A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Crown Jewel: The Rose Bowl Stadium
No discussion of sports in Pasadena can begin without the Rose Bowl Stadium (1001 Rose Bowl Dr, Pasadena, CA 91103). As a National Historic Landmark and one of the most famous venues in sporting history, it is a bucket-list destination for college football fans across the nation. Home to the UCLA Bruins football team and the annual Rose Bowl Game, this stadium holds over 90,000 screaming fans. However, anyone who has attended a major event here knows the logistical challenges: parking is often situated on the Brookside Golf Course, requiring long walks, and traffic bottlenecks in the Arroyo Seco can be daunting.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Pasadena, you eliminate the stress of game-day logistics. Instead of coordinating a caravan of ten different cars or fighting for expensive parking spots, your entire group travels together. We can drop your group off closer to the entrance gates than general parking allows, ensuring you have plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere. For UCLA Bruins home games, our buses serve as the perfect mobile tailgate headquarters. With ample undercarriage storage for coolers, grills, and tents, you can set up your pre-game festivities with ease. Once the game ends, you have a safe, climate-controlled ride waiting to take you home or to Old Pasadena for a victory celebration. Whether it is the Rose Bowl Game on New Year's Day or a rivalry matchup against USC, a private motorcoach is the MVP of your experience.
Beyond Football: The Tournament of Roses Experience
While the game itself is the main event, the Tournament of Roses is a city-wide celebration that requires precise planning. If your group is coming to town for the festivities, you likely want to see the Rose Parade on Colorado Boulevard before heading to the game. Navigating Pasadena on January 1st is notoriously difficult due to road closures and hundreds of thousands of visitors. This is where Charter Bus Rental Company Pasadena becomes an invaluable partner.
We have extensive experience navigating the unique traffic patterns of the Tournament of Roses. We can arrange drop-offs near your reserved grandstand seats along Colorado Blvd early in the morning and then transport your group to the stadium for the afternoon kickoff. For marching bands and float decorating teams visiting from out of state, we provide dedicated shuttle services throughout the week, moving participants between hotels, float barns, and rehearsal sites. Our fleet ranges from 18-passenger minibuses for small alumni groups to 56-passenger full-sized coaches for large bands or fan clubs. Don't leave your bucket-list trip to chance; let your drivers handle the heavy lifting while you enjoy the pageantry of the Roses.
Pro Sports Access: Gateway to Dodger Stadium and Crypto.com Arena
One of the greatest advantages of staying in Pasadena is its strategic location. You are just a short drive down the Arroyo Seco Parkway (CA-110) from the heart of Los Angeles professional sports. Many fans choose to stay in Pasadena hotels—like the Langham Huntington or the Westin Pasadena—to enjoy a quieter, safer atmosphere while still having easy access to the big leagues. Charter Bus Rental Company Pasadena frequently transports groups from Pasadena to Dodger Stadium (1000 Vin Scully Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012) for Major League Baseball action.
Dodger Stadium sits atop Chavez Ravine, and while the views are spectacular, the traffic entering the stadium gates is legendary for the wrong reasons. By renting a charter bus, your group can bypass the stress of navigating the parking lot mazes. We can arrange for your bus to park in the designated oversize vehicle lots, making your entry and exit seamless. Furthermore, if you are a basketball or hockey fan, we offer direct routes to the Crypto.com Arena (1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) to see the Lakers, Kings, or Sparks. Forget about paying exorbitant downtown LA parking rates or splitting up into expensive rideshares. A private shuttle bus keeps your group together, allowing the banter and excitement to build from the moment you leave Pasadena until the final buzzer sounds.
A Day at the Races: Santa Anita Park
Just a stone's throw east of Pasadena lies one of the most beautiful thoroughbred racetracks in the world: Santa Anita Park (285 W Huntington Dr, Arcadia, CA 91007). Known for its Art Deco architecture and the stunning backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Anita offers a sophisticated sporting experience that is perfect for corporate outings, social clubs, or family reunions. Whether you are attending the Santa Anita Derby or just a regular race day, arriving in a charter bus adds an element of luxury to the occasion.
Charter Bus Rental Company Pasadena offers premium transportation options perfect for a "Day at the Races." Our sprinter vans and minibuses are ideal for smaller groups looking to travel in style. You can enjoy the scenic drive along Huntington Drive without worrying about navigating traffic. Once there, your group can enjoy the infield picnic area or the clubhouse knowing that a driver is waiting to take everyone home safely. This is particularly valuable for groups enjoying the craft beers and signature cocktails often featured at the track. We prioritize safety above all else, ensuring that your day of betting and cheering ends on a high note with a reliable ride back to Pasadena.
Supporting Local Athletics: High School and Collegiate Travel
Pasadena is home to a vibrant community of student-athletes, from the prestigious California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to Pasadena City College (PCC) and numerous competitive high schools. Charter Bus Rental Company Pasadena is a proud supporter of local youth and collegiate sports. We provide safe, reliable transportation for teams traveling to away games, tournaments, and training camps. We understand that student-athletes need space to stretch out and focus before a competition.
Our 56-passenger charter buses are designed with team travel in mind. With massive undercarriage luggage bays, there is ample room for football pads, lacrosse sticks, baseball bags, and hydration equipment. Inside the cabin, players can utilize reclining seats to rest, or use the onboard WiFi and power outlets to catch up on homework while on the road. For Caltech Beavers (1200 E California Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91125) or PCC Lancers (1570 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106) traveling for conference play, we offer a consistent, high-quality travel experience that coaches and athletic directors can rely on. We also handle transportation for visiting teams coming to compete in Pasadena, offering airport transfers from LAX or Burbank Airport directly to local hotels and venues.
Golfing in the City of Roses
For those who prefer to participate in the sport rather than watch, Pasadena offers exceptional golfing opportunities, most notably at the Brookside Golf Club (1133 Rosemont Ave, Pasadena, CA 91103). Located directly adjacent to the Rose Bowl Stadium, Brookside features two 18-hole courses designed by the legendary William P. Bell. It is a fantastic destination for corporate tournaments, charity fundraisers, or a large group outing of golf enthusiasts. However, transporting golf clubs and gear for a large group can be a logistical headache if everyone drives separately.
A minibus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Pasadena solves the equipment dilemma instantly. Our buses offer plenty of storage space to ensure that every set of clubs is transported safely and securely without cramping the passengers. After a long day on the links, your group can relax in the air-conditioned comfort of the bus, perhaps heading to a post-round dinner at a steakhouse in Old Pasadena like Alexander’s Steakhouse or Arroyo Chop House. We can create a custom itinerary that covers your tee times, lunch, dinner, and return trip, allowing you to focus entirely on your swing.
Tailgating and Game Day Logistics
The tailgate is an essential part of American sports culture, and nowhere is that more evident than on the grassy lawns surrounding the Rose Bowl. However, organizing a tailgate for a large group requires hauling coolers, tables, chairs, tents, and food. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Pasadena, you gain a massive logistical advantage. The storage bays under our full-sized coaches are cavernous, allowing you to bring everything you need for the ultimate pre-game party.
Beyond storage, the bus itself serves as a hub for your group. If the California sun gets too intense, guests can hop onto the bus to cool off in the A/C. If you need to charge phones to take photos of the game, the onboard power outlets are a lifesaver. Some of our buses even feature PA systems, perfect for making announcements to your group about meetup times or game predictions. We handle the parking and the driving, which means your group can enjoy adult beverages responsibly during the tailgate. Your drivers are familiar with the specific parking zones for oversized vehicles at venues like the Rose Bowl, Dodger Stadium, and SoFi Stadium, ensuring a smooth entry and exit from the game day chaos.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pasadena Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for sports equipment?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses feature expansive undercarriage storage bays that are perfect for sports teams and fan groups. These compartments can easily accommodate large items such as football pads, hockey bags, baseball equipment, golf clubs, coolers, and tailgating tents. For smaller groups, our minibuses also offer storage solutions, though capacity varies by model. When you call to book, let our reservation specialist know exactly what kind of gear you are bringing so we can provide you with the perfect bus for your needs.
Do we need to pay for the bus driver's parking at the stadium?
Yes, the cost of parking the bus at the venue is the responsibility of the renting group. Parking fees for charter buses vary significantly depending on the venue. For example, the Rose Bowl, Dodger Stadium, and SoFi Stadium all have specific lots and pricing for commercial buses. We recommend researching the specific parking policies of the venue you are attending and purchasing a bus parking pass in advance if possible to ensure a smooth arrival.
How far in advance should we book a bus for the Rose Bowl Game?
For major events like the Rose Bowl Game or the Tournament of Roses Parade, demand for charter buses is incredibly high. We strongly recommend booking your transportation at least 6 to 9 months in advance. Booking early not only guarantees that you will have a vehicle reserved but also helps you lock in the best possible rate. If you are planning a trip for a regular-season game or a smaller event, booking 3 to 6 months in advance is generally sufficient.
Can you transport our group to away games outside of Pasadena?
Absolutely! Charter Bus Rental Company Pasadena offers long-distance charter services throughout California and neighboring states. Whether your team is playing a tournament in San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, or Phoenix, we can take you there. Our charter buses are equipped for long-haul travel with amenities like reclining seats, restrooms, and entertainment systems to keep athletes comfortable and rested during the journey. We can build a custom itinerary that covers your entire season's travel needs.
