How to Do MLB Spring Training Right

There are fewer things in life that feel as purely good as baseball on a warm afternoon in February or March. The crack of the bat, the smell of fresh-cut grass, and a cold drink in hand. And if you’re in Florida, you’ve got an entire league’s worth of options to choose from. The Grapefruit League brings over a dozen MLB teams to the Sunshine State every spring, and Carl’s Van Rentals is here to make sure your crew gets to every single game without the stress of figuring out who’s driving.

The Grapefruit League Is a Road Tripper’s Dream

Spring training stadiums are spread across the Tampa Bay area, Orlando, and beyond, which means the real fun is hopping from park to park across a long weekend or a full week. You could catch the Yankees in Tampa, then make your way to see another club the next day without missing a pitch. The problem? Parking around these stadiums is notoriously chaotic, rideshare costs add up fast when you’re moving a group, and nobody wants to be the designated driver for three days straight.

Rent a Van, Skip the Parking Drama

A passenger van changes the entire equation. Drop everyone off at the gate, find one parking spot, and let the good times roll. Whether your crew is six die-hards or a full fifteen-person fan club, we have a van that fits. Our 12 and 15-passenger options are especially popular for larger groups who want to tailgate in the lot before first pitch and still have room for all the gear, coolers, and souvenir jerseys everyone inevitably comes home with.

Stadium Hopping Has Never Looked This Good

Plan your Grapefruit League itinerary around Tampa, and you’re sitting in a goldmine. Steinbrenner Field, Tropicana Field’s spring neighbor, and several other facilities are all within striking distance. A van rental turns a baseball weekend into a full-blown experience, and the stories from the drive are half the reason you’ll want to come back next year.
