Pricing depends on the type of bus you choose, how long you need it, the day of the week, and any stops along the route. A Saturday night party bus rolling from Santa Monica to West Hollywood costs differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer to LAX — and a 56-passenger motorcoach for a corporate conference shuttle prices differently than a 20-passenger minibus for a wine tour up to Malibu. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form right now, or call 310-504-9250 and a live agent will build a custom quote around your itinerary.

Find and Compare Options From Providers Serving Santa Monica
Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com is built around one idea: booking group transportation should not be a second job. Traditionally, finding a charter bus meant hunting down local companies, calling each one during business hours, describing your trip over and over, and trying to compare quotes that never quite lined up. Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com replaces all of that with one form and one results page.
Because Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com is a quote-comparison and advertising website — not a bus company — you're comparing across a large network of independently owned transportation providers serving Santa Monica and the entire Los Angeles metro. That means more bus types to choose from, more price points to compare, and more packages available for your specific date and itinerary. One search, and the options come to you.
You can view vehicle photos, compare amenities, and see pricing side-by-side without ever picking up the phone. And if you'd rather talk it through, a live team is available at 310-504-9250 every day of the year — no voicemail maze. Whether you need a single minibus for a rehearsal dinner pickup on Ocean Avenue or a fleet of charter buses for a multi-day corporate retreat, Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com makes comparing your options fast and finding the right bus even faster.
Fill out the form now and see what's available for your date!
Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com is here for every kind of group trip — airport transfers, concerts, corporate events, proms, weddings, wine tours, sporting events, and more. Whatever brings your group together in Santa Monica and greater Los Angeles, you can find and book the right transportation right here. Browse the services below and fill out a quote for the one that fits your plans!

Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com can connect you with airport shuttle buses sized to your exact group — whether you're moving six executives or 50 conference attendees. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) is just 7 miles from Santa Monica via the I-10 East to I-405 South, making it one of the most common runs in the entire network. But that 7-mile drive can take anywhere from 15 minutes at midnight to well over an hour during the Friday afternoon crawl on Lincoln Boulevard — which is exactly why one bus beats splitting your group across four separate rideshares at LAX surge pricing.
Charter bus pickup at LAX happens on the Lower/Arrivals Level curbside. Gather your entire group and all luggage before calling for the bus, since California caps commercial vehicle idling at 5 minutes and the bus will stage off-airport until your group is ready to board. For groups flying into Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) or Long Beach Airport (LGB), the same one-form process finds the right vehicle for those runs too.
Fill out the form or call 310-504-9250 to lock in your Los Angeles airport transportation today!

This is where a party bus or charter bus pays for itself before the first song even starts. The Hollywood Bowl (2301 N Highland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90068) is about 20 miles from Santa Monica via the I-10 East to US-101 North — and in the Bowl's own words, "all parking lots are stack parked and there is no early exit." Every car in Lot A is boxed in until the entire lot clears.
Your bus skips all of it: one oversized-vehicle pass ($90, purchased in advance through the Bowl Box Office) covers the whole group, and while every stacked car waits out the post-show gridlock, you're already on the 101 heading back to the coast.
Heading to Crypto.com Arena (1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) for a Lakers game or a major touring act? Commercial vehicle drop-off runs on Figueroa Street, and your bus handles the I-10 traffic while your group handles the pregame energy. For Los Angeles concert transportation from Santa Monica to any venue in the metro, fill out the form or call 310-504-9250 now!

With Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com, you'll find corporate shuttle buses for every business need — conference transfers, client pickups, off-site meetings, and multi-day event logistics across the Westside and downtown Los Angeles. Santa Monica is home to a dense concentration of tech and media companies along the "Silicon Beach" corridor, and getting a team from a hotel on Ocean Avenue to a meeting in Culver City or a conference at the LA Convention Center (1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) without fighting the I-10 in a dozen separate cars is exactly what a corporate charter bus solves.
Popular Santa Monica corporate venues like Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel (1700 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401) and Shutters on the Beach (1 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90405) both sit on Ocean Avenue and Pico Boulevard — easy bus drop-off, no parking structure headaches. Compare minibuses and full-size coaches with WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats for your team, and find the bus that keeps your schedule on track. Call 310-504-9250 or fill out the form for a Los Angeles corporate charter bus quote in seconds!

It's never been easier to set up a recurring employee shuttle for your Santa Monica or Westside team. Los Angeles drivers lose approximately 86 hours a year to traffic congestion — more than two full work weeks stuck on the I-10, I-405, and Lincoln Boulevard instead of at a desk. A dedicated employee shuttle route turns that dead commute time into productive (or at least comfortable) time, and it takes the parking cost and the parking hunt completely off the table for your team.
Whether you need a daily route connecting a Culver City office to Santa Monica neighborhoods, a weekly run between a Playa Vista campus and a downtown parking structure, or temporary transportation while your lot is under construction, Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com helps you find the right bus for the route and the headcount. Compare available vehicles with climate control, WiFi, and reclining seats — the amenities that make a daily commute something your team actually looks forward to. Fill out the form or call 310-504-9250 to get your Los Angeles employee shuttle service started!

Booking government and military group transportation through Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com is straightforward. Whether you're coordinating personnel transfers, training event logistics, base-to-base moves, or multi-day transportation for a government conference in the Los Angeles area, the network includes full-size motorcoaches and minibuses sized for any headcount. ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts and wider aisle configurations are available through the network — just mention your accessibility requirements when you fill out the quote form or call 310-504-9250.
For large-scale government events at the LA Convention Center or multi-day operations requiring vehicles across several days, Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare packages side-by-side and find the bus that fits your operational requirements.

Whatever the destination, Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com helps you find full-size motorcoaches for long-distance group travel from Santa Monica to anywhere in California and beyond. Las Vegas is about 270 miles from Santa Monica via I-15 — a 4-to-5-hour ride that's infinitely more comfortable in a reclining seat with WiFi and an onboard restroom than it is in a cramped car. San Diego is roughly 120 miles south on I-5.
San Francisco is about 380 miles north on US-101 or I-5.
Full-size 56-passenger charter buses come with undercarriage luggage bays that handle full-size suitcases alongside carry-ons — critical for overnight trips where your group is actually packing. Compare long-distance packages by the day or by mileage, and find the motorcoach with the amenities your group needs for the haul: climate control, reclining seats, power outlets, WiFi, and onboard restrooms. Call 310-504-9250 or fill out the form for a Los Angeles long-distance charter bus quote today!

Choosing a bus for your private event in Santa Monica means your group arrives together, stays together, and leaves together — no parking scrambles, no split rideshares, no one texting "where are you?" from the wrong side of the Pier. Birthday dinners on the Third Street Promenade. Anniversary celebrations at a rooftop restaurant in Brentwood.
Family reunions moving between the Santa Monica Pier and a private venue in Pacific Palisades. Whatever the occasion, Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com helps you find the bus that fits your headcount and your itinerary.
Party buses with built-in bars, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound systems make the ride itself part of the celebration — the energy starts at pickup and doesn't stop until the last drop-off. Minibuses keep smaller groups comfortable and on schedule without the cost of a full-size coach. Compare available options for your date and your guest count, and find the package that works.

Just so you know: prom season in Santa Monica and across the Westside fills up faster than almost any other time of year. Santa Monica High School (Samohi) and schools across the Los Angeles Unified and Santa Monica-Malibu Unified districts all schedule their dances in April and May — and every group is looking for the same buses on the same weekends. Waiting until March to start looking means fewer options and higher prices.
Booking in December or January means you get the bus your group actually wants at a price that makes sense.
Party buses with LED lighting, a built-in bar setup, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating make prom night something your group talks about for years. Compare available sizes — a 20-passenger party bus for a tight friend group, a 40-passenger for the whole group — and find the one that fits. Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare pictures, packages, and pricing in one place. Fill out the form or call 310-504-9250 to lock in your Los Angeles prom transportation before the date fills!

Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com makes it possible to compare school buses, minibuses, and full-size charter buses for field trips from Santa Monica to destinations across the Los Angeles area — all in one place, without calling five companies during the school day. The California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037) is about 15 miles from Santa Monica and is home to Space Shuttle Endeavour — bus parking is in Lot 6 at Exposition Park, designated for oversized vehicles at $42 per day, with drop-off on Exposition Park Drive. The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007) sits right next door and shares the same Lot 6 bus parking.
For a closer option, the Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049) is just 5 miles from Santa Monica — buses use the dedicated bus entrance on Getty Center Drive and park in the designated bus lot; advance reservation is required through the Getty. Match the bus to your student and chaperone headcount, confirm your accessibility needs, and compare your options in one place. Call 310-504-9250 or fill out the form for a fast quote!

One bus to SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301) beats a caravan of cars fighting the I-405 each time. Charter buses and oversized vehicles drop off on the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court — accessed via westbound Pincay Drive using the GPS destination address 3178 Pincay Dr, Inglewood, CA 90305. Bus parking is in the Hyundai Pink Zone Lot P only, and it requires a specialized POVR pass purchased in advance.
Standard lots prohibit charter buses entirely, so the parking is handled before game day, not in the entry lane.
Heading to a Dodger Stadium (1000 Vin Scully Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012) game instead? Buses enter at Sunset Gate A off Vin Scully Avenue with one prepaid oversized-vehicle pass ($65, purchased in advance, cashless at the gate). For UCLA Bruins games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena or events at Pauley Pavilion in Westwood, the network has buses for those runs too.
Compare party buses and charter buses for your game-day group and find the right size for your group. Call 310-504-9250 or fill out the form for a Los Angeles sporting event bus rental quote!

Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com lets you compare wedding shuttle buses for every leg of your big day — from hotel pickups along Ocean Avenue to your ceremony, through the reception, and back to the hotel for the last guests of the night. Santa Monica's most sought-after wedding venues sit right on the water: Shutters on the Beach and Hotel Casa del Mar (1910 Ocean Way, Santa Monica, CA 90405) both access via Pico Boulevard and Ocean Way, with bus drop-off on Pico or Ocean Avenue — no parking structure required.
Want white, black, or silver buses to match your wedding colors? Just mention it when you fill out the quote. Need an ADA-accessible vehicle for a family member?
The network has those too — say so in the form. One bus keeps your out-of-town guests from getting turned around on Ocean Avenue, and it means nobody drives home from the reception.

Planning a wine tour from Santa Monica? You have two great directions to choose from, and Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com makes finding the right bus for either one incredibly easy. Head north up PCH toward Malibu Wine Safaris & Malibu Wines & Beer Garden (32111 Mulholland Hwy, Malibu, CA 91302) — about 25 miles via PCH and Kanan Dume Road.
The road up Mulholland Highway is winding and narrow, which makes a minibus the smarter call over a full-size coach for that run. Or go long: the Santa Ynez Valley wine country around Solvang and Los Olivos is about 100 miles north on US-101 — a perfect full-day charter bus trip with wineries including Firestone Vineyard and Zaca Mesa.
For local craft brewery stops closer to home, El Segundo Brewing Company (140 Main St, El Segundo, CA 90245) is just 7 miles south via Lincoln Boulevard — easy to add as a first stop on a coastal brewery crawl. Your group sets the stops and the timing. Santamonicacharterbuscompany.com finds the bus. Fill out the form or call 310-504-9250 to compare vehicles for your Los Angeles wine tour transportation today!

Charter bus pickup and drop-off at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) happens on the Lower/Arrivals Level curbside, in the designated commercial vehicle zone outside baggage claim. Do not walk to the rideshare pickup area — rideshare pickup at LAX is in a separate designated lot, and it is the most common way a group ends up waiting in the wrong place. Gather your entire group and all luggage at baggage claim before calling for the bus, since California law caps commercial vehicle idling at 5 minutes.
The bus will stage off-airport and pull to the curb once your group is ready to board. LAX is approximately 7 miles from Santa Monica via I-10 East to I-405 South — 15 to 20 minutes off-peak, 45 to 60 minutes or more during Friday afternoon rush.
Charter buses and oversized vehicles (seating 16 or more passengers) drop off on the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court, accessed via westbound Pincay Drive. Use the GPS destination address 3178 Pincay Dr, Inglewood, CA 90305 for your itinerary — the venue's street address will not route you to the correct bus entrance. On-site bus parking is in the Hyundai Pink Zone Lot P only.
Standard single-space lots prohibit charter buses entirely. A specialized POVR (RV/Bus) parking pass must be purchased in advance — day-of availability is not guaranteed. Reserve the parking pass when you reserve the bus, not after.
SoFi Stadium is approximately 12 miles from Santa Monica via I-10 East to I-405 South.
The Hollywood Bowl is approximately 20 miles from Santa Monica via I-10 East to US-101 North — roughly 35 to 50 minutes off-peak, longer on a show night. The Bowl's own published policy states that "all parking lots are stack parked and there is no early exit," which means every car is boxed in until the full lot clears after the show. A charter bus avoids the entire situation: one oversized-vehicle pass ($90, purchased in advance through the Hollywood Bowl Box Office) covers the group, and the bus can stage off-site and pick everyone up at a pre-arranged point.
Lots open three hours before showtime. Review timing details on the official Hollywood Bowl parking page before your visit.
Summer — Memorial Day through Labor Day — is the peak season for Santa Monica bus rentals, driven by beach events, bachelorette parties, and coastal wine tours. April and May add prom season pressure across the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified and Los Angeles Unified school districts. February brings Frieze LA to Barker Hangar at the former Santa Monica Airport, one of the highest-demand charter events in the area.
NFL season from September through January fills buses to SoFi Stadium for Rams and Chargers games. Coachella weekends in April send enormous demand through the entire LA metro. For any of these dates, book three to six months out.
Waiting until the last minute means fewer vehicles and higher prices.
Yes — with one important vehicle consideration. Pacific Coast Highway runs along a single lane in many stretches between Santa Monica and Malibu, and the road up Mulholland Highway to Malibu Wine Safaris & Malibu Wines & Beer Garden is winding and narrow. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus handles those roads significantly more easily than a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach.
When you fill out the quote form, mention that your destination includes Mulholland Highway — quote-request help can match you with a vehicle that navigates the route cleanly. For longer wine country runs to the Santa Ynez Valley (about 100 miles north on US-101), a full-size coach is perfectly suited and makes the drive comfortable for the whole group.
Yes. The Getty Center requires buses to use the dedicated bus entrance on Getty Center Drive — not the standard visitor tram entrance. Bus parking is in the designated bus lot, and advance reservation is required through the Getty before your visit.
Do not assume day-of availability. The Getty is approximately 5 miles from Santa Monica via I-10 East to I-405 North, making it one of the closest major cultural destinations for Santa Monica school field trips and tour groups. Review current access requirements and reserve your bus parking spot on the official Getty Center parking and transportation page before booking.
Book three to six months out for most Santa Monica trips. Stretch that to six months or more for any date that falls during summer beach season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), prom season in April and May, Frieze LA in February, Coachella weekends in April, or NFL Sundays at SoFi Stadium from September through January. The Los Angeles charter bus market moves fast on high-demand dates — the same weekend that's wide open in January can be nearly sold out by March.
The earlier you compare, the more vehicles you'll have to choose from and the better the pricing. Call 310-504-9250 right now to lock in your date, or fill out the form for instant online pricing!
