Catch a Wave at The Wedge and Newport Beaches

For those who prefer their sports in the water, Newport Beach is legendary. The crown jewel of local surfing is undoubtedly The Wedge (West Jetty View Park, 2300 Channel Rd, Newport Beach, CA 92661). Known for its massive, wedge-shaped waves that can reach up to 30 feet during big swells, this spot attracts bodyboarders and surfers from around the globe. Even if you aren't paddling out, watching the pros tackle these swells is a spectator sport in itself. For a more relaxed experience, groups often head to the Newport Beach Pier (70 Newport Pier, Newport Beach, CA 92663) for volleyball tournaments and casual surfing.

Transporting surfboards, wetsuits, coolers, and beach gear for a large group can be a nightmare in standard cars. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Newport Beach, you gain access to massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for hauling longboards and equipment without cluttering the cabin. Your group can relax in air-conditioned comfort after a long day in the sun, reviewing Go-Pro footage on our onboard TV monitors or simply napping in reclining seats while the driver navigates the tight parking situations near the Balboa Peninsula.

Tee Off at Pelican Hill Golf Club

If the fairway is more your speed, Newport Beach offers some of the most stunning golf courses on the West Coast. The premier destination is The Resort at Pelican Hill (22800 S Pelican Hill Rd, Newport Coast, CA 92657), featuring 36 holes of championship golf designed by Tom Fazio. With breathtaking ocean views from nearly every hole, it is a bucket-list destination for corporate outings and bachelor parties. Another local favorite is the Newport Beach Country Club (1600 East Coast Hwy, Newport Beach, CA 92660), famous for hosting the Hoag Classic on the PGA TOUR Champions circuit.

Arranging a golf outing for a large group requires precision and punctuality. You don’t want to miss your tee time because half your group got stuck in traffic on the Pacific Coast Highway. Charter Bus Rental Company Newport Beach specializes in executive transportation for golfers. Our minibuses and sprinter vans provide ample room for golf bags and luggage, ensuring your clubs arrive in pristine condition. We can pick your group up from John Wayne Airport (SNA) and shuttle you directly to the clubhouse, or provide round-trip service from your hotel to the course and then to a post-round dinner at a local steakhouse.

Easy Access to Anaheim for Angels and Ducks Games

One of the biggest advantages of staying in Newport Beach is its proximity to Anaheim's major sports venues while maintaining a relaxed, coastal atmosphere. You are just a short drive away from Angel Stadium of Anaheim (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806) to catch MLB action, or the Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806) to cheer on the NHL's Anaheim Ducks. These venues also host massive motocross events, basketball tournaments, and concerts throughout the year.

Why deal with the stress of the I-5 or SR-55 freeways on game day? When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Newport Beach, the tailgate starts the moment you board. Load up your bus with snacks and beverages, play your team’s highlight reels on the flat-screen TVs, and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow fans. We can drop you off right near the stadium entrance, saving you the long walk from the back of the parking lot. After the game, your driver will be waiting to take you safely back to Newport Beach, eliminating the need for designated drivers or expensive surge-priced rideshares.

Road Trip to Los Angeles Stadiums

For fans of the NFL, NBA, or MLS, Newport Beach serves as an excellent, upscale launchpad for trips into Los Angeles. Whether you are heading to SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301) to see the Rams or Chargers, Crypto.com Arena (1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) for the Lakers, Clippers, or Kings, or Dodger Stadium (1000 Vin Scully Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012), we have you covered. The drive from Orange County to LA can be unpredictable, but in a luxury charter bus, traffic becomes a non-issue.

Our fleet is equipped with amenities designed to make longer trips comfortable.

Cheer on the UCI Anteaters

The UCI Bren Events Center (100 Mesa Rd, Irvine, CA 92697) and Anteater Ballpark (903 W Peltason Dr, Irvine, CA 92617) host exciting NCAA Division I matchups that draw fans from all over the region.

Southern California is a hub for youth sports, and Newport Beach is no exception. The area hosts numerous soccer, baseball, and water polo tournaments at venues like the Bonita Creek Park (3010 La Vida, Newport Beach, CA 92660) and the Newport Harbor High School aquatic center. Traveling with a youth team requires safety, organization, and plenty of space for gear—all of which are priorities for Charter Bus Rental Company Newport Beach.

Frequently Asked Questions About Newport Beach Sports Transportation

Absolutely. If you book a full-size charter bus (typically seating 56 passengers), you will have access to massive undercarriage luggage bays. These compartments are perfect for storing coolers, folding chairs, portable grills, tents, and cornhole boards. Even our mid-sized minibuses often have rear storage compartments. When you call 805-702-1137 to book, simply let our agents know how much gear you plan to bring, and we will match you with a bus that has the appropriate storage capacity for your ultimate tailgate.

For major events like opening days, playoff games, or rivalry matches at SoFi Stadium or Angel Stadium, demand for charter buses is extremely high. We strongly recommend booking your bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and to secure the best possible rate. However, if you are planning a last-minute trip for a sudden playoff run, give us a call! We have a large network and will do our absolute best to accommodate your group even on short notice.

This depends on your specific itinerary and the parking situation at the venue. In most cases, your driver will drop you off at the designated charter bus zone and then park the bus in a staging area or a reserved lot until the game ends. You generally have access to the bus if it stays on-site, but you should clarify this with your driver beforehand. If you need the bus to shuttle you back and forth or make other stops during the game, make sure to specify that when building your itinerary with our team so we can quote you correctly for the driver's time.

No, parking fees are generally not included in your quote from Charter Bus Rental Company Newport Beach. You are responsible for paying for bus parking at the stadium or venue. Venues like Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, and SoFi Stadium require specific charter bus parking passes, which often need to be purchased in advance. Our reservation team can help advise you on where to look for parking information for specific venues, but the cost will be the responsibility of the group renting the bus.
