Get Your Athens Group to Atlanta — And Every Airport, Stadium, and Convention Center in It
One of the most common long-distance trips from Athens is the 70-mile run southwest to Atlanta — and it's one of the most complicated to do in a caravan of cars. US-78 feeds into I-20, which feeds into the Downtown Connector, and on a game weekend or a Monday morning, that stretch can turn a 90-minute drive into two and a half hours. A charter bus keeps your whole group together, handles the I-285 perimeter traffic, and drops everyone curbside at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (6000 N Terminal Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30320), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (1 AMB Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30313) for the SEC Championship, or the Georgia World Congress Center (285 Andrew Young International Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313) for a conference.

For UGA Away Games, Bowl Trips, and SEC Road Runs, One Bus Does It All
For Athens groups following the Georgia Bulldogs on the road, a long-distance charter bus is the only way to keep the whole group together from Athens to the opposing stadium and back. Rolling up to Neyland Stadium (1235 Phillip Fulmer Way, Knoxville, TN 37916) in Knoxville is about 200 miles north through the mountains — beautiful country, terrible for a caravan. Jordan-Hare Stadium (251 S Donahue Dr, Auburn, AL 36849) in Auburn is about 180 miles south on I-85.
And when the Bulldogs make a bowl run to Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112), that's a 530-mile overnight push your group will actually enjoy on a full-size motorcoach with reclining seats, WiFi, and restrooms onboard. Compare multi-day charter bus packages in seconds and lock in your road trip today!
Moving Your Athens Group to the Beach, the Mountains, or Anywhere in Between
Moving a group of UGA students to Myrtle Beach for spring break is about 310 miles east on I-20 to US-501 — a 6-hour run that's a lot more fun when everyone's on one bus instead of split across eight cars trying to caravan. Heading to Dollywood (2700 Dollywood Parks Blvd, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863) in the Smokies is about 170 miles north through some of the most scenic highway in the Southeast. And if your group is chasing the music at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, TN — about 240 miles via I-75 N — a motorcoach with undercarriage luggage bays handles the camping gear while everyone rides in comfort.

The Atlanta run is by far the most common — 70 miles southwest via US-78 to I-20, covering everything from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for UGA bowl games and the SEC Championship. UGA away-game charters to Knoxville, Auburn, and Tuscaloosa are the next most frequent, followed by spring break runs to Myrtle Beach and Florida. Compare buses and pricing for any of these routes in seconds using the online quote tool!
Book three to six months out for most long-distance trips, and stretch that to six months or more for UGA away games, the SEC Championship in Atlanta, Bonnaroo in June, and spring break in mid-March — those dates pull from the same pool of available vehicles across the entire region at once. Overnight and multi-day charters also tend to book earlier than single-day trips. The earlier you compare, the better your vehicle selection and pricing.
Yes — onboard restrooms are standard on most 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, which makes them the right call for overnight runs like the 530-mile push to New Orleans or the 590-mile haul to Washington, D.C. Amenities do vary by vehicle and operator, so mention that a restroom is a must-have when you fill out your quote. The results page shows available amenities for each bus so you can compare before you book.
Yes! Multi-day packages are available through the network, and they're one of the most popular options for Athens groups heading to bowl games, spring break destinations, or multi-day festivals like Bonnaroo.

Charter buses drop off at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) on the upper-level departures curb by terminal. For pickup after a return flight, buses use the lower-level arrivals curb at the Ground Transportation Center. The drive from Athens is roughly 70 miles via US-78 to I-20 W, typically 1.5 to 2 hours — budget extra time during morning rush or on UGA football weekends.
Confirm your terminal with the group coordinator before departure day so everyone meets at the right curb.
