A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood
For any group visiting Burbank, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood (3400 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91505) is an absolute non-negotiable stop. This isn't just a theme park; it is a working studio where your group can get a behind-the-scenes look at where movies like La La Land and shows like Friends and The Big Bang Theory were filmed. Groups can explore the backlots, see the Batmobiles in the Picture Car Vault, and even sit on the Central Perk couch. However, parking at the Tour Center can be expensive and logistically difficult for large caravans.
When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Burbank, we streamline your arrival. Your driver can drop your group off right at the Tour Center entrance on Riverside Drive, saving you the hassle of navigating the parking structures. While your group enjoys the 2-3 hour guided tour and the self-guided Stage 48 script-to-screen experience, your bus will be parked securely nearby. After the tour, your group will likely have bags of merchandise from the studio store. Instead of cramping them into the backseat of a rideshare, your passengers can utilize the overhead storage bins and climate-controlled cabin of your private bus to relax and review their photos as you head to your next destination.
Universal Studios Hollywood
Located just on the border of Burbank and Universal City, Universal Studios Hollywood (100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608) is one of the premier destinations in Southern California. From the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the world-famous Studio Tour, this park attracts millions of visitors annually. For school groups, youth organizations, and corporate outings, coordinating travel here can be a nightmare due to the sheer volume of traffic and the complex parking garages like the Frankenstein and Jurassic Parking structures.
Charter Bus Burbank removes the headache of Universal City traffic. We provide direct transportation to the designated bus drop-off zone, which is much closer to the park entrance than general parking. This means your group spends less time walking through concrete garages and more time enjoying the rides. If your group plans to stay until the park closes, you won't have to worry about tired legs driving home in the dark. Your driver will be waiting at the scheduled pick-up time to whisk you away. Our buses come equipped with reclining seats and powerful air conditioning—a lifesaver after a long, hot day at the theme park. You can even request a bus with DVD players to watch Universal classics on the way to the park to get everyone hyped up!
Downtown Burbank & San Fernando Blvd
If your group is looking for a place to dine, shop, and relax, Downtown Burbank is the place to be. Centered around San Fernando Boulevard (stretching from Magnolia Blvd to Angeleno Ave), this pedestrian-friendly zone is packed with restaurants, shops, and the massive AMC Burbank 16 (125 E Palm Ave, Burbank, CA 91502), one of the highest-grossing movie theaters in the country. It is a fantastic spot for corporate lunch outings or evening dinners for wedding parties.
Parking in Downtown Burbank can be tricky, especially on weekends when the garages fill up fast. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Burbank is the perfect solution. Your driver can drop your group off right near the iconic jagged facade of the AMC theater or near the Burbank Town Center. While your group enjoys a meal at Granville or a comedy show, your bus waits nearby. This is especially useful for nightlife outings; with a driver, everyone in your group can enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine without worrying about designating a driver. We ensure your group stays together and gets back to your hotel or home safely.
Starlight Bowl
For a quintessential summer experience in Burbank, you cannot beat the Starlight Bowl (1249 Lockheed View Dr, Burbank, CA 91501). Nestled in the Verdugo Mountains, this outdoor amphitheater hosts amazing concerts, 4th of July celebrations, and community events with stunning views of the city lights below. However, the venue is located up a steep hill, and parking is extremely limited and stacked, often requiring a shuttle from a lower lot if you drive yourself.
Skip the shuttle lines and the parking stress by booking a private charter bus. Charter Bus Burbank can transport your group directly to the venue entrance for drop-off (subject to event-specific traffic rules). This is particularly beneficial for senior groups or multi-generational family reunions where accessibility is a priority. Your group can bring picnic baskets, blankets, and coolers stored in the bus's undercarriage luggage bays. After the concert, you avoid the long line of cars trying to exit the mountain roads. Your driver handles the navigation while you recap the show in the comfort of your private motorcoach.
Magnolia Park
For a unique shopping experience that you won't find at a typical mall, take your group to Magnolia Park. This trendy neighborhood, stretching along Magnolia Boulevard, is famous for its vintage clothing stores, oddities shops, and the famous Porto's Bakery & Cafe (3614 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505). It’s a haven for hipsters, collectors, and foodies.
A charter bus is the ideal way to explore this linear district. Instead of parking, walking a few blocks, moving the car, and parking again, your Charter Bus Burbank driver can act as a hop-on, hop-off service for your private group. We can drop you off at the unique bearded Lady's Mystic Museum, wait while you shop, and then pick you up to take you down the street for pastries at Porto's. Because Magnolia Park is a popular street, parking is mostly metered or residential. A minibus rental eliminates the constant search for quarters and open spots, allowing your group to maximize their shopping time.
Griffith Park & The Autry Museum
While technically just across the border from Burbank, Griffith Park is an essential stop for any group staying in the area. It is home to the Autry Museum of the American West (4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027) and the Los Angeles Zoo. For school field trips and educational tours, this area is a goldmine of history and culture.
Charter Bus Burbank specializes in school field trip transportation that is safer and more comfortable than the traditional yellow school bus. Our buses feature seatbelts, climate control, and onboard restrooms, making the trip pleasant for students and chaperones alike. We can drop your group off right at the front steps of the Autry Museum for your reserved tour. If you are planning a full day, we can shuttle your group from the museum to the nearby train museum or a picnic area in Crystal Springs. With a charter bus, you have the flexibility to create a custom itinerary that fits your curriculum or group interests without being tied to public transit schedules.
DeBell Golf Club
Nestled in the canyons above Burbank, DeBell Golf Club (1500 E Walnut Ave, Burbank, CA 91501) offers a stunning 18-hole course that is perfect for corporate tournaments, bachelor parties, and leisurely group outings. The course is known for its narrow fairways and beautiful scenery, often spotting deer on the greens.
Transporting golf clubs and gear for a large group can be a logistical challenge in standard vehicles. A 56-passenger motorcoach from Charter Bus Burbank offers massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for safely stowing golf bags, carts, and coolers. Your group can travel together, perhaps enjoying a light breakfast or reviewing the scorecard strategy on the way up the hill. After a day on the links and drinks at the Canyon Grille, your private shuttle ensures everyone gets home safely. We cater to corporate clients looking to impress; ask about our executive minibus options with leather seating and power outlets for a VIP experience.
Flappers Comedy Club
If your group is looking for laughs, Flappers Comedy Club and Restaurant (102 E Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91502) in Downtown Burbank is a legendary spot. Hosting both big-name headliners and up-and-coming talent, it's a great venue for birthday parties, bachelorette parties, and corporate team-building events. They often serve dinner and drinks during the show, making it a one-stop-shop for entertainment.
Coordinating arrival times for a dinner and a show can be difficult with a large group. If some people arrive late, they might miss the opening set or lose their reserved seating. With a bus rental from Charter Bus Burbank, your entire party arrives simultaneously. We can pick you up from your office, hotel, or home, drop you right at the corner of Magnolia and First, and pick you up the moment the show ends. No need to validate parking tickets or navigate downtown one-way streets. Just sit back, laugh, and enjoy the ride.
