Types of Bus Rentals in California

You can book a charter bus rental for private events in California of any size when you book through the CharterUP network! We’ve partnered with more than 600 charter bus companies across the United States to bring you a network of charter bus rentals ranging from minibuses to full-size charter bus rentals that accommodate 56 passengers. You can book everything from  travel agency charter buses for tours of Los Angeles to government and military charter buses for discreet transportation across state lines. Our platform allows you to filter through everything that’s important for your group’s journey, from different amenity options to pricing, safety records, customer reviews, and more.

How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Charter Bus in California?

The price of renting a charter bus in California depends on numerous factors. Among those factors are distance you plan on traveling, time of year you’re traveling, what type of charter bus you rent, and any additional expenses like if you choose to tip 5% to 10% for your driver’s services. It may also impact the cost of your charter bus if you rent one in an area with more availability, such as a Walnut Creek charter bus or bus in another smaller California city, as opposed to a city that has a higher demand for transportation. Our platform pricing is very straightforward, with no guesswork to be done on how much it will cost and no hidden fees to trip you up down the road.

Silicon Valley Charter Buses for Companies of All Sizes

Book a Silicon Valley charter bus rental for corporate events and get timely and professional transportation to and from different events. Each charter bus driver in our network aims to arrive at least 15 minutes early to each stop on your itinerary, making transportation more convenient if you rent a charter bus in Cupertino or a Mountain View charter bus to places like The George R. Moscone Convention Center for breakout sessions and other events where time is a factor. You can also book a charter bus in Sunnyvale or a Menlo Park charter bus for company outreach and employee fairs if you are a startup looking to build your team and attract top talent.

In addition to larger company events, you can also use our platform to book transportation in Silicon Valley for smaller groups. Book a charter bus in San Jose or a Santa Clara charter bus for team-building events like company dinners. The smaller buses in our network can accommodate anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers, making them a great option if you need a charter bus in Milpitas, a Los Altos charter bus, or transportation in other Silicon Valley cities for smaller corporate groups and events.

Commuter Shuttle Buses in San Francisco and Other Major Cities

Book an employee shuttle bus rental in California outside of major cities to simplify your team’s daily commute and help reduce burnout among your employees. For example, if you have a company based in San Francisco, you can set up a charter bus service in San Mateo, bus rentals in Redwood City, and even a Tiburon charter bus service to get your team into the office with the help of a trained charter bus driver. Employees can use onboard amenities like WiFi and power outlets to catch up on emails, finish any last minute slideshows, and get a jump start on their day. Our platform allows you to book employee shuttle buses suitable for teams in any industry, from hospital and healthcare shuttle buses to construction site shuttle bus rentals.

Book a California Charter Bus to Major Festivals and Events

Coachella Bus Rentals with a Private Driver

Held every summer in Coachella Valley and attracting an average of 150,000 attendees each day over its two weekends, Coachella has become synonymous with California music festivals. And if you plan on going with a group of any size, CharterUP offers the ability to rent charter buses for large events in California, including Coachella and other festivals. You can rent a charter bus to Coachella for as many days as you need, whether you are staying one of the weekends or both. Simplify your transportation by keeping everybody together and give your group a place to escape the heat and relax in cushioned seats and A/C away from the crowd. A professional driver can handle pick up and drop off while you focus on enjoying the festival.

San Diego Comic Con Bus Rentals for Multiple Days

As the largest convention of its kind and the largest annual convention in California, San Diego Comic-Con attracts over 130,000 attendees every year. During this time, transportation in and around the city gets super chaotic due to the influx of people. It’s a good idea to rent a San Diego charter bus if you plan on attending the convention or any other group event downtown during this time. A professional driver can handle the roads and parking for you without having to split your group up or find rideshares. Those attending from out of town can rent an Irvine charter bus or a bus in other neighboring cities thanks to CharterUP’s extensive network of options. You can also use our platform to book an airport charter bus rental at San Diego International Airport if you are flying in from out of state or further away.

You can use our network to connect with a bus rental in Napa to see wineries like the Jarvis Estate or Domaine Carneros or even a Calistoga charter bus only 45 minutes away or a Healdsburg charter bus an hour away from Napa to explore lesser-known wineries and scenery.

If you feel like exploring the Sonoma wine region, book a Sonoma charter bus rental to enjoy pizza and wine at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards or a Santa Rosa charter bus just 45 minutes outside of Sonoma to tour St. Francis Winery & Vineyards.
