Type "JetBlue Park" into a GPS and you'll get two different answers. The ballpark's own address is 11500 Fenway South Drive, but plenty of map apps, ticket sites, and even the county fair that shares the property list it as 11581 Daniels Parkway instead. Both get you to the same gate off Exit 131 — the confusion is just old GPS data that never caught up with the street name change — but it's exactly the kind of small detail that turns into a big problem when you're trying to get 30 people to first pitch on time.
The good news: unlike a downtown big-league park, JetBlue Park doesn't charge for parking, doesn't require a separate motorcoach permit, and doesn't force buses into a rideshare lot a half-mile from the gates. The friction here is different — it's Daniels Parkway backing up as everyone arrives inside the same 30-minute window, and it's coordinating pickup for a group that scattered across a 3,000-car lot after the game. A charter bus or party bus solves both.
Below is everything a first-timer needs: where the bus actually goes, what a Spring Training day at Fenway South really looks like, and what it costs to bring your group along for it.
Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to JetBlue Park at Fenway South?
Red Sox Spring Training pulls fans from all over Southwest Florida — Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Sanibel — and most of them are driving in from 20, 30, even 45 minutes away. Getting a group of fans, a company outing, or a birthday party there in separate cars means separate arrival times, separate parking spots scattered across the lot, and someone standing by their tailgate trying to text everyone their row number. None of that happens on a bus.
A Fort Myers charter bus or party bus rental keeps a group together from pickup to first pitch. Everyone climbs on at one spot, the group rolls up Daniels Parkway together, and the bus parks as a single unit instead of forcing a caravan to find each other row by row. For fan clubs, company outings, and Grapefruit League road-trip groups, that's the entire pitch: one pickup, one drop-off, one pickup again when the last out is recorded.

Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at JetBlue Park at Fenway South
JetBlue Park sits just east of I-75, reached by taking Exit 131 (Daniels Parkway). Coming from the north, exit and turn left (east) onto Daniels Parkway; coming from the south, exit and turn right (east). Either direction, continue straight through the Treeline Avenue and Daniels Parkway intersection, and the ballpark is about 1.6 miles past that intersection on the left, per the Red Sox's own JetBlue Park travel page.
That single intersection is the one landmark worth knowing — it's the last turn before the ballpark comes into view.
Two Addresses, One Ballpark
Because the Fenway South complex was built out along a road that didn't officially exist yet, some older mapping systems still route to 11581 Daniels Parkway instead of the ballpark's listed 11500 Fenway South Drive. Both addresses land you at the same entrance off Daniels Parkway, so it doesn't change your route — but it's worth telling whoever is coordinating the group which address their phone actually pulled up, so nobody peels off toward a different intersection at the last minute.
Where a Charter Bus Waits During the Game
Parking at JetBlue Park is included with your game ticket, and the Fenway South complex sets aside roughly 20 acres of open lot with room for more than 3,000 vehicles directly against the ballpark's green space — there's no separate rideshare lot or long walk-in the way big-league parks require. JetBlue Park doesn't publish a dedicated motorcoach map or gate the way NFL and MLB stadiums in bigger cities do, so a bus parking here typically pulls into the perimeter of the general lot, where staff can direct oversized vehicles clear of the rows filling in around it. Noting your vehicle size when you request a quote lets the network flag that ahead of time, so you're not the one figuring it out at the entrance with a line of cars behind you.
There is one dedicated accommodation worth knowing: JetBlue Park sets aside 117 ADA parking spaces, located to the right immediately upon entering the lot, per the same official travel page. If anyone in your group needs that spot, having the bus swing by there first before the general lot fills in is the easiest way to use it.
JetBlue Park Transportation: Bus, Rideshare & Driving Compared
Because parking is free and on-site, the case for a bus at JetBlue Park isn't about dodging a parking fee the way it is at a downtown arena — it's about keeping a group together and skipping the post-game lot crawl. Here's an honest look at how the options stack up for a Fenway South trip.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Parking hassle | Post-game exit | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | None — the group is dropped and picked up as a unit | Bus stages nearby and pulls out as one vehicle, not forty | 15–56 |
| Driving separately | Free parking, gas per car | No — caravans split up in traffic | Free, but everyone parks in a different row | Every car waits its turn to exit the same lot | 1–2 cars |
| Rideshare | Per car each way, plus post-game demand | No — multiple cars, multiple drop points | None, but pickup after the game means waiting near a full lot | transportation providers circling a packed lot looking for a fare | 1–4 per car |
For two or three people, driving in is genuinely the simplest option — parking is free, and there's no reason to book a bus for a single car's worth of fans. Once a group grows past a few families or a company invite list, though, the math flips: coordinating where everyone parks, when everyone arrives, and how everyone finds their way back to the same row after extra innings becomes its own project. A bus removes that project entirely.
What Size Bus Fits Your JetBlue Park Group?
Spring Training groups run the gamut from a dozen retirees on a snowbird road trip to a 50-person company outing, so the right vehicle depends on your headcount and how much gear — coolers, gloves for the foul-ball chasers, signs for the kids — is coming along.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Small fan groups, family outings | Comfortable seating, A/C, room for coolers |
| 18-passenger minibus | Up to 18 | Youth teams, small company groups | Reclining seats, overhead storage |
| 25-passenger minibus | Up to 25 | Mid-size fan clubs, birthday outings | Powerful A/C, plush seating |
| 30-passenger minibus | Up to 30 | Company outings, senior center trips | Comfortable seating, luggage room |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large fan clubs, road-trip groups | Reclining seats, overhead storage, restroom on select vehicles |
| Party bus (15–40 passengers) | ~15–40 | Birthday groups, bachelor and bachelorette game-day outings | Built-in sound system, LED lighting, wraparound seating |
For a season-ticket group or company outing under 30 people, a minibus is usually the more economical fit and still leaves room for a cooler in every row. Larger fan clubs and multi-family road trips lean toward a full-size charter bus for the extra luggage room, and groups looking to turn the ride itself into part of the celebration — a birthday, an anniversary trip to see the Red Sox play — often go with a party bus instead. Browse the complete vehicle lineup to compare every option side by side.
JetBlue Park Charter Bus Rental Prices
Fortmyersminibuscompany.com shows quotes online in under 30 seconds, so you see a number before you ever commit to anything. What shapes that number for a Fenway South trip:
Vehicle size — a 14-passenger Sprinter and a 56-passenger charter bus price differently. Total hours — a straight there-and-back run costs less than a rental that holds the vehicle through a full nine innings plus extra innings. Date — a weekday game in early March prices differently than a Saturday matchup against the Yankees, when demand for vehicles across Fort Myers climbs.
Pickup distance — a Cape Coral or Bonita Springs origin adds mileage that a downtown Fort Myers pickup doesn't.
To give you an idea: a 40-person group booking a 40-passenger charter bus for a 6-hour Spring Training rental — pickup, the game, and the return trip — might run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,600 to $2,200, or roughly $40 to $55 a person. That figure moves with the date, the vehicle, the hours, and demand, so it's not a quote — it's a starting point. Fill out the quick form or call 239-999-0830 and you can have pricing for your date in about a minute.

Getting to JetBlue Park: I-75, Daniels Parkway & Drive Times
JetBlue Park draws from all over Lee and Collier counties, and drive times swing a lot depending on where your group starts and how close to first pitch you're leaving.
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical drive time (off-peak) |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Fort Myers | ~12 miles | 20–25 minutes |
| Cape Coral | ~18 miles | 30–35 minutes |
| Bonita Springs | ~15 miles | 20–25 minutes |
| Naples | ~28 miles | 35–45 minutes |
| Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) | ~7 miles | 10–15 minutes |
Those off-peak numbers stretch on game days, and Daniels Parkway is where it happens. With no separate charter bus gate and a single lot entrance handling large numbers of cars in the hour before first pitch, the stretch of Daniels Parkway between Treeline Avenue and the ballpark entrance slows to a crawl as everyone arrives inside the same 30-to-45-minute window. Arriving on a bus doesn't skip that stretch of road — nothing does — but it does mean your whole group experiences it once, together, instead of getting separated across a dozen cars that each hit the backup at a different moment.
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) to JetBlue Park
Few Grapefruit League parks sit as close to a major airport as JetBlue Park does. Southwest Florida International Airport connects to I-75 at Exit 128, just three exits south of the ballpark's own Exit 131, per Southwest Florida International Airport's own development history — which means a group flying in for a Spring Training weekend can be at the ballpark in well under 15 minutes without ever leaving the interstate.
That proximity is exactly why so many out-of-town groups build a Fenway South game into a Fort Myers arrival day instead of treating it as a separate trip. One bus gathers the group at baggage claim and runs straight to the ballpark or the hotel, skipping the scramble of splitting a family or a fan club across several rideshares right off a flight. See the Fort Myers airport transportation page for how a single pickup at RSW is arranged.
Game Day at JetBlue Park: Gates, Bag Policy & Timing
A few rules are worth knowing before your group ever reaches the gates, straight from the ballpark's own published policy.
Bags are limited and must be clear. Per the Red Sox's JetBlue Park clear bag policy, each guest may carry a single-compartment clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″, or a one-gallon clear resealable bag, plus a small clutch no bigger than 4.5″ x 6.5″. Backpacks, purses, and any multi-compartment bag are turned away at the gate — exceptions are made for diaper bags and essential medical equipment.
Tell your group before they ever board: whatever doesn't fit that description stays on the bus.
Most Spring Training games start at 1:05 p.m. or in the early evening. Grapefruit League scheduling leans toward afternoon first pitches, with a handful of evening games mixed in, so it's worth confirming your specific date's start time before setting a pickup window. Because the lot fills steadily rather than in one late rush, a group that wants a seat and a walk-around before first pitch is better served leaving a comfortable cushion than cutting it close.
Leaving JetBlue Park After the Game
The exit is the part first-timers underestimate. With one lot entrance serving a 3,000-vehicle field and no separate bus lane out, the same stretch of Daniels Parkway that backs up on arrival does it again once the final out is recorded and large numbers of cars try to leave at once. Fans who drove separately spend the postgame recap standing in a packed lot looking for their own car in a row that all looks the same.
A bus sidesteps most of that. Because the whole group climbs onto one vehicle instead of a dozen cars, there's only one exit to make instead of a dozen, and everyone leaves the moment the group reassembles rather than waiting on each car to find its own gap in the flow. Setting a clear meet-back spot near where the bus dropped the group — not "somewhere near the entrance," but a specific landmark everyone can find — keeps that reassembly quick even in a full lot at dusk.
What's on the Calendar at JetBlue Park in 2026
Fenway South's 2026 calendar is packed with dates worth planning a bus trip around, per the Red Sox's own 2026 Spring Training announcement:
Pitchers and catchers report Tuesday, February 10, 2026, with the first full-squad workout on Sunday, February 15. The exhibition season opens Friday, February 20, 2026, against the Northeastern University Huskies — typically one of the lower-demand, easier-to-book dates on the calendar. Team Puerto Rico visits JetBlue Park on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, for a World Baseball Classic tune-up game, followed by a home matchup against the New York Yankees on Wednesday, March 4 — historically one of the hardest tickets, and hardest vehicle bookings, of the spring.
"Futures at Fenway South" runs Saturday, March 14, 2026, a Minor League exhibition that draws families and youth teams out to see Boston's top prospects. The Red Sox play 18 total home games at JetBlue Park across the spring, including 15 Grapefruit League contests, before closing the exhibition slate on the road March 22 against Pittsburgh in Bradenton.
Beyond baseball, the Fenway South grounds also host the county fair and occasional touring concerts in the off-season, so it's worth checking the exact event before assuming this is strictly a baseball-season destination. Whatever's on the calendar, vehicle availability tightens fastest around the Yankees game and any weekend date, so a group planning around one of those is better off locking in a bus earlier rather than later.
Who Rents a Bus to JetBlue Park at Fenway South
The same one-pickup, one-drop-off setup works for almost any group heading to Fenway South — the reasons for the trip just change.
Fan clubs and season-ticket groups use a charter bus to turn a regular Grapefruit League game into an outing instead of a solo drive, splitting one flat cost across the group. Corporate and client groups book a bus for a suite outing or a company day at the ballpark without anyone worrying about where to park a fleet of rental cars — see the Fort Myers corporate transportation page for how that's arranged. Birthday and celebration groups lean toward a party bus so the celebration starts on the ride over, not just once everyone's in their seats — more on that on the Fort Myers birthday party transportation page.
Snowbird and travel groups visiting Southwest Florida for the winter often build a JetBlue Park game into a longer multi-stop itinerary, which the Fort Myers group transportation services page can help coordinate alongside other stops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at JetBlue Park?
Charter buses and party buses use the same Daniels Parkway entrance as every other vehicle, about 1.6 miles east of the Treeline Avenue and Daniels Parkway intersection. There's no separate motorcoach gate published for JetBlue Park, so on-site staff typically direct larger vehicles to the perimeter of the general lot rather than into the main rows.
Is parking free at JetBlue Park?
Yes. Parking is included with your game ticket, and the Fenway South complex has roughly 3,000 spaces in the lot adjacent to the ballpark. That's different from most big-league stadiums, where parking is a separate paid cost.
How much does it cost to rent a bus to JetBlue Park?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours, the date, and pickup distance. To give you an idea, a 40-passenger charter bus on a 6-hour Spring Training rental has run roughly $1,600 to $2,200, or about $40 to $55 a person — but that figure moves with demand. Call 239-999-0830 or use the online tool for a number specific to your date.
Is the ballpark's address Fenway South Drive or Daniels Parkway?
Officially, it's 11500 Fenway South Drive — but plenty of GPS systems and ticket sites still list 11581 Daniels Parkway. Both lead to the same entrance, so either address works, but it helps to know which one your transportation provider's app pulled up.
What roads back up on game day?
Daniels Parkway between Treeline Avenue and the ballpark entrance is the chokepoint, both before the game as everyone arrives in the same window and after the final out as the entire lot tries to exit through one entrance at once.
What's the bag policy at JetBlue Park?
Single-compartment clear bags up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″, a one-gallon clear resealable bag, or a small clutch up to 4.5″ x 6.5″ are allowed. Backpacks and multi-compartment bags are not, aside from diaper bags and essential medical equipment.
How early should our group arrive?
Because the lot fills steadily through the hour before first pitch rather than in one sudden rush, arriving with a comfortable cushion — enough time to park, walk in, and find seats without rushing — makes for a smoother start than cutting it close.
Can the bus wait for us during the game?
Yes. The bus is booked as a block of hours, so it can hold gear during the game and be ready at an agreed pickup time and spot once the game ends.
Is there public transit to JetBlue Park?
JetBlue Park sits along Daniels Parkway outside the downtown core, and there's no dedicated transit line serving the ballpark gates directly. A private bus or rideshare covers that gap for most visiting groups.
What's the closest airport to JetBlue Park?
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is about 7 miles away and connects to I-75 at Exit 128, just three exits from the ballpark's own Exit 131 — one of the shortest airport-to-ballpark runs of any Grapefruit League park.
Does a charter bus need a special parking permit at JetBlue Park?
No dedicated motorcoach permit or fee is published for JetBlue Park, unlike some larger stadiums. Noting your vehicle size when you book still helps the network flag it ahead of time so on-site staff know a larger vehicle is coming.
Are ADA-accessible buses available?
Yes, ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — note it in your quote request. At the ballpark itself, 117 ADA parking spaces sit to the right immediately upon entering the lot.
How far in advance should we book for the Yankees game or Futures at Fenway South?
As early as your date is set. High-demand dates like the Yankees game on March 4 and weekend games draw the biggest crowds of the spring, and the right-size vehicles for those dates go first.
