Charter bus service across Inland Empire

Inland Empire group work has a few steady sources: UC Riverside, Cal State San Bernardino, the University of Redlands and Loma Linda University moving teams and students; distribution and warehouse campuses in Ontario, Fontana, Eastvale and Moreno Valley running shift shuttles; churches and schools booking trips to the coast and the theme parks; and ski and snow groups heading up to Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead in winter. Ontario International Airport is the region's gateway, and it is far easier for a coach than LAX.

Trips are matched to operators in the network based near the pickup, so a Redlands trip is not priced with an empty run from the coast. Distances here are long, and SR-91, I-10, I-15 and SR-60 all back up at rush hour, so schedules are built around them. Every operator holds California charter-party carrier authority (CPUC TCP), and student trips are matched only to SPAB-certified buses and drivers when you flag them at booking.

We serve Riverside and San Bernardino counties — from Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga and Corona to airport runs at ONT, PSP, LAX and SNA.

Charter bus rental in Inland Empire — FAQ

How much does it cost to charter a bus in the Inland Empire?

A full-size motorcoach generally runs about $1,700 to $2,500 for a full day, and hourly work starts around $175 per hour against a five hour minimum. Minibuses run about $140 to $205 per hour and sprinter vans $120 to $180 per hour on a four hour minimum. A typical standard day lands between $1,050 and $2,100.

Which airport should an Inland Empire group use?

Ontario International (ONT) is the easiest for most of the region, with short walks from baggage claim and quick freeway access. LAX and John Wayne are 60 to 90 minutes away with traffic, and Palm Springs suits groups heading to the desert.

Can a charter bus go up to Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead?

Yes, on the state highways that serve them, but mountain roads are slow and winter chain controls can apply. Operators schedule around road conditions and may adjust vehicle choice in snow.

Do you run shift shuttles for warehouses?

Yes. Recurring shuttles for distribution and logistics campuses are priced as programs by hours per day and days per week.

How far ahead should I book?

Three weeks for most trips. Book four to six weeks ahead for graduation season, holiday weekends and winter snow trips.

Do you serve both Riverside and San Bernardino counties?

Yes, from Corona, Riverside and Moreno Valley through Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, San Bernardino and Redlands, plus trips into the mountains and the desert.

Do charter buses have restrooms and WiFi?

Full-size motorcoaches usually have a restroom and often WiFi. Minibuses and vans usually do not, which matters on the longer runs common here.

Are toll lanes included?

Yes. When the route uses the 91 or 15 Express Lanes or a toll road, the toll is inside the all-in price.

Is gratuity included?

Yes. Pricing is flat and all-in, covering driver, fuel, standard mileage and tolls, with no separate gratuity line.
