Daytona 500 bus trip and race day transportation from South Florida

Two speedways, one coach for the whole group

Nobody in the group drives, parks or navigates.

Race fans rarely go alone. A company hosting clients, a team of coworkers, a church group or a set of friends who go every year all face the same problems: parking, traffic and the long drive home after a day in the stands. A private coach solves all three. The group boards at one place, rides together and comes home on the same coach.

Ace runs transportation to two tracks. Daytona International Speedway, home of the Daytona 500, is up the Atlantic coast in Daytona Beach. Homestead-Miami Speedway is at the south end of Miami-Dade County, close to home for groups in Miami-Dade, Broward and the Keys.

Daytona: a long day up the coast

Up the coast and home again the same day.

Daytona Beach is well north of Ace's area, so a Daytona 500 bus trip is a long day. The coach leaves early, runs north on I-95 or Florida's Turnpike, and brings the group home after the race. Ace runs late returns. Drivers' hours rules apply, so the day is planned with the quote and the departure time from the track is agreed before you book. Every Ace vehicle has Wi-Fi, GPS tracking and onboard cameras, which helps on a long ride up the coast.

Ace quotes the race as a round trip from South Florida in a single day. Groups in Port St. Lucie, Stuart or Jupiter are already part of the way up and can board later than a group in Miami. Several pickups on the way north are possible; list them when you ask for a quote.

Homestead-Miami Speedway, close to home

Close to home, and still easier by coach.

Homestead-Miami Speedway sits among the farm fields and plant nurseries of south Miami-Dade. Groups from Miami, Kendall and the Keys have the shortest ride; groups from Broward or Palm Beach County come down Florida's Turnpike.

A race weekend can span more than one day. A group staying at a South Florida hotel can book the coach for each day it needs, with the same pickup point every morning and the same ride back each evening.

Track rules and the ride home

Count heads at the door before the coach moves.

Each speedway sets its own rules for charter coaches: where they unload, where they park and when they may leave the lot. Those rules are on the speedway's official website. Read them before race day and send dispatch what you find.

Ace is not affiliated with either speedway or with the race organizers. Tickets and admission are bought from them, never from Ace.

1. Read the track's rulesOn the speedway's official website.
2. Name one group leaderDispatch has that phone number.
3. Agree the meeting pointAnd the departure time, before anyone leaves.
4. Headcount at the doorThen the driver takes it from there.

What sets the price of a race day coach

Track, headcount and pickups drive the quote.

Every race trip is quoted. Book as soon as the group commits, because the date is part of the price.

Gear changes the coach choice. A group carrying coolers and folding chairs needs bay space, so give dispatch a rough count along with the headcount.
