pasadena airport transportation Timely Airport Transportation for Pasadena Groups
Thousandoakscharterbuscompany.com is the easy way to find airport transportation for your group in Pasadena!

Getting your whole group to or from any of them in separate cars means separate parking bills, separate traffic headaches, and the very real chance that someone misses the flight.

Charter buses at Rose Bowl Stadium use designated motorcoach parking in Lot K off Rosemont Avenue and Lot I, depending on the event. Oversized vehicle permits are required and must be purchased in advance through Rose Bowl Operations — day-of parking is not guaranteed. Drop-off is typically at Gate A off Rosemont Avenue or Gate H off West Drive, but assignments shift by event type.
Confirm your specific assignment with Rose Bowl Operations before game day, and check the Rose Bowl Stadium website for current details. Rosemont Avenue, Holly Street, and West Drive close 2–3 hours before major events, so plan your arrival time accordingly.
Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is the closest airport to Pasadena at about 11 miles northwest via I-210 W and CA-134 W — roughly 20 to 35 minutes off-peak. During morning rush hour (7–9am), that same drive can take 45 to 70 minutes. LAX is about 30 miles southwest and takes 45 to 75 minutes off-peak, often 90 minutes or more during peak hours.
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is about 35 miles east on I-10 and takes 35 to 55 minutes off-peak. For any of the three, build in a 30-minute buffer on top of the drive time for group boarding and terminal walking — and always gather your entire group before calling the bus to the curb.
Book six months or more in advance for the Rose Bowl Game on January 1, the Rose Parade, and prom season across Pasadena Unified, Arcadia, San Marino, and Temple City school districts in April and May. For UCLA football Saturdays, book three to four months out. For most other events — corporate shuttles, weddings, private parties — two to three months of lead time gives you the best selection and pricing.
Waiting until the last minute on any of Pasadena's peak dates means higher prices and limited availability.
Yes! Long-distance charter buses are available through the network for trips from Pasadena to destinations across California and beyond. A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach for a long-distance run typically comes with reclining seats, climate control, onboard WiFi, power outlets, an onboard restroom, and large undercarriage luggage bays — everything your group needs to travel comfortably over a long distance.
Multi-day packages are available too. Enter your trip details in the online quote tool or call 805-852-0120 and a live agent will put together a custom long-distance package for your group.
The Tournament of Roses Parade takes place on January 1 each year along Colorado Blvd from Orange Grove Blvd to Sierra Madre Blvd in Pasadena. On parade day, Colorado Blvd is completely closed to vehicle traffic from before dawn through the early afternoon. Charter buses serving Pasadena on January 1 must use alternate routing on Green Street and California Blvd. The Rose Bowl Game follows the parade the same day, creating an enormous demand on all transportation in the area.
If your group is attending either event, book your bus six months or more in advance — this is the single highest-demand day of the year for Pasadena bus rentals.
Yes. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network of transportation companies serving Pasadena. These vehicles typically include features like wheelchair lifts or ramps, wider aisle space, and accessible restroom facilities.
When you submit your quote request, mention your accessibility requirements — including the number of wheelchair users in your group — and the results will reflect what's available. You can also call 805-852-0120 and a live agent will help you find the right accessible vehicle for your trip.
For most trips in Pasadena, booking two to three months in advance is a solid starting point. But Pasadena has several dates that demand much earlier action. Book six months or more ahead for the Rose Bowl Game, the Rose Parade, and prom season in April and May.
Book three to four months out for UCLA home football Saturdays. The earlier you book, the better your vehicle selection and the better your pricing — waiting until the last minute on any of these peak dates costs more and risks no availability at all. Call 805-852-0120 right now to lock in your date!

It hosts UCLA Bruins football, the annual Rose Bowl Game on January 1, and major stadium concerts. Charter buses use designated motorcoach parking in Lot K off Rosemont Avenue — permits must be purchased in advance through Rose Bowl Operations, as day-of parking is not available.
Drop-off is at Gate A off Rosemont Avenue or Gate H off West Drive depending on the event; confirm your assignment before game day. Rosemont Avenue, Holly Street, and West Drive close two to three hours before major events. Confirm current details on the Rose Bowl Stadium website before your visit.

The Huntington Library, Art Museum & Botanical Gardens
The Huntington (1151 Oxford Rd, San Marino, CA 91108) is one of the most extraordinary cultural destinations in Southern California — a 207-acre estate combining a world-class art collection, rare book library, and 15 specialized botanical gardens including a celebrated Japanese garden, a desert garden, and a camellia forest. The collection includes Gainsborough's famous "Blue Boy." Charter buses enter from Allen Ave and drop groups at the designated coach drop-off area on Oxford Road at the main entrance.
Buses then park in the designated bus area in the north parking lot off Allen Ave — advance coordination is required; contact Group Sales at (626) 405-2100. Groups of 15 or more must book in advance. Confirm current bus logistics on the Huntington group visits page.
Address: 1151 Oxford Rd, San Marino, CA 91108 Phone: (626) 405-2100
Norton Simon Museum
Norton Simon Museum (411 W Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91105) is one of the finest art museums in the United States, housing an extraordinary collection of European paintings and sculpture from the Renaissance through the 20th century — Rembrandt, Degas, Picasso, Raphael, and Goya among them — alongside a significant collection of South and Southeast Asian art. The museum sits right on Colorado Blvd in the heart of Pasadena. Charter buses drop off on the West Colorado Blvd curbside in front of the museum for active loading and unloading only — buses cannot park on Colorado Blvd. After drop-off, buses stage at the Pasadena Convention Center parking structure about half a mile east, or along Garfield Ave. Group reservations are available through the museum.
Museum hours vary by day; confirm on the Norton Simon plan your visit page.
Address: 411 W Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91105.
Old Pasadena (Old Town Pasadena)
Old Pasadena is Pasadena's historic downtown district — a walkable grid of beautifully restored 1920s and 1930s commercial buildings along Colorado Blvd between Arroyo Pkwy and Pasadena Ave, packed with 200+ restaurants, bars, boutiques, and entertainment venues. It's one of the most popular destinations in the San Gabriel Valley for bar crawls, bachelorette parties, birthday dinners, and corporate outings. Charter buses use the green and white curb zones on Colorado Blvd between Fair Oaks Ave and Arroyo Pkwy for active loading and unloading — a 5-minute limit is enforced.
After drop-off, buses stage at the Pasadena Central Park parking structure (155 Corson St, Pasadena, CA 91103) or along Corson St and Pasadena Ave. On January 1, Colorado Blvd closes entirely for the Rose Parade; buses use Green St and California Blvd as alternates. Explore the district at oldpasadena.org.
Area: Colorado Blvd between Arroyo Pkwy and Pasadena Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is one of the most remarkable science destinations in the world — the facility that manages NASA's robotic space exploration missions including the Mars rovers, Voyager probes, and the James Webb Space Telescope ground operations. Public tours are available but require advance reservation through JPL's tour program; same-day walk-ins are not permitted. Charter buses drop off at the main gate on Oak Grove Drive and park in the designated visitor lot on site.
This is a top destination for school field trips, science groups, and corporate visits. Because tour slots fill quickly, especially for school groups, advance coordination is essential. Confirm your tour reservation and bus logistics through the JPL public tours page.
Address: 4800 Oak Grove Dr, Pasadena, CA 91109
Pasadena Convention Center
Pasadena Convention Center is the San Gabriel Valley's premier event venue — 55,000 square feet of flexible exhibit and meeting space that hosts trade shows, conferences, conventions, and public events year-round. It shares a campus with the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, which seats 3,038 and hosts concerts, Broadway touring productions, and the Emmy Awards. Charter buses drop off at the Green Street entrance loading zone on the north side of the building — active loading only, buses must relocate after drop-off.
Bus and oversized-vehicle parking is available at the Convention Center's Euclid Avenue parking structure (175 S Euclid Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101); vehicles over 18 feet are charged double the standard daily rate of $18–$25, and parking runs first come, first served. Call the Convention Center at (626) 793-2122 for event-specific guidance. Confirm current parking details on the Convention Center's directions and parking page.
