available, especially for groups arriving from multiple origin cities on the same day.

How to Get to Desert Sun Stadium: Every Option Compared

Four realistic options get a group to Desert Sun Stadium, and they are not close on cost, post-event ease, or what actually happens when an 85,000-person festival weekend ends. Straight answer: for one or two people attending a weekday matinee, driving makes sense. For anything past a handful of cars at an evening event, the coordination cost tips decisively toward one bus.

The honest read: YCAT is off the table for any evening event, and rideshare is a workable solo option that gets expensive and unpredictable fast as the group grows. That's the group the rest of this guide is written for.

What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for Desert Sun Stadium?

A Sprinter van fits up to 14 people, a minibus 15 to 35, a party bus 15 to 50, and a full-size charter bus 40 to 56. One size doesn't fit every Yuma run — a 12-person local group heading to a Friday concert is a very different trip from 45 people making the 170-mile run from San Diego on I-8 for Midnight at the Oasis. Here is how the fleet breaks down for a Desert Sun Stadium event.

Two things settle the vehicle question: your headcount and your origin. A local Yuma group of 20 heading to a concert can ride comfortably in a 15–35 passenger minibus with powerful A/C and reclining seats. For a group of 45 making the 2.5-hour run from San Diego, a full-size charter bus with an onboard restroom and deep undercarriage storage for luggage turns a highway trip into a comfortable experience instead of an endurance event.

ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network at no extra charge — mention it when you request your quote and give at least 48 hours' notice before your departure date.

Desert Sun Stadium Bus Rental Prices

Yumacharterbuscompany.com puts quotes in front of you online in under 30 seconds, side by side, before you commit to anything. There is no single sticker price because the quote is built from a handful of clear variables:

• Vehicle size — a 56-passenger charter bus and a Sprinter van price differently.
• Total hours — how long the vehicle is dedicated to your group, including travel time to and from Yuma, waiting during the event, and the return run.
• Date and event — a mid-week show prices differently than Midnight at the Oasis weekend, when every vehicle in the Yuma area is competing for the same dates.
• Mileage and origin — a pickup in downtown Yuma costs less than a pickup at Phoenix Sky Harbor or San Diego International for a group driving down for the weekend.

For real ranges to anchor your budget: Sprinter vans run $180–$310/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $180–$310/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses and minibuses run $180–$395/hour; 35–50 passenger vehicles run $265–$520/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $180–$310/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day for long-haul runs from Phoenix or San Diego. Split across 30, 40, or 50 people, the per-head cost routinely beats the alternative of separate cars paying separately for gas, parking, and post-event rides back to wherever everyone is staying. Rather than calling five different local companies for the same date and waiting on callbacks, compare pricing from a network of bus companies serving Yuma through one quick form and you'll have prices side by side in under 30 seconds.

Getting to Desert Sun Stadium: Routes, Traffic & Timing

I-8 is the highway your group is on, whichever direction you're coming from — and the 4th Avenue exit north into Yuma is where event-night congestion concentrates. Yuma sits at the far southwestern corner of Arizona, with I-8 running east-west through the city and US-95 cutting north toward Quartzsite. For out-of-town groups, the drive times below reflect off-peak conditions — on a Midnight at the Oasis Friday night, build in an extra 30 to 60 minutes approaching Yuma from the west, as the I-8 corridor from El Centro sees event-driven slow-down near the California-Arizona border area.

For Midnight at the Oasis and other high-attendance events, 4th Avenue between I-8 and the stadium area sees real event-night congestion that Yuma's city streets can't easily reroute around. One bus takes that approach once, rather than a dozen separate cars working out the same detour on their phones at the same moment. Groups coming down from the Valley often gather the west-side half of the party on the way, since a Buckeye charter bus rental is already on I-10 at the AZ-85 turn for Gila Bend.

And for a long-haul run from San Diego or Phoenix, the charter bus is booked as a block of hours covering the full day — travel time out, event window, and travel time back — so there is no scramble to move everyone on a tight clock mid-evening.

Visiting Desert Sun Stadium From Out of Town? Airports, Hotels & Long-Haul Runs

For Midnight at the Oasis, marquee concerts, and MMA events that draw regionally, a substantial slice of the attendance flies or drives in from well outside Yuma. Yuma International Airport (YUM) is the closest airport, about 4 miles from the stadium, but its commercial service is limited and most carriers route through Phoenix or connect to major hubs. Groups coming from the East Coast or Midwest nearly always land at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and make the roughly 3-hour run on I-10 west, AZ-85 south and I-8 west.

Groups from Southern California frequently fly into San Diego International Airport (SAN) and take I-8 east — a 2.5-to-3-hour corridor that passes El Centro about 50 miles out, where an El Centro charter bus rental can collect the Imperial Valley half of the group on the same run into Yuma.

A single charter bus collecting your whole group at PHX or SAN and running directly to Yuma is the cleanest solution for a multi-origin event group. One vehicle picks everyone up at baggage claim, nobody splits into rental cars, and the bus is ready to run the return trip as soon as the event ends. Groups staying overnight near the stadium will find the hotel corridor along East 32nd Street and the I-8 frontage road, which puts most properties on the same 32nd Street line the bus is already running.

How a Charter Bus Pickup Works at YUM, PHX, and SAN

The protocol differs at each airport, and knowing it before your group lands is the difference between a smooth curb pickup and a 20-minute staging scramble. At Yuma International Airport (YUM), the terminal is small and the ground transportation area is immediately outside baggage claim. Confirm the charter bus pickup zone with the airport at (928) 726-5882 before your group arrives — and apply the universal rule: don't call the bus forward until your entire group is together with bags in hand.

A bus arriving before the group is assembled uses curb time that isn't there to spare.

At Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX), the airport runs two passenger terminals — Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 — so give the terminal with the flight number when you set the pickup, because the approach differs between them. PHX also lists overnight lane restrictions on Sky Harbor Boulevard at Terminal 3 that remain in place indefinitely for construction of the new north concourse, plus a single-lane stretch of westbound Sky Harbor Boulevard, on its roadway restrictions page; the coach absorbs that with a wider pickup window instead of a dozen cars each discovering it separately. Restrictions there change with the construction schedule, so it is worth a fresh look close to your date.

At San Diego International (SAN), ground transportation is handled at the Transportation Plazas “located in front of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2,” per SAN's ground transportation page. At all three airports, the principle is the same: your whole group, bags claimed, standing at the agreed-upon spot, before anyone makes the call to bring the bus forward.

Tips for Going to Desert Sun Stadium

Yuma throws its own logistics challenges that differ from a bigger stadium city. Here is what groups consistently get caught out on, and what the bus takes off your hands:

• Confirm the event-specific parking plan before you arrive. Desert Sun Stadium is a multi-purpose venue and the surface lot configuration shifts between concerts, MMA events, festivals, and soccer matches. The lot along Desert Sun Drive handles standard event parking, but bus staging areas and overflow routing differ by event. Give the event name and date on the quote request well in advance — not the morning of — and the coach is matched to that event's staging plan.
• Book transportation months out for Midnight at the Oasis. The Midnight at the Oasis Nostalgia Festival, presented by the Caballeros de Yuma on the first full weekend of March — March 5 through 7, 2027 — draws over 85,000 visitors and 1,000-plus vehicles. It depletes Yuma's regional transportation inventory faster than any other date on the calendar. Book at least two to three months ahead — ideally more — for any vehicle you want at a workable price.
• Plan for the desert heat, especially in spring. Yuma's event season runs heavy in February through April, when daytime highs climb through the 80s and 90s before summer pushes past 100°F. The stadium's surface lot has no shade and afternoon events can be brutally warm. A climate-controlled bus ride waiting for your group when you exit is meaningfully better than flagging down a rideshare on hot asphalt.
• The lot can fill before you expect it to. For Midnight at the Oasis, spectators and vehicle displayers arrive hours before the event opens to set up their displays. If your group is driving separately and shows up near a standard arrival time, you may be parking considerably farther from the entrance than planned. A bus drops your group curbside and handles its own staging.
• YCAT does not serve evening events. Weekday service ends at 8:30 p.m., Saturday service at 6:30 p.m., and there is no Sunday service at all. Do not plan public transit as a fallback for any night show at Desert Sun Stadium — it is not there when you need it.

What's Coming Up at Desert Sun Stadium

Desert Sun Stadium runs a full event calendar, and each category has its own transportation profile. Here are the major recurring events that groups book charter buses for:

• Midnight at the Oasis Nostalgia Festival (first full weekend of March, annually — March 5 through 7, 2027). A three-day classic car show — over 85,000 visitors, 1,000-plus vintage vehicles, live rock and roll, tribute bands, food vendors, and beer gardens spread across Desert Sun Stadium, downtown Yuma and the Yuma Civic Center, and where to set a group down at the Yuma Civic Center is its own question on that weekend. First launched in 1993 and presented by the Caballeros de Yuma, this is the single biggest draw on Yuma's calendar and the date that depletes regional transportation supply the fastest. Book months in advance.
• Outdoor concerts. Desert Sun Stadium hosts touring artists and regional acts across the event season. Concert nights generate street-level congestion on 4th Avenue and Desert Sun Drive and put the most strain on Yuma's already-thin post-event rideshare supply.
• MMA events. MMA cards run late into the evening and can create significant post-event congestion on surrounding surface streets well after midnight.
• Community celebrations. The City of Yuma uses the stadium for large civic events that draw broadly from Yuma County, San Diego County, and the Sonoran region.
• Soccer matches and youth tournaments. The stadium's 2015 conversion to a soccer-specific layout brought regional club and high school tournaments that generate charter bus bookings for traveling teams from across Arizona and Southern California — equipment bays handle the gear.

Whichever event brings your group to Desert Sun Stadium, the booking logic is the same: the right vehicle goes to whoever asks first. Call 928-955-4008 to lock in your date!

Types of Groups Who Book Bus Rentals to Desert Sun Stadium

Different groups, same goal: get everyone there together without turning the logistics into the main event. A few of the runs booked most often for Desert Sun Stadium and Yuma events:

• Classic car clubs and Midnight at the Oasis groups. Fan clubs and car enthusiast organizations from San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, and beyond that make the annual pilgrimage every March — the bus hauls spectators while the show cars get trailered in separately, or the whole group rides together as a spectator group making the I-8 run from the coast.
• Military community groups. Marine Corps Air Station Yuma is one of the largest employers in the region, and unit events and community gatherings regularly generate organized transportation requests for concerts and major events at the stadium.
• Youth sports teams and tournaments. Soccer and multi-sport events at Desert Sun Stadium draw traveling teams from across Arizona and Southern California — a charter bus with undercarriage storage handles the bags and equipment without anyone riding with gear on their lap.
• Family reunions and milestone groups. Families spread across Phoenix, San Diego, and Yuma who converge on a shared event and want one comfortable bus rather than a cross-state caravan of rental cars that all arrive at different times.

Headed somewhere else in the Yuma area on the same trip? A bus can cover multiple stops across Yuma group transportation services — from downtown restaurants to the Colorado River to the Cocopah Casino resort area — on one itinerary you set when you request the quote.

How to Book a Bus to Desert Sun Stadium

Booking a bus to Desert Sun Stadium takes three steps, and the whole thing can be done in under 30 seconds online or over the phone with a live agent at 928-955-4008:

1. Request a quote with your group size, pickup location, event and date, and how much total travel time you need to cover — especially relevant for groups making the long-haul run from Phoenix or San Diego.
2. Confirm the vehicle, the drop point, and staging. The right vehicle gets locked in based on your headcount and route, and the current drop-off and staging plan gets verified for your specific event date at Desert Sun Stadium.
3. Set your departure and post-event pickup window. You control the schedule — departure time, event pickup time, and the return window are all set in advance so the bus is staged and ready when you walk out the gate.

How many hours should the bus be booked for? For a local Yuma pickup 15 minutes from the stadium, a block of three to four hours covers the event and pickup window. For a group making the 170-mile run from San Diego or the 185-mile run from Phoenix, the full day — travel time out, event window, and travel time back — is what the quote is built on.

That block covers the whole trip door to door without anyone watching a clock mid-event. Because transportation to Desert Sun Stadium is provided by independent operators, change and cancellation terms are set by the operator running your specific trip — confirm those terms in writing when you book, especially for a date far out like Midnight at the Oasis weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions About Desert Sun Stadium Bus Rentals

Where does a charter bus drop off at Desert Sun Stadium?

Charter buses drop off curbside along Desert Sun Drive near the main entrance to the stadium. Because each event promoter sets its own vehicle staging plan, the exact drop-off lane and bus parking area can shift between events. Give the event name and date when you request the quote and the coach is matched to that event's staging plan — arriving without it is the most common planning miss for buses at multi-use venues.

Where does the bus park during the event?

Bus parking at Desert Sun Stadium is in the adjacent surface lot along Desert Sun Drive or in a designated staging area confirmed by the event promoter. Give the event name and date when you request the quote so the vehicle is matched to that event's parking and permit arrangement. Staging can shift significantly between a small concert and a major festival like Midnight at the Oasis.

How much does a bus to Desert Sun Stadium cost?

Desert Sun Stadium bus rental prices vary based on vehicle size, your origin point (a Yuma pickup costs less than a San Diego or Phoenix run), total hours, and the event date. As a guide: Sprinter vans run $180–$310/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $180–$310/hour; 20–30 passenger vehicles run $180–$395/hour; 35–50 passenger vehicles run $265–$520/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $180–$310/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day for long-haul runs. A full quote takes under 30 seconds online — call 928-955-4008 or use the online tool.

How far is Desert Sun Stadium from Phoenix and San Diego?

Desert Sun Stadium is approximately 185 miles from Phoenix via I-10 west, AZ-85 south and I-8 west — about 3 to 3.5 hours without event traffic. From San Diego it is approximately 170 miles via I-8 east — about 2.5 to 3 hours. Both are straightforward highway corridors that make a charter bus both practical and cost-effective when the rate is split across the group.

Is public transit an option for getting to or from Desert Sun Stadium?

YCAT's Green Route 4 lists Avenue A & 32nd Street as its closest stop to the stadium, and that is a walk from the entrance rather than a door-to-door drop. The critical limitation: weekday service ends at 8:30 p.m., Saturday service ends at 6:30 p.m., and there is no Sunday service. Every evening event and every Sunday event at Desert Sun Stadium is off the public-transit map, which is why the bus that brought the group is the one that takes it home.

When should I book for Midnight at the Oasis?

Midnight at the Oasis Nostalgia Festival draws over 85,000 visitors to Desert Sun Stadium, downtown Yuma and the Yuma Civic Center on the first full weekend of March each year — March 5 through 7 in 2027 — it is Yuma's biggest event and the date that empties regional transportation inventory fastest. Book at least two to three months out, and earlier if you can. Waiting until four to six weeks before Midnight at the Oasis means slim vehicle selection and premium pricing.

The sooner you compare, the better your options and your rate.

What size bus do I need for my group?

Sprinter vans fit up to about 14 people; 15–35 passenger minibuses are ideal for mid-size groups; 15–50 passenger party buses work for groups that want the full experience on the ride; and 40–56 passenger charter buses handle large groups and long hauls from Phoenix or San Diego with deep undercarriage storage for luggage and gear. Two things decide the right vehicle: your headcount and your origin. A local Yuma group of 20 at a concert is a very different booking from 40 people making the highway run from Phoenix — the full-size coach makes more sense for the longer haul.

Does Yumacharterbuscompany.com own the buses?

No. Yumacharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and quote-request website for ground transportation. It displays different vehicle types available to rent in Yuma and nearby areas so you can compare buses, packages, and prices in one place — so you're never limited to a single company's fleet.

Can I request an ADA-accessible bus?

Yes. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network at no extra charge — just mention it when you request your quote. Give at least 48 hours' notice before your departure date and the right vehicle will be arranged.

The 48-hour figure comes from the federal rule governing charter and tour operators, not from individual company policy.
