Why This Guide Exists

Sporting events should be about the game—not parking, traffic, coordinating multiple vehicles, or trying to find a rideshare after the final whistle.

Whether your group is attending a Jacksonville Jaguars game, Florida–Georgia, the Gator Bowl, a Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp game, an Icemen game, or another sporting event, this guide will help you plan transportation before, during, and after the event.

Building Your Game-Day Transportation Plan

1
How many people are riding? Group size helps determine whether a private van, minibus, or coordinated multiple-vehicle plan makes sense.
2
Where should we pick everyone up? Most trips begin on Amelia Island, but we can also discuss hotels, resorts, and other approved pickup locations.
3
What works best after the game? Decide whether the group wants one return time or needs a more flexible pickup plan.
4
Would you like the driver to wait? Depending on the event and schedule, waiting may be the simplest way to keep the return trip organized.

Game-Day Planning Tips

✓
Leave earlier than GPS recommends. Large events can create traffic well before the start time.
✓
Plan the return before arriving. Leaving the stadium area can take longer than expected.
✓
Choose one contact person. One person should communicate with the driver.
✓
Arrange transportation before drinking. Scheduling in advance gives the group a safer return plan.
✓
Do not rely solely on rideshare availability. Pickup demand can be high immediately after major events.
From Our Experience

The most common mistake is underestimating how long it can take to leave the venue after a major event. Planning the return trip before the game starts usually creates a much smoother experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the driver wait during the game?

Yes, depending on the event, trip details, and availability. We can also discuss a scheduled return pickup or pickup after the event ends.

What happens if the game goes into overtime?

Contact your driver or designated transportation contact. We will adjust when possible based on the transportation plan and schedule.

Can you pick us up from a hotel or resort?

Yes. Although many trips begin on Amelia Island, we can discuss hotel, resort, and other approved pickup locations.

Can we bring coolers or tailgating supplies?

In many cases, yes. Tell us what you plan to bring so we can consider passenger space, storage, and the correct vehicle setup.

Do you transport large groups?

Yes. Depending on group size, we may use private vans, the 14-passenger minibus, multiple vehicles, or a coordinated plan.

How early should we leave Amelia Island?

The recommended departure time depends on the event, venue, kickoff or start time, traffic, parking restrictions, and any planned stops. We generally recommend allowing more time than a normal GPS estimate.

Do you provide transportation for tailgating?

Yes. Tell us your tailgate location, timing, group size, and any equipment you plan to bring so we can help build the right plan.

Can we make multiple stops after the event?

Potentially. Multiple stops should be planned in advance and may affect timing and pricing.

Can the return pickup location differ from drop-off?

Yes, when planned in advance. Provide the exact return pickup location and make sure the designated group contact knows how to communicate with the driver.
