A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Conquer Coachella and Stagecoach Music Festivals in Style
Every spring, the eyes of the music world turn to the Empire Polo Club (81-800 Avenue 51, Indio, CA 92201) for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Stagecoach Country Music Festival. These massive events draw hundreds of thousands of visitors, turning the roads between Palm Springs and Indio into a gridlock. If you are traveling with a large group of friends or organizing a corporate retreat around the festivals, a private party bus or charter bus rental is the ultimate travel hack. Forget about waiting for hours in rideshare lines or losing your car in dusty parking lots that stretch for miles. With Charter Bus Palm Springs, your driver can drop you off as close to the entrance as possible and be waiting for you when the final encore finishes.
Our buses are equipped with amenities that are essential for festival survival. After a long day of dancing in the sun, there is nothing better than stepping onto a climate-controlled bus with reclining seats. You can use the onboard storage bays to keep extra water, change of clothes, and festival gear safe and accessible. Plus, with a private shuttle, you control the schedule. Whether you want to arrive early to catch the opening acts or leave a bit later to beat the rush, your itinerary is up to you. We serve groups staying anywhere in the valley, from hotels in downtown Palm Springs to vacation rentals in La Quinta and Cathedral City.
VIP Transportation for the Palm Springs International Film Festival
For two weeks every January, Palm Springs transforms into Hollywood East for the Palm Springs International Film Festival. This prestigious event attracts A-list celebrities, directors, and film buffs from around the globe. Screenings are held at various venues, including the Palm Springs Convention Center (277 N Avenida Caballeros, Palm Springs, CA 92262) and the Palm Springs Cultural Center (2300 E Baristo Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92262). If you are attending with a group of industry professionals, a film club, or just a group of movie-loving friends, a sprinter limo or minibus rental offers the elegance and efficiency the occasion demands. You can travel between screenings, galas, and dinner reservations without the hassle of valet lines or split-up rideshares.
We understand that punctuality is key during a film festival where schedules are tight. Your driver will ensure you make it from the red carpet galas to the Q&A sessions on time. Our vehicles offer a sophisticated environment perfect for discussing the films you’ve just seen or networking with colleagues. With amenities like leather seating, power outlets to keep your devices charged, and tinted windows for privacy, you can travel like a star even if you aren't walking the red carpet. Let Charter Bus Palm Springs handle the logistics so you can focus on the art of cinema.
Catch the Action at the BNP Paribas Open
Known as the "Fifth Grand Slam," the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden (78200 Miles Ave, Indian Wells, CA 92210) is a massive draw for tennis fans. The tournament brings in huge crowds, and parking at the venue can be expensive and time-consuming. Whether you are a local tennis club, a school team, or a group of fans visiting from out of state, renting a charter bus is the smartest way to attend the matches. A charter bus rental allows your entire group to travel together, building excitement on the way to the courts and discussing the highlights on the way back. We can arrange daily shuttles to and from your hotel or resort, ensuring you never miss a serve.
For tennis teams and larger groups, our full-size charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage for tennis bags, coolers, and personal luggage. Inside, your group can relax in spacious seats with plenty of legroom—perfect for resting after a long day in the sun. Avoiding the stress of driving on Highway 111 during tournament weeks is a huge advantage. Your driver handles the traffic and navigation, dropping you off right near the gates. Trust Charter Bus Palm Springs to provide a grand slam transportation experience for your group during tennis season.
Experience Modernism Week with a Private Tour Bus
Palm Springs is famous for its mid-century modern architecture, and Modernism Week is the ultimate celebration of this design legacy. The event features home tours, architectural bus tours, and parties across the city. However, many of these events take place in residential neighborhoods like Vista Las Palmas or Twin Palms, where parking is extremely limited or restricted. By booking a private minibus from Charter Bus Palm Springs, you can create your own custom architectural tour. Your driver can navigate the narrow residential streets while your group enjoys unobstructed views of the iconic butterfly roofs and desert landscaping through the bus's panoramic windows.
Instead of relying on public tours that might sell out or not cover the specific homes you want to see, a private charter allows you to set your own pace. Start your day at the CAMP (Community And Meeting Place) (230 Museum Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262) and head out to see the Frey House II or the Kaufmann Desert House. The drivers are familiar with the area and can facilitate easy hop-on, hop-off service for your group. With a private rental, you can also bring along refreshments to enjoy between stops, making for a truly bespoke Modernism Week experience.
Concerts and Hockey at Acrisure Arena
The newest jewel in the Coachella Valley's crown is Acrisure Arena (75702 Varner Rd, Palm Desert, CA 92211). Located right off I-10, this state-of-the-art venue hosts the Coachella Valley Firebirds hockey team as well as major concerts from global superstars. While the venue is spectacular, getting thousands of cars in and out of the parking lots can result in significant delays. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Palm Springs is the perfect solution for large groups heading to a game or a show. We can organize a pickup from your local sports bar, office, or community center and take you directly to the designated bus drop-off zone at the arena.
For Firebirds fans, a bus rental is the best way to tailgate on the move. Get the chant started early, wear your jerseys, and enjoy the ride without worrying about designating a driver. For concert-goers, the party starts the moment you step on the bus. Connect your phone to the onboard sound system and play your favorite tracks from the artist you are about to see. After the event, you can bypass the long lines of cars waiting to pay for parking and head straight to your next destination, whether that's a late-night diner or back home. Acrisure Arena events are better when you don't have to drive—let us take the wheel.
VillageFest and Downtown Palm Springs Events
Every Thursday night, Palm Canyon Drive transforms into a bustling street fair known as VillageFest. It’s a staple of Palm Springs culture, featuring arts, crafts, food, and entertainment. In addition to VillageFest, downtown Palm Springs hosts the annual Pride Parade, the Festival of Lights, and various street fairs throughout the year. During these times, main roads are closed, and parking downtown becomes incredibly difficult to find. If you are bringing a group to experience the vibrant street life of Palm Springs, a shuttle bus rental is essential. We can drop your group off at a convenient location near Palm Canyon Drive, allowing you to explore the market and shops freely.
Our services are ideal for senior communities, church groups, or corporate teams looking to enjoy an evening out downtown. You won't have to circle the block looking for parking spaces or walk long distances in the heat. Your charter bus will be waiting at a pre-arranged time and location to whisk you away. Enjoy the art galleries, the Walk of Stars, and the outdoor dining without a single worry about logistics. Charter Bus Palm Springs makes enjoying the heart of the city accessible and stress-free for groups of any size.
