A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Irvine Spectrum Center
The Irvine Spectrum Center is more than just a mall; it is one of Southern California's most popular entertainment destinations. Featuring over 175 stores, a 21-screen movie theater, and the iconic 108-foot-tall Giant Wheel, it is a must-visit for groups. Whether you are bringing a youth group to Dave & Buster’s or a corporate team for a dinner at Javier’s, the Spectrum has something for everyone.
However, parking at the Spectrum can be a challenge, especially on weekends and holidays when the garages fill up fast. By renting a charter bus, your group can bypass the stress of finding multiple parking spots. Your driver can drop you off right near the main entrance or the Edwards Cinema, allowing your group to step off the bus and immediately start enjoying the attractions. After a day of shopping and dining, there is nothing better than sinking into a plush bus seat for the ride home.

Orange County Great Park
Spanning over 1,300 acres, the Orange County Great Park is a massive public park that serves as a focal point for community events, sports tournaments, and outdoor recreation. It is home to the Great Park Sports Complex, which hosts soccer, baseball, and softball tournaments year-round. If you are a coach or team manager, Charter Bus Rental Company Irvine offers the perfect solution for transporting your athletes. Our full-size charter buses come with ample undercarriage storage for equipment bags, coolers, and uniforms, ensuring the aisles stay clear for your players to rest.
Beyond sports, the park features the famous Great Park Balloon, a tethered helium balloon that lifts visitors 400 feet into the air for 360-degree views of Orange County. There is also a carousel and a weekly farmers market. Navigating such a large venue can be confusing for a caravan of cars, but a bus rental keeps everyone together. We can arrange for drop-offs right at the specific fields or attractions you are visiting.

University of California, Irvine (UCI)
Whether you are a high school counselor planning a campus tour for prospective students or an academic group attending a lecture, UC Irvine is a top destination. Known for its circular layout around Aldrich Park and its top-tier research facilities, UCI is a sprawling campus. Walking from one end to the other can take time, and visitor parking is strictly enforced and can be expensive.
With a private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Irvine, you can customize your campus tour. Your driver can drop your group off at the Student Center for an orientation, wait while you explore the Langson Library, and pick you up near the Bren Events Center. For collegiate sports teams visiting to play the Anteaters, we provide comfortable, reliable transportation to ensure the team arrives rested and ready to compete. We are experts in navigating campus roads and adhering to university loading and unloading zones.

Tanaka Farms
For a taste of agricultural history in the middle of the city, Tanaka Farms is a beloved local landmark. This family-owned farm offers seasonal tours that are perfect for school field trips and private group outings. From strawberry picking in the spring to the famous pumpkin patch in the fall and the "Hikari" festival of lights in the winter, there is always something happening here.
School buses are the traditional choice for field trips, but they often lack air conditioning and seatbelts. Upgrade your students' experience with a modern charter bus rental. Your students will appreciate the climate-controlled cabin on hot Irvine days, and teachers will love the PA system for making announcements en route. Parking at the farm involves dirt lots which can be tricky for individual cars to navigate in a caravan; a charter bus simplifies the process by dropping everyone at the entrance before parking in the designated oversized vehicle area.

Pretend City Children’s Museum
If you are traveling with younger children, Pretend City is a destination you cannot miss. This interconnected "city" is designed to build foundational skills through interactive role-play. Children can "work" in a grocery store, a doctor's office, a fire station, and even a farm. It is an incredibly popular destination for elementary schools, daycares, and scout troops.
Coordinate a safe and efficient trip for your little ones with Charter Bus Rental Company Irvine. We prioritize safety above all else, and our vehicles are comfortable and well-maintained. Renting a bus keeps all the children, chaperones, and parents together in one vehicle, eliminating the risk of anyone getting lost in traffic. Plus, the onboard DVD players and monitors are perfect for playing cartoons to keep the kids entertained during the drive.
Address: 29 Hubble, Irvine, CA 92618
Lyon Air Museum
Located on the west side of John Wayne Airport, the Lyon Air Museum is a fascinating destination for history buffs, veterans' groups, and educational tours. The museum features authentic aircraft, rare automobiles, and military motorcycles, with a specific focus on World War II history. It offers a unique vantage point where you can view the exhibits inside while watching modern commercial planes take off on the runway right outside.
Group tours are available, and arriving by charter bus adds to the seamless experience. Instead of navigating the airport traffic loops, your driver can take you straight to the museum entrance. It is an excellent stop for senior citizen groups or corporate outings looking for a unique historical perspective. Our buses offer comfortable, reclining seats and ample legroom, making them accessible and comfortable for passengers of all ages.

Bommer Canyon Cattle Camp
For a glimpse into Irvine’s ranching past, Bommer Canyon is a hidden gem. Part of the Irvine Ranch Open Space, this area features ancient oak groves, rugged rock outcrops, and the historic Cattle Camp. It is a popular spot for corporate retreats, company picnics, and rustic weddings . The area feels miles away from the city, offering a serene natural backdrop for your event.
Accessing the Cattle Camp for a private event often requires a reservation, and parking can be limited for large groups. A shuttle bus rental is the perfect solution. You can have your guests park at a central location, such as a hotel or a park-and-ride, and shuttle them into the canyon. This not only solves parking logistics but also ensures that all your guests arrive at your event at the same time. Plus, for weddings, a shuttle ensures that everyone has a safe ride home after the reception.
Address: 11 Bommer Canyon Rd, Irvine, CA 92603
Turtle Rock Viewpoint
If your group is looking for the best panoramic views in the city, head to the Turtle Rock Viewpoint. Located in one of Irvine's southern villages, this spot offers sweeping vistas of Irvine, Orange County, and on clear days, out to the ocean. It is a fantastic stop for photography clubs, sightseeing tour groups, or just a peaceful break during a busy itinerary.
Because this is located within a residential community with winding roads, a minibus is often the best choice for visiting Turtle Rock. Our 18- 25 passenger minibuses are agile enough to navigate the neighborhood streets while still providing the comfort and amenities of a larger coach. Let your driver handle the hills while you enjoy the sunset views over the city.
Address: Turtle Rock Dr, Irvine, CA 92603

Can we drink alcohol on the bus?
In many cases, yes! Alcohol is generally permitted on our charter buses and party buses , provided that all passengers are of legal drinking age (21+). However, you must notify us in advance if you plan to have alcohol on board so we can ensure the appropriate policies and deposits are in place. Please note that for safety and cleanliness, kegs and glass bottles may be restricted. Always check with your reservation specialist when booking.
Where can the bus pick us up?
Your charter bus can pick you up at almost any location in Irvine or the surrounding areas, provided there is legal and safe access for a large commercial vehicle. Common pickup spots include hotels, business parks, schools, airports (like John Wayne Airport/SNA), and private residences. If your pickup location has narrow streets or restrictions on heavy vehicles, our team will work with you to determine the closest safe meeting point.
How far in advance should I book my bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed.
