A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Surfing Competitions at the Huntington Beach Pier
You cannot talk about sports in Huntington Beach without starting at the water's edge. The Huntington Beach Pier is the epicenter of professional surfing in the United States. The marquee event here is undoubtedly the US Open of Surfing, held annually south of the pier. This week-long festival is one of the largest action sports festivals in the world, drawing hundreds of thousands of spectators. Watching the world's elite surfers carve up the waves is an experience like no other, but the logistics of attending with a large group can be daunting. Public parking lots fill up by the early morning hours, and street parking is virtually non-existent during competition week.
When you book a private shuttle or charter bus with Charter Bus Huntington Beach, you bypass the parking wars entirely. Your driver can drop your group off at a designated point near Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway, putting you right in the middle of the action without the stress of circling for a spot. After a long day in the sun watching the heats, your group can retreat to the climate-controlled comfort of your bus. We can transport your group to local hotels or straight to a post-event dinner at Duke's Huntington Beach (317 Pacific Coast Hwy, Huntington Beach, CA 92648) to recount the day's highlights. Whether you are a local surf club or a group of tourists taking in the culture, private transportation ensures your focus stays on the waves, not the odometer.
Beach Volleyball Tournaments on the Sand
Just adjacent to the surf breaks, the sand courts of Huntington Beach host some of the most competitive beach volleyball tournaments in the country. From AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) tour stops to CBVA (California Beach Volleyball Association) amateur events, the sand is always flying in Surf City. For teams traveling to compete, hauling gear is a major consideration. Between pop-up tents, coolers, folding chairs, balls, and personal bags, a convoy of SUVs can get cramped very quickly. This is where a charter bus rental becomes a competitive advantage.
Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate all the equipment a volleyball club needs for a weekend tournament. Your players can stretch out in reclining seats, keeping their legs fresh for the matches ahead, rather than cramping up in a backseat. We frequently service events near the Huntington Beach Pier or further north at Bolsa Chica State Beach (17851 Pacific Coast Hwy, Huntington Beach, CA 92649). With a dedicated driver, your team can arrive together, warm up together, and leave together. If you are a spectator group, a minibus rental allows you to bring your own shade and refreshments without worrying about hauling them halfway down the beach from a remote parking structure.
Catching Angels Baseball in Anaheim
While Huntington Beach offers plenty of outdoor action, it also serves as the perfect launchpad for professional sports in the greater Orange County area. Just a short drive inland lies Angel Stadium of Anaheim (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806), home to Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Angels. Baseball is America's pastime, and tailgating is an essential part of that tradition. However, coordinating a tailgate for 20, 30, or 50 people involving multiple cars is a logistical headache. Traffic on the 57 and 22 freeways can also be unpredictable, leading to fragmented groups and missed innings.
With Charter Bus Huntington Beach, your group travels as a single unit. Our buses are perfect for fan clubs and corporate outings heading to "The Big A." You can load your grills, coolers, and cornhole sets into the storage bays, and enjoy the ride to Anaheim with onboard amenities like WiFi and power outlets. Once you arrive, your bus serves as the ultimate tailgate headquarters. Perhaps most importantly, booking a charter bus means you have a built-in designated driver. Your group can enjoy hot dogs and cold beverages responsibly, knowing that a driver will handle the navigation and traffic comfortably back to Huntington Beach after the final out.
Hockey Nights at the Honda Center
If you prefer your sports on ice, the Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806), located just across the freeway from Angel Stadium, is the home of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks. Hockey fans are some of the most passionate in sports, and group outings to the Honda Center are a fantastic way to build camaraderie, whether for a bachelor party, a company team-building event, or a family reunion. The energy inside the arena is electric, but the post-game exodus can be exhausting if you are fighting gridlock in the parking lot.
Charter Bus Huntington Beach streamlines the experience. We can arrange a pickup from your office or a central location in Huntington Beach and shuttle your group directly to the Honda Center's designated bus drop-off zones. During the ride, you can use the onboard PA system to run trivia contests or play hype videos on the flat-screen TVs to get everyone in the spirit. We specialize in handling large groups, so if you are organizing a trip for a youth hockey league to watch the pros play, our fleet can accommodate multiple teams with ease. We make sure the only thing you have to worry about is cheering loud enough to be heard on the ice.
The Great Pacific Airshow and Special Events
While technically an aviation event, the Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach draws crowds and adrenaline levels that rival the Super Bowl. Every autumn, millions of spectators flock to the sandy beaches to watch the Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, and civilian aerobatic teams tear through the sky. It is a spectacle of speed and precision, but it creates one of the most intense traffic situations of the year in Huntington Beach. Streets are closed, parking is sold out months in advance, and rideshare surge pricing can be astronomical.
For large groups attending the Airshow, a charter bus rental is practically a necessity. Charter Bus Huntington Beach can secure the necessary permits to get your group close to the viewing areas. We allow you to avoid the stress of finding parking miles away and walking in the heat. Our air-conditioned buses provide a sanctuary before and after the show. We also service other major local events like the Surf City Marathon, where we can shuttle runners from local hotels to the starting line and pick them up at the finish line festival. Regardless of the event size, our operations team is skilled at navigating road closures and high-traffic zones to keep your itinerary on track.
Youth Sports Tournaments at the Huntington Beach Sports Complex
Huntington Beach isn't just for the pros; it is a massive hub for youth sports. The Huntington Beach Sports Complex (18100 Goldenwest St, Huntington Beach, CA 92647) is a premier facility featuring eight softball fields, seven soccer fields, and playground areas. Every weekend, teams from across California and neighboring states descend on this complex for tournaments. For traveling teams and their parents, organizing a convoy of minivans is inefficient and stressful. Getting lost, running out of gas, or arriving late for warm-ups can throw off the team's focus.
Charter Bus Huntington Beach provides a winning solution for youth sports travel. By renting a charter bus, the entire team can travel together, building chemistry and focus before they even step on the field. Coaches can use the travel time to review plays or give pep talks. Parents can relax and socialize without the stress of driving. Our buses offer plenty of storage for bulky equipment bags, folding benches, and snack tents. Plus, with onboard restrooms available on our full-size coaches, you can minimize unscheduled stops and ensure you arrive at the complex with plenty of time to spare.
Day Trips to Los Angeles for Major League Action
One of the benefits of staying in Huntington Beach is its proximity to the massive sports landscape of Los Angeles. Whether you want to see the Lakers or Kings at Crypto.com Arena (111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015), the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium (1000 Vin Scully Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012), or the Rams and Chargers at the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301), you are within striking distance. However, the drive from Orange County to LA is notorious for traffic congestion.
Let Charter Bus Huntington Beach turn that stressful commute into a luxurious experience. Instead of fighting bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 405, your group can relax in a high-end motorcoach. Connect to the onboard WiFi, recline your seat, and let a driver handle the Los Angeles freeways. We can plan a full itinerary that includes a pre-game meal at L.A. Live or a sightseeing stop before heading to the venue. Returning to Huntington Beach after a late night game is comfortable, ensuring everyone gets home rested. We service the entire region, so no stadium is out of reach.

Absolutely! We know that food and drinks are a huge part of the sports fan experience. You are welcome to bring food and beverages on board most of our buses. We just ask that you avoid glass containers for safety reasons and keep the bus tidy to avoid cleaning fees.
Is there enough room for surfboards and sports equipment?
Yes, space is one of the biggest advantages of renting a charter bus. Our full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays. These compartments are large enough to hold surfboards, volleyball nets, soccer goals, hockey bags, and large coolers. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. When you call 714-203-9460 to book, simply mention the type of equipment you are bringing, and we will ensure you are matched with a bus that has the appropriate storage capacity.
How far in advance should we book for major events like the US Open of Surfing?
The US Open of Surfing and the Pacific Airshow are massive events that draw visitors from all over the world. Consequently, demand for group transportation is extremely high during these weeks. We strongly recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your dates are confirmed—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. Booking early not only guarantees vehicle availability but also helps you lock in the best possible rates before demand drives prices up. However, if you have a last-minute need, give us a call! We will do everything we can to accommodate your group.
Do you provide transportation to stadiums outside of Orange County?
Yes, we do! While we are locally based in Huntington Beach, our service area covers the entire Southern California region and beyond. We regularly transport groups to Los Angeles for Dodgers, Lakers, and Rams games, as well as to San Diego for Padres games at Petco Park. Whether you are heading to iconic venues like the Rose Bowl in Pasadena or the Coliseum near USC, Charter Bus Huntington Beach has the permits and experience to get you there comfortably.
What happens if our game goes into overtime?
We understand that sports are unpredictable and that games can run long due to overtime, extra innings, or weather delays. When you book with Charter Bus Huntington Beach, your itinerary serves as a guideline, but we know flexibility is key. Your driver will stay in communication with your group leader. While strict overages may incur additional hourly fees depending on the driver's legal hours of service regulations, we will never leave your group stranded. We are committed to getting you home comfortably after the final whistle blows.
