A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Glen Helen Amphitheater
If you are a music lover living in Southern California, a trip to the Glen Helen Amphitheater (2575 Glen Helen Pkwy, San Bernardino, CA 92407) is a rite of passage. As the largest outdoor music venue in the United States, this massive amphitheater boasts a capacity of 65,000 people and hosts some of the biggest music festivals in the world, including rock, metal, and country music extravaganzas. While the venue offers breathtaking views of the Cajon Pass and incredible acoustics, the parking situation can be daunting. Traffic jams entering and exiting the venue can last for hours, and the walk from the general parking lots to the entrance can be long and dusty.
This is why booking a private charter bus rental for concerts at Glen Helen is the ultimate game-changer. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus San Bernardino, your group can bypass the stress of driving. You can pre-game on the bus (if everyone is of legal age) using our onboard sound systems, enjoy the air conditioning while waiting in line, and get dropped off significantly closer to the entrance than general parking allows. After the encore, you won’t have to worry about finding your car in a sea of thousands or navigating the steep exit roads in the dark—your driver will be waiting to take you home comfortably.
National Orange Show (NOS) Events Center
The National Orange Show (NOS) Events Center (689 S E St, San Bernardino, CA 92408) is the heartbeat of San Bernardino's event scene. Spanning over 120 acres, this versatile venue hosts everything from the annual National Orange Show Fair to massive electronic dance music festivals like Beyond Wonderland, Escape Halloween, and Countdown NYE. It is also a prime location for trade shows, corporate conventions, and large-scale indoor/outdoor expos. If you are an event organizer or a group of attendees, coordinating travel to the NOS Center is critical for a smooth experience.
For festival-goers, a party bus rental is the safest and most fun way to attend. You ensure that everyone in your "rave fam" stays together, arrives at the same time, and has a safe, sober ride home at the end of the night. For corporate groups attending trade shows, a sleek charter bus or minibus offers a professional atmosphere where your team can network, check emails via onboard WiFi, or review presentation materials before arriving. Charter Bus San Bernardino can coordinate complex shuttle services for large events, moving hundreds of attendees between local hotels and the NOS Center efficiently.
First Original McDonald's Museum
For a slice of Americana and a look into global business history, the First Original McDonald's Museum (1398 N E St, San Bernardino, CA 92405) is a must-visit. While not an officially licensed McDonald's restaurant today, this site is the location where Richard and Maurice McDonald opened the very first McDonald's Bar-B-Q restaurant in 1940, which later became the burger giant we know today. The location is now owned by Albert Okura, founder of the Juan Pollo restaurant chain, who has turned it into a museum packed with vintage memorabilia, Happy Meal toys, and historical photos.
This destination is perfect for sightseeing tour groups, senior citizen outings, and school history trips. Since the museum is located on a busy street with limited parking for large vehicles, a charter bus rental makes visiting easy. Your driver can drop your group off right at the front to explore the outdoor exhibits and murals before parking nearby. It is a quirky, fascinating stop that offers a deep dive into the history of the Inland Empire's influence on global culture.
Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel
Just a stone's throw from the San Bernardino city limits in Highland, Yaamava' Resort & Casino (777 San Manuel Blvd, Highland, CA 92346) represents the pinnacle of luxury and entertainment in the Inland Empire. As one of the largest casinos on the West Coast, it features thousands of slot machines, high-limit gaming rooms, a stunning pool deck, and a state-of-the-art theater that hosts A-list comedians and musicians. Whether you are planning a bachelor party, a 21st birthday celebration, or a senior community day trip, Yaamava' is a top-tier destination.
Arriving in a private charter bus adds a VIP touch to your casino outing. Instead of splitting up into multiple cars and navigating the massive parking structures, your group can roll up to the designated bus entrance together. Our buses offer plush, reclining seats so you can relax on the drive over, and plenty of storage space if you plan on staying overnight at the resort. Plus, having a driver ensures that everyone can enjoy cocktails and the gaming floor responsibly without worrying about the drive home down Highland Avenue.
San Bernardino County Museum
Located in nearby Redlands, the San Bernardino County Museum (2024 Orange Tree Ln, Redlands, CA 92374) is the premier regional museum for cultural and natural history. It is an exceptional destination for school field trips, scout troops, and educational tours. The museum features extensive exhibits on the region's anthropology, geology, paleontology, and the citrus industry that built the local economy. The outdoor train exhibits and cactus gardens also provide great photo opportunities.
When transporting students, safety and organization are paramount. Unlike cramped yellow school buses, a modern charter bus rental from Charter Bus San Bernardino provides comfortable seating with seatbelts, climate control to beat the Inland Empire heat, and onboard entertainment systems to keep students occupied during the ride. We can easily accommodate entire grade levels with our fleet of 56-passenger motorcoaches. The museum has a designated area for bus parking, making loading and unloading students safe and efficient away from general traffic.
California Theatre of the Performing Arts
For lovers of the arts, the California Theatre of the Performing Arts (562 W 4th St, San Bernardino, CA 92401) is a historic gem. Built in 1928, this venue was originally a Fox Movie Palace and has since been restored to host Broadway tours, symphony orchestras, ballets, and concerts. It is the cultural anchor of downtown San Bernardino and retains its classic, old-Hollywood charm. Groups often visit for evening performances of The Nutcracker during the holidays or touring musical productions throughout the year.
Attending a show here is an elegant affair, and your transportation should reflect that. A charter bus rental is perfect for theater groups, senior communities, or corporate client entertainment. Drop-off is right in front of the theater, saving your group from walking long distances in evening wear. After the show, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to a late dinner or back home. Ask about our buses with leather interiors to elevate the experience for your theater-going group.
San Bernardino National Forest (Rim of the World Scenic Byway)
San Bernardino serves as the base for the stunning San Bernardino National Forest. The "Rim of the World" Scenic Byway (State Route 18) offers some of the most spectacular views in Southern California as it winds its way up to mountain resort towns like Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake. Groups travel here year-round for skiing and snowboarding at Snow Valley, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, or enjoying summer lakeside retreats. It is a fantastic escape from the city heat without having to travel far.
However, mountain driving can be intimidating for those unfamiliar with winding roads, steep grades, and potential weather conditions. This is where a charter bus driver becomes invaluable. The drivers are familiar with navigating mountain terrain comfortably. Your group can enjoy the breathtaking vistas out of the panoramic windows without the white-knuckle stress of driving the switchbacks. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage for skis, snowboards, coolers, and camping gear, making it the ideal solution for scout troops, church retreats, and ski clubs heading up the mountain.
Fiesta Village Family Fun Park
If you are looking for pure fun, Fiesta Village Family Fun Park (1405 E Washington St, Colton, CA 92324) is a classic Inland Empire destination located just south of San Bernardino. It features go-karts, mini-golf, batting cages, carnival rides, and a water park area with slides. It is a favorite spot for end-of-year school parties, youth group lock-ins, and corporate team-building events that want to focus on lighthearted competition.
Coordinating a large group of energetic kids or teenagers can be like herding cats. A charter bus rental keeps everyone contained in one vehicle, making headcounts simple for chaperones. We can schedule multiple pickups at schools or community centers and provide a direct shuttle to the park's entrance. The onboard PA system is perfect for making announcements about meeting times and park rules before arrival. With a private bus, you ensure the fun starts the moment the group steps onboard.

Can we take a bus up to Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead?
Yes, absolutely! The drivers are familiar with navigating the "Rim of the World" highway and other mountain roads leading to Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead. However, please let us know in advance if you plan to travel to the mountains, especially during winter months. We need to ensure the bus assigned to your trip is equipped for mountain driving and, if necessary, carries tire chains in compliance with California highway regulations.
Do you service events at the NOS Center?
Yes, we are very familiar with the National Orange Show (NOS) Events Center. We frequently provide transportation for music festivals, trade shows, and private events held at the venue.

For large-scale events involving multiple shuttles, our team can help coordinate a fleet to keep your attendees moving efficiently.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. For major events in San Bernardino, such as festivals at the NOS Center or concerts at Glen Helen Amphitheater, demand for buses is extremely high. Ideally, you should book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to secure the best availability and pricing. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us regardless of your timeline.
