A few of the companies we’ve worked with
San Bernardino National Forest & Big Bear Lake
One of the greatest assets of San Bernardino is its immediate proximity to the wilderness. The San Bernardino National Forest offers year-round recreation, from skiing and snowboarding at Big Bear Mountain Resort in the winter to hiking and boating in the summer. However, getting a large group up the mountain is no small feat. The drive up Highway 18 (often called the "Rim of the World" Highway) or Highway 330 involves steep grades, sharp switchbacks, and, in winter months, mandatory tire chain controls.
For school groups, ski clubs, or corporate retreats, renting a charter bus is the safest and most efficient way to ascend the mountains. The drivers can do mountain driving and to handle large vehicles on winding roads. We can transport your group to Big Bear Lake (630 Bartlett Road, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315) or Lake Arrowhead Village (28200 CA-189, Lake Arrowhead, CA 92352) comfortably. Your group can enjoy the breathtaking views without the white-knuckle stress of driving, and we offer ample undercarriage storage for skis, snowboards, coolers, and hiking gear.
The Original McDonald's Site and Museum
For pop culture enthusiasts and history buffs, a visit to the site of the very first McDonald's is a must. Located on historic Route 66, this location is not a functioning restaurant but a museum packed with memorabilia, vintage menus, and happy meal toys from decades past. It is a quirky, nostalgic stop that offers a fascinating look into the birth of the fast-food industry right here in San Bernardino.
Located at 1398 N E St, San Bernardino, CA 92405 (Phone: 760-718-1780), the museum is a popular stop for tour groups and school field trips exploring the history of the Inland Empire. Parking can be tight in the immediate lot, making a minibus rental the perfect solution. Your driver can drop your group right at the entrance for a tour and photos with the murals, then wait nearby until you are ready to head to your next Route 66 destination. It’s a seamless way to experience a slice of Americana without the hassle of street parking.
Glen Helen Amphitheater
As the largest outdoor music venue in the United States, the Glen Helen Amphitheater draws massive crowds for festivals like Rock the Bells and Nocturnal Wonderland. Located at 2575 Glen Helen Pkwy, San Bernardino, CA 92407, the venue can hold up to 65,000 people. While the concerts are legendary, the traffic getting into and out of the venue via I-15 and I-215 can be a nightmare, and the walk from the general parking lots is often long and dusty.
Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino provides the ultimate concert upgrade with our festival shuttle services. Whether you are a large group of friends or a fan club, booking a party bus or charter bus ensures the party starts the moment you leave your pickup location. You can pregame with your own music and drinks (for passengers of legal age) while we navigate the gridlock. Buses often have dedicated drop-off zones that get you closer to the entrance than standard general parking, saving your legs for dancing. After the encore, you have a safe, air-conditioned ride waiting for you, eliminating the need for designated drivers or waiting hours for a rideshare.
Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel
Just a short drive from downtown San Bernardino in Highland, Yaamava' Resort & Casino (formerly San Manuel Casino) is a premier destination for adult groups looking for entertainment, fine dining, and gaming. Located at 777 San Manuel Blvd, Highland, CA 92346 (Phone: 760-718-1780), this massive resort features luxury gaming, a state-of-the-art theater for concerts, and high-end restaurants.
For bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or corporate nights out, a party bus rental is the only way to travel. We offer round-trip transportation that ensures everyone in your group can enjoy the amenities responsibly. The drivers act as your designated driver for the night, picking you up from your homes or hotels and dropping you off right at the casino valet or bus entrance. There is no need to coordinate meeting spots inside or worry about finding your car in the massive parking structures at 2 AM. Ride in style with LED lighting and premium sound systems, making the transit as fun as the destination.
California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB)
Located at the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains, CSUSB is a major educational hub for the region. Whether you are a high school counselor organizing a campus tour for prospective students or a visiting athletic team competing at the Coussoulis Arena, reliable transportation is key to keeping your itinerary on track. The campus is located at 5500 University Pkwy, San Bernardino, CA 92407.
Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino specializes in academic transportation. We can provide a fleet of charter buses for large "Senior Day" events or a single minibus for a specific club outing. Unlike yellow school buses, our charter buses come equipped with air conditioning—a non-negotiable necessity during the hot San Bernardino academic year—as well as WiFi and power outlets, allowing students to stay engaged or complete homework on the road. We are familiar with the campus layout, including designated bus loading zones near the Student Union and admissions office, ensuring a smooth arrival and departure for your students and faculty.
Rim of the World Scenic Byway
Sometimes, the drive itself is the attraction. The Rim of the World Scenic Byway (State Highway 18) offers some of the most spectacular vistas in Southern California, overlooking the entire San Bernardino Valley. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Groups often request this route for sightseeing tours, photography clubs, or simply as a scenic detour on the way to mountain retreats.
Driving this route in a caravan of cars allows for little opportunity to actually enjoy the view, as drivers must keep their eyes glued to the winding road. By renting a charter bus with large panoramic windows, every member of your group can sit back and take in the stunning scenery safely. Your driver can manage the turnout stops for photo opportunities at designated vista points, ensuring safety and ease. It transforms a potentially stressful drive into a relaxing sightseeing experience.
San Bernardino History and Railroad Museum
Located within the historic Santa Fe Depot at 1170 W 3rd St, San Bernardino, CA 92410, this museum is a hidden gem for railfans and history groups. San Bernardino was built on the railroad industry, and this museum showcases that heritage with vintage clocks, antique handcars, and massive steam locomotives on display outside.
This is an excellent destination for educational field trips or senior citizen tour groups. Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino makes visiting the depot easy. The museum is located in a busy part of downtown near the Metrolink station, where parking can be confusing for individual drivers. Our buses can drop your group curbside for easy access to the depot. For senior groups, our buses can be equipped with kneeling features or ADA-accessible lifts, ensuring that everyone can participate in exploring the rich history of the Santa Fe Railroad without mobility concerns.
Fiesta Village Family Fun Park
For youth groups, summer camps, and family reunions, Fiesta Village Family Fun Park is a staple of Inland Empire entertainment. Located at 1405 E Washington St, Colton, CA 92324, right on the border of San Bernardino, this park features go-karts, mini-golf, laser tag, and a water park area. It is a high-energy destination perfect for burning off steam.
Coordinating transportation for fifty excited teenagers or a massive extended family can be chaotic. Charter Bus Rental Company San Bernardino streamlines the process. We can pick up your group from a school, church, or community center and transport everyone together. This ensures that you arrive as a single unit, making check-in and wristband distribution much faster. Plus, after a long day in the sun, the air-conditioned ride home offers a welcome chance for everyone to cool down and rest. The onboard DVD players are perfect for keeping younger kids entertained with a movie during the ride back.

Frequently Asked Questions About San Bernardino Group Travel 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. This is a popular option for bachelor/bachelorette parties heading to casinos or concerts. However, we do require a refundable security deposit for trips involving alcohol to cover any potential cleaning fees. Please inform our reservation team at the time of booking if you plan to have alcohol on board so we can ensure the proper policies are in place.
How far in advance should I book my bus rental?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. For travel within San Bernardino, we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. If you are planning a trip during peak seasons—such as prom season (April-June) or major festival weekends at Glen Helen Amphitheater—we recommend booking 6 to 9 months ahead to ensure availability and the best pricing.
Do you offer transportation to destinations outside of San Bernardino?
Absolutely! While we specialize in San Bernardino, we service the entire state of California and beyond. We regularly transport groups to Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Whether you need a charter bus for a multi-day tour of the National Parks or a simple transfer to LAX, we can accommodate your long-distance travel needs with comfortable, long-haul motorcoaches.
Is there a minimum rental time for a charter bus?
Yes, most of our bus rentals come with a standard minimum rental period, typically ranging from 4 to 5 hours. This ensures we can provide fair compensation for the drivers and cover the preparation of the vehicle. However, specific minimums can vary based on the date, time of year, and type of vehicle. Call our team at 760-718-1780 to discuss your specific timeline and we will find a package that works for you.
What if our trip goes longer than scheduled?
We understand that events don't always run exactly to the minute—baseball games go into extra innings and concerts have encores. If your trip runs longer than the contracted time, you will be billed for the additional time at the hourly rate specified in your rental agreement. However, please communicate with your driver or our dispatch team if you anticipate a significant delay, as strict federal regulations regarding driver hours of service must be adhered to for safety.
