Bus Rentals Available For Any Event
Choose From the Long Beach Charter Bus Services Below
With one search, you can find and compare buses for airport transfers, concerts, corporate events, employee shuttles, government and military travel, long-distance trips, private events, prom, religious group outings, school field trips, sporting events, weddings, and winery tours — all from a network of transportation companies serving Long Beach and the entire South Bay. Whatever brings your group together, there's a bus ready for it!
Long Beach Airport Transportation
Ready to compare airport shuttle buses for Long Beach Airport (LGB), LAX, or John Wayne Airport (SNA)? Longbeachcharterbusservices.com makes it easy! Long Beach Airport (4100 Donald Douglas Dr, Long Beach, CA 90808) is the closest and most convenient option for groups flying into the area — it's a small, easy-to-navigate terminal where charter bus pickup happens curbside on Donald Douglas Drive right outside baggage claim, with no multi-level terminal maze to sort through.
For pickup at LGB, gather everyone and every bag before calling the bus forward from one of the two free cell phone waiting lots at the northwest and southwest corners of Lakewood Boulevard and E. Donald Douglas Drive; the airport keeps the terminal curb for active loading only. Your bus waits off the terminal loop until your whole party is ready, then rolls to the curb together instead of circling the airport. The Long Beach Airport pickup instructions show the waiting-lot locations.
For groups flying into LAX approximately 20 miles northwest via I-405, a private airport charter bus rental skips the rideshare surge and keeps everyone together from the terminal to your Long Beach hotel, venue, or event. The I-405 between LAX and Long Beach is one of the most congested stretches of freeway in the country — one bus handles the traffic while your group settles in. Compare available airport shuttle buses from a network of transportation companies serving Long Beach, and get pricing in under 30 seconds right online.
Call 562-270-5420 to set up your airport transfer today!
Long Beach Concert Transportation
With Longbeachcharterbusservices.com, you get instant access to buses for concerts and live events at Long Beach Arena, the Long Beach Convention Center, the Carpenter Performing Arts Center at CSULB (6200 Atherton St, Long Beach, CA 90840), and venues across the greater LA area. Long Beach Arena is a 13,500-capacity venue that has hosted Post Malone, Bad Bunny, and dozens of major touring acts — and on a concert night, parking around Ocean Blvd and Seaside Way fills fast.
Instead of splitting your group into separate cars and hunting for spots near the arena, one concert bus keeps everyone together from the first pickup through the last song. Party buses available through the network come loaded with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, flat-panel TVs, and a Bluetooth sound system — so the concert energy starts the moment you board. Compare minibuses, party buses, and charter buses from a network of transportation companies serving Long Beach and get pricing in seconds.
Call 562-270-5420 to lock in your concert night!
Long Beach Corporate Event Transportation
With Longbeachcharterbusservices.com, securing corporate transportation in Long Beach is fast and completely straightforward. Whether you need a shuttle between the Long Beach Convention Center (300 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802) and downtown hotels, a transfer to Long Beach Airport for an executive team, or a recurring shuttle for employees between the Port of Long Beach corridor and Bixby Knolls offices, Longbeachcharterbusservices.com makes it easy to find the right bus for your company's schedule.
According to the INRIX 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard, Los Angeles area drivers lose 87 hours a year to congestion — 4th-worst in the country. That's more than two full work weeks your team spends sitting on I-405 or I-710 instead of being productive. A dedicated corporate shuttle turns that dead time into a comfortable, WiFi-equipped ride.
Compare minibuses and full-size charter buses from a network of transportation companies serving Long Beach, and find a package that fits your company's needs. Call 562-270-5420 any time to get started!

Employee shuttles available through the network can be configured for daily routes, weekly runs, or multi-week temporary service — with amenities like onboard WiFi, reclining seats, and climate control so your team arrives ready to work instead of frazzled from the commute.

Call 562-270-5420 to build a custom employee shuttle package around your company's schedule!

Longbeachcharterbusservices.com helps government agencies, military installations, and public-sector organizations find and compare charter buses and minibuses for personnel moves, training events, base transfers, interagency meetings, and multi-day group travel throughout Long Beach and Southern California.

Long Beach Long-Distance Transportation
These trips are where a full-size charter bus really earns its place. A 56-passenger motorcoach with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays turns a four-hour run from Long Beach to Las Vegas, a five-hour trip to San Francisco, or a two-hour charter to San Diego into a genuinely comfortable group experience — instead of a caravan of cars burning through gas and tolls on I-15 or I-5.
Longbeachcharterbusservices.com makes it easy to compare long-distance charter buses from a network of transportation companies serving Long Beach and destinations across California and the West. Whether your group is heading to a tournament in Phoenix, a conference in Sacramento, or a weekend trip to the Grand Canyon, you can find buses sized for your headcount, loaded with the amenities your group needs, and priced for the full trip.

Private events come in every size and shape, and so do the buses available through the network.

Long Beach Prom Transportation
Start planning your Long Beach prom transportation now — because prom season in April and May is one of the single busiest periods for bus rentals across the entire South Bay, and waiting costs you options.

Long Beach School Event Transportation
What if organizing your next Long Beach school field trip was actually easy? With Longbeachcharterbusservices.com, it is!

Charter bus drop-off at the Aquarium of the Pacific is on Aquarium Way, the dedicated access road off Shoreline Drive — your group unloads steps from the entrance, and the bus relocates to the Shoreline Village parking area while your class explores.

Charter buses serving the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center drop off and pick up along Ocean Blvd curbside and on Seaside Way on the north side of the complex — Seaside Way is the standard oversized-vehicle approach corridor for the campus. After drop-off, buses relocate to the surface lots adjacent to the Long Beach Convention Center Parking Structure at 100 Seaside Way. The convention center campus spans the full block between Ocean Blvd, Seaside Way, and Pine Ave, so one drop-off point puts your group within easy walking distance of the Terrace Theater, Exhibit Halls A, B, and C, and Long Beach Arena.
For major events like Grand Prix weekend or Long Beach Comic Con, parking fills early — confirm current lot assignments and event-specific access on the Long Beach Convention Center directions and parking page before your visit.
The Queen Mary (1126 Queens Hwy, Long Beach, CA 90802) is reached via Queens Highway off Harbor Scenic Drive at the southern end of Long Beach Harbor. Charter buses enter through the main entrance gate off Queens Highway and proceed to the designated bus and motorcoach drop-off loop in front of the ship's gangway entrance — this puts your group steps from the boarding ramp. After drop-off, buses park in the outer sections of the Queen Mary main parking lot on the property; the lot is large enough to accommodate multiple coaches.
Parking is paid and rates vary by event. For peak events like Dark Harbor in October and Chill: A Christmas Experience in winter, the lot fills and advance coordination is strongly recommended. Check current parking rates and event access on the Queen Mary plan your visit page before your trip.
Charter bus drop-off at the Aquarium of the Pacific happens on Aquarium Way, the dedicated one-way access road that runs south off Shoreline Drive directly to the main entrance. Buses enter from Shoreline Drive and drop passengers steps from the front doors. After drop-off, full-size motorcoaches cannot use the aquarium's own parking structure due to height restrictions — coaches relocate to the Shoreline Village parking area (429 Shoreline Village Dr, Long Beach, CA 90802) and stage there until pickup.
Groups of 10 to 100 qualify for group rates and must book in advance through the aquarium's group sales office at (562) 590-3100. Field trip season in April and May is the busiest period for this venue — book your bus well in advance. Confirm current group access details on the Aquarium of the Pacific group visits page.
For current prepaid group visits, the Aquarium accepts groups of 10 to 100 people Monday through Friday, with arrival times from 9 a.m. through 2 p.m. and reservations required at least 24 hours in advance. Your bus gets the class there for the assigned time slot, while the Aquarium's group bin keeps lunches and supplies organized outside the exhibits. The Aquarium of the Pacific prepaid group visit details carry the current group limits and arrival windows.
Long Beach Arena is part of the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center campus at 300 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802, so charter bus access follows the same approach as the convention center. Drop-off is along Ocean Blvd curbside or on Seaside Way for oversized vehicles, with bus staging in the surface lots off Seaside Way and the Convention Center Parking Structure at 100 Seaside Way. On concert and event nights, parking in the surrounding blocks fills quickly — the bus drops your group at the arena entrance and stages nearby while you're inside, then picks everyone up at a pre-arranged spot after the show.
That's the move that skips the post-concert rideshare surge and keeps your whole group together. Compare available buses for Long Beach Arena events from a network of transportation companies serving Long Beach — call 562-270-5420 or use the online quote tool to get pricing in seconds!
Rancho Los Cerritos (4600 Virginia Rd, Long Beach, CA 90807) sits in a residential neighborhood, and its own on-site parking lot is small — designed for passenger cars, not motorcoaches. Charter buses drop off on Virginia Road at the entrance gate and then relocate to street parking on Virginia Road or nearby Bixby Road while the group tours the historic adobe and gardens. Because of the residential setting and street parking constraints, a minibus or sprinter van is more practical than a full-size 56-passenger coach for this venue.
The site is open Wednesday through Sunday, 1pm to 5pm, and group tours must be booked in advance through the education department — contact Rancho Los Cerritos at (562) 570-1755. Confirm current group access details on the Rancho Los Cerritos visit page before your trip.
El Dorado Regional Park has three entrances; charter buses use the main entrance at Studebaker Road and Spring Street. There is a vehicle entry fee at the gate (verify current rates on the City of Long Beach El Dorado Park page before your visit). After entering, buses park in the main parking lot off Studebaker Road, which is large enough to accommodate motorcoaches in the designated oversized vehicle areas.
Groups visiting the El Dorado Nature Center specifically should use the separate Spring Street entrance — that lot is smaller, and a call ahead to (562) 570-1771 is advisable for large coaches. The park is a popular destination for school field trips, family reunions, and corporate picnics, with peak demand in spring and fall weekends.
El Dorado East Regional Park charges a published daily rate of $35 for charter buses, with cashless entry and a last vehicle entry 30 minutes before closing. If your destination is the Nature Center at 7550 E Spring Street, the bus should use the East entrance rather than treating the Studebaker Road address as the park-wide access point. Your bus gets the correct entrance and the group avoids arriving at the wrong section of this split park.
The City of Long Beach El Dorado East Regional Park information carries the current bus rate, hours, and entrance address.
Book three to six months out for most Long Beach trips, and stretch that to six months or more for the dates that tighten the entire South Bay bus market at once. Grand Prix weekend (April 16–18, 2027) is the single highest-demand weekend of the year — the street circuit closes Shoreline Drive and major downtown corridors, and bus availability across Long Beach and the surrounding area tightens dramatically. CSULB Commencement in mid-May through early June runs multiple ceremonies across several days and pulls enormous demand.
Prom season in April and May across Long Beach Unified schools fills the party bus and minibus market fast. Dark Harbor at the Queen Mary in October and field trip season in April and May are two more windows where waiting costs you options. Outside those peaks, two to four weeks of lead time is workable for most trips — but the earlier you call 562-270-5420, the better your selection and the better your price.

Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center
The Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center is Long Beach's primary convention and event campus, anchoring the downtown waterfront between Ocean Blvd, Seaside Way, and Pine Ave. The campus includes the Terrace Theater, Exhibit Halls A, B, and C, and the 13,500-capacity Long Beach Arena — all connected within the same footprint. Charter bus drop-off is along Ocean Blvd curbside and on Seaside Way for oversized vehicles, with bus staging in the surface lots adjacent to the parking structure at 100 Seaside Way. Major annual events including Long Beach Comic Con (typically October), large trade shows, and Grand Prix weekend bring enormous bus demand to this corridor.
The adjacent Hyatt Regency Long Beach at 200 S Pine Ave makes hotel-to-venue shuttle loops straightforward for multi-day convention groups. Confirm current parking and access details on the LBCC directions and parking page before your visit.

The Queen Mary
The Queen Mary is one of Long Beach's most iconic landmarks — a retired British ocean liner permanently docked at Pier J that now operates as a hotel, event venue, and museum. The ship is reached via Queens Highway off Harbor Scenic Drive at the southern end of Long Beach Harbor. Charter buses enter through the main gate off Queens Highway and proceed to the designated motorcoach drop-off loop in front of the gangway entrance, putting your group steps from the boarding ramp.
Bus parking is in the outer sections of the large Queen Mary main lot on the property. For peak events like Dark Harbor (October weekends) and Chill: A Christmas Experience (November through January), the lot fills and advance coordination is strongly recommended. Port of Long Beach truck traffic on the I-710 corridor can slow the approach — build extra time into your schedule on event nights.

Aquarium of the Pacific
Aquarium of the Pacific is one of the largest aquariums in the United States, home to more than 11,000 animals across 50 exhibits — including the famous whale sharks and the interactive Shark Lagoon. Charter bus drop-off is on Aquarium Way, the dedicated one-way access road running south off Shoreline Drive to the main entrance. After drop-off, full-size motorcoaches relocate to the Shoreline Village parking area at 429 Shoreline Village Dr, as the aquarium's own structure has height restrictions that exclude large coaches.
Groups of 10 to 100 qualify for group rates and must book in advance through the group sales office at (562) 590-3100. Field trip season in April and May is the busiest period — book your bus early. Confirm current group visit details on the Aquarium of the Pacific group visits page.

Long Beach Arena
Long Beach Arena is a 13,500-capacity indoor arena within the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center campus, hosting concerts, boxing, sporting events, and large-scale productions throughout the year. The Arena has welcomed major touring acts and is the largest indoor venue in Long Beach. Charter bus drop-off follows the convention center approach: Ocean Blvd curbside or Seaside Way for oversized vehicles, with bus staging in the surface lots off Seaside Way.
On concert nights, parking in the surrounding blocks fills quickly — a charter bus drops your group at the arena entrance and stages nearby, then picks everyone up at a pre-arranged spot after the show, skipping the post-concert rideshare surge entirely. For current event schedules and parking guidance, check the LBCC directions and parking page.

Rancho Los Cerritos
Rancho Los Cerritos is a National Historic Landmark — a beautifully restored 1844 Monterey Colonial adobe ranch house set on two acres of formal gardens in the heart of Long Beach. Admission is free, and the site is open Wednesday through Sunday, 1pm to 5pm. Group tours must be booked in advance through the education department.
Because the property sits in a residential neighborhood with a small on-site lot, charter buses drop off on Virginia Road at the entrance gate and relocate to street parking on Virginia Road or nearby Bixby Road. Given the residential setting and street parking constraints, a minibus or sprinter van is the more practical choice here than a full-size motorcoach. Confirm current group visit details by calling the venue directly at (562) 570-1755 or visiting the Rancho Los Cerritos visit page.

El Dorado Park
El Dorado Regional Park is a 450-acre regional park operated by the City of Long Beach, featuring fishing lakes, an archery range, an 18-hole disc golf course, miles of bike and walking paths, tennis courts, and the El Dorado Nature Center. Charter buses enter through the main gate at Studebaker Road and Spring Street, where a vehicle entry fee is collected at the gate (verify current rates on the city's parks page before your visit). The main parking lot off Studebaker Road is large enough to accommodate motorcoaches in the designated oversized vehicle areas.
Groups visiting the El Dorado Nature Center specifically should use the Spring Street entrance — that lot is smaller, and a call ahead to (562) 570-1771 is advisable for large coaches. Peak demand is spring and fall weekends and field trip season in April and May.

Long Beach Grand Prix Circuit
The Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is held annually in April (April 16–18, 2027) on a 1.968-mile temporary street circuit that winds through downtown Long Beach along Shoreline Drive, Seaside Way, Pine Ave, and Ocean Blvd — the same corridors that serve the Convention Center, Aquarium, and Queen Mary. During Grand Prix weekend, Shoreline Drive is closed to through traffic and major sections of downtown are restricted, making this the single most significant traffic disruption event of the year for the entire South Bay. Charter buses serving Grand Prix groups use designated drop-off corridors established by the AGPLB and the City of Long Beach — these change year to year, so check the official Grand Prix website for the current year's transportation plan.
Bus availability across ALL of Long Beach tightens dramatically during Grand Prix weekend — book four to six months in advance minimum. For large coach group coordination, contact the AGPLB at (562) 981-2600.

California State University Long Beach
California State University Long Beach (1250 Bellflower Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90840) is a 322-acre campus with approximately 39,000 students — one of the largest CSU campuses in the system. Charter bus drop-off and pickup occurs at designated loading zones on campus; the primary approach for coaches is along Atherton Street on the north edge of campus and on Earl Warren Drive inside the main campus loop. Buses stage in Lot 6 (a large surface lot off State University Dr) or the Lot 1 complex near the Bellflower Blvd entrance.
The Walter Pyramid on-campus arena (5,000 capacity) uses the Lot 6 / Lot 1 complex for event parking. The Carpenter Performing Arts Center uses the Atherton Street loading zone with staging in Lot 6 or Lot 8 nearby. Commencement season in mid-May through early June is the highest-demand period — book four to six months out.
Confirm current parking guidance on the CSULB parking and transportation page.
For commencement, the bus-accessible drop-off zone is D5, with the walking route continuing past the LBS Financial Credit Union Pyramid to the commencement entrance at Lot G12. After the ceremony, your bus can use the named transit meet points at Atherton & McNab SE or Atherton & Carfax SE instead of sending everyone back through the campus loop. The CSULB commencement parking and drop-off instructions show the current bus stops and D5 route.
