Learn MoreWedding Shuttles & Transportation
Wedding planning involves countless decisions to be made, but guest transportation doesn’t have to be stressful! Booking a wedding charter bus rental with Charter Bus Santa Monica can help check several things off of your to-do list at once, keeping guest transportation simple for the wedding party and guests alike. If your venue is far from the city or has limited parking, guests will have a more enjoyable experience with a charter bus shuttle service rather than coordinating carpools or relying on rideshare apps. Your Charter Bus Santa Monica representative can help you arrange shuttle routes to and from wedding venues, hotels, airports, and other locations. It’s also possible to personalize wedding day transportation for the wedding party. Reserve a stylish minibus for you and your bridal party as you take photos at Santa Monica’s most iconic spots. From the beach to the Santa Monica Pier, to a fun bachelor party around Downtown Santa Monica, or even to Disneyland for a bachelorette celebration, your wedding group can comfortably travel while a driver handles all the details.

Learn MorePrivate Event Transportation
Planning a private group trip around LA? Whether your group includes family, friends, or a wedding party, you’ll likely be taking the 405 or 10 freeways on your travels throughout Southern California. But as any Southern Californian knows, these roads are no stranger to gridlock, especially during peak travel seasons. And when you’re headed to a fun event like your best friend’s birthday party at the Santa Monica Pier or a concert at the Greek Theatre, the last thing you probably want to worry about is LA traffic. You could always get a taxi or rideshare, or take public transit (if there’s a stop near your destination), but if you have a large group of people, it can be tough to coordinate, and you probably don’t want to separate from the people you’re supposed to be hanging out with. Instead, call Charter Bus Santa Monica and book a charter bus or mini bus for your entire group. Then, you’ll have a personal chauffeur and a private bus or mini bus to get you anywhere on your schedule. Our team are happy to make as many stops along the way as you’d like, and your group can stay comfortable and connected on the road with onboard amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and even a restroom in full-sized charter buses. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your trip, no matter what you have planned in Southern California, including Orange County, Inland Empire, and other suburbs.

Rent a Bus To Visit Santa Monica Neighborhoods
Beyond the city’s popular beachside spots, Santa Monica is composed of various neighborhoods worth exploring as a group. Make your journey smooth with a charter bus rental to transport you and your guests. Hop aboard your private motorcoach or minibus as your personal chauffeur takes you around these neighborhoods:
Mid-City
Mid-City runs along the border of Santa Monica and Los Angeles and is home to a mixture of historic locations, including the Museum of Jurassic Technology and the Heritage Square Museum. This is a great area for a leisurely group day trip from Santa Monica. With a driver by your side, you’ll enjoy a ride with plush seats, free WiFi, and plenty of space to stretch out while exploring the neighborhood.
Ocean Park
Ocean Park borders the water and Santa Monica and includes some of the best beach spots in the city. If your group wants to enjoy an exclusive oceanside experience and a beach that’s less crowded, try visiting Ocean Park’s stretches of pristine coastline. While the beaches on Ocean Park are popular, they aren’t as well known to many out-of-towners visiting the Santa Monica Pier.
Sunset Park
Located on the cliffs north of the Santa Monica Pier, Sunset Park is home to some of the city’s most beautiful homes. It’s a wonderful place to visit with your group if you want to enjoy the fresh air, the scenery, and the peace and quiet of a residential area. The area is easy to get to with a motorcoach and most residential streets have free parking for all vehicle types.
