A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Cheering on the Azusa Pacific University Cougars

In Azusa, collegiate sports are the heart of the community, and nowhere is the spirit louder than at Azusa Pacific University (APU). As an NCAA Division II powerhouse, the APU Cougars draw crowds for football, soccer, basketball, and track and field. If you are organizing a group of alumni to catch a homecoming game or a student organization looking to support your peers, a charter bus rental is the best way to get to East Campus. We can drop your group off right near the Cougar Athletic Stadium (901 E. Alosta Ave, Azusa, CA 91702) for football and track events, or the Felix Event Center (701 E. Foothill Blvd, Azusa, CA 91702) for basketball and volleyball matches.

For visiting teams traveling to play against APU, Charter Bus Azusa offers the reliability you need. We understand that athletes require specific conditions to perform their best. Our full-size charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage for bulky equipment, uniforms, and medical kits, keeping the cabin clutter-free. With reclining seats and climate control, your players can rest, review game footage on onboard TV monitors, or mentally prepare for the competition without the stress of navigating unfamiliar streets. We can transport your team from local hotels directly to the locker room entrance, ensuring you stick to your pre-game schedule efficiently.

Citrus College Athletics and Community Events

Just down the road, Citrus College offers another layer of exciting local sports action. The Citrus College Owls compete in the Western State Conference, and their games are a staple for local sports fans. Whether you are heading to Citrus Stadium (1000 W Foothill Blvd, Glendora, CA 91741)—which sits right on the border of Azusa and Glendora—for a football game or a soccer match, parking can get tight during popular matchups. By renting a minibus for your family or fan group, you avoid the hassle of circling the lot and can be dropped off right near the ticket booth.

Citrus Stadium also frequently hosts high school championships, band competitions, and community sporting events. If you are a high school athletic director or a booster club president organizing travel for a tournament hosted at Citrus College, Charter Bus Azusa is your go-to solution. We can arrange a shuttle service to move parents and fans between off-site parking and the stadium, or provide round-trip transportation for the student athletes themselves. With drivers behind the wheel, parents can enjoy the game knowing their children are traveling safely.

The Gateway to Rose Bowl Game Day

One of the biggest advantages of staying or living in Azusa is its proximity to Pasadena, home of the legendary Rose Bowl Stadium (1001 Rose Bowl Dr, Pasadena, CA 91103). Located just about 15 miles west via the I-210 freeway, Azusa serves as an excellent staging ground for groups heading to UCLA Bruins football games, the annual Rose Bowl Game, or major international soccer matches. However, anyone who has driven to the Rose Bowl knows that traffic in the Arroyo Seco can be a nightmare, and stacking parking puts a damper on the post-game exit.

Skip the gridlock and the stress by booking a private charter bus rental. Your group can load up your coolers, folding chairs, and tents into the bus's storage bays and start the tailgate the moment you board. Your driver will navigate the traffic on the 210 and drop you off as close to the stadium as permissible. After the game, while thousands of cars are stuck in the parking lot bottleneck, your group can relax in air-conditioned comfort, recounting the highlights of the game. Whether you are a UCLA alumni chapter or a group of friends crossing a bucket-list stadium off your list, we make the trip to Pasadena effortless.

Easy Access to Dodger Stadium

For baseball fans in Azusa, a trip to see the Boys in Blue is a summer tradition. However, getting from the San Gabriel Valley to Dodger Stadium (1000 Vin Scully Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012) during rush hour can be challenging. Between the traffic on the I-210 and the congestion merging onto the I-5 or CA-110, the drive can drain your energy before the first pitch is even thrown. With Charter Bus Azusa, you can leave the driving to us.

Gather your little league team, your company department, or your extended family and hop aboard a spacious motorcoach. We can utilize the designated bus lanes to access the stadium more efficiently. Your driver can drop your group off at the specific bus zones, such as near Sunset Gate A, allowing for easy access to the stadium entrance. Enjoy a hot dog and a cold drink without worrying about designated drivers or navigating the steep parking lots of Chavez Ravine. After the game, your bus will be waiting to whisk you back to Azusa safely.

Connecting to Anaheim: Angels and Ducks

Azusa's location also provides relatively easy access to Orange County sports venues via the CA-57 freeway. If your loyalties lie with the Angels or the Ducks, Charter Bus Azusa can get you to Anaheim in style. Headed to Angel Stadium of Anaheim (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806)? A charter bus rental is perfect for large groups wanting to catch a ballgame and enjoy the Friday night fireworks. We can store all your tailgating gear and ensure everyone arrives together.

If hockey is more your speed, we offer reliable transportation to the Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806) to watch the Ducks take the ice. The drive down the 57 can be unpredictable, but on a charter bus equipped with WiFi and power outlets, passengers can stay entertained and connected. Corporate groups often use our services for suite rentals at these venues, providing clients and employees with a VIP door-to-door experience that starts the moment they leave the office in Azusa.

SoFi Stadium and Crypto.com Arena Excursions

When it comes to major league sports, Los Angeles is the place to be, and Azusa residents are just a bus ride away from the action. Whether you are heading to Inglewood to see the Rams or Chargers at the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301) or going downtown to Crypto.com Arena (1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) for the Lakers, Clippers, or Kings, we have the transportation solution for you. These venues attract massive crowds, and parking fees can be astronomical.

By splitting the cost of a charter bus rental, your group can save money on parking and gas while enjoying a superior travel experience. Our buses can navigate the complex arrival procedures at SoFi Stadium, ensuring you are dropped off in the designated commercial vehicle zones. For concerts or games at Crypto.com Arena, avoid the hassle of downtown LA one-way streets and expensive garages. Your driver will handle the logistics while you enjoy the pre-game excitement with your friends. With onboard restrooms available on our full-size coaches, the longer drive across the county becomes convenient and comfortable.

Golfing Group Trips in the San Gabriel Valley

Sports in Azusa aren't just for spectators. The city is home to the beautiful Azusa Greens Country Club (919 W Sierra Madre Ave, Azusa, CA 91702), a premier destination for golfers in the San Gabriel Valley. If you are organizing a charity golf tournament, a corporate outing, or a bachelor party golf day, a minibus rental is the perfect way to transport your foursomes.

Standard vehicles often struggle to accommodate multiple sets of golf clubs and luggage, but our charter buses and minibuses are designed with storage in mind. We can easily stow everyone's clubs in the rear or undercarriage compartments, leaving plenty of room for passengers to stretch out in the cabin. We can also provide transportation to other nearby courses, such as the Glendora Country Club or San Dimas Canyon Golf Course, creating a seamless multi-course golf weekend for your group. Let us handle the driving so you can focus on your swing and enjoy the stunning mountain views.

Frequently Asked Questions About Azusa Sports Transportation

Is there enough space for our team's equipment?
