A few of the companies we’ve worked with
South Coast Plaza
As the largest shopping center on the West Coast and one of the highest-grossing malls in the United States, South Coast Plaza is a destination in itself. With over 250 boutiques and 30 restaurants, this luxury shopping mecca attracts millions of visitors annually. For groups, it offers a distinct advantage: variety. While one part of your group browses luxury brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, others can enjoy the Bridge of Gardens or grab a bite at Din Tai Fung. However, parking here—especially during the holidays or weekends—can be overwhelming due to the sheer size of the complex.
When you rent a charter bus to South Coast Plaza, you skip the endless circling for a parking spot. Your driver can drop your group off at designated entrances, such as the valet circle near the Westin South Coast Plaza or the Bear Street entrance, allowing for immediate access to the shops. There is ample oversized vehicle parking available on the perimeter lots or arranged through the center's concierge services for tour groups. Whether you are bringing a group of international tourists or a local fashion club, a private shuttle ensures everyone has plenty of storage space for their shopping bags and a comfortable ride home after a long day on their feet.
Address: 3333 Bristol St, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Segerstrom Center for the Arts
If you are looking to inject some culture into your group trip, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts is the heartbeat of Costa Mesa. This performing arts complex hosts Broadway shows, the Pacific Symphony, ballet performances, and jazz concerts across its multiple venues, including the Segerstrom Hall and the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. It is a popular destination for school field trips, senior citizen outings, and corporate gala attendees. The architecture alone, featuring the sweeping "Connector" bridge and the Richard Serra sculpture, makes it worth the visit.
Coordinating arrival times for a curtain call can be stressful when everyone drives separately. A late arrival means missing the first act! With a bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa, you can ensure your entire party arrives at the Town Center Drive drop-off zone with time to spare. Your driver will handle the logistics of navigating the busy Arts District traffic while your group enjoys a pre-show playlist over the bus's sound system. If you are planning a dinner-and-a-show evening, we can easily shuttle your group from a restaurant at nearby Metro Pointe or South Coast Plaza directly to the theater entrance.
Address: 600 Town Center Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
OC Fair & Event Center
Home to the famous Orange County Fair every summer, the OC Fair & Event Center is a hub of activity year-round. Beyond the fair, the venue hosts the Centennial Farm, the Pacific Amphitheatre for concerts, the Heroes Hall Veterans Museum, and the weekly Orange County Market Place (swap meet). During the OC Fair season (July-August), traffic on the 55 Freeway and Fairview Road can be gridlocked. Trying to coordinate a meet-up inside the fairgrounds after parking in different remote lots is a recipe for frustration.
This is where a charter bus rental becomes essential. By booking a private bus, your group can bypass the general parking queues. We can arrange drop-offs near the Green Gate or Blue Gate (depending on event specifics), allowing your group to walk right in. It is perfect for large families attending the fair, youth groups visiting the farm for educational tours, or music fans heading to a concert at the Pacific Amphitheatre. Your bus will serve as a central meeting point, and with air-conditioning waiting for you at the end of a hot day, the ride home will be the most relaxing part of your trip.
Address: 88 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
The LAB Anti-Mall & The CAMP
For a completely different vibe, take your group to The LAB (Little American Business) and The CAMP. Located directly across the street from one another on Bristol Street, these "anti-malls" focus on youth culture, sustainability, local artisans, and unique culinary experiences. The aesthetics here are incredible, featuring art installations, an art walk, and plenty of Instagram-worthy backdrops like the CD tunnel. It is a favorite spot for college groups, startup team lunches, and anyone looking to avoid the traditional big-box retail experience.
Parking at The LAB and The CAMP is notoriously tight and difficult, with small lots that fill up instantly. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for visiting this trendy district. Your driver can drop your group off curbside on Bristol Street or Randolph Avenue, letting you explore the shops, grab coffee at Blackmarket Bakery, or enjoy vegan fare without the stress of hunting for a spot. Because these venues are outdoor-centric, having a climate-controlled bus nearby allows anyone who needs a break from the sun to cool off and recharge their devices using onboard power outlets.

Noguchi Garden (California Scenario)
Hidden among the high-rise office buildings near the 405 freeway lies one of Costa Mesa’s best-kept secrets: California Scenario, also known as Noguchi Garden. Designed by world-renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi, this 1.6-acre sculpture garden represents different geographical characteristics of California, including the forest, desert, and water. It is a serene, contemplative space that is perfect for photography clubs, architecture students, or wedding parties looking for a stunning backdrop for photos.
Because this is located within a corporate business park, parking is primarily reserved for employees and requires validation or payment. A charter bus rental simplifies this visit immensely. Your driver can drop your group off at the passenger loading zone on Anton Boulevard. While your group explores the Spirit of the Lima Bean sculpture and the Water Use energy fountain, your driver can circle the block or park at a nearby designated layover spot. It’s a quick, efficient way to see a world-class art installation without the administrative hassle of parking structures.
Address: 611 Anton Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
TeWinkle Park & Angels Playground
If you are organizing a company picnic, a family reunion, or a youth sports outing, TeWinkle Park is the premier outdoor space in Costa Mesa. Spanning 49 acres, it features a beautiful lake with a waterfall, tennis courts, baseball fields, and the Angels Playground—a universally accessible playground designed for children of all abilities. It is located right across from the OC Fairgrounds, making it a central location for outdoor activities.
Transporting a sports team or a large family reunion requires space for coolers, sports gear, picnic supplies, and strollers. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for hauling all your equipment. Instead of stuffing your trunk and driving separately, the whole team can ride together, build camaraderie, and review plays on the onboard TV monitors. We can drop you off right near the picnic shelters or the athletic fields, ensuring you maximize your time enjoying the park rather than hauling gear across parking lots.
Address: 970 Arlington Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Newport Beach & Balboa Peninsula
While technically in the neighboring city, no trip to Costa Mesa is complete without a quick jaunt down Newport Boulevard to the ocean. Costa Mesa is often called the gateway to the coast, and a charter bus makes a beach day effortless. Whether you want to visit the Balboa Pier, take the ferry to Balboa Island, or just enjoy the sand near the Newport Pier, the ocean is less than 10 minutes away.
Anyone who has visited Newport Beach knows that parking—especially during summer or weekends—is nearly impossible and very expensive. By renting a shuttle bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa, you eliminate the parking nightmare entirely. We can drop your group off right at the base of the pier or near the Balboa Fun Zone. Your group can enjoy a day of sun and surf, and when you are tired and sandy, a comfortable, air-conditioned bus will be waiting to take you back to your Costa Mesa hotel. It’s the ultimate VIP beach experience.
Location: Balboa Blvd & Newport Blvd, Newport Beach, CA 92663
Disneyland Resort Shuttle
Many groups choose to stay in Costa Mesa hotels because they offer more affordable rates and a quieter atmosphere than the hotels directly adjacent to Disneyland in Anaheim, yet they are only a 15-20 minute drive away. If your corporate group, school band, or family reunion is using Costa Mesa as a home base for a Disney vacation, rely on us for your daily transfers.
Skip the crowded hotel shuttles that run on inconvenient schedules. With a private charter bus rental, you set the departure time. We can drop you off at the Harbor Boulevard transit hub, right outside the park gates. This allows you to stay until the fireworks end without worrying about the long walk back to the parking structure or waiting in line for the tram. You can leave spare clothes and snacks securely on the bus, and enjoy a stress-free ride back to Costa Mesa after a magical day.
Address: 1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802
