A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood
No trip to Burbank is complete without visiting one of the most iconic film studios in history. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood offers an immersive look behind the lens of movie-making magic. Located at 3400 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91505, this attraction brings you up close to the sets of Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and the DC Universe. Your group can explore the backlots where classic movies were filmed, see real Batmobiles, and even sit on the famous Central Perk couch.
Traveling here with a large group can be tricky regarding parking, as the parking structures can fill up quickly and walking from the lot to the tour center can be time-consuming for large parties. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Burbank, your driver can drop your group off right at the designated tour entrance. While you are exploring the Wizarding World props or the script-to-screen exhibits, your bus will be waiting nearby, ready to pick you up the moment your tour concludes. This is particularly helpful for school groups or corporate team-building outings where keeping everyone on a tight schedule is priority number one.
Universal Studios Hollywood
Just a stone's throw from the Burbank border lies the entertainment powerhouse, Universal Studios Hollywood. Located at 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608, this theme park and working studio offers a full day of excitement, from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the world-famous Studio Tour. It is a top destination for graduation trips, family reunions, and youth groups. However, anyone who has visited knows that the parking situation—and the tram ride from the parking structures to the front gate—can take upwards of 45 minutes on a busy day.
Skip the hassle entirely with a private charter bus rental. Charter Bus Burbank can arrange for a seamless drop-off at the designated group entrance, saving your group time and energy. Instead of navigating the confusing lanes of Universal CityWalk or paying exorbitant parking fees for multiple cars, your entire group can ride together in a climate-controlled motorcoach. You can use the onboard PA system to distribute tickets, do a headcount, and build excitement before you even step off the bus. After a long day of walking the park, nothing beats sinking into a reclining seat in an air-conditioned bus for the ride home.
Griffith Park & The Hollywood Sign
For the best views of Burbank and the Los Angeles basin, your group needs to head to Griffith Park. As one of the largest urban parks in North America, it offers hiking trails, the Greek Theatre, and the iconic Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027). It is also the prime spot for viewing the Hollywood Sign. Whether you are planning a company picnic, a hiking club excursion, or a sightseeing tour, Griffith Park is a must-visit.
However, traffic leading up to the Observatory on Vermont Avenue or Fern Dell Drive can be gridlocked, especially on weekends, and parking at the top is extremely limited and pricey. A minibus or charter bus rental is the smartest way to access the park. Your driver can navigate the winding roads while your group takes in the views through panoramic windows. We can drop you off at designated areas near the Observatory or the trailheads, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without the stress of hunting for a parking spot. Ensure your group wears comfortable shoes, and let us provide a comfortable ride!
Downtown Burbank & San Fernando Boulevard
If your group is looking for a lively atmosphere with endless dining and shopping options, Downtown Burbank is the place to be. Centered around N San Fernando Blvd, Burbank, CA 91502, this pedestrian-friendly zone features the AMC Burbank 16 (one of the highest-grossing movie theaters in the country), diverse restaurants ranging from quick bites to upscale dining, and plenty of street performers. It is an excellent stop for lunch during a corporate outing or a dinner destination for a wedding party.
While there are parking garages in the area, coordinating a fleet of cars to park in the same structure and meeting up at a specific restaurant can be a logistical headache. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Burbank, we can drop your group off right near the AMC walkway or at the corner of Magnolia and San Fernando. Your group can split up to explore the shops and restaurants and meet back at the bus at a pre-arranged time. It’s the ultimate convenience for large groups who want to experience the local vibe without the parking validation shuffle.
Magnolia Park Vintage Shopping District
For a unique, retro experience, take your group to Magnolia Park. This trendy neighborhood, stretching along Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505, is famous for its vintage boutiques, antique shops, quirky cafes, and the famous Porto’s Bakery & Cafe (3614 W Magnolia Blvd). It is a fantastic destination for bachelorette parties, social clubs, or anyone looking for that distinct "Old Hollywood" charm.
Parking along Magnolia Boulevard can be scarce, consisting mostly of metered street parking that is often occupied. A minibus rental is perfect for this area. Your driver can drop your group off at one end of the shopping district, allowing you to stroll the boulevard, grab some famous potato balls from Porto’s, and hunt for vintage treasures. Since you will likely be carrying shopping bags and bakery boxes, having a private bus waiting to pick you up at the other end is a luxury your group will appreciate. Plus, with ample overhead storage and luggage bays on our buses, you’ll have plenty of room for all your finds.
Starlight Bowl
During the summer months, the Starlight Bowl offers an incredible outdoor concert experience with a stunning view of the city. Located at 1249 Lockheed View Dr, Burbank, CA 91501, this venue hosts Fourth of July celebrations, tribute bands, and community events. It is a favorite for company picnics, senior citizen outings, and family gatherings. The venue allows picnics, making it a festive atmosphere for groups.
Getting a large caravan of cars up the hill to the Starlight Bowl can be difficult, and parking is tiered on the hillside. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Burbank, you eliminate the need for a steep hike from the lower parking lots. We can transport your group, along with your coolers, picnic baskets, and lawn chairs, directly to the drop-off zone. Enjoy the music and the fireworks without worrying about the post-concert traffic jam; your driver will handle the exit logistics while you relax.
DeBell Golf Club
Nestled in the Verdugo Mountains, DeBell Golf Club offers a picturesque escape from the city bustle. Located at 1500 E Walnut Ave, Burbank, CA 91501, this course is ideal for corporate tournaments, charity fundraisers, or a groomsmen outing. The course is known for its narrow fairways and beautiful canyon views.
Transporting golf clubs and gear for a large group requires space that standard rideshares or sedans just don't have. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays, perfect for comfortably stowing golf bags, carts, and luggage. Your group can travel together, perhaps enjoying a light breakfast on board or reviewing the scorecard strategy, and arrive at the clubhouse ready to tee off. After 18 holes and a meal at the Canyon Grille, a climate-controlled bus ride back to the hotel is exactly what your players will need.
Martial Arts History Museum
For a unique cultural and educational experience, the Martial Arts History Museum at 2319 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91506 is a hidden gem. It is the first museum of its kind, exploring the history, art, and tradition of martial arts across different Asian countries and its impact on American media. It’s an excellent destination for school field trips, cultural clubs, or summer camps.
Charter Bus Burbank specializes in comfortable, reliable school field trip transportation. Unlike traditional yellow school buses, our modern charter buses offer comfortable bucket seats, air conditioning, and onboard entertainment systems. You can play educational documentaries on the TV monitors during the drive to prepare students for the exhibits. We ensure that student groups arrive comfortably and that teachers and chaperones can focus on the students rather than the traffic.
