A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Crown Jewel: Horse Racing at Santa Anita Park
No guide to sports in Arcadia would be complete without mentioning the city’s most famous landmark: Santa Anita Park (285 W Huntington Dr, Arcadia, CA 91007). Known as "The Great Race Place," this thoroughbred racetrack is steeped in history and offers one of the most beautiful backdrops in all of sports, with the San Gabriel Mountains towering over the Art Deco grandstands. Since opening in 1934, Santa Anita has hosted some of the most prestigious races in the world, including the Breeders' Cup and the Santa Anita Derby. For groups visiting Arcadia, a day at the races is an absolute must-do activity. The park features lush gardens, diverse dining options ranging from casual concessions to upscale suites, and the thrill of live betting.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Arcadia, your group trip to Santa Anita Park becomes effortless. Parking at major racetracks can often involve long walks and confusing lot structures, but with a private bus rental, your driver can drop your group off near the main gates, allowing you to walk right into the action. Whether you are organizing a corporate outing, a senior group excursion, or a bachelor party, we can coordinate a schedule that allows you to arrive in time for the first post and stay until the final payout. Your group can enjoy the air-conditioned comfort of our buses while reviewing the racing program or enjoying a pre-race snack. Instead of coordinating a caravan of ten different cars, keep your group together and let the excitement build from the moment you leave your hotel.
Catch the Rose Bowl Action Just Next Door
Just a short drive west from Arcadia lies Pasadena, home to "The Granddaddy of Them All"—the Rose Bowl Stadium (1001 Rose Bowl Dr, Pasadena, CA 91103). As a National Historic Landmark, this venue is bucket-list material for college football fans. Whether you are in town for the annual Rose Bowl Game on New Year's Day or catching a UCLA Bruins home game during the regular season, the atmosphere in the Arroyo Seco is electric. However, the Rose Bowl is notorious for its challenging parking situation, involving stacking cars on a golf course and long exit times after the final whistle. This is where Charter Bus Rental Company Arcadia truly shines.
By renting a charter bus for your Rose Bowl excursion, you bypass the stress of navigating narrow residential streets and finding a spot on the grass. These drivers are good with the traffic patterns surrounding major events in Pasadena. We can transport your alumni group or student section directly to the designated bus parking areas, which are often much easier to navigate than general admission lots. With the ample undercarriage storage available on our full-size motorcoaches, you can bring along tents, coolers, grills, and chairs for a legendary tailgate party without cramping your legroom inside the bus. After the game, relax in your reclining seat and let us handle the traffic on the I-210 freeway back to Arcadia.
Major League Baseball: Dodgers and Angels
Arcadia is perfectly positioned between two titans of Major League Baseball: the Los Angeles Dodgers to the west and the Los Angeles Angels to the south. A trip to Dodger Stadium (1000 Vin Scully Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012) offers a classic baseball experience in one of the game's oldest and most scenic ballparks. Nestled in Chavez Ravine, the stadium offers breathtaking views but is famous for its steep, hillside parking lots. Alternatively, heading south to Angel Stadium of Anaheim (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806) gives your group a chance to see the Halos play in the "Big A." Both venues offer unique experiences, and true baseball fans often try to hit both in one trip.
Charter Bus Rental Company Arcadia makes a double-header weekend possible. We can shuttle your group from your Arcadia hotel to a night game at Dodger Stadium, ensuring you avoid the stress of LA rush hour on the I-110 or I-5. Our buses are equipped with onboard restrooms, which is a game-changer when sitting in post-game traffic. For an Angels game, we can take the 57 freeway down to Anaheim, dropping you off right where you need to be. If your group wants to indulge in a few ballpark frankfurters and beers, you can do so responsibly, knowing that you have a designated driver waiting to take you back to Arcadia comfortably. Why split up into rideshares when you can keep the camaraderie going on a private bus?
Basketball and Hockey at Crypto.com Arena and Honda Center
For fans of fast-paced indoor sports, Arcadia serves as a convenient launchpad to the region's premier arenas. Crypto.com Arena (111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015), located in the heart of Downtown LA at L.A. Live, is home to the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sparks. It is the epicenter of West Coast basketball and hockey. Meanwhile, the Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806) hosts the Anaheim Ducks and various major sporting events. Navigating downtown Los Angeles or the Orange County traffic circles can be daunting for out-of-towners, but drivers handle these routes daily.
When you book a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Arcadia for an arena event, you elevate the entire experience. Imagine heading to a Lakers game with your corporate team or family reunion group. Instead of worrying about paying $40 or more per car for parking blocks away, your group gets dropped off curbside. Our buses feature modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and PA systems, allowing you to run trivia contests, watch highlight reels, or conduct pre-event briefings while on the road. Whether you are heading downtown for the Kings or down to Anaheim for the Ducks, we ensure your arrival is punctual and stylish.
Football Fever: SoFi Stadium and the Coliseum
The return of the NFL to Los Angeles has transformed the region into a football mecca, and staying in Arcadia gives you access to it all. SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301) is a technological marvel and home to both the Rams and the Chargers. It is a massive venue that draws massive crowds. Additionally, the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (3911 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90037) hosts the USC Trojans, offering a traditional collegiate atmosphere. Both venues are accessible from Arcadia via the freeway system, but game day traffic can be intense.
Charter Bus Rental Company Arcadia specializes in heavy-duty game day logistics. For a trip to SoFi Stadium, renting a charter bus allows you to utilize the dedicated bus parking zones, which simplifies the entry and exit process significantly. Our buses have massive storage bays perfect for storing the extensive gear required for a proper NFL tailgate. Whether you are a local fan club heading to see the Rams defend their turf or a visiting group of fans cheering on the Chargers, traveling together builds excitement. With onboard WiFi and power outlets, you can check fantasy football stats and post photos to social media throughout the drive without draining your battery.
Golfing in the San Gabriel Valley
Not all sports in Arcadia involve cheering from the stands; some require you to get in the game. The San Gabriel Valley is home to excellent golf courses, and Arcadia is right in the center of the action. The Santa Anita Golf Course (405 S Santa Anita Ave, Arcadia, CA 91006) offers a challenging layout with views of the mountains and the nearby racetrack. It is a fantastic destination for corporate tournaments, bachelor parties, or a relaxing day on the links with friends. Nearby courses in Pasadena and San Marino offer additional variety for the avid golfer.
Transporting a large group of golfers and their clubs can be a logistical nightmare in standard vehicles. Golf bags are bulky, and fitting four people and four bags into a sedan is nearly impossible. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Arcadia solves this instantly. Our luggage bays offer ample room for golf clubs, shoes, and change of clothes, keeping the cabin clutter-free. We can shuttle your group from the hotel to the course, then to a post-round dinner at a steakhouse in downtown Arcadia, and finally back to your accommodation. It is the country club experience on wheels.
High School and Collegiate Sports in Arcadia
Arcadia isn't just a hub for professional sports spectators; it has a vibrant local sports scene driven by the community. Arcadia High School (180 Campus Dr, Arcadia, CA 91007) boasts the Apaches, with highly competitive teams in track and field, basketball, and football. The prestigious Arcadia Invitational is one of the top high school track and field meets in the United States, drawing athletes from across the state. Additionally, local colleges and youth leagues frequently travel in and out of the city for tournaments.
Charter Bus Rental Company Arcadia is proud to serve schools and athletic directors with comfortable, reliable transportation. We understand that student-athletes need space to stretch out before a competition and a quiet, comfortable ride home after a hard-fought game.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arcadia Sports Transportation
How much storage space is there for tailgating gear?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for tailgating equipment. You can easily fit coolers, folding chairs, small grills, tents, and cornhole boards. If you are renting a minibus or a sprinter van, storage space is more limited and is reserved for personal bags. If you plan on bringing significant tailgating gear, we highly recommend booking a full-size motorcoach to ensure everything fits comfortably without cluttering the seating area.
Do you provide transportation to out-of-town games?
Absolutely! Charter Bus Rental Company Arcadia is a statewide provider. Whether your team is playing in San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, or Phoenix, we can take you there. We specialize in long-distance charters and can arrange for multi-day trips. For trips involving overnight travel, please keep in mind that the customer is responsible for providing a hotel room for the driver to ensure they get the required rest for safety regulations.
How far in advance should we book a sports charter bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your game schedule is confirmed. For major events like the Rose Bowl, Super Bowl, or opening days at Dodger Stadium, demand is incredibly high, and buses can sell out months in advance. Ideally, try to book at least 3 to 6 months ahead of time for major events. For regular season games or local travel, 1 to 2 months in advance is usually sufficient, but booking early ensures the best selection of vehicles and pricing.
