A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Highlanders at UC Riverside
For NCAA Division I action, there is no better place in the city than the University of California, Riverside. Home to the Highlanders, the UCR campus buzzes with energy during basketball, baseball, and soccer seasons. If you are organizing a trip for a large group of alumni, a student organization, or a visiting team, relying on individual cars can result in a logistical nightmare, especially given the sprawling nature of the campus near the Box Springs Mountains. By booking a private charter bus rental, you ensure that your entire group arrives at the UCR Student Recreation Center (900 University Ave, Riverside, CA 92521) or the Riverside Sports Complex (1000 W Linden St, Riverside, CA 92507) together.
Our buses are equipped with plenty of undercarriage storage, perfect for hauling tailgating gear for fans or heavy equipment bags for visiting teams. Plus, with onboard WiFi and power outlets, students and fans can post their game-day photos in real-time without draining their batteries. Avoid the stress of navigating campus parking lots during big rivalry games against other Big West teams. Let Charter Bus Riverside drop you off right near the entrance, ensuring you don't miss tip-off or the first pitch. We have years of experience navigating the university area and can coordinate the perfect pick-up and drop-off schedule for your group.
Catch Lancer Fever at California Baptist University
Just a short drive down Magnolia Avenue lies another titan of Riverside sports: California Baptist University. The CBU Lancers have built a reputation for having some of the most spirited fans in the state, and the atmosphere inside the CBU Events Center (8432 Magnolia Ave, Riverside, CA 92504) is absolutely electric. Whether you are a youth group heading to a basketball game or a visiting squad competing in a volleyball tournament, arriving in a Charter Bus Riverside motorcoach sets a professional tone for the trip.
The CBU Events Center is a state-of-the-art facility, and your transportation should match that quality. Our full-size charter buses offer reclining seats and climate-controlled cabins, essential for keeping athletes rested and cool during those hot Riverside afternoons. If you are a fan group, you can start the chanting and cheering the moment you step onto the bus. We can arrange a shuttle service to pick you up from local churches, schools, or community centers and take you directly to the specialized bus loading zones at CBU. Don't let the traffic on the 91 freeway dampen your Lancer spirit; let us handle the driving while you focus on the victory.
Tournament Travel to Big League Dreams Riverside
For youth sports and amateur adult leagues, Big League Dreams Riverside (10550 Citrus St, Riverside, CA 92503) is the ultimate destination. Featuring scaled-down replicas of famous major league ballparks like Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium, this complex hosts massive tournaments that draw teams from all over the Southwest. However, coordinating travel for a team of 15 to 20 players, plus coaches and parents, typically involves a chaotic caravan of minivans and SUVs. This often leads to players arriving at different times, parents getting lost, and equipment being scattered across multiple vehicles.
Charter Bus Riverside offers a better solution. By renting a charter bus for your tournament weekend, you keep the team united. Coaches can use the travel time to review plays on the bus's PA system or flat-screen TVs, while players can bond and mentally prepare for the competition. Our buses feature massive luggage bays capable of storing bats, balls, catchers' gear, coolers, and folding chairs with ease. We can even shuttle your team between the fields and your hotel, or take you out for a celebratory team dinner at the nearby Tyler Galleria area. Give your youth team the major league treatment they deserve with professional transportation.
Golf Outings in the Inland Empire
Riverside and the surrounding Inland Empire are home to some of the most scenic and challenging golf courses in Southern California. If you are planning a corporate outing, a bachelor party, or a tournament for your country club, transportation is key to keeping the group together and on schedule. Oak Quarry Golf Club (7151 Sierra Ave, Riverside, CA 92509), known for its stunning views of the historic Jansen Quarry, is a favorite destination. Similarly, the prestigious Victoria Club (2521 Arroyo Dr, Riverside, CA 92506) offers a classic golfing experience right in the heart of the city.
A minibus rental from Charter Bus Riverside is the perfect size for a group of golfers and their clubs. You won't have to worry about fitting bulky golf bags into the trunks of rideshares or compact rental cars. Our buses offer ample storage space, ensuring your clubs arrive in pristine condition. Plus, after a long day on the greens under the California sun, nothing beats relaxing in an air-conditioned bus with plush seating. You can even enjoy a few drinks at the clubhouse post-round, knowing that you have a dedicated driver ready to take everyone home comfortably. We can create a custom itinerary that hits multiple courses over a weekend or provides a simple shuttle for a one-day charity event.
Day Trips to Pro Sports in Los Angeles and Anaheim
One of the biggest advantages of living in or visiting Riverside is its proximity to major professional sports hubs, but anyone who lives here knows the pain of the commute. Driving to Anaheim to see the Angels or Ducks, or trekking into Los Angeles for the Dodgers, Lakers, or Rams, involves navigating some of the most congested freeways in the country. Don't let the gridlock ruin your game day experience. Charter Bus Riverside regularly transports fan groups from the IE to Angel Stadium (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806), the Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806), and SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301).
When you book a charter bus for a pro sports outing, the party starts the minute you leave Riverside. Your group can enjoy beverages onboard, listen to music, and socialize without the stress of bumper-to-bumper traffic. We can drop you off right at the designated charter bus parking areas, saving you the exorbitant costs and headaches of general stadium parking. Whether it is a company appreciation night at a baseball game or a family reunion trip to see NFL action, we turn the commute into the best part of the day.
The Riverside Aquatics Complex Competitions
Riverside is a hub for competitive swimming and diving, thanks largely to the Riverside Aquatics Complex (4800 Magnolia Ave, Riverside, CA 92506) located at Riverside City College. This world-class facility hosts CIF championships, club meets, and even Olympic qualifiers. For swim teams traveling from out of town or local high schools attending a major meet, a charter bus rental provides the space and climate control necessary for peak performance. Swimmers have a lot of gear—parkas, swim bags, towels, and recovery snacks—and a standard school bus simply doesn't offer the storage capacity or comfort needed for a long day at the pool.
With Charter Bus Riverside, athletes can rest in reclining seats between heats, staying out of the sun and off their feet. The drivers understand the tight schedules of swim meets and will ensure the bus is warmed up (or cooled down) and ready for the team whenever it is time to depart. We can also arrange shuttles for spectators and parents, ensuring that the cheering section arrives together without clogging up the college parking structures. Keep your team focused on their times and turns, not on the travel logistics.
Tailgating and Fan Group Transportation
You don't need to be on the roster to enjoy the benefits of a charter bus. Some of our most enthusiastic clients are fan clubs and groups of friends who take tailgating seriously. If you are heading to a big game—whether it's a local college rivalry or a trip to the Rose Bowl—you need a vehicle that can haul your grills, tents, coolers, and cornhole boards. Our full-size charter buses have massive under-floor luggage compartments perfect for all your tailgating essentials.
Comfort is also a major priority for fan groups. By hiring a dedicated driver through Charter Bus Riverside, you automatically have a designated driver for the entire group. This means everyone can enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine at the tailgate without worrying about the drive home. We can customize your itinerary to include stops at a local grocery store for last-minute supplies or a post-game victory dinner at a restaurant in Downtown Riverside. Transform your game day from a logistical headache into a luxury experience that your friends will be talking about for seasons to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Riverside Sports Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Riverside for a sports event?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the distance traveled, and the time of year. For example, a full-day rental for a trip to Los Angeles will cost differently than a local four-hour shuttle. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our reservation team at 951-618-7440 with your specific itinerary. We can provide a free, personalized quote in minutes, or you can use our online tool for instant estimates.
Is there enough room for all our sports equipment?
Absolutely. Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses are designed with spacious undercarriage storage bays that can easily accommodate large items like hockey bags, football pads, golf clubs, and coolers. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for smaller personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are renting a smaller minibus, storage space may be more limited, so be sure to let our reservation specialists know exactly what you are bringing so we can match you with the perfect vehicle.
Do your buses have WiFi and power outlets?
Most of the modern charter buses and minibuses in our fleet come equipped with WiFi and power outlets to keep you connected and charged on the road. We know how important it is for athletes to stay focused with music or for coaches to review game footage. If these amenities are a priority for your group, please request them when you book your bus to ensure your vehicle is outfitted with the tech you need.
How far in advance should we book our bus for the season?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your game schedule is finalized. For major events, playoffs, or busy seasons (like spring and fall), buses can book up quickly—often 3 to 6 months in advance. Booking early not only guarantees availability but also helps you lock in the best possible rates. However, if you have a last-minute need, give us a call at 951-618-7440; we have a large fleet and will do our best to accommodate your team.
