Jacksonville Jaguars Van Rental Guide for Game-Day Groups

Updated October 1, 2026 for the 2026 Jaguars season.

Make game day a group outing, not a convoy. A Jacksonville passenger van rental lets your family, friends or fan club travel together to EverBank Stadium, with one pickup plan and one place to meet after the game. Carl’s Van Rentals can help you choose the right van for your group before you book.

Plan around the next Jacksonville home game

As of October 1, these home games remain on the Jaguars’ 2026-season schedule:

  • November 1: Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m. EST.
  • November 29: Tennessee Titans, 4:05 p.m. EST.
  • December 14: Pittsburgh Steelers, 8:15 p.m. EST.
  • Week 17: Washington Commanders, date and kickoff time to be announced.

The October 4 game is in Cincinnati, and the October 11 and 18 games are in London, not Jacksonville. Check the official Jaguars schedule before arranging your rental, tickets and lodging. Dates and kickoff times can change.

Choose space for passengers and game-day gear

Start with everyone who will ride, then count your bags, folding chairs and cooler. A van’s passenger capacity does not tell you how much luggage space remains when every seat is occupied. Tell our Jacksonville team what you are bringing so we can help you compare the available options.

Our passenger van rentals give groups an alternative to splitting up across several cars. For a practical starting point, read how to choose the right passenger van size. Confirm the vehicle’s dimensions before buying a parking pass, especially if you are considering a larger van or an enclosed garage.

Book parking that fits your van

A game ticket is not a parking reservation. Review the current Jaguars parking options and buy the appropriate pass separately. Each stadium parking pass is valid for one space in its assigned lot, not any open space near the stadium.

EverBank’s published parking rules prohibit vehicles over 18 feet long and/or 8 feet wide in lined parking spaces. Canopies larger than 8 by 8 feet are also prohibited. Check the actual van’s dimensions with Carl’s and confirm suitable parking with the lot operator before you travel. Do not assume every passenger van will fit a standard stadium space.

Lots typically open four hours before kickoff and close two hours after the game, but confirm the instructions for your specific lot. Keep tailgate equipment within the permitted area and leave driving lanes clear.

Allow extra time for stadium construction

Construction is changing how fans reach and move around EverBank Stadium. Parking areas, walking routes and gate access may differ from previous seasons. The venue currently recommends arriving at your parking lot at least three hours before kickoff.

Check the stadium construction updates and the instructions on your tickets before leaving. Choose one driver, save your parking pass and ticket details on your phone, and agree on a meeting point for the return trip. For an evening game, plan your rental return time around post-game traffic rather than the final whistle.

Pack for the stadium’s entry rules

As of October 1, the venue permits a clear bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, a one-gallon clear bag, or a small non-clear bag, clutch or wallet up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches. Medical exceptions require screening. Mobile tickets are used, and the stadium has a strict no-re-entry policy.

Keep tailgating supplies separate from the items you will carry inside. Review the latest Know Before You Go guidance before each visit, including prohibited items and gate instructions.

A few questions before you book

Does a Carl’s rental include parking or a driver?

No. Your reservation is for a self-drive van rental. Game tickets, parking and a driver are arranged separately by your group.

Can we use one van for the airport, hotel and game?

Yes, you can plan the rental around your Jacksonville trip rather than just kickoff. Include your arrival and departure dates when booking, and confirm pickup and return arrangements with Carl’s. Check hotel and garage height limits before choosing where to park.

When should we reserve?

Once your group and travel dates are confirmed, book your van online. Availability varies by date and vehicle type. If your group needs help choosing, call our Jacksonville office at 904-727-3848.
