A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Home of the Los Angeles Chargers Training Camp
One of the biggest draws for football fans in Costa Mesa is the annual NFL training camp. The Los Angeles Chargers have made Costa Mesa their summer home, hosting their training camp at the Jack Hammett Sports Complex (2750 Fairview Rd, Costa Mesa, CA 92626). This is a unique opportunity for fans to get up close and personal with their favorite players, watch drills, and experience the intensity of professional football preparations right here in our city. The atmosphere is electric, with interactive fan zones, merchandise tents, and the chance to get autographs from NFL superstars. For large groups of fans, youth football leagues, or corporate outings, arranging transportation to the training camp can be a logistical challenge due to the high volume of attendees and limited parking in the immediate residential vicinity.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the action on the gridiron. We can arrange for drop-offs right near the entrance gates, allowing your group to skip the long walks from overflow parking lots. Our air-conditioned buses provide a cool retreat from the summer sun, ensuring your group stays hydrated and comfortable before heading out to the fields. Whether you are bringing a pee-wee football team to learn from the pros or a group of die-hard season ticket holders, a private shuttle ensures the experience remains focused on football and fun, rather than fighting for a parking spot on Fairview Road.
Easy Access to Angel Stadium and Honda Center
Costa Mesa’s prime location puts you just minutes away from the major league action in Anaheim. Angel Stadium of Anaheim (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806), home of the Los Angeles Angels, and the Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806), home of the Anaheim Ducks, are incredibly accessible via the SR-55 and I-5 freeways. However, anyone who has driven to a weekday night game knows that the "Orange Crush" interchange can be daunting. By renting a charter bus from Costa Mesa, you turn that stressful commute into a pre-game party. Your group can relax in reclining seats, listen to the pre-game show over the bus’s PA system, and chat about stats and predictions while a driver navigates the heavy traffic flow.
Tailgating is a time-honored tradition at Angel Stadium, and our charter buses are perfect for hauling all your gear. With massive undercarriage storage bays, there is ample room for your pop-up tents, large coolers, folding chairs, and grills. Once the game is over, the last thing you want to do is navigate a crowded parking lot exit and sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic. With Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa, your driver will be waiting at a designated pickup location, ready to whisk you back to Costa Mesa safely. This is particularly valuable for groups who plan on enjoying a few beers at the ballpark; having a designated driver ensures that everyone in your party gets home safely, every single time.
Golfing at Costa Mesa Country Club
For those who prefer to play the sport rather than watch it, Costa Mesa offers some of the finest public golfing in Orange County. The Costa Mesa Country Club (1701 Golf Course Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626) features two municipal courses: the Los Lagos Course and the Mesa Linda Course. These courses are renowned for being well-maintained and challenging, attracting tournament groups, corporate outings, and charity golf events from all over the state. Organizing a golf tournament or a large group outing involves coordinating tee times and ensuring everyone arrives with their clubs intact. A charter bus rental is the ultimate solution for golf outings, providing plenty of space for golf bags in the luggage compartments without the risk of cramming them into the trunks of multiple rideshare vehicles.
When you book transportation for your golf group with Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa, you elevate the entire experience. Imagine picking up your clients or friends at a local hotel, transporting them in a luxury minibus to the course, and having the vehicle waiting to take everyone to a post-round dinner. It adds a level of professionalism and convenience that makes a significant impression. We frequently work with tournament organizers to provide shuttle services from off-site parking or local hotels to the clubhouse, ensuring that players arrive relaxed and focused on their swing rather than their commute.
Surfing and Beach Volleyball in Newport and Huntington
Costa Mesa borders two of the most iconic beach cities in the world: Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. For fans of action sports, surfing, and beach volleyball, this proximity is unbeatable. Huntington Beach (103 Pacific Coast Hwy, Huntington Beach, CA 92648), known as "Surf City USA," hosts the annual US Open of Surfing, one of the largest action sports festivals in the world. Newport Beach is famous for the Wedge, a world-class bodysurfing spot, and its miles of pristine volleyball courts. Groups traveling to these events often face a nightmare parking scenario, as beach lots fill up by early morning. A private charter bus rental allows your group to be dropped off right at PCH or the pier, bypassing the circling for parking entirely.
Furthermore, local volleyball clubs and surf teams often require reliable transportation to tournaments and competitions up and down the coast. Our buses are equipped to handle the unique needs of beach sports. We can accommodate surfboards (depending on length and bus type), volleyball nets, balls, and sandy gear with ease. After a long day in the sun and surf, the air-conditioned comfort of a charter bus is a welcome relief. Your team can hydrate, rest, and recover on the ride back to Costa Mesa, using onboard WiFi to upload photos of the day's highlights or stream music to celebrate a tournament win.
The Best Sports Bars and Post-Game Dining in Costa Mesa
The game doesn't end when the final whistle blows; for many fans, the post-game celebration is just as important. Costa Mesa boasts a vibrant culinary scene with sports bars and restaurants that are perfect for large groups. The Triangle (1870 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 92627) is a massive dining and entertainment complex that houses several venues perfect for watching games or celebrating after attending one. From the massive selection of draft beers at Yard House to the lively atmosphere at Tavern+Bowl, there is something for every type of fan. Navigating a large group between a stadium and a restaurant can result in split parties and lost reservations, but a charter bus keeps the momentum going.
When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa, you have the flexibility to create a custom itinerary that includes a post-game meal. We can take your group from Angel Stadium directly to a hotspot like Buffalo Wild Wings on Newport Blvd or a local brewery in the distinct "SoBeCa" (South Bristol Entertainment & Cultural Arts) district. Having a private bus means you don't have to worry about finding parking in busy dining districts on a Friday or Saturday night. Your driver can drop your group at the front door and pick you up when you are ready to head home, ensuring that the celebration continues safely and responsibly.
University Sports at UC Irvine and Vanguard
Costa Mesa is a hub for collegiate athletics as well. We are home to Vanguard University (55 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626), whose Lions compete in the Golden State Athletic Conference. Just next door in Irvine is the University of California, Irvine (Bren Events Center, 100 Mesa Rd, Irvine, CA 92697), home of the Anteaters. Whether you are a visiting team needing transport to these campuses, an alumni group heading to a homecoming game, or a high school group touring athletic facilities, Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa provides the reliable transportation you need. We understand the tight schedules that athletic teams operate on and the importance of punctuality for warm-ups and check-ins.
Our fleet includes full-sized motorcoaches that allow student-athletes to stretch out, rest, and mentally prepare for competition. With ample storage for uniforms, medical kits, and training equipment, teams can travel without feeling cramped. For alumni groups and boosters, a charter bus offers a fantastic way to build camaraderie on the way to the game. You can decorate the bus with school colors, play fight songs over the sound system, and arrive at the Bren Events Center or Vanguard's soccer fields in high spirits, ready to cheer your team to victory.
Day Trips to Los Angeles for Pro Sports
While Orange County has plenty to offer, sometimes the big game takes you north to Los Angeles. Costa Mesa is ideally situated for day trips to see the Los Angeles Rams or Chargers at SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301) or the Lakers, Clippers, and Kings at the Crypto.com Arena (1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015). However, the drive from Costa Mesa to LA on the 405 freeway is notorious for traffic congestion. By booking a charter bus, you transform a potentially stressful drive into a relaxed travel experience. Your group can avoid the frustration of gridlock and the exorbitant cost of parking multiple vehicles at these major venues.
Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa specializes in these longer-haul event transfers. We know the best routes to get you into Inglewood or Downtown LA efficiently. Our buses are equipped with amenities like restrooms, which are essential for longer trips in traffic, as well as power outlets to keep your phones charged for mobile ticketing and photos. Whether you are organizing a corporate suite outing or a family reunion centered around a Lakers game, our service ensures that the journey is as enjoyable as the event itself. Let us handle the driving while you handle the cheering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Costa Mesa Sports Transportation
How much storage space is there for tailgating gear?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for tailgating equipment. You can easily fit coolers, folding chairs, small grills, tents, and cornhole boards. If you are renting a minibus (typically 18-25 passengers), storage space is more limited and usually restricted to the rear of the bus or overhead bins. If you plan on bringing a significant amount of gear, please let our reservation specialist know exactly what you are hauling so we can recommend the correct bus size to accommodate both your passengers and your equipment comfortably.
How far in advance should we book for a big game?
For major sporting events, especially NFL games, playoffs, or the World Series, demand for charter buses spikes significantly. We strongly recommend booking your bus as soon as you have your tickets or know the date of the event. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best pricing. While we can often accommodate last-minute requests, vehicle selection may be limited closer to the game day.
Do you offer transportation to SoFi Stadium?
Yes, we frequently provide transportation from Costa Mesa and Orange County to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. We are very familiar with the drop-off and pickup procedures at SoFi Stadium, which has a designated zone for charter buses. Traveling by bus is one of the best ways to get to SoFi, as it allows your group to avoid the expensive on-site parking fees and the stress of navigating the heavy traffic surrounding the stadium on game days.
Is the driver responsible for parking fees?
No, the group renting the bus is responsible for all parking fees at the stadium or venue. Most major stadiums, including Angel Stadium and SoFi Stadium, require charter buses to purchase a specific parking pass, often in advance. We recommend checking the venue's official website for bus parking policies and pricing. Your driver will park the bus in the designated area, but you will need to provide the payment or the pass upon arrival.
