Bus Rentals Available For Any Event
Charter Bus Services We Offer in Riverside
Give your group the transportation experience they deserve! Busrentalcompanyriverside.com makes it easy to find and book Riverside bus rentals for every type of event and every type of group. From airport shuttles to wedding transportation, prom buses to corporate shuttles... whatever brings your group together, you can find a bus in the network for it. Browse the services below!
Riverside Airport Transfer Charter Bus Rentals
Start your trip the right way with a private Riverside airport shuttle bus for your whole group. Ontario International Airport (ONT) (2500 E Airport Dr, Ontario, CA 91761) sits about 15 miles west of downtown Riverside, and its ground transportation rules let buses unload at the inner curb of each terminal and wait for longer periods in the bus holding area at Terminal 1 (1940 East Moore Way). ONT's charter paperwork lists the group's airline, flight number, and arrival time, so mention your flight details when you request your quote.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) is about 60 miles from Riverside, and commercial vehicles there can't wait at the curb for longer than 45 seconds, so one bus with one planned pickup beats juggling rideshares on the 91 or the 60 Freeway.
Large groups flying out of Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) (3400 E Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262) will also love the convenience of a private airport shuttle bus that loads everyone up at one stop and delivers the whole group curbside at departures. PSP's main parking lot sits directly across from the terminal and takes all vehicle types, with oversized vehicle parking capped at $28 per day (which isn't included in your free price quote). No surge pricing.
No splitting the group across six different apps. Just one bus and one smooth ride to the terminal. Fill out one quick form to see airport shuttle options and pricing from a network of Riverside bus companies, no account needed!
Bus Rentals For Riverside Concerts & Music Festival
With Busrentalcompanyriverside.com, you can rent a bus that gets your whole group to the show without anyone worrying about parking, traffic on the 91, or who's playing designated driver at the end of the night. Riverside and the greater Inland Empire have a thriving concert scene, and a party bus or charter bus rental is the best way to experience it together. Toyota Arena (4000 E Ontario Center Pkwy, Ontario, CA 91764) bars motor coaches from its parking lots, which open 2 hours before the event starts and close an hour after it ends.
A concert bus rental skips that problem entirely, dropping your group off together and picking everyone up after the show.
Heading west to the Kia Forum (3900 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, CA 90305) or downtown to the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles? The Kia Forum allows drop-offs at all of its entrances, so the whole group steps off together without circling a parking lot. Crypto.com Arena calls its oversize vehicle space very limited and asks buses to make arrangements 10 days before the event, one more reason to rent your bus early.
A full-size charter bus handles the freeway miles while your group handles the pregame energy. And if you want that party to start the moment you leave Riverside, a 15- to 50-passenger party bus loaded with LED lighting, a built-in bar, and a premium Bluetooth sound system is exactly what you're looking for. Compare Riverside concert bus rentals online in under 30 seconds!
Corporate Event Bus Rentals in Riverside
Choosing the right group transportation for a corporate event in Riverside sets the tone before anyone even walks in the door. Whether you're shuttling executives to a conference at the Riverside Convention Center (3637 5th St, Riverside, CA 92501), moving a team between office campuses across the Inland Empire, or coordinating transportation for an off-site company retreat, Busrentalcompanyriverside.com makes it easy to find and book the right bus for your corporate needs. The convention center asks event clients bringing buses to make special arrangements ahead of time, and parking next to the center is limited to City Lot 33, so one bus that drops the whole team off together beats a dozen cars hunting for spaces.
A Riverside corporate charter bus rental means your team arrives together, without anyone fighting traffic on the 215 or the 60. Amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats let your team stay productive during the ride, or decompress after a long day. Compare sprinter vans, minibuses, and full-size motorcoaches from a large network of Riverside corporate transportation providers.
Fill out one quick form to see options and pricing online, or call 951-266-8020 to build a custom corporate shuttle package!
Riverside Employee Transportation Services
You don't have to let your employees battle the 91 Freeway, the 60, or the 215 every single morning and evening just to get to work. INRIX's 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard found the typical motorist in the Los Angeles urban area lost 86 hours to traffic delays in 2025. Closer to home, Caltrans' SR-91 pavement project in Riverside runs from just west of Van Buren Boulevard to just east of Madison Street, with occasional weekend and extended 55-hour closures until its expected finish in summer 2027.
A recurring Riverside employee shuttle bus is one of the most meaningful perks a company can offer, and it's easier to set up than most employers realize. Through Busrentalcompanyriverside.com, you can compare employee shuttle options from a network of Riverside-area transportation providers and find a package that fits your headcount, your schedule, and your route.
Need custom pickup locations, multi-stop routes, or recurring daily schedules? A live support team at 951-266-8020 is available every single day of the year to help you build a commuter shuttle program that works for YOUR company. Whether your team commutes from Corona, Moreno Valley, San Bernardino, or anywhere across Riverside County, a private employee shuttle means your workers arrive relaxed and ready to perform.
Amenities like onboard WiFi and power outlets make the commute feel productive instead of punishing. Yes, it's really that easy!
Riverside Government Bus Rentals
Use Busrentalcompanyriverside.com to find government and military bus rentals in the Riverside area. Riverside County is home to March Air Reserve Base, where the 452nd Air Mobility Wing counts more than 4,000 personnel, so moving people in groups is part of everyday life here. Coordinating transportation for personnel movements, training exercises, base-to-base transfers, or ceremonial events requires careful planning and the right vehicles.
Busrentalcompanyriverside.com connects government agencies, military units, and contractors with a large network of independent bus companies serving Riverside and the surrounding Inland Empire. Fill out one quick form to compare available vehicles, amenities, and pricing from multiple providers, or call 951-266-8020 to speak with a live agent who can put together a custom government or military transportation package for your specific mission requirements. Because we're not a bus company, you're never limited to one fleet.
You get more options, more packages, and more flexibility for YOUR operation!
Riverside Long-Distance Transportation Services
With Busrentalcompanyriverside.com, you can rent a long-distance charter bus from Riverside and travel across California or to neighboring U.S. states together. Heading north to San Francisco or Sacramento? East to Las Vegas or Phoenix?
South to San Diego? A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach loaded with reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, climate control, and undercarriage luggage bays makes long-distance group travel feel completely different than cramming into a caravan of personal vehicles.
Long-distance trips from Riverside to Los Angeles, the Bay Area, or out of state are all on the table when you compare options through Busrentalcompanyriverside.com. Metrolink's Riverside Line runs Monday through Friday only, so a weekend group trip toward Los Angeles is a natural fit for a charter bus that leaves on your schedule. Because we connect you with a large network of independent bus companies (not just one fleet), you have more options to find a bus that fits your group size, your route, and your budget.
A live support team is available at 951-266-8020 every single day of the year to help you plan multi-day itineraries and custom long-distance packages. Fill out one quick form to see pricing right now!
Riverside Event Transportation Services
In Riverside, private events come in every shape and size, and so do the buses available to serve them. Family reunions gathering cousins from across Southern California. Milestone birthday parties making the rounds through downtown Riverside.
Wine tours winding through the vineyards of Temecula, about 40 miles south. The Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association asks transportation companies to reserve before bringing guests to any member winery, especially on weekends, so list your wineries when you request your quote. Anniversary dinners at a favorite restaurant in the Mission Inn district.
Whatever the occasion, a private event bus rental in Riverside keeps your whole group together so nobody misses a single moment.
Through Busrentalcompanyriverside.com, you can compare party buses, minibuses, and charter buses from a large network of Riverside-area transportation providers and find the right fit for your group's size, style, and itinerary.

Prom & Homecoming Bus Rentals in Riverside
Whatever your prom night vision looks like (a grand entrance at the venue, a pre-party cruise through downtown Riverside, or a post-prom celebration that goes until sunrise), a Riverside prom party bus makes the whole night more memorable for everyone on board. Party buses built for prom nights typically come loaded with color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating, so the party starts the moment the first student steps on board.
Prom season in Riverside fills up fast. Students from high schools across Riverside County, including Riverside Poly High School (5450 Victoria Ave., Riverside, CA 92506), Martin Luther King High School, and Norte Vista High School, are all shopping for prom rides in the same spring season. Waiting too long to book almost always means higher prices or no availability at all.
It is strongly recommended to book your Riverside prom bus as early as possible, ideally months in advance, to lock in the best rate and the vehicle your group actually wants. Fill out one quick form today!
Religious Group Transportation Services in Riverside
Because faith communities are some of the most tightly bonded groups in Riverside, getting everyone to services, retreats, mission trips, and religious conferences together just makes sense. A Riverside religious group bus rental eliminates the chaos of coordinating carpools, rounding up volunteers with cars, and worrying about whether everyone actually showed up. One bus, one departure time, and your whole congregation or youth group arrives together, relaxed, and ready.
Riverside has a rich and diverse faith community, from historic churches in the downtown core to large congregations spread across the surrounding neighborhoods. Whether your group is heading to a multi-day retreat in the mountains, a regional conference in Los Angeles or San Diego, or a service project closer to home, Busrentalcompanyriverside.com makes it easy to compare bus options and pricing from a large network of Riverside transportation providers. Call 951-266-8020 any day of the year to put together a custom religious group transportation package for YOUR community!
Riverside Bus Rentals For School Field Trips
It's time to give students, teachers, and chaperones a field trip experience that actually starts on the right foot, and that means ditching the cramped yellow school bus for a modern, comfortable charter bus or minibus rental in Riverside. With amenities like reclining seats, overhead storage, WiFi, and a PA system for announcements, a Riverside school field trip bus keeps everyone comfortable and engaged from the moment you leave campus.
Riverside and the Inland Empire are surrounded by incredible field trip destinations. At California Citrus State Historic Park (9400 Dufferin Ave, Riverside, CA 92504), the visitor center is open Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., so a weekend field trip bus can bring the whole class in together while it's open. For campus tours at UC Riverside, the group unloads at the Bus Load/Unloading Zone at the campus flagpole turnout across from Lot 1, and a tour guide walks everyone to the Student Services Building.
Planning a day trip to the San Diego Zoo? Its front lot has no bus spaces, so buses use the striped bus spaces at the Inspiration Point lot at Park Boulevard and Presidents Way. Buses heading to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90007) park in the Green Lot off Hoover Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, at $42 per charter bus (which isn't included in your free price quote).
ADA-accessible bus options are available through the network too, so just mention your accessibility needs when you request your quote. A live support team is available at 951-266-8020 every day of the year to help schools and youth organizations plan field trip transportation that works for their schedule, their budget, and their group size!
Riverside Bus Rentals For Sports Teams & Sporting Events
Booking a sports team bus rental in Riverside takes one quick form and gets your athletes, coaches, and gear moving together in comfort. Whether you're transporting a high school varsity team to an away game across Riverside County, coordinating fan transportation to a big-league game in Los Angeles or Anaheim, or moving a club sports team to a regional tournament, a charter bus keeps everyone focused and together instead of scattered across a caravan of parent vehicles.
Full-size charter buses come with undercarriage luggage bays for equipment, overhead storage for personal bags, reclining seats, WiFi, and onboard restrooms... everything your team needs for a long travel day. Fan groups heading to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, SoFi Stadium (1001 S. Stadium Drive, Inglewood, CA 90301), or Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA will love having a private bus that drops the whole group off together and picks everyone up after the final whistle. At SoFi Stadium, buses drop guests on the northbound curb lane of Kareem Court, reached via westbound Pincay Drive, and the designated pickup is at Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard.
For 2026 home games, the Los Angeles Rams say oversize vehicle parking, including buses, isn't available to purchase, which makes a drop-off and pickup plan the way to go. Compare Riverside sports transportation options online in seconds, or call 951-266-8020 for a custom package!
Riverside Wedding Shuttle Services & Bus Rentals
Keeping your wedding guests happy, on time, and stress-free on your big day is exactly what a Riverside wedding shuttle bus is designed to do. Whether you're celebrating at one of Riverside's iconic historic venues, hosting an outdoor ceremony in the hills above the city, or shuttling guests between a ceremony venue in downtown Riverside and a reception at a nearby estate, a private wedding shuttle bus takes the logistics completely off your plate.
Riverside has no shortage of stunning wedding venues, and many of them come with limited parking and guests traveling from across Southern California. Planning a ceremony at the Rose Garden at Fairmount Park (2601 Fairmount Blvd, Riverside, CA 92501)? The garden holds 100 guests, yet renters get only ten temporary parking permits for Dexter Drive and parking isn't guaranteed, so a guest shuttle keeps everyone else out of the parking scramble.
A shuttle bus running loops between your venue and a centrally located hotel keeps out-of-town guests from getting lost on unfamiliar roads and lets everyone enjoy the open bar without worrying about the drive home. Through Busrentalcompanyriverside.com, you can compare minibuses, charter buses, and party buses from a large network of Riverside wedding transportation providers. Call 951-266-8020 to build a custom wedding shuttle package, or fill out one quick form to see pricing right online, no account needed!

It depends on your group size and the type of trip! For small executive groups or intimate private events, a sprinter van (typically 8 to 14 passengers) is a nimble, comfortable option for navigating Riverside city streets. Groups of 15 to 35 do well in a minibus, which is perfect for wedding shuttles, field trips, and corporate transfers.
For larger groups or longer trips across Southern California, a 56-passenger motorcoach with onboard restroom, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage storage is the go-to choice. Party buses are ideal for celebrations, prom nights, and bachelorette parties!
Riverside sits in a convenient central location in the Inland Empire. Downtown Los Angeles is about 55 to 65 miles west, Ontario International Airport is about 15 miles west, Temecula's wine country is about 45 miles south, and San Diego is about 100 miles southwest. A charter bus from Riverside to Las Vegas runs about 4 hours via I-15.
Because freeway traffic on the 91, 60, and 215 can be unpredictable, a private charter bus lets your group relax together instead of fighting traffic!
Absolutely, and it's a popular day trip from Riverside! Temecula Valley Wine Country is about 45 miles south of Riverside, making it an easy and incredibly scenic day trip. A party bus or minibus rental from Riverside to Temecula is perfect for bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, corporate outings, and wine club groups who want to visit multiple wineries like Leoness Cellars, South Coast Winery, and Ponte Winery without anyone taking on the role of designated driver.
Leoness Cellars (38311 De Portola Rd, Temecula) takes bus groups only between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, with drop-off in the circular drive near the Tasting Room, so it makes a strong early stop. Ponte Winery (35053 Rancho California Road, Temecula) caps limo and bus parties at 8 guests and admits them by prior reservation between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm, which suits a small sprinter van group. South Coast Winery (34843 Rancho California Road, Temecula) requires reservations for parties of 10 or more.

Charter buses can access most major venues in Riverside with advance coordination. At the Riverside Convention Center, buses and other oversize vehicles need special arrangements made ahead of time, and street vehicles stay off the concrete pads and sidewalks around the center unless facility management approves it in advance. The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa (3649 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501) offers valet and self-parking but publishes no bus parking, so a bus that drops your group off and returns for pickup is the simplest way in.
For campus tours at UC Riverside, buses unload at the flagpole turnout across from Lot 1. Mention every stop when you request your quote so the bus options you see fit the whole itinerary!
Yes! ADA-accessible bus options are available through the Busrentalcompanyriverside.com network for groups in Riverside. Accessible vehicles can include features like wheelchair lifts, widened aisles, wheelchair securement positions, and additional handrailing.
When you fill out your quote request or call 951-266-8020, simply mention your accessibility requirements and a live agent will help match you with a bus in the network that meets your group's specific needs. You can request ADA-accessible buses for all service types, including school field trips, corporate shuttles, airport transfers, and private events!
Yes! One-way charter bus trips from Riverside to Los Angeles (and vice versa) are available through the Busrentalcompanyriverside.com network. Whether you need a one-way airport transfer to LAX, a one-way trip to a Dodgers or Lakers game, or a one-way corporate shuttle between Riverside and a Los Angeles office, you can find and compare one-way options and pricing right online.
Fill out one quick form with your pickup location, destination, date, and passenger count to see available one-way packages from a network of Riverside transportation providers. Call 951-266-8020 if you need help building a custom one-way itinerary!
For most Riverside bus rentals, booking two to three months in advance is a solid rule of thumb to secure good pricing and vehicle availability. That said, certain dates fill up significantly faster and require even more lead time. Prom season (April to May) across Riverside County high schools is the single busiest period of the year for party bus rentals, so book four to six months out if your date falls in that window.
Major events at Toyota Arena, Dodgers games, and the Rose Bowl Game each January 1 also tighten availability across the region fast. On Rose Bowl Game day, bus parking at the stadium is sold only as pre-purchased passes and bus drop-offs there are prohibited, so groups that plan early get both the bus and the pass. Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher prices or a smaller selection.
Book early, lock in your rate, and take transportation off your planning list for good!

Fill out one form and instantly compare charter buses, minibuses, party buses, and sprinter vans from a network of Riverside transportation companies ready to take your group to the destinations below, and anywhere else in Southern California your group wants to explore. From historic landmarks to world-class museums to outdoor adventures, Riverside and the surrounding Inland Empire have more to offer than most visitors expect!
Use the previous and next buttons, the left and right arrow keys, or swipe to browse eight destinations.
Mission Inn Hotel & Spa
The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa is arguably the most iconic building in all of Riverside, a National Historic Landmark that takes up an entire downtown city block and hosts countless wedding parties. The sprawling Spanish Mission Revival structure features a stunning collection of art, antiques, and architectural details. The hotel's 34th Annual Festival of Lights runs November 21, 2026 to January 3, 2027, lighting the inn with more than 10 million lights.
With no bus parking published at the hotel, a bus that drops your group off downtown and returns for pickup spares everyone the holiday parking hunt.
California Citrus State Historic Park
California Citrus State Historic Park tells the story of the citrus industry that helped build Riverside. The park preserves working citrus groves, a historic packinghouse, interpretive exhibits, and walking trails through orchards that still produce fruit today. It's a fantastic destination for school field trips, family outings, and history enthusiasts visiting the Inland Empire.
Buses head to the visitor center on Dufferin Avenue (continue past the kiosk), and parking is paid with the LAZ parking app on entry or at the kiosk when it's staffed. Winter hours, October 1 through the first Sunday of April, run 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., so schedule the return pickup before the gates close.
UC Riverside Botanic Gardens
Set on the University of California, Riverside campus, the UCR Botanic Gardens (1 Botanic Gardens Drive, Riverside, CA 92507) holds plant collections from around the world. Visitors explore themed garden sections connected by winding trails with views of the Riverside valley below. It's a beautiful destination for school groups, garden clubs, and visitors seeking a peaceful outdoor experience.
Buses can drop students at the garden entrance but must park off campus, and groups of up to 60 can book a guided tour (larger groups split into two), with guided tours booked at least one month ahead. Tour groups are met at the entrance at the scheduled time, so a bus that brings everyone together helps you hold on to your tour slot.
Riverside Metropolitan Museum
The Riverside Metropolitan Museum now operates as the Museum of Riverside, and its downtown site at 3580 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501 is currently closed for rehabilitation and expansion. While the downtown museum is under construction, the museum directs visitors to Heritage House (8193 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside), where groups of 15 or more reserve at least three weeks ahead through Museum Tours at (951) 826-5273 or MuseumTours@riversideca.gov. Free parking sits in the lot behind the house, reached by a driveway on the north side from Magnolia Avenue, and school visits there last about two hours.
Toyota Arena (Ontario)
Toyota Arena, located about 15 miles west of downtown Riverside, is a major indoor entertainment venue in the Inland Empire. The Ontario Reign (AHL hockey) play their 72-game 2026-27 regular season with home games at Toyota Arena. Because the arena's lots don't take motor coaches, a bus that drops your group off and returns for pickup after the final horn keeps game night simple.
Mount Rubidoux Regional Park
Mount Rubidoux Park is one of Riverside's most beloved outdoor landmarks, rising above the Santa Ana River with panoramic views of the Inland Empire, and the winding trail to the top is a favorite among hikers, joggers, and families. The park is closed to vehicle traffic and open from dawn until dusk, and the city directs visitors to park at adjacent Ryan Bonaminio Park because street parking around the mountain is limited. One bus drop-off at Ryan Bonaminio Park beats a caravan of cars hunting for scarce street spaces.
Each Easter Sunday, Mount Rubidoux hosts a non-denominational Easter Sunrise service, a tradition that held its 100th anniversary service in 2009.
Riverside Food Lab
Riverside Food Lab (3605 Market St, Riverside, CA 92501) is an indoor food hall and community gathering space in downtown Riverside, and it takes private event and party bookings across multiple spaces. Housing local food vendors, craft beverage purveyors, and pop-up events, the Food Lab is the ideal post-tour lunch destination for groups exploring the Mission Inn district and downtown Riverside's growing arts and culture scene, making it a natural anchor for a downtown Riverside charter bus itinerary. If the bus waits downtown, the City of Riverside's downtown bus parking rate is $75.00 per 24 hours in City-owned garages and lots (which isn't included in your free price quote).
Fairmount Park
Fairmount Park is Riverside's crown jewel of public green space, a lakeside park featuring a scenic lake, historic boathouse, picnic areas, sports facilities, and walking paths that wind through mature trees. The park hosts community events throughout the year, and its open spaces make it a natural gathering point for family reunions, school picnics, and private group outings. Planning a reunion or party at the park's Stewarts Boathouse ballroom?
City ballroom doors don't open until the rental start time, so time the bus to arrive right at the start rather than early. It's a versatile pick for a charter bus outing in Riverside County.
