A few of the companies we’ve worked with
South Coast Plaza
If your group loves to shop, South Coast Plaza isn't just a mall—it is an international destination. As the largest shopping center on the West Coast, it features an unparalleled collection of more than 250 boutiques and restaurants, ranging from luxury brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton to popular favorites like Uniqlo. Navigating a complex this large with a group can be daunting if everyone drives separately. Parking structures can be confusing and finding multiple spots near each other is nearly impossible on weekends.
When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Costa Mesa, we can drop your group off right at the designated motorcoach entrance, often located near the Bridge of Gardens or the Bear Street entrance. Your group can shop until they drop without worrying about carrying heavy bags back to a car parked a mile away. We can even coordinate mid-day pickups if your group wants to store their purchases in the bus's spacious undercarriage luggage bays before heading to dinner. Whether you are bringing a tour group from out of state or a local fashion club, a bus rental makes the South Coast Plaza experience luxurious and stress-free.
South Coast Plaza 3333 Bristol St, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Segerstrom Center for the Arts
Costa Mesa is known as the City of the Arts largely because of this incredible campus. The Segerstrom Center for the Arts is Orange County’s premier performing arts venue, hosting everything from hit Broadway musicals and jazz concerts to the American Ballet Theatre and the Pacific Symphony. If you are organizing a trip for a theater group, a senior community outing, or a corporate client appreciation night, arriving in a private shuttle is the classiest way to start the evening.
Traffic around the Town Center Drive area can get congested before a show, and parking structures often charge a premium while requiring a long walk to the theater doors. With a Charter Bus Costa Mesa rental, your driver can drop your group off curbside, just steps from the entrance to Segerstrom Hall or the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Your passengers can relax in reclining seats, enjoying the anticipation of the show, rather than stressing over the clock. After the final curtain call, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to a late-night dinner or back to your hotel.
Segerstrom Center for the Arts 600 Town Center Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
OC Fair & Event Center
Home to the annual Orange County Fair, the OC Fair & Event Center is a hub of activity year-round. From the massive summer fair featuring carnival rides, deep-fried treats, and livestock exhibits to the weekly swap meets, gun shows, and the Imaginology festival for students, there is always something happening here. During the summer concerts at the Pacific Amphitheatre or The Hangar, traffic on the 55 Freeway and Fairview Road can be gridlocked.
Booking a charter bus rental in Costa Mesa is the smartest move for attending events here. We can help you organize a large group trip for the fair, ensuring everyone arrives together. Instead of paying individual parking fees for a dozen cars, your group can split the cost of a bus and get dropped off near the main gates. If you are attending a concert at the Pacific Amphitheatre, a party bus is a great way to tailgate responsibly and enjoy the pre-show atmosphere without worrying about a designated driver. We also handle large-scale transportation for corporate buyouts and school field trips to Centennial Farm located on the grounds.

The LAB Anti-Mall
For groups looking for something a bit more eclectic and youthful, The LAB (Little American Business) Anti-Mall is a must-visit. Created to combat the monotony of traditional retail, this indoor-outdoor space is filled with art installations, hip boutiques, and unique dining options. It is a favorite spot for student groups, photography clubs, and visitors who want to experience the cool, "hipster" side of Costa Mesa. The layout is open and inviting, perfect for wandering with friends.
Parking at The LAB can be tight due to its popularity and compact design. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Costa Mesa is the perfect solution for transporting your group here. Your driver can drop you off right in front of Bristol Street so you can immediately start exploring the Crates (record store), grabbing coffee, or taking photos in the art tunnel. It’s an ideal stop on a custom tour of Costa Mesa’s unique retail spots, perhaps paired with a visit to The CAMP across the street.
The LAB Anti-Mall 2930 Bristol St, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
California Scenario (The Noguchi Garden)
Hidden in plain sight among high-rise office buildings, California Scenario—commonly known as the Noguchi Garden—is one of the country's most important sculpture gardens. Designed by Isamu Noguchi, this 1.6-acre public space represents different geographical characteristics of California through stone, water, and plants. It is a serene, visually stunning location that is perfect for art history students, architectural tours, or wedding parties looking for a sophisticated photo backdrop.
Because it is located within a corporate business park, navigating a caravan of cars here can be confusing for those unfamiliar with the area. A charter bus simplifies the visit immensely. Your driver can navigate the complex surrounding Anton Boulevard and Avenue of the Arts, dropping your group off for a peaceful stroll through the garden. It is a quick but impactful stop that fits perfectly into a broader itinerary of Costa Mesa’s cultural landmarks.
California Scenario 611 Anton Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
TeWinkle Park
If you are planning a company picnic, a family reunion, or a youth sports outing, TeWinkle Park is one of Costa Mesa's finest green spaces. The park features a beautiful lake with a waterfall, baseball fields, tennis courts, and the "Angels Playground," a fully accessible play area designed for children of all abilities. It’s a wonderful spot to let loose and enjoy the Southern California sunshine.
Transporting sports teams to the fields at TeWinkle Park is a breeze with Charter Bus Costa Mesa. Our full-size charter buses come with massive undercarriage storage bays, providing ample room for baseball bags, coolers, tents, and folding chairs. Your team can travel together, build camaraderie on the ride over, and arrive focused and ready to play. For family reunions, a bus rental ensures that elderly relatives and young children alike travel in air-conditioned comfort, with plenty of room for picnic supplies.
TeWinkle Park 970 Arlington Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
The OC Mix at SoCo
For foodies and design enthusiasts, the South Coast Collection (SoCo) and The OC Mix are a premier destination. This sprawling center features showrooms for interior design alongside a critically acclaimed food hall. It’s home to Michelin-starred restaurants, artisan coffee bars, and specialty cheese shops. It is an excellent destination for corporate lunch outings, bridal showers, or culinary tours.
The venue is large, and parking can fill up quickly on weekends when the farmers' market is in full swing. By booking a private shuttle, your group can be dropped off right at the entrance to The OC Mix. You won't have to waste time circling the lot or walking from the far end of the complex. Your group can enjoy wine tastings or a heavy lunch, knowing that a driver is waiting to take everyone comfortably to the next destination or back home.
The OC Mix at SoCo 3313 Hyland Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Talbert Regional Park
For groups that want to experience the natural beauty of Costa Mesa, Talbert Regional Park offers a distinct escape from the urban environment. Spanning nearly 180 acres, the park is divided into zones that include a botanical preserve and hiking trails that lead all the way to the Santa Ana River. It is a fantastic spot for scout troops, biology classes, or active corporate teams looking for a nature walk.
Public access points can be tricky to find for first-time visitors, but your drivers know exactly where to go. A charter bus rental provides a cool, comfortable place to rest after a long hike. With onboard amenities like WiFi, your group can upload photos of their nature walk immediately, and with plenty of overhead storage, everyone can keep their hiking gear organized and out of the way. Let us handle the driving so you can focus on the trails.
Talbert Regional Park 1298 Victoria St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627

Frequently Asked Questions About Costa Mesa Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Costa Mesa?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. A local trip around Costa Mesa will cost less than a long-distance trip to San Francisco or Las Vegas. To get the most accurate price for your specific needs, call our team at 714-203-9460. We can provide a free, personalized quote in minutes based on your itinerary.
How far in advance should I book my bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and itinerary are finalized. For peak travel seasons (such as spring for school trips or summer for weddings), it is best to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best rates. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us even if your trip is coming up soon.
Is there bus parking available at the OC Fair & Event Center?
Yes, the OC Fair & Event Center has designated parking areas for buses and large vehicles. However, during the OC Fair and major concerts, these lots can be extremely busy and require a parking fee. When you rent a charter bus, your driver will handle the parking logistics. They can drop your group off near the entrance and then park the bus in the designated lot, saving your group the hassle of navigating the crowds.
What amenities are included on a charter bus?
Our charter buses come equipped with a variety of modern amenities to make your ride comfortable. Standard features on full-size motorcoaches usually include reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, and plenty of luggage storage. You can also request buses with WiFi, power outlets, PA systems, and DVD players with monitors. If you have specific needs, just let our reservation specialist know when you book!
