Whatever brings your group together in LA, we coordinate the vehicle, the route, and the logistics so you can focus on the occasion.

Call 213-354-7147 any time to speak with our reservation team.

Our network spans the full range of group transportation vehicles: 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. We offer a massive variety of vehicles, meaning you never have to pay for seats you do not actually need. Whether your group is eight people heading to the Hollywood Bowl or 56 fans making the run down the 405 to SoFi Stadium, there is a vehicle in our network sized exactly right.

Yes — our reservation specialists are available 24/7/365. LA groups rarely keep banker's hours, and neither do we. Whether your flight lands at LAX at 2 a.m. and you need a transfer sorted immediately, or you are finalizing a Dodger Stadium charter at midnight before a day game, one quick call to 213-354-7147 connects you with a real person who can pull up availability, answer logistics questions, and lock in your booking on the spot.

No voicemail, no callback queue — someone is always there.

All-inclusive pricing, instant online quotes, and a reservation team that knows Los Angeles traffic cold. You will never see a surprise line item — the rate you get in 30 seconds online is the rate you pay. Plus, we have been coordinating group transportation across LA, the San Fernando Valley, Inglewood, and out to Anaheim and Long Beach since 2011.

That means we already know which lots at SoFi Stadium close four hours before kickoff, which lanes at Crypto.com Arena buses use for loading, and which I-10 on-ramps to avoid on a Friday night. Call 213-354-7147 and put that knowledge to work for your group.

A Sprinter van seats up to 14 passengers and is easy to maneuver through tight Hollywood side streets, hotel valet lanes, and the notoriously narrow loading zones along Sunset Boulevard. It is the right pick for airport transfers from LAX, small executive groups heading to a meeting in Century City, or a wedding bridal party getting from the hotel to the venue without a full bus. USB charging and premium leather round out the onboard experience.

The Sprinter limo is the step up from the standard van — same sleek silhouette, upgraded interior. Think premium leather perimeter seating, individual reading lights, tinted privacy windows, and a cabin that reads more event-ready than cargo-ready. It is popular for bachelorette parties rolling into WeHo, birthday groups heading to Nobu Malibu, and corporate VIP runs between the Four Seasons Beverly Hills and the LA Convention Center.

Seats up to 14 and handles LA's tighter drop-off zones with ease.

Party buses are built for the ride itself to be part of the party. Expect a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, and open floor space that doubles as a dance area — all in one cabin that keeps your entire group together from first pickup to last drop-off. Whether you are crawling the Arts District brewery scene or shuttling 40 people to a concert at the Greek Theatre in Griffith Park, the energy starts the moment your group boards.

Sizes run from 15 to 50 passengers.

Minibuses seat 15 to 35 passengers and hit the sweet spot between a Sprinter and a full charter bus. They offer powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, and overhead storage, and they are small enough to handle hotel loops, wedding venue shuttles through Bel-Air, and school field trips heading to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. They also handle the Santa Monica to Downtown LA run smoothly — a corridor that turns 8 miles of Lincoln Boulevard into 45 minutes of gridlock for anyone not in a bus lane.

A 40- to 56-passenger charter bus is the workhorse of large-group travel — undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, reclining seats, overhead storage, WiFi, and power outlets. It handles the long haul: convention groups running between the Anaheim Convention Center and LAX hotel blocks, corporate retreats heading up the PCH to Santa Barbara, or massive fan groups making the trip from Long Beach to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. One bus, 56 passengers, zero parking passes.

Yes. ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair ramps and securement areas are available across our Los Angeles network. Just let our team know your group's specific needs at the time of booking — not the day before — so we can pair you with the right vehicle.

ADA accommodations are confirmed during the reservation process, and there is no additional charge. Call 213-354-7147 to discuss what your group requires.

Start with your confirmed headcount, then build in a small buffer. A group of 12 is fine in a Sprinter limo; a group of 13 is not. A party of 28 that keeps growing as friends RSVP "yes" belongs in a minibus, not a Sprinter.

Our reservation team will ask for your headcount and your itinerary — number of stops, total hours, any luggage or gear — and match you with the vehicle that makes the most operational sense. Call 213-354-7147 and have your guest count ready.

Absolutely. Fleet bookings for large events — corporate conferences at the LA Convention Center, school field trips, stadium group outings, and wedding weekends with 200 guests spread across four hotel blocks in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica — are some of our most common requests. We coordinate staggered departure times, have multiple vehicles ready at the same pickup point, and keep all buses on one reservation so your event has a single point of contact.

Call 213-354-7147 to build out a multi-vehicle plan.

Contact our team as soon as the count shifts. Adding two people to a 12-passenger Sprinter limo puts you over capacity; dropping from 40 to 28 may open up a smaller vehicle at a lower rate. We will work with you to right-size the reservation.

The earlier you call with changes, the more vehicle options we have available — especially during peak periods like prom season, Coachella transfer weekends, and USC home games at the Coliseum when inventory tightens fast.

There is no minimum passenger count — the minimum is the smallest vehicle in our network, a 14-passenger Sprinter van or Sprinter limo. If your group is smaller than that and everyone fits comfortably in the vehicle, you are good to book. That said, for very small parties of two to four people, a rideshare will usually be simpler and less expensive.

We will always give you an honest read on whether a bus makes sense for your specific situation. Call 213-354-7147 and we will tell you straight.

Party buses in our Los Angeles network are fitted for the occasion: full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound system with aux input, flat-panel TVs with DVD, wraparound perimeter seating, and an open cabin center for dancing. You pre-load your playlist, pick up the first round at Total Wine in Burbank before boarding, and the party is already running by the time your group hits the 101 heading into Hollywood. The bus is the pregame and the venue between venues.

Full-size charter buses come equipped with high-back reclining seats, individual climate control, overhead parcel racks, WiFi, power outlets at every row, a PA system, onboard restrooms, and deep undercarriage luggage bays. Those bays are the detail that matters most for convention groups at E3 or Comic-Con spillover events — presentation gear, rolling cases, and checked bags all ride in the belly of the bus without taking up cabin space. The restroom means the 90-minute drive from Downtown LA to Anaheim does not require a pit stop.

WiFi is standard on full-size charter buses in our network, along with power outlets at every seat — essential for corporate groups commuting between the LA Convention Center and Silicon Beach tech campuses in Playa Vista, where the 405 traffic turns a 7-mile drive into an hour-long crawl. Party buses and minibuses are set up for entertainment rather than productivity, but Bluetooth audio connectivity is standard across the fleet. If onboard WiFi is a hard requirement for your trip, mention it when you call 213-354-7147 and we will confirm availability for your vehicle.

Yes, and it is one of our most common requests. Getting to Dodger Stadium means either paying $35 to park in Academy Road lots that fill an hour before first pitch, or riding a rideshare to a pickup zone that backs up for 45 minutes after the final out. A charter bus drops your group at the Stadium Way entrance and waits nearby — no Academy Road gridlock, no walking from a remote lot, no post-game surge pricing.

For playoff runs and opening day, book 6–8 weeks out; those dates sell off our calendar fast.

Both venues are core stops for us. SoFi Stadium (1001 South Prairie Ave, Inglewood, CA 90301) draws stadium-scale concert crowds where Century Boulevard and the 405 interchange backs up hours before doors. Kia Forum (3900 W Manchester Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90305) sits right next door with its own complex parking choreography on event nights.

We drop your group at the venue gate, wait nearby, and pick everyone up when the show ends — while the rest of the crowd spends 90 minutes not moving on the 405. Call 213-354-7147 to lock in your concert date.

Wedding shuttles are a guest favorite, and LA's sprawl makes them genuinely necessary. Your ceremony might be in Malibu, your reception in downtown's Arts District, and your guests staying across four hotel blocks in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Burbank. Without a coordinated shuttle loop, half your guests are circling for valet and arriving late.

A minibus or charter bus handles the full loop — staged departures, clear pickup windows, no guests navigating PCH in formal wear after dark. Call 213-354-7147 for a wedding transportation quote.

Prom is our single busiest season in Los Angeles. High schools across LAUSD, the Conejo Valley, and the South Bay hold proms across a tight five-week window in late April and May, and party bus availability drops fast. Booking in December or January for an April prom date is not early — it is exactly right.

A group of 30 students booked 6 months out pays roughly $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive for a 6-hour rental; the same booking two weeks before prom costs $2,800–$3,500 or results in no availability. For prom: book by January.

Corporate shuttles are a large part of what we do in LA. Shuttling teams between LAX hotel blocks and the Los Angeles Convention Center (1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) on E3 or NAB west-coast event days — when the South Hall lot fills before 8 a.m. and surface parking on Pico backs up to the 110 — is exactly the problem a charter bus solves. We also run daily employee shuttle routes between tech campuses in Playa Vista and metro stations on the Expo Line.

Call 213-354-7147 to build a corporate shuttle plan.

Our network covers the full Los Angeles metro — Downtown LA, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, the San Fernando Valley, the South Bay, Long Beach, Pasadena, Inglewood, Culver City, Burbank, and Glendale. We also run regularly to nearby cities including Anaheim, Irvine, and San Diego for events like Disneyland group trips, Anaheim Convention Center conferences, and Petco Park game-day runs. If your itinerary crosses county lines, call 213-354-7147 — we handle the routing either way.

For most standard bookings — birthday parties, bar crawls, airport transfers, and regular-season Lakers or Clippers games at Crypto.com Arena — two to four weeks of lead time gives you solid vehicle selection. For peak dates (prom, New Year's Eve, the Rose Bowl on January 1st, Coachella transfer weekends in April, and Taylor Swift or Beyoncé-scale concerts), book three to six months out. The Los Angeles market is deep but competitive — the right vehicle at the right rate disappears quickly when demand spikes.

LAX has a specific commercial ground transportation protocol that catches first-timers off guard. Charter buses do not pick up at the terminal curb — they wait in the designated charter lot on the west side of the airport and pull to the Upper/Lower Arrivals roadway only after your group coordinator calls to release them. Have everyone gathered with luggage at the agreed terminal door before making that call.

We recommend reviewing the official LAX ground transportation page before arrival day to confirm current staging procedures.

Multi-stop trips are standard. A brewery crawl through the Arts District that hits Highland Park Brewery, Boomtown Brewing, and Angel City Brewery before finishing in DTLA; a bachelorette night that starts in Beverly Hills and ends in West Hollywood; a corporate outing that begins at the office in El Segundo and hits three venues before returning — all of that is one booking. Give our team your full stop list and timing when you call 213-354-7147 and we will build the route.

It is Los Angeles — we plan for it. Every itinerary gets buffer time built in around known bottlenecks: the 405/10 interchange during the afternoon, the Hollywood Freeway between downtown and the Bowl on concert nights, the ramp from Century Boulevard heading into LAX during afternoon bank hours. If a closure or an accident creates an unavoidable delay, our team is reachable 24/7 at 213-354-7147.

We communicate proactively and adjust the route when alternatives exist — you will not be left without information.

Two ways: use our online quote tool for a result in under 30 seconds — you see the exact all-inclusive price, no hidden add-ons, before you ever commit — or call 213-354-7147 and a reservation specialist walks through it with you in real time. Pricing depends on vehicle type, total hours, mileage, and date. Weekend rates run higher than weekday; peak-event dates run higher than off-peak.

Either way, the number you see is the number you pay. Call 213-354-7147 to get started.
