Vehicles shown above are NOT the exact makes and models available for every trip. We are NOT a transportation company and do not own or operate vehicles.

Amenities listed above are common features that MAY be available on buses. Because we are a referral website and do NOT own or operate buses, exact features vary by vehicle, provider, and availability. After you submit your quote request, you can browse vehicle options, pricing, and available details on the results page. To confirm the exact amenities included with a specific vehicle offered for your trip, call 424-542-0590 before booking.
From the moment you submit your trip details, you can see bus rental pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Santa Monica in under 30 seconds — no account needed, no waiting on a callback. Pricing depends on the vehicle type and size, how many hours you need the bus, the day of the week, and the time of year. A 15-passenger minibus for a short Westside transfer prices differently than a 56-passenger motorcoach for a full-day event at SoFi Stadium.
The fastest way to see exactly what your trip costs is to use the online quote tool right on this page — or call 424-542-0590 any time and a live agent will build a custom package around your dates, headcount, and itinerary. Get your Santa Monica bus rental price in seconds!

Find and Compare Options From Providers Serving Santa Monica
With one search, you unlock vehicles and pricing from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Santa Monica and the entire Los Angeles area — side by side, on one screen, in under a minute. That is the whole point of Busrentalsantamonica.com. You are not limited to whatever one company happens to have parked in its lot on your date.
You are not stuck waiting on a callback from a single operator. You fill out one form, you see your options, and you choose the bus that works for your group and your budget. Every vehicle type is available to compare — sprinter vans, minibuses, party buses, and full-size charter buses — with photos and transparent pricing right on the results page.
And if you want to talk it through, a live team is available every day of the year at 424-542-0590 to walk you through your options and put together a custom package. Find your next bus rental the smart way!
Need airport transfers, concert shuttles, corporate transportation, employee shuttles, prom buses, wedding transportation, wine tours, sporting event charters, school field trips, or long-distance group travel? Whatever brings your group together in Santa Monica, you can find, compare, and book the right bus for it right here. Call 424-542-0590 or use the quote tool to get started!

Use Busrentalsantamonica.com to find airport transportation sized to your group and your schedule. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) sits just 6 miles south of Santa Monica via Lincoln Boulevard or the I-405 — close enough that the drive looks easy until your group is splitting into rideshares at curbside and someone's bag is still at baggage claim. A charter bus or minibus keeps everyone together from your Santa Monica hotel or home to the terminal, with enough undercarriage luggage space for the whole group's bags.
Per LAX's official ground transportation guidance, prearranged charter buses use designated commercial vehicle zones at the arrivals curb by terminal — confirm your terminal's exact curbside zone at LAX ground transportation page before your travel date, since LAX's Terminal Modernization program is actively shifting ground-transport layouts. Do not send the bus to a Cell Phone Waiting Lot: LAX bans commercial vehicles there, and those lots have no shuttle service; your bus goes to the terminal's charter-bus zone once everyone has bags, as shown on the airport's official LAX parking and Cell Phone Waiting Lot page. Heading to Burbank (BUR) or Long Beach (LGB) instead?
The network covers those runs too. Fill out one quick form to compare airport shuttle buses, minibuses, and full-size coaches for your LAX transfer — or call 424-542-0590 any time!

Check concert night off the logistics list before the show even starts! Whether your group is heading to a summer Thursday at the Twilight Concert Series at Santa Monica Pier (200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA 90401) or making the run to the Hollywood Bowl (2301 N. Highland Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90068), a concert bus rental keeps everyone together from the first pickup to the last song. The Hollywood Bowl's own site puts it plainly: "all parking lots are stack parked and there is no early exit" — every car in Lot A is locked in until the whole lot clears.
Your bus grabs one oversized-vehicle pass ($90, purchased in advance through the Bowl Box Office) or stages off-site, drops your group at the entrance, and picks everyone up when the show ends. No gridlock. No hunting for your car.
Lots open three hours before showtime, so map your timing with the Bowl's official getting-here page and its Park & Ride options before you go. Call 424-542-0590 to compare concert buses for your date!

Get a corporate shuttle that runs on your schedule, not the other way around! Busrentalsantamonica.com makes it easy to find corporate transportation for conferences, client events, off-sites, and company dinners across Santa Monica and the greater Los Angeles area. Los Angeles drivers lose more than 100 hours a year to congestion — the worst in the country according to the INRIX 2023 Global Traffic Scorecard — and that's time your team spends in the car instead of at their desks. A corporate shuttle from your Santa Monica office to a conference at the Barker Hangar (3021 Airport Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90405) or a client dinner in Brentwood keeps everyone on the same itinerary without anyone circling for parking on Wilshire Boulevard.
Need WiFi for a working ride? Reclining seats for an early morning run? Undercarriage storage for presentation materials?

When your team's commute runs along the I-10 or the I-405, a dedicated employee shuttle turns the worst part of the workday into something your staff actually looks forward to. Busrentalsantamonica.com helps you find employee shuttle service built around the routes and hours your company actually runs. Set your pickup points — a Metro A Line station at Bergamot Station, a Park & Ride off Lincoln Boulevard, or a residential neighborhood in Culver City — and compare available vehicles and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving the Santa Monica area. Daily commuter routes, weekly runs to a satellite office, or temporary shuttles while your parking structure is under renovation: the network has options for all of it.
Onboard WiFi and power outlets mean your team can check morning emails on the way in and decompress on the way home. Compare buses, packages, and pricing in one place — or call 424-542-0590 to set up a recurring route!

You're never limited to a single fleet when you use Busrentalsantamonica.com to find government and military transportation in the Santa Monica area. Whether you're moving personnel between a federal facility in West Los Angeles and a training site in the South Bay, coordinating group travel for a civic delegation, or arranging multi-day transportation for a large-scale government event, the network has minibuses, full-size charter buses, and ADA-accessible vehicles available to compare. Need an accessible bus with a wheelchair lift and wider aisle clearance?

If you're planning a group trip that goes well beyond the Westside, Busrentalsantamonica.com makes it easy to find long-distance charter bus transportation from Santa Monica to anywhere in California — and beyond. San Francisco is roughly six hours up the I-5 or US-101. Las Vegas is about four hours east on the I-15.
San Diego is two hours south. A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach with reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays makes every one of those runs comfortable for every passenger. Compare coaches from a network of transportation companies serving Santa Monica and find the right vehicle for your distance, your group size, and your budget — all in one place, in under a minute.

Look no further for private event transportation that fits the occasion! Birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, holiday parties, graduation celebrations — whatever has your group getting together in Santa Monica, a charter bus or party bus keeps everyone on the same plan from the first pickup to the last drop-off. Instead of splitting your group into a five-car caravan hunting for parking on the Third Street Promenade — a pedestrian-only zone where buses drop off on Broadway or Colorado Avenue and the group walks in together — one bus handles everything.
Compare party buses with built-in bars, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound systems for a milestone birthday, or find a sleek minibus for a private dinner in Malibu. You set the itinerary, you set the stops, and you enjoy the ride. Fill out one form to compare vehicles and pricing from the network, or call 424-542-0590 to build a custom package around your event!

For the most memorable night of the school year, the ride should match the occasion! Busrentalsantamonica.com makes it easy to find and compare prom party buses and minibuses for students at Santa Monica High School, Crossroads School, Malibu High, and every other Westside school. Prom season runs April through May, and it is the single busiest stretch of the year for party bus and minibus rentals across the entire Los Angeles area. Book six months out or more — waiting until the last minute means paying more or finding nothing available at all.
A 15- to 50-passenger party bus comes loaded with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, and flat-panel TVs — so the celebration starts the moment everyone boards, not when you finally find parking at the venue. Compare available vehicles, colors, and packages from a network of transportation companies serving Santa Monica. Call 424-542-0590 to lock in your prom date today!

It doesn't matter if you're coordinating fan group travel to a Rams game at SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Drive, Inglewood, CA 90301) or moving your youth soccer team to a tournament in the South Bay — Busrentalsantamonica.com makes finding sports transportation easy! SoFi is just 10 miles south of Santa Monica via Lincoln Boulevard or the I-405, and the stadium's own guidance places charter bus drop-off on the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court, accessed via westbound Pincay Drive (follow traffic control officer instructions). Confirm event-specific oversized-vehicle parking availability and pass requirements with the event organizer and your bus operator in advance — so confirm that when you reserve the bus.
One charter bus keeps your entire fan group together for the pregame energy and the postgame ride home, without anyone splitting off to find a rideshare in the Inglewood traffic. Compare buses and pricing from the network, or call 424-542-0590 to lock in your game-day transportation!

Whether you're celebrating at a Malibu clifftop venue, a rooftop in Santa Monica, or a garden estate in Bel-Air, a wedding shuttle keeps every guest on your timeline instead of stuck on the I-10. You can even request available white, black, or silver vehicles to match your wedding colors.

Busrentalsantamonica.com is an advertising and quote-comparison website. It is not a local bus company, not a motor carrier, and it does not own any vehicles. Instead, Busrentalsantamonica.com connects you to a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Santa Monica and the greater Los Angeles area, so you can compare vehicles, amenities, and pricing in one place rather than calling five different operators.
You fill out one form, you see your options, and you choose the bus that works for your group. Booking is completed through a national booking platform. Transportation is provided by independent operators.
Use the online quote tool on this page — it takes about 30 seconds to fill out. Enter your pickup location, destination, date, trip times, and passenger count. Once you submit, you are taken to a results page on a national booking platform showing available vehicles, photos, and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving the Santa Monica area.
From there you can review your options side by side and book the bus you want right online. No account is required. A free quote is also available any time by calling 424-542-0590, and a live agent can put together a custom package around your specific itinerary.
Charter buses drop off groups on Main Street at the auditorium entrance or approach via Olympic Drive to access the rear of the Civic Center complex. After unloading, buses relocate to the Civic Center Parking Structure at 333 Civic Center Drive or to surface lots nearby. Because the Civic Center area is managed by the City of Santa Monica and lot assignments can shift by event, confirm current access details with the auditorium directly at (310) 458-8551 or on the City of Santa Monica's official site before your visit.
Charter buses and oversized vehicles cannot park on the Pier itself or in the adjacent parking structure at 1320 2nd Street — the Santa Monica Pier's own visitor guidance prohibits RVs and buses from that structure. Confirm a legal bus loading location near the Pier approach on Ocean Avenue, without assuming access via Colorado Avenue near the Pier entrance. After unloading, the independent provider must confirm bus-compatible off-street parking; do not assume that Lot 1 at 1550 Pacific Coast Highway and the Lot 4 area on 2nd Street, can accommodate the vehicle merely because they are City-managed public lots.
During the Pier Bridge project, vehicle access at Colorado Avenue from Ocean Avenue is closed, while the temporary vehicle ramp is reserved for emergency and delivery vehicles; pedestrian access remains open through the temporary bridge, as detailed on the City of Santa Monica Pier construction updates page. Have your group coordinator call the bus forward once everyone is together at the agreed curbside point, using only a legal loading location approved for the vehicle and current access restrictions.
Crypto.com Arena (1111 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015) places charter and coach drop-off on Figueroa Street between 11th and 12th Streets, on the west side of the arena, in the designated commercial vehicle zones. After unloading, buses stage in the Convention Center parking area or at off-site lots along Pico Boulevard. One important detail: rideshare and TNC pickup is at L.A. LIVE Way, which is a different location entirely — make sure your group knows to meet the bus at the Figueroa Street drop-off zone, not the rideshare area.
Confirm current commercial vehicle access on the official Crypto.com Arena site before your event, since assignments can shift by show.
SoFi Stadium classifies charter buses as oversized vehicles and routes them to a specific drop-off and parking area. Per the stadium's own guidance, charter buses drop off and pick up passengers on the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court, accessed via westbound Pincay Drive — use 3178 Pincay Dr, Inglewood, CA 90305 as the GPS destination for your itinerary, since this is the correct navigation address rather than the stadium's main street address. After drop-off, NFL oversized vehicle parking is in Hyundai Pink Zone Lot P, which requires a specialized Pink Zone - Oversized Vehicle pass purchased well in advance through official team channels.
For concerts and other non-NFL events, oversized vehicles use the Red Zone and enter via Century Boulevard turning onto Yukon Avenue. These passes are limited, so reserve yours when you reserve the bus. Review current details on the SoFi Stadium official site before game day.
Pauley Pavilion (301 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095) is located on the UCLA campus, and charter buses follow UCLA Transportation's event-day protocols. Per UCLA's official guidance, charter buses and oversized vehicles use Lot 4 on Charles E. Young Drive West for staging and parking. Drop-off occurs on Westwood Plaza near the pavilion entrance, after which the bus relocates to Lot 4.
A special event parking permit must be obtained through UCLA Transportation in advance — walk-up bus parking is not available on event days. Check current permit requirements and lot assignments on the UCLA Transportation official site well before your visit, and reserve your permit when you book your bus.
The Hollywood Bowl's own site is direct: "all parking lots are stack parked and there is no early exit." Every car in Lot A ($55 stacked, or $90 to valet) is locked in until the show ends and the entire lot clears. A charter bus sidesteps all of that.
Your bus secures one oversized-vehicle pass ($90), purchased in advance through the Bowl Box Office, which covers the whole group. Buses may also stage off-site and return for pickup. Lots open three hours before showtime, so plan your arrival window using the Bowl's official getting-here page.
The Bowl also runs Park & Ride shuttles from locations including a Santa Monica departure point — worth checking if your group wants a hybrid option. While the stacked-lot crowd waits, your group is already on the way home.
Book three to six months out for most Santa Monica and Los Angeles area trips, and stretch that to six months or more for the dates that fill the entire LA market at once. The Hollywood Bowl season runs June through October and books out fast on weekend shows. Rams and Chargers home games at SoFi Stadium run September through January.
The Twilight Concert Series at Santa Monica Pier draws big Thursday-evening crowds all summer. Prom season in April and May across Santa Monica High, Crossroads, Malibu High, and other Westside schools is one of the single busiest stretches of the year for party buses and minibuses across all of LA County. The Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game on January 1 pull demand from every corner of the region.
Waiting until the last minute means higher rates, fewer vehicles, and real risk of no availability at all. Call 424-542-0590 right now to lock in your date!
