We’ll ask for a few details about your trip, such as the date(s), pickup and drop-off locations, number of passengers, and any must-have amenities. Based on that information, we’ll build a custom quote with exact pricing and send it to you in minutes. There’s no obligation to book, and we’re happy to answer any questions you have about the vehicles, features, or payment process. If you’re planning a recurring shuttle—for example, daily service between Downtown Long Beach and Seal Beach—we can provide long-term contract rates as well.

We provide transportation for absolutely any kind of group or event in Long Beach and beyond. That includes corporate commuters working at the Port of Long Beach or Douglas Park, convention shuttles to the Long Beach Convention Center, cruise transfers to the Carnival or Princess terminals, wedding guest shuttles to venues like The Loft on Pine or Hotel Maya, sports team travel for high schools and colleges, field trips to the Aquarium of the Pacific or El Dorado Nature Center, concert transportation to the Queen Mary or Shoreline Amphitheatre, private parties, church outings, and more. We also handle multi-day tours, casino runs, winery excursions, and long-distance trips anywhere in California or out of state. No group is too big or too small—we’ll build a custom solution that fits your schedule and budget.

Long Beach has several designated areas for charter bus parking and passenger loading/unloading, but it’s important to plan ahead because space is limited in some neighborhoods. Popular drop-off points include the Long Beach Convention Center (Seaside Way), Aquarium of the Pacific (Aquarium Way), Shoreline Village (Shoreline Drive), Queen Mary (Queen’s Highway), and Belmont Shore (2nd Street at Livingston). For downtown hotels or restaurants, curb space may be available on Ocean Boulevard, Pine Avenue, or Broadway, but your bus may need to stage elsewhere after unloading. There is no overnight bus parking at city beaches or parks, but we can recommend secure lots in the industrial area west of I-710 or arrange remote parking at your request.

Yes, we offer one-way rentals to any destination in California or neighboring states. Whether you need to move a group from Long Beach to LAX, Disneyland, Palm Springs, San Diego, Las Vegas, or San Francisco, we can provide a comfortable coach for the journey. One-way pricing is based on distance and whether the bus needs to return empty (deadhead) or pick up another group along the route. This option is popular for cruise passengers, college students moving campuses, or anyone relocating without a return date. Just let us know your origin, destination, and timing, and we’ll quote you a fair rate with no hidden fees.

We can provide ADA-compliant buses with wheelchair lifts, securement areas, and extra-wide aisles upon request. Please specify your accessibility needs when booking so we can assign a vehicle that meets all requirements. Features include rear or mid-ship lifts capable of handling power chairs, designated spaces with tie-downs, priority seating for riders with limited mobility, and grab handles at every door. Restrooms on full-size coaches are large enough for ambulatory access but not fully wheelchair-accessible. If you need assistance boarding, stowing medical equipment, or making additional stops, just ask—your comfort is our priority.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your event—to ensure the best selection and pricing. Spring and summer are peak seasons for weddings, graduations, and festivals, so inventory can sell out quickly. For major events like the Grand Prix of Long Beach, Pride Parade, or Fourth of July fireworks, reserve your transportation as soon as you confirm the date. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but you may pay higher rates or have fewer vehicle choices. If your plans change, contact us right away to adjust your reservation.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages on board, as long as they’re in spill-proof containers and you clean up after your group. Alcohol is permitted on most buses for passengers over 21, but glass bottles are strongly discouraged—use cans or plastic instead. Coolers should be small enough to fit under seats or in the aisle without blocking exits. Large catering trays or pizza boxes may be stored in the rear or luggage bay. Please dispose of all trash in provided bins or take it with you at the end of the trip.

Long Beach traffic can be unpredictable, especially during rush hour on the 405, 710, or surface streets like Ocean Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway. If your bus is delayed due to congestion, construction, or road closures, we’ll communicate updates in real time and adjust the route if possible. Please build extra buffer time into your schedule for critical arrivals—such as cruise departures or flight connections—to account for potential hold-ups. If you miss a scheduled drop-off window (e.g., at the Queen Mary or Convention Center), we’ll work with venue staff to reschedule or reroute as needed. Additional wait time may incur overtime charges, which will be explained in your contract.

Absolutely—we specialize in setting up long-term shuttle programs for businesses, office parks, hospitals, universities, and apartment complexes. Recurring service can be tailored to your exact needs, whether it’s daily rush-hour loops between a parking lot and workplace, midday circulators around campus, or late-night rides home for shift workers. We handle all scheduling, dispatch, and vehicle maintenance so you don’t have to. Popular routes include downtown commuter shuttles, last-mile connections from Metro Blue Line stations, and residential pickups along Ocean Boulevard or Anaheim Street. Contract rates are discounted compared to single-use rentals, making this an affordable way to reduce traffic and improve quality of life for your organization.
