Browse the services below and get your free quote in seconds!

Rather than splitting your group across a fleet of rideshares — each one surging, each one going a different direction — a single airport shuttle bus keeps everyone together from curbside to terminal. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) is about 8 miles from Santa Monica via I-10 East to I-405 South, but that drive can stretch to 45 minutes or more during the afternoon peak. At LAX, charter buses do not pick up at the terminal curbs — passengers ride the free LAXit shuttle from their terminal to the LAXit lot, where the bus meets them at the designated commercial vehicle staging area.
Have your group coordinator call the bus forward only after every bag is in hand and everyone is together curbside. Santabarbaracharterbuscompany.com also helps you find buses to Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) (2627 N Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505) and Long Beach Airport (LGB) (4100 Donald Douglas Dr, Long Beach, CA 90808).

With Santabarbaracharterbuscompany.com, you get a better concert night from the very first mile. Instead of hunting for parking on Highland Avenue or sitting in post-show gridlock on the 101, your group rides together and the logistics are already handled. Heading to the Hollywood Bowl (2301 N Highland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90068)?
The Bowl's own policy states that all parking lots are stack parked with no early exit — every car in Lot A ($55 stacked, $90 to valet) is boxed in until the whole lot clears. A Los Angeles concert charter bus skips all of it. One oversized-vehicle pass — $90, purchased in advance through the Bowl Box Office — covers the whole group, and lots open three hours before showtime.
While everyone else waits out the no-early-exit gridlock, you're already rolling back to Santa Monica. Santabarbaracharterbuscompany.com also helps you find buses to Crypto.com Arena (1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) and venues across the Westside.

Shuttle your team between a hotel on Ocean Avenue and a conference at Barker Hangar (3021 Airport Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90405) without worrying about I-10 traffic or parking. A charter bus keeps everyone on the same schedule, on the same vehicle, and on time.
Full-size motorcoaches come with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms — so your team can catch up on emails or prep for the presentation on the ride over. According to the INRIX 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard, Los Angeles drivers lose 87 hours a year to congestion, ranking 4th worst in the nation. One corporate shuttle bus turns that lost time into productive time.

A 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays makes the long haul comfortable for everyone.

For fan groups heading to SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301) — about 10 miles from Santa Monica via I-10 East to I-405 South — charter buses drop off and pick up on the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court, accessed via westbound Pincay Drive using the GPS address 3178 Pincay Dr, Inglewood, CA 90305.

Charter buses do not pick up or drop off at the terminal curbs at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Arriving passengers ride the free LAXit shuttle from their terminal to the LAXit lot, where the charter bus meets them at the designated commercial vehicle staging area. For drop-off, buses use the departures curb on the upper level at the appropriate terminal.
Santa Monica is about 8 miles from LAX via I-10 East to I-405 South — roughly 20 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. Confirm current pickup logistics on the official LAX ground transportation page before your trip, as procedures can change.
Charter buses drop off and pick up on the northbound curb lane on Kareem Court at SoFi Stadium, accessed via westbound Pincay Drive — use the GPS address 3178 Pincay Dr, Inglewood, CA 90305 on your itinerary, as it differs from the venue address. Bus parking is in the Hyundai Pink Zone Lot P only; a prepaid RV/Bus parking pass (POVR) is required and must be arranged well in advance through official team account managers. Charter buses are strictly prohibited from standard single-space car lots.
SoFi is about 10 miles from Santa Monica via I-10 East to I-405 South.
Significantly. According to the INRIX 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard, Los Angeles drivers lose 87 hours a year to congestion — ranking 4th worst in the nation. The westbound I-10 into Santa Monica and the I-405 interchange are among the worst corridors in the country during peak hours (roughly 7–9 am and 4–7 pm).
For events at SoFi Stadium, Crypto.com Arena, Dodger Stadium, or the Hollywood Bowl, build at least 30 to 45 minutes of buffer into your departure time beyond the off-peak drive estimate. A charter bus doesn't make traffic disappear, but it does mean your group is comfortable together instead of scattered across a dozen separate cars all stuck in the same jam.
The Hollywood Bowl requires a prepaid oversized-vehicle pass — $90, purchased in advance through the Bowl Box Office. Lots open three hours before showtime. The Bowl's own policy states that all parking lots are stack parked with no early exit, meaning every car is boxed in until the full lot clears after the show.
A charter bus avoids that entirely: one pass covers the whole group, and you're out when the show ends rather than waiting in a gridlocked lot. Confirm current lot assignments and access details on the official Hollywood Bowl getting-here page before your visit.
Yes — PCH (SR-1) is open to charter buses and motorcoaches traveling between Santa Monica and Malibu. The road is a single lane in each direction through much of the Malibu stretch, and weekend leisure traffic can add 30 to 60 minutes to the drive, especially northbound on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings. For events at Malibu venues, build extra time into your itinerary and confirm that your specific venue can accommodate a full-size motorcoach in its driveway or parking area — some hillside properties are better suited to a minibus or sprinter van.
Mention your destination when you request your quote so the right vehicle size is matched to your route.
Yes — the Twilight Concert Series runs Thursday evenings at Santa Monica Pier (200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA 90401) from June through September, and the pier area gets heavily congested on concert nights. Charter buses drop off on Colorado Avenue just east of Ocean Avenue — the pier's main vehicle approach — and no bus parking is available on the pier itself. Buses stage at nearby structures like the Santa Monica Civic Center Parking Structure (333 Civic Center Dr).
Rideshare surge pricing spikes on Twilight nights, and street parking fills within minutes of doors opening. A charter bus keeps your group together and drops everyone steps from the entrance. Check the current series schedule at santamonicapier.org and book your bus early — summer Thursdays fill fast.
Book three to six months out for most Santa Monica and Los Angeles area trips, and stretch that to six months or more for the highest-demand dates. Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027 is one of the single highest-demand days in LA history — book 6 to 12 months out if your trip lands near that date. Prom season (April–May) across Westside schools, Coachella weekends in April, and LA Rams and Chargers home games at SoFi from September through January all pull heavy demand across the Los Angeles bus market at once.
The LA Marathon on March 7, 2027 brings road closures to Ocean Avenue, Pico Blvd, and Lincoln Blvd that affect Santa Monica departures. Waiting until the last minute on any of these dates means higher prices and fewer vehicles. Call 805-364-0400 right now to lock in your date before availability disappears!
