A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Glen Helen Amphitheater: The King of Outdoor Concerts
When it comes to live music in the Inland Empire, nothing compares to the scale of the Glen Helen Amphitheater (2575 Glen Helen Pkwy, San Bernardino, CA 92407). As the largest outdoor music venue in the United States, this massive amphitheater boasts a capacity of 65,000 people, hosting everything from legendary rock bands to day-long heavy metal festivals. While the venue offers incredible acoustics and stunning views of the San Gabriel Mountains, getting there can be a challenge. The venue is located in Devore, where the I-15 and I-215 freeways converge, leading to significant bottlenecks before and after shows. Furthermore, general parking often involves parking in grassy or dirt fields that can result in long walks and dusty shoes before you even reach the gate.
By booking a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino, you can bypass the stress of navigating the congestion in the Cajon Pass. Your driver will drop your group off as close to the entrance as possible, allowing you to head straight for the merchandise stands or your seats on the lawn. Our buses are equipped with powerful air conditioning—a must for those hot San Bernardino summer afternoons—and plenty of storage space for your blankets, lawn chairs, and picnic supplies. After the encore, you won’t have to fight thousands of cars to exit the lot; your driver will be ready and waiting to whisk you away to your next destination or back home comfortably.
Rave and Festival Culture at the NOS Events Center
The National Orange Show (NOS) Events Center (689 S E St, San Bernardino, CA 92408) is a landmark in San Bernardino, famous for hosting some of the most spectacular electronic dance music (EDM) festivals in the world. Events like Escape Halloween, Countdown NYE, and Beyond Wonderland draw tens of thousands of attendees from across the country. These multi-day festivals are high-energy experiences, but they also come with logistical hurdles: expensive rideshare surge pricing, scarce parking, and the need for safe, reliable transportation late at night. For large groups of friends—often referred to as "rave fams"—staying together is crucial for safety and enjoyment.
A party bus or minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino is the ultimate hack for festival-goers. Instead of splitting up into multiple Ubers or worrying about cell service in the crowded lots, your entire group can travel in a single vehicle. You can keep the energy high with our onboard sound systems and LED lighting while heading to the venue, and more importantly, you have a guaranteed safe ride home when the music stops in the early morning hours. We can arrange daily shuttle services for multi-day festivals, picking you up from your hotel or Airbnb and dropping you off right at the rideshare/bus loop at the NOS Center. Secure your festival transportation early by calling 760-718-1780, as these weekends are some of our busiest of the year!
High-Stakes Entertainment at Yaamava' Resort & Casino
Just a short drive from downtown San Bernardino lies the luxurious Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel (777 San Manuel Blvd, Highland, CA 92346). Formerly known as San Manuel Casino, this world-class destination features a stunning theater that attracts A-list comedians, chart-topping musicians, and international acts. Whether you are planning a bachelor party, a corporate retreat, or a birthday celebration, a trip to Yaamava' is synonymous with style and excitement. However, coordinating a large group for dinner, gambling, and a show requires precision timing that personal vehicles simply cannot provide.
With a private charter bus rental, your group can enjoy the VIP treatment from the moment you leave your doorstep. Our motorcoaches feature plush, reclining seats and WiFi, allowing your group to relax or socialize on the drive up Highland Avenue. If you are planning a corporate outing, the bus serves as an excellent mobile meeting space before you arrive. Once there, your driver will handle the drop-off at the designated bus entrance, ensuring your group enters the casino together. Whether you win big at the slots or just enjoy a spectacular concert at the Yaamava’ Theater, Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino ensures your ride home is safe, comfortable, and worry-free.
Cultural Nights at the California Theatre of the Performing Arts
For those seeking a more traditional cultural experience, the California Theatre of the Performing Arts (562 W 4th St, San Bernardino, CA 92401) is a historic gem located in the heart of downtown. Built in 1928, this venue hosts Broadway touring companies, the San Bernardino Symphony, and various community events. It is a popular destination for school field trips , senior citizen groups, and lovers of the arts. However, downtown parking can be limited, and navigating the one-way streets around the theater can be confusing for drivers unfamiliar with the area.
Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino specializes in providing transportation for arts and cultural groups. If you are a teacher organizing a field trip to see a matinee performance, our buses provide a safe and controlled environment for students, with onboard DVD players to keep them entertained during the drive. For senior groups, the drivers can provide curb-to-curb service, minimizing the amount of walking required to get from the vehicle to the theater seats. We can also arrange for post-show transportation to nearby dining establishments, making for a complete evening of culture and cuisine in San Bernardino.
Cruisin' the Route 66 Rendezvous
San Bernardino has a deep connection to the historic Route 66, and the city celebrates this heritage with various car shows and cruising events throughout the year, most notably the Route 66 Rendezvous. These events transform the downtown streets into a showcase of classic cars, hot rods, and nostalgia. While these events are fantastic for pedestrians, they are a nightmare for parking. Streets are closed off for blocks, and finding a spot for a single car—let alone a convoy of them—is nearly impossible near the city center.
Renting a charter bus allows your car club or enthusiast group to attend these events without the stress of navigating road closures. We can drop your group off at a designated perimeter location, allowing you to walk right into the heart of the action. After a day of admiring vintage automobiles and enjoying local food vendors, your air-conditioned bus will be waiting to take you home. This is particularly beneficial during the warm autumn months when the asphalt radiates heat; having a cool, comfortable place to retreat to at the end of the day makes all the difference.
CSU San Bernardino and Coussoulis Arena Events
California State University, San Bernardino (5500 University Pkwy, San Bernardino, CA 92407) is a major hub for educational and athletic events in the region. The Coussoulis Arena on campus hosts everything from university basketball and volleyball games to high school graduations and large-scale speaking engagements. During graduation season in May and June, the traffic on University Parkway can back up for miles, and campus parking structures fill to capacity rapidly. Families traveling with elderly relatives often find the trek from the parking garages to the arena challenging.
Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino offers the perfect solution for large families and school groups attending events at CSUSB. By consolidating your group into one vehicle, you reduce the number of cars trying to enter the campus, helping to alleviate congestion. The drivers can drop passengers off near the arena entrance (following campus traffic protocols), ensuring that everyone—including grandparents and those with mobility issues—can attend the ceremony or game with ease. We also provide transportation for visiting athletic teams, offering ample undercarriage storage for sports gear and equipment.
Nearby Festivals: Coachella and Stagecoach Shuttles
While located in the Coachella Valley, the world-famous Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Stagecoach Festival are major draws for residents of San Bernardino and the Inland Empire. The drive to the Empire Polo Club in Indio is approximately an hour east on I-10, but during festival weekends, that drive can double or triple in time. Many festival-goers choose to stay in San Bernardino or nearby Redlands to save on accommodation costs, necessitating a daily commute to the festival grounds.
Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino is your go-to provider for private festival shuttles . We can set up a custom itinerary that picks your group up from your hotel in San Bernardino and takes you directly to the festival's charter bus lot. Our buses are perfect for storing camping gear if you are staying on-site, or for providing a comfortable, air-conditioned nap space on the ride back after a long day of music in the desert sun. With amenities like reclining seats, power outlets to charge your dying phones, and auxiliary inputs to keep the playlist going, the ride to Indio becomes the pre-game party.

Frequently Asked Questions About San Bernardino Concert Transportation
Can we drink alcohol on the bus?
Yes, in most cases, passengers of legal drinking age (21+) are permitted to consume alcohol on our party buses and charter buses. However, this must be disclosed at the time of booking so we can ensure the appropriate vehicle and policies are in place. We strictly prohibit alcohol on any trips involving minors, such as school field trips or prom rentals. A refundable cleaning deposit may be required. Please ask your reservation specialist for details regarding our alcohol policy when you call.
How much parking is available at Glen Helen Amphitheater?
While Glen Helen Amphitheater has extensive parking capacity (mostly grass and dirt lots), it fills up incredibly fast for sold-out shows. The traffic getting into these lots can take upwards of an hour or more off the I-15. By renting a charter bus, you utilize a dedicated entrance and drop-off zone for buses, which significantly cuts down on wait times and eliminates the long walk from the general parking areas.
Do your buses have air conditioning?
Absolutely. We know how hot San Bernardino can get, especially during the summer and early fall festival seasons. All of our charter buses, minibuses, and party buses are equipped with powerful, modern climate control systems to ensure your group stays cool and comfortable, regardless of the temperature outside.
Where does the bus pick us up after the event?
For most major venues like the NOS Events Center, Glen Helen Amphitheater, or Yaamava' Resort, there are designated charter bus holding areas or specific pick-up zones. Your driver will communicate exactly where they will be parked or where they will meet you once the event concludes. We recommend exchanging contact information with your driver upon arrival to ensure smooth communication during egress.
Can we leave our belongings on the bus during the concert?
Yes, you can leave personal items like coolers, changes of clothes, or merchandise on the bus during the event. Your driver will stay with the vehicle or lock it securely while you are inside the venue. However, Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino is not responsible for lost or stolen items, so we always recommend taking valuables like wallets, phones, and expensive electronics with you.
