Every quote is built around your specific needs. The number of passengers determines the size of the vehicle, while your starting location and destinations determine mileage and tolls. Longer trips with multiple days will generally cost more than short, local shuttles. Time of year matters too—spring, summer, and holidays are peak demand, so rates are higher. Lastly, luxury amenities like WiFi or leather seats may affect pricing. When talking to your reservation specialist, be as detailed as possible about your itinerary and requests. They’ll find you the most efficient option and never tack on hidden fees.
Charter Bus Rental La Mirada offers access to the largest selection of buses in California. Our fleet includes full-size motorcoaches, compact minibuses, sprinter vans, and even party buses for special occasions. Each type comes with its own set of benefits and available amenities. Here’s a quick overview of the most popular vehicles we offer:
The 56-passenger charter bus is the king of group transportation. It seats up to 56 adults or 50 kids, making it ideal for big events, cross-state journeys, or teams traveling with lots of gear. Amenities often include reclining seats, climate control, power outlets, WiFi, overhead storage, undercarriage luggage bays, PA systems, and onboard restrooms. If you need to shuttle hundreds of guests, we can send multiple coaches running continuous loops between hotels, airports, and venues. These buses are designed for comfort on long highway stretches and are a favorite for corporate conventions, school field trips, and sports tournaments.
Minibuses come in sizes ranging from 18 to 35 passengers. They offer much of the same comfort as a full-size coach but in a smaller, more nimble package. Minibuses are perfect for navigating tight city streets, quick airport transfers, or day trips around Los Angeles and Orange County. You’ll find features like cushioned seats, air conditioning, reading lights, and sometimes WiFi or monitors. There’s enough space for carry-on bags in overhead racks, with larger models offering a rear luggage compartment. For recurring employee shuttles, wedding transportation, or off-site meetings, minibuses keep your group together and on schedule without the excess capacity of a larger coach.
If you’re moving fewer than 15 people, a sprinter van is the way to go. These luxury vehicles are favored by executives, artists, and families seeking privacy and premium amenities. Inside, you might find leather captain’s chairs, hardwood floors, tinted windows, WiFi, TV screens, and a mini-fridge. Sprinters are great for point-to-point service, such as airport pickups at LAX or John Wayne, winery tours in Temecula, or private sightseeing trips. They fit easily into hotel driveways and parking garages, allowing for discreet arrivals and departures. While pricier per seat than larger buses, sprinter vans deliver a first-class travel experience for your most important guests.
We’ve streamlined the entire rental process to save you time and hassle. Here’s how easy it is to secure group transportation with Charter Bus Rental La Mirada:
Start by outlining your trip details. Where is your group being picked up and dropped off? What are the dates and times? How many people are traveling, and do you have any accessibility needs (such as a wheelchair lift)? Will you need the bus for one-way, round-trip, or multi-day service? Make note of any special stops or requests, like restaurant reservations, museum visits, or equipment transport. The more information you provide, the more accurate your quote will be.
Contact our team at 657-325-9040 or fill out our online form to get started. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7 to answer your questions and walk you through available options. After reviewing your itinerary, they’ll select the best vehicle(s) for your group and budget, then send you a personalized quote in about 30 seconds. Quotes are all-inclusive, covering the bus, fuel, tolls, and standard amenities. There are no surprise charges—what you see is what you pay!
If you’re happy with your quote, simply pay a small deposit to reserve your bus. The remaining balance is due closer to your departure date. You’ll receive a confirmation email with all the trip details and contact info. From there, you can sit back and let us handle the planning! We’ll coordinate arrival times, parking permits, and any itinerary changes leading up to your event. On the day of service, your bus will arrive early, ready to load passengers and depart on schedule. It’s door-to-door convenience at its finest.
Charter buses are used for far more than just school field trips. They’re an essential tool for organizing safe, efficient, and comfortable transportation across dozens of industries and occasions. Here are some of the most common ways groups rely on our services:
La Mirada sits at the crossroads of several major business hubs, including Cerritos, Norwalk, Whittier, and Santa Fe Springs. Corporations use charter buses to simplify commuting for employees, especially those working in industrial parks or office campuses near I-5 and the 91 Freeway. Daily shuttles reduce traffic congestion, cut parking costs, and ensure everyone arrives on time and stress-free. For conferences and trade shows, we can run continuous loops between hotels and venues like the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts. Onboard WiFi and power outlets turn travel time into productive time. Impress clients and reward staff with chartered transportation that reflects your company’s professionalism.
Getting married at the La Mirada Golf Course, Heritage Park, or a church downtown? Keep your wedding party and guests on schedule with a private shuttle. Charter buses eliminate the risk of late arrivals, lost drivers, or unsafe rides after the reception. We’ll create a custom route connecting hotels, ceremony sites, photo locations, and banquet halls. For large guest lists, run multiple buses in a loop so nobody waits long for a ride. Decorate the bus with flowers or signs, play your favorite playlist over the speakers, and toast to love with champagne onboard. Your guests will appreciate the VIP treatment and you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing everyone is taken care of.
La Mirada is home to several schools and Biola University, all of which trust Charter Bus Rental La Mirada for safe student transportation. Whether it’s a field trip to the La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center, a band competition at a neighboring high school, or a campus tour for prospective students, our buses keep young travelers together under adult supervision. Full-size coaches have seat belts, GPS tracking, and plenty of room for backpacks, coolers, or musical instruments. Teachers and chaperones can relax knowing students are accounted for and focused on learning. We also provide recurring shuttles for college events, Greek life formals, and athletic team travel.
Local sports teams and fan clubs regularly book charter buses to reach games and tournaments across Southern California. High school athletes depend on our spacious luggage bays to haul uniforms, water coolers, and training equipment to away matches. Coaches can review plays or strategies with the whole squad en route. For pro sports fans, we organize tailgating trips to Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, SoFi Stadium, and Crypto.com Arena. Avoid the headache of traffic jams and expensive parking—your group can relax, snack, and hype each other up until drop-off right at the entrance. After the game, celebrate a win or commiserate a loss safely on the ride home.
