Los Angeles Charter Bus Rentals

Frequently Asked Questions about Los Angeles Charter Bus Rentals

When should I book my bus?

While we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests with a few days’ notice, we recommend reserving your bus rental a few months in advance to ensure the best availability. If you’re traveling during the summer busy season (March to May), over a holiday weekend, or during a major event, it’s best to book at least 6 months ahead of your group trip.

Where can I go with my bus rental?
Anywhere there’s a road! Champion Charter Bus serves all of Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Riverside. Need to get out of town? We can easily connect you to a bus that offers seamless service to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and beyond!

What’s the traffic like in LA?

According to the TomTom Traffic Index, Los Angeles is the second-worst city when it comes to road congestion (second only to NYC). On average, commuters spend 75 hours per year stuck in gridlock. To avoid the worst of LA traffic, aim to stay off the roads on major travel holidays such as July 4th, Memorial Day, and Christmas.

Where can you park a charter bus in Los Angeles?

Los Angeles is a “car city”—most visitors traverse the town on wheels, so there are plenty of garages and lots around the city. While most garages won’t have the height necessary to accommodate a motorcoach, most surface lots should be able to park a charter bus. If your bus driver needs a place to park your bus rental overnight, check out the city of Los Angeles’ detailed listings of parking spots.

What’s the weather like in LA?

Los Angeles is often considered Mediterranean-like in climate. That means you can expect warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters when you visit—so pack accordingly!

Visit LA Sporting Events without Stress

The Metro LA area is home to twelve professional sports and even more collegiate and high school sports leagues—so every day is game day! Whether you root for the Lakers, the Dodgers, the Rams, or a group of student-athletes, you can trust Champion Charter Bus to provide stress-free sporting event group transportation to every stadium in town.

Tailgates and away games have never been easier than with a Los Angeles charter bus on your side. Store equipment, coolers, and luggage in the coach’s undercarriage bay so your players, staff, and fans have plenty of room to stretch out in the climate-controlled cabin.

Whatever it takes to get your group’s head in the game, our team will be happy to make it happen!

Private Group Bus Trips Made Easy

If there is one thing we know to be true about LA, it’s that there is a lot to keep your group busy. Whether you’re checking out the filming locations of your favorite movies, living it up in LA's top patio restaurants, visiting the area’s beautiful national parks, traveling around town with family into Thousand Oaks or Palmdale, or planning your dream wedding on the beach—Champion Charter Bus is here to help.

Rather than relying on expensive rideshares or navigating LA public transit with a large group, everyone can simply step about your private bus rental and rest assured they’ll arrive right when and where you need to be. Plus, if you split the cost of your LA bus rental amongst the passengers, it will likely cost the same (if not less!) as hailing multiple Ubers or cabs. Not to mention all the fun amenities you won’t find on other modes of transportation, including free WiFi, a DVD player, private restrooms, and more!

• Your passenger count. In order to pair your group with the ideal bus model, we need to know how many people need a ride! Keeping it exclusive as you tour the nearby wine country?
