The downtown Orlando parking math at Inter&Co Stadium has a way of catching groups off guard. The three official lots within walking distance of the stadium run between $15 and $35, and on sold-out Orlando City SC or Orlando Pride nights they fill well before kickoff. The surrounding downtown grid adds more options at $10–$20, but all on a first-come, first-served basis — no guarantees when 24,000 fans are making the same turn onto Church Street.
Then factor in I-4 between Maitland and downtown: an active construction corridor that piles on 15–25 extra minutes on a match night, even though the stadium itself is barely two blocks from the freeway. You can burn the first half of the pregame just finding where to park.
A party bus rental from Maitland to Inter&Co Stadium clears the whole board. Your group rides down together, the bus drops everyone at the Church Street curb near Gate A, and the post-game pick-up is already arranged before you walk through the gates. This guide covers exactly how that works — the drop-off zone the stadium publishes, what parking actually costs, how SunRail and the LYMMO factor in, which vehicle makes sense for your headcount, and what to know about booking for the Lions’ biggest home dates before availability dries up.
Why Groups Rent a Party Bus or Charter Bus to Inter&Co Stadium
Inter&Co Stadium opened in February 2017 as a soccer-specific, 24,453-seat facility in the Parramore neighborhood — a downtown Orlando stadium with no on-site parking garage attached. That detail reshapes the whole group transportation question. Every car heading to a match joins the competition for the surrounding downtown grid, where the closest lot charges $35 on game night and the “budget” option at $15 involves a longer walk than most groups expect.
Bring five cars for a group of 15–20, and you are likely spending $75–$175 in parking across those vehicles, with multiple people who cannot fully enjoy the evening because they are responsible for the return drive to Maitland on I-4 afterward.
A charter bus or party bus rental from Maitland sidesteps every one of those problems. The whole group assembles at one pickup, rides south together, and gets dropped at the curb. After the final whistle, the bus is staged and ready rather than stuck in a downtown garage while 24,000 fans simultaneously pour into the street.
For Maitland sporting event group transportation, Inter&Co Stadium trips are among the most common in the network — and the matchday logistics below reflect how those runs actually work.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at Inter&Co Stadium
The stadium’s official published guidance identifies a dedicated accessible drop-off and pick-up zone at the corner of Glenn Lane and Church Street for all Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride matches, per the venue’s A-Z guide. That corner puts arriving groups within a short walk of Gate A at the corner of Church Street — the stadium’s primary public entrance on its north side. For general group bus drop-off, Church Street in front of the stadium provides natural curbside access, with the bus releasing passengers and repositioning while the match is underway.
The six stadium gates are set around the perimeter: Gate A at the Church Street corner, Gate B on the east side along West Pine Street, Gate C at the corner of West Central Street, Gate D serving the Club and Suite level, Gate E on the south side, and the Supporter Gate on the north side. Most general admission groups arriving by bus walk to Gate A off Church Street — it is the shortest walk from the natural curbside drop point. All gates open 60 minutes before kickoff, per the Inter&Co Stadium arrival page.
The stadium’s designated arrival zone is the corner of Glenn Lane and Church Street. A bus drops your group there, they walk straight to Gate A, and the bus repositions — while groups who drove are still scanning the Parramore grid for an open lot at match-night prices.
Post-match pick-up deserves a specific plan before the group walks in. When the final whistle blows and 24,000 fans leave simultaneously, the streets around the stadium — Church Street, Pine Street, South Street — back up fast. Groups relying on rideshare are generally advised to walk a block or two toward Orange Avenue to request their car away from the immediate stadium perimeter.
With a private bus, the pick-up window and location are agreed on before kickoff, so the bus is staged and ready when your group comes out. No rideshare queue, no hunting a garage.
Inter&Co Stadium Parking Costs on Match Day
The three official stadium-affiliated lots publish their prices on the venue’s official parking page. The N Tailgate Lot at 22 S Terry Ave. costs $35 and is the closest option, with tailgate access near Gates B and C. Lot H at 520 W Pine St. is priced at $25. The Exchange Lot at 25 W South St. comes in at $15 — the budget option, but a longer walk than either of the other two.
The City of Orlando provides additional downtown lots on a first-come, first-served basis at roughly $10–$20. Prices are subject to change by event, and lots sell out for major matches — pre-purchasing is the safer move.
Run that math for a group of 24 arriving in six cars: if four land at Lot H ($25 each) and two end up in the city grid ($15 each), that is $130 in parking before a single dollar is spent on the match itself. A 25-passenger party bus rental runs $275–$375 per hour on weekends from the network — split 24 ways on a 3-hour round-trip from Maitland, you are looking at roughly $35–$47 per person, which covers the full ride both ways and eliminates the parking scramble entirely. Check current planning ranges on the Maitland party bus prices page.
Getting from Maitland to Inter&Co Stadium
The drive from Maitland to Inter&Co Stadium runs about 9 miles south via I-4. Off-peak, that is 15–20 minutes. On a match night with I-4 Ultimate construction activity in the corridor between Maitland and downtown Orlando, plan for 30–45 minutes — evening kickoffs between 7:00 and 7:30 p.m. hit the heaviest overlap with standard afternoon drive-time traffic.
The stadium is two blocks from I-4, which makes the freeway portion of the trip straightforward. The last mile through downtown Orlando on Church Street and the surrounding grid is where the time disappears on a full-crowd night.
The standard approach heading south on I-4: take Exit 83A (Amelia Street), turn right onto Amelia Street, then right onto Orange Avenue to reach the stadium area, per the stadium’s published arrival directions. From the 408 heading east, take the Rosalind Avenue exit (11A) and turn left onto South Street. From I-4 heading east, the alternate is Exit 84 (Colonial Drive), left on Colonial, then right onto Orange Avenue.
Build in extra buffer on high-demand match nights — a sold-out Orlando City SC vs. Inter Miami CF date, or an NWSL playoff game, brings substantially more vehicles into the downtown grid than a midweek regular-season fixture.
| From… | Approx. distance | Off-peak drive time | Match-night estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Maitland | ~9 miles | 15–20 min | 30–45 min |
| Winter Park | ~11 miles | 18–25 min | 35–50 min |
| Apopka | ~22 miles | 25–35 min | 45–60 min |
| Sanford | ~26 miles | 30–40 min | 50–70 min |
| Kissimmee | ~25 miles | 28–38 min | 50–65 min |
Those match-night estimates reflect typical heavy-demand conditions, not peak construction-delay days. When I-4 has active lane closures in the corridor — a recurring condition during the I-4 Ultimate project — add another 10–20 minutes on top. A charter bus from Maitland deals with the same road, but arrives at the curb and releases the group rather than circling the Parramore neighborhood trying to find a lot with open spots.
Every Way to Get to Inter&Co Stadium: Transportation Compared
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Drop-off point | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split across the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Best — Church Street curb, steps from Gate A | Groups of 15–56 from Maitland area |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | Per car each way, plus post-match surge | No — multiple cars, staggered ETAs | South St or Livingston St; post-match crowd spikes wait times | 1–4 people with no coordination needs |
| SunRail (Church Street station) | Per ticket; limited weekend service | Only if whole group is on the same train | Good — 0.4 mile / 10-min walk to stadium | Individuals or small groups on weekdays |
| LYMMO Grapefruit Line | Free | No — circulator, subject to schedule and capacity | Moderate — stops near stadium in downtown loop | People already in downtown Orlando |
| Drive & park | $15–$35 per car; no overflow on sellouts | No — carpools split | Varies by lot; closest lots are a 1–5 min walk | 1–2 cars on a non-sellout night |
For a solo fan or a couple, SunRail’s Church Street station is a genuinely good call on a weekday — 10 minutes of flat walking from the platform to Gate A is a clean, simple trip. Once a group grows to four or five carloads of people, the coordination overhead of separate vehicles — different arrival times, the parking question, and who draws the short straw on who stays sober for the drive home on I-4 — tips the balance decisively toward one bus. That is the group the rest of this guide is written for.
SunRail and LYMMO to Inter&Co Stadium
SunRail. The Church Street SunRail station is at 99 W South St., Orlando, FL 32801 — 0.4 miles from Inter&Co Stadium, a 10-minute flat walk. SunRail runs extended service on select match days, and Maitland’s own SunRail station puts you directly on the commuter rail line heading south.
The real limitation: weekend service is more restricted than weekday schedules, and SunRail operates on fixed departure times rather than on-demand. If the match ends late and the next northbound train is 45 minutes out, the group is working out a backup plan. For groups that want guaranteed departure windows in both directions without watching a clock, a private bus removes the schedule dependency entirely.
LYMMO Grapefruit Line. The free LYMMO Grapefruit Line is downtown Orlando’s no-cost circulator, looping through the downtown grid with stops near the stadium area. It is a useful last-mile tool for small groups already downtown — not a point-to-point solution from north Orlando suburbs.
Think of LYMMO as the way to move around once you’ve arrived downtown, not as group transportation from Maitland.
What Bus Size Fits Your Inter&Co Stadium Group?
The right vehicle comes down to your headcount and the kind of pregame energy your group is going for. Here is how the full vehicle lineup maps to a typical Inter&Co Stadium run from Maitland.
| Vehicle | Seats | Storage | Best for | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van | Up to 14 | Modest — bags, gear | Small VIP groups, suite holders, corporate clients | Premium leather, individual USB charging, tinted privacy windows |
| 20-passenger or 25-passenger party bus | 20–25 | Onboard, lighter load | Fan groups wanting the rolling pregame energy | LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, wraparound seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | 15–35 | Overhead plus some underfloor | Mid-size fan groups, corporate shuttles, multi-pickup runs | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Deep undercarriage bays | Large group outings, employers shuttling a full team, groups picking up from multiple locations | Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays |
For most Maitland fan groups heading to an Inter&Co Stadium night match, a 20-passenger or 25-passenger party bus is the natural fit — right-sized for a typical group, easy to navigate the downtown Orlando grid, and built for the kind of game-night energy that makes the ride part of the experience. For larger groups picking up across multiple Maitland-area locations before heading south, a 56-passenger charter bus gives you undercarriage bays for gear plus an onboard restroom for a comfortable round-trip. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — flag it when you submit your quote.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Rental Prices for Inter&Co Stadium Trips
What you pay for an Inter&Co Stadium party bus or charter bus rental from Maitland depends on four things: vehicle size, total rental hours (pickup through final drop-off), date, and your specific route. To give you a planning range from the network: a 15–35 passenger minibus runs $200–$275 per hour on weekends. Party buses in the 20–25 passenger range run $275–$375 per hour on weekends.
A full 56-passenger charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour on both weekdays and weekends. Those are planning ranges, not quotes — the actual number for your specific date and group comes back in about a minute through Maitlandlimopartybus.com’s online form or by calling 407-792-5856.
The per-person math often surprises groups. A party of 25 on a 3-hour weekend party bus rental at $300/hour comes to $900 total — roughly $36 per person — and that covers the round-trip from Maitland with everyone landing at the Church Street curb. That beats five separate cars splitting $125–$175 in parking, with no coordination overhead and nobody managing the return drive after a late match.
For the busiest Inter&Co Stadium nights — the Inter Miami CF visit, NWSL playoff games, and any date bringing outside-normal volume to downtown Orlando — demand on available vehicles runs high. Locking in early on those dates is the move that keeps pricing where you want it.
Match-Day Logistics at Inter&Co Stadium: What Every Group Should Know
Clear bag policy. The stadium enforces a bag policy per its published A-Z guide: small bags are permitted up to 4.5″ high × 6.5″ wide; larger bags must be clear totes no bigger than 14″ × 14″ × 6″. Camera bags and cases are not permitted.
The stadium recommends arriving without a bag to speed up gate entry. Let your group know this before departure — a bag-check delay at Gate A on a match night is a bad way to start the evening.
Gates open 60 minutes before kickoff. A 7:30 p.m. start means gates open at 6:30 p.m. For a Maitland group accounting for 30–45 minutes of match-night I-4 travel, that means a bus departure in the 5:00–5:30 p.m. range to arrive at the Church Street drop-off zone with a comfortable pre-gate window.
If your group plans to join the Mane Street Tailgate presented by Publix near Gates B and C, build in an additional 30–45 minutes before the tailgate opens.
Post-match exit. The streets around Church Street and South Street back up within minutes of the final whistle on a full-crowd night. Groups using rideshare post-match are advised to walk toward Orange Avenue before requesting their car.
A private bus eliminates that calculation: set the pick-up window before kickoff, and the bus is staged when your group walks out — no surge pricing, no waiting in a pedestrian crowd while a rideshare queue backs up around the block.
Florida heat. Inter&Co Stadium is an open-air venue. Evening kickoffs — 7:00 or 7:30 p.m. — are meaningfully more comfortable from May through October than afternoon starts.
Climate control on the bus is a welcome finish to a summer match night heading back north to Maitland. If your group includes anyone who struggles with afternoon heat, an evening fixture makes for a significantly more comfortable outing at an uncovered outdoor stadium.
What’s On at Inter&Co Stadium in 2026
Three home rosters run at Inter&Co Stadium through 2026. Orlando City SC carries a full MLS home schedule through the year, including the perennial rivalry draw of hosting Inter Miami CF, making Inter&Co Stadium one of the most consistently active group transportation destinations in the Orlando area. The Orlando Pride — the 2024 NWSL champions — run a full home slate through the season, and their playoff runs generate some of the loudest crowds the stadium sees; those dates book group transportation well in advance.
The Orlando Storm launches its inaugural UFL season at Inter&Co Stadium in 2026, bringing a third pro home team to the venue for the first time.
Inter&Co Stadium also hosted 2025 FIFA Club World Cup matches, stress-testing the downtown Orlando parking and transit grid at full international-match volume. Groups that pre-arranged private transportation for those fixtures avoided the downtown congestion that backed up fans who drove. That same logic applies to 2026’s biggest dates: U.S. national team friendlies, NWSL playoff games, and marquee MLS rivalry matches all draw outside-normal demand on available vehicles.
On those nights, the right buses go first. Call 407-792-5856 as soon as your date is confirmed.

Current pricing is on the official Inter&Co Stadium parking page.
How far is Maitland from Inter&Co Stadium and what is the best route?
About 9 miles via I-4. Off-peak, that is 15–20 minutes. On a match night with I-4 construction and downtown traffic, plan 30–45 minutes.
The standard approach heading south: take I-4 to Exit 83A (Amelia Street), right on Amelia, then right on Orange Avenue. From the 408 heading east, use the Rosalind Avenue exit (11A) and turn left on South Street.
Is there dedicated bus or oversized vehicle parking at Inter&Co Stadium?
The official Inter&Co Stadium parking page does not list a dedicated charter bus or oversized vehicle lot. A bus drops your group at the Church Street curb and repositions to a nearby street or a downtown garage with sufficient clearance while the match runs. For event-specific bus staging on high-demand nights, contact the stadium at 855-ORL-CITY before your date.
Is SunRail a good option for groups from Maitland?
On weekdays, yes — Maitland’s own SunRail station connects south to Church Street station, which is 0.4 miles and a 10-minute flat walk from Inter&Co Stadium. Weekend service is more limited, and SunRail runs fixed departure times rather than on-demand. If your group wants guaranteed timing both ways without watching a train schedule, a private bus from Maitland is the more controlled option.
What is the bag policy at Inter&Co Stadium?
Small bags up to 4.5″ × 6.5″ are permitted. Larger bags must be clear totes no bigger than 14″ × 14″ × 6″. Camera bags are not allowed.
The stadium recommends arriving without a bag to speed gate entry. Confirm current requirements at the official A-Z guide before your match, as policies can be updated between seasons.
What time do gates open at Inter&Co Stadium?
Gates open 60 minutes before kickoff for Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride matches. For a 7:30 p.m. start, that is 6:30 p.m. Factor in 30–45 minutes of match-night I-4 travel from Maitland when setting your bus departure time, and add extra buffer if your group is planning to join the Mane Street Tailgate near Gates B and C before the gates open.
How early should I book a bus from Maitland to Inter&Co Stadium?
For regular-season MLS and NWSL matches, two to four weeks of lead time is typically workable. For high-demand nights — the Inter Miami CF match, NWSL playoff games, U.S. national team friendlies, or any event drawing an expanded crowd to downtown Orlando — book as soon as the date is confirmed. The right-sized vehicles tend to go first on those nights.
