A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Fairplex (Home of the LA County Fair)
The Fairplex is arguably the crown jewel of Pomona's event scene. Located at 1101 W McKinley Ave, Pomona, CA 91768, this massive exposition complex hosts the annual LA County Fair, one of the largest county fairs in North America, as well as Oktoberfest, gun shows, boat shows, and massive swap meets throughout the year. The grounds are expansive, and during peak event times, the traffic leading into the parking lots can be backed up for miles. Once you finally park, you are often faced with a long trek or a crowded tram ride just to get to the entrance gate.
When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Pomona, you bypass the worst of the Fairplex friction. The drivers can drop your group off at designated commercial loading zones right near the entrance gates (often Gate 1 or Gate 17, depending on the event), saving your group from the heat and the hike. If you are attending the LA County Fair, your group can store carnival prizes, giant stuffed animals, and souvenirs in the spacious undercarriage storage bays of the bus, leaving everyone plenty of legroom to relax on the air-conditioned ride home. Whether you are bringing a school group for an educational farm tour or a corporate team for a holiday party, a private shuttle ensures everyone stays together amidst the crowds. Call us at 840-226-2510 to plan your Fairplex trip today.
The Fox Theater Pomona
For music lovers and architecture buffs, the Fox Theater Pomona is a must-visit landmark. Located in the heart of the Downtown Pomona Arts Colony at 301 S Garey Ave, Pomona, CA 91766, this fully restored Art Deco movie palace now serves as one of the premier concert venues in the region. The theater hosts major touring acts, comedy shows, and special screenings. While the venue is stunning, parking in Downtown Pomona on a show night can be incredibly difficult. Public lots fill up hours before doors open, and street parking is scarce and time-restricted.
By renting a party bus or minibus for your concert crew, you eliminate the stress of hunting for a spot or paying surge pricing on rideshare apps after the encore. Your driver can drop your group off curbside right in front of the marquee for that VIP feeling. While you are inside enjoying the show, your driver stays with the vehicle, ready to pick you up the moment the concert ends. On the way there, get the party started early by streaming your favorite artist’s albums over the bus's Bluetooth/AUX sound system and enjoying drinks (if everyone is of age) in a safe, controlled environment. It transforms a simple concert outing into an unforgettable night on the town.
Cal Poly Pomona & The Farm Store
California State Polytechnic University, Pomona—better known as Cal Poly Pomona—is a unique destination that offers more than just academics. The campus is famous for its agricultural roots, specifically the W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center and the Cal Poly Pomona Farm Store. Located at 4102 S University Dr, Pomona, CA 91768, the Farm Store sells produce grown right on campus, along with honey, jams, and nursery plants. In the fall, the Pumpkin Festival draws tens of thousands of visitors, creating significant traffic congestion around Temple Avenue.
A charter bus rental is the ideal solution for school field trips or senior community outings to the university. We can coordinate a drop-off at the Arabian Horse Center for a show, then transport your group over to the Farm Store for shopping, and finally to the Japanese Garden for a peaceful walk. Navigating a large campus with a caravan of personal cars often results in members of the group getting lost or separated. With a private motorcoach, the entire group moves as one unit. The bus offers ample storage for all the fresh produce and pumpkins your group purchases, and the climate-controlled cabin provides a welcome respite from the Pomona sun after a day of walking the fields.
The Glass House
Another staple of the Pomona music scene is The Glass House, located at 200 W 2nd St, Pomona, CA 91766. Unlike the seated grandeur of the Fox Theater, The Glass House is known for its intimate, standing-room-only vibe, hosting punk, indie, metal, and hip-hop acts. It is a favorite destination for younger crowds and dedicated music fans. However, just like the Fox, it suffers from the congestion of the downtown area, especially on weekends when the nearby bars and clubs are active.
For groups of friends celebrating a birthday or a bachelor/bachelorette party, a sprinter van or minibus rental is the perfect transportation hack. You don't have to worry about designating a driver or splitting the group into multiple cars. Your driver handles the navigation through the one-way streets of downtown and ensures everyone gets home safely after a high-energy night. Plus, with onboard power outlets and WiFi, you can upload all your concert videos to social media instantly on the ride home without draining your data plan. Contact Charter Bus Pomona at 840-226-2510 to secure your ride to the next big show.
Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum
Located on the edge of the Fairplex grounds at 1101 W McKinley Ave, Bldg 3A, Pomona, CA 91768, the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum is a treasure trove for car enthusiasts. The museum celebrates the impact of motorsports on American culture, featuring a massive collection of hot rods, custom cars, race cars, and memorabilia. It is a fantastic destination for car clubs, history classes, or corporate outings looking for something distinctively Southern Californian.
When you visit with a charter bus, you can easily combine a trip to the museum with other local automotive attractions. Your bus driver can drop you at the museum entrance and then park in the oversized vehicle lots nearby. After touring the exhibits, your group can hop back on the bus to grab lunch at a nearby eatery without having to repark a dozen individual vehicles. If you are visiting during the NHRA Winternationals or Finals, having a pre-booked bus is even more critical, as it guarantees you have a transportation plan in place during one of the busiest weekends of the year.
American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA)
For a dose of culture and creativity, the American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) at 399 N Garey Ave, Pomona, CA 91767 is a hidden gem. As one of the few museums in the country dedicated exclusively to ceramic art, it offers fascinating exhibits ranging from ancient pottery to contemporary sculpture. The museum also offers workshops and clay classes for groups, making it an interactive destination for school art programs or team-building retreats.
Transporting students or art patrons to AMOCA is seamless with Charter Bus Pomona. We prioritize comfort and reliability, ensuring that school groups arrive with plenty of time for their scheduled tours. Our buses are equipped with PA systems, allowing teachers or tour guides to give a briefing on the history of ceramics while en route to the museum. Since the museum is located near the freeway exit but in a busy commercial area, having a bus driver to manage drop-off allows the chaperones to focus entirely on the students and the experience, rather than traffic safety.
Downtown Pomona Arts Colony (Second Saturday Art Walk)
The Downtown Pomona Arts Colony is a vibrant district filled with galleries, studios, antique shops, and restaurants. Every second Saturday of the month, the area comes alive for the Art Walk, drawing artists and art lovers from all over Southern California. The streets are bustling with vendors, live music, and open galleries. While the atmosphere is electric, parking can be a nightmare during the Art Walk.
A charter bus rental allows your group to experience the Art Walk without the stress. We can drop your group off at a central location, such as Thomas Plaza at 2nd and Main, allowing you to explore the galleries on foot. If your group plans to visit a specific restaurant or bar, like the Rookery or O’Donovan’s, your driver can coordinate a pickup nearby when you are ready to leave. For large groups coming from out of town, the bus serves as a convenient meeting point and a safe, sober ride home after enjoying the nightlife and dining scene of the Arts Colony.
Auto Club Raceway at Pomona
Speed demons know that Pomona is synonymous with drag racing. The Auto Club Raceway at Pomona (often referred to simply as "Pomona") hosts the NHRA Winternationals and the NHRA Finals, two of the most prestigious events in drag racing. Located at 2780 Fairplex Dr, Pomona, CA 91768, the track draws tens of thousands of fans. The roar of the engines is deafening, and the crowds are immense.
Renting a charter bus for race day is a game-changer. Not only does it solve the parking issue, but it also serves as the ultimate tailgating headquarters. Our charter buses come with spacious undercarriage storage bays perfect for hauling coolers, folding chairs, pop-up tents, and grills. You can set up your base camp in the parking lot and enjoy the pre-race atmosphere with your group. When the races are over and thousands of cars are trying to exit the lot simultaneously, your group can relax in reclining seats, watch race highlights on the onboard TVs, and let a driver handle the gridlock. It turns a chaotic exit into a comfortable extension of the event.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pomona Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Pomona?
The cost of renting a charter bus in Pomona depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. For example, a trip during the LA County Fair season might be priced differently than a mid-week trip in February. We offer personalized, transparent quotes tailored to your specific itinerary. Call our team at 840-226-2510 or use our online quote tool for an instant estimate in under 30 seconds.
Where will the bus pick us up and drop us off?
One of the biggest advantages of a private charter bus rental is that we operate on your schedule and route. We can pick your group up at a designated location—whether that’s a hotel, an office building, a school, or a private residence—and drop you off as close to your destination’s entrance as possible. For venues like the Fairplex or Auto Club Raceway, we will adhere to their specific commercial vehicle loading and unloading zones.
Do your buses have storage for luggage or equipment?
Absolutely. Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays that can hold luggage, sports equipment, musical instruments, or tailgating gear. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for smaller personal items like backpacks and purses. Minibuses have more limited storage, so if you are traveling with a lot of gear, be sure to let our reservation specialist know so we can match you with the right vehicle.
How far in advance should I book my bus rental?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date is confirmed to ensure the best availability and pricing. For major events in Pomona, such as the LA County Fair in May or NHRA races, we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance, as demand is extremely high during these times. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don’t hesitate to call us at 840-226-2510 to check availability.
