A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa
No trip to Riverside is complete without visiting the crown jewel of the city, The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa. This National Historic Landmark is more than just a hotel; it is a breathtaking architectural masterpiece occupying an entire city block in downtown Riverside. With its unique blend of Spanish Colonial Revival, Mission Revival, and Renaissance Revival styles, it provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photos, corporate galas, and historical tours. Groups flock here annually for the Festival of Lights, one of the nation's largest holiday light collections.
Parking in downtown Riverside during peak events can be a nightmare, with garages filling up hours in advance. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Riverside, your driver can drop your group off right at the main entrance at 3649 Mission Inn Avenue, Riverside, CA 92501. Your group can explore the museum, dine at the Duane’s Prime Steaks and Seafood, or attend a wedding in the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel without the stress of finding parking. After your visit, your climate-controlled bus will be waiting to whisk you away to your next destination.
Mount Rubidoux Park
For groups looking to enjoy the Southern California sunshine and get a bit of exercise, Mount Rubidoux Park offers iconic views and a piece of local history. The park features paved trails leading to the summit, where you’ll find the Serra Cross and the Peace Tower. It’s a popular spot for school field trips, church groups, and fitness clubs. The hike is approximately 3 miles round trip and offers panoramic views of the city, the Santa Ana River, and on clear days, the San Bernardino Mountains.
The trailhead can be busy, and parking at the base is often limited to residential streets, which can be difficult for a convoy of cars. A charter bus rental simplifies this process entirely. Your driver can drop your hiking group off at the entrance near 4706 Mount Rubidoux Dr, Riverside, CA 92501 (near 9th Street and Pine Street) and park at a designated staging area nearby. Once your group has conquered the mountain and taken their photos, they can return to the air-conditioned comfort of the bus, ready to relax and hydrate.
California Citrus State Historic Park
Did you know Riverside is the birthplace of the California citrus industry? Celebrate this sweet heritage at the California Citrus State Historic Park. This open-air museum is perfect for educational field trips, senior citizen tours, and family reunions. Visitors can tour the groves, taste fresh citrus fruit (in season), and learn about the history of the naval orange that transformed the region's economy. The park also features beautiful picnic areas and a visitor center reminiscent of an old fruit packing house.
Located at 9400 Dufferin Ave, Riverside, CA 92504, the park is situated a bit further from the city center, making private group transportation essential. Rather than relying on rideshares or navigating unfamiliar roads, let Charter Bus Rental Company Riverside transport your group. We offer plenty of undercarriage storage for picnic supplies, coolers, and any crates of oranges you might buy at the gift shop. Your driver will handle the navigation down Van Buren Boulevard while you enjoy the scenery.
The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture
Affectionately known as "The Cheech," this center is a partnership between the Riverside Art Museum and comedian Cheech Marin. It houses one of the finest collections of Chicano art in the world and has quickly become a must-visit cultural destination in the Inland Empire. Located in the heart of downtown, next to the historic Mission Inn, it draws art lovers, student groups, and cultural tourists from all over the state. The museum hosts rotating exhibitions that spark conversation and celebrate Chicano culture.
The museum is located at 3581 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501. Given its downtown location, street parking is metered and limited. By renting a minibus or charter bus, you avoid the hassle of feeding meters or walking long distances from parking structures. Your group can be dropped off curbside for easy access to the galleries. Afterward, your bus can take you to the nearby Food Lab for a group lunch without anyone needing to move their car.
Castle Park
If you are planning a youth group outing, a school reward trip, or a company family day, Castle Park is the place to be. Founded by Bud Hurlbut, who designed several rides at Knott’s Berry Farm, this amusement park features a castle-themed entrance, roller coasters, a log flume, four 18-hole miniature golf courses, and a massive arcade. It is a staple of Riverside entertainment and provides hours of fun for groups of all ages.
Castle Park is located right off the 91 Freeway at 3500 Polk St, Riverside, CA 92505. While there is a parking lot, fees apply for individual vehicles, and coordinating a meetup spot in a busy lot can be chaotic. Charter Bus Rental Company Riverside can provide a streamlined drop-off and pick-up service. With a charter bus, you can keep your students or employees together for a headcount before entering the park. Plus, after a long day of rides and mini-golf, nothing beats sinking into a reclining seat in a cool bus for the ride home.
University of California, Riverside (UCR) Botanic Gardens
For a serene escape into nature, the UCR Botanic Gardens covers 40 acres of rugged terrain on the eastern foothills of the Box Springs Mountains. The gardens showcase diverse plant collections from around the world and serve as an outdoor classroom for the university and the public. It is a fantastic destination for biology classes, garden clubs, and photography groups. The gardens feature four miles of trails winding through rose gardens, cactus gardens, and butterfly gardens.
The entrance is located at 1 Botanic Gardens Dr, Riverside, CA 92507. Accessing the gardens involves navigating the university campus, which can be confusing for visitors driving personal vehicles. A charter bus driver from Charter Bus Rental Company Riverside will know exactly where to go. We can arrange campus shuttles for prospective students touring UCR or transport your private group directly to the garden gate. Keep in mind that the terrain is hilly, so having a bus to transport guests with mobility issues to the main entrance is a huge advantage.
March Field Air Museum
Aviation enthusiasts and history buffs will be in heaven at the March Field Air Museum. Located adjacent to the March Air Reserve Base, this museum displays over 70 historic aircraft, ranging from early biplanes to modern jet fighters and drones. It’s an inspiring destination for veteran groups, JROTC units, and STEM field trips. Visitors can see the SR-71 Blackbird up close and explore exhibits detailing the history of military aviation in Riverside County.
The museum is located at 22550 Van Buren Boulevard, Riverside, CA 92518, easily accessible from I-215. Groups visiting the museum often spend several hours walking the tarmac. Having a charter bus rental means you have a dedicated space to store backpacks, lunches, and extra water bottles. If you are planning a multi-stop military history tour involving other sites in the Inland Empire, Charter Bus Rental Company Riverside can build a custom itinerary to fit your schedule perfectly.
Fox Performing Arts Center
For an evening of culture and entertainment, the Fox Performing Arts Center is Riverside’s premier venue. Originally built in 1929 as a cinema, this Spanish Colonial Revival theatre has been beautifully restored and now hosts Broadway shows, concerts, comedy acts, and film screenings. It is the site of the first public screening of "Gone with the Wind" and remains a cultural hub for the city. It's an excellent venue for corporate outings, senior group theater trips, or a sophisticated night out.
Located at 3801 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501, the Fox is right in the middle of the downtown action. Instead of forcing your group to navigate downtown traffic at night and pay for event parking, book a sleek minibus or charter bus. Your driver can drop you off right in front of the marquee for a VIP experience. After the show, your group can head to a late dinner or back home safely without worrying about navigating the dark streets. Call 951-561-6005 to arrange your theater transportation today.
