A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Explore the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park
Immerse your group in the inspiring history of World War II's home front at this unique national park. The Rosie the Riveter Visitor Education Center (1414 Harbour Way S #3000, Richmond, CA 94804) is the perfect starting point, offering engaging exhibits that tell the stories of the women and men who worked in the Richmond shipyards. Planning a trip for a school group, historical society, or a large family reunion can be complex, but a charter bus rental simplifies the logistics entirely. Instead of struggling to find parking near the waterfront, your driver can drop everyone off directly at the visitor center entrance. Afterward, your private bus can easily shuttle your group to other park sites, like the Rosie the Riveter Memorial and the SS Red Oak Victory, without anyone having to move their car. Onboard amenities like a PA system allow for easy announcements, while comfortable, reclining seats let everyone relax between historical deep dives.
Step Aboard the SS Red Oak Victory
Located at 1337 Canal Blvd, Berth 5, Richmond, CA 94804, the SS Red Oak Victory is the last surviving Victory ship built in the Richmond Kaiser Shipyards. This floating museum offers a tangible connection to the past, allowing groups to explore the decks, engine room, and living quarters of a vessel that served in three wars. Organizing a visit for a large group, especially on their Sunday-only open days, means dealing with an active port area where parking is limited. A minibus or charter bus rental is the ideal solution, providing door-to-ship service for your entire party. Your driver will navigate the industrial roads and drop you off comfortably, while your group can store their belongings securely on the bus. For school groups or tour operators, a charter bus ensures that everyone arrives together for your scheduled docent-led tour, making for a smooth and educational experience for all.
Enjoy Nature at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline
For groups looking to escape the urban hustle, Point Pinole Regional Shoreline offers over 2,300 acres of beautiful parkland with views of San Pablo Bay. Located at 5551 Giant Highway, Richmond, CA 94806, it's a favorite destination for company picnics, church outings, and family gatherings. While the park has ample parking, the lots can fill up on sunny weekends, and the best picnic spots are often a shuttle ride or a long walk from the entrance. Charter Bus Rental Company Richmond can make your group outing effortless. We’ll drop you right at the main entrance, and you can store all your picnic baskets, coolers, and recreational gear securely in the bus's undercarriage storage bays. Your group can enjoy hiking, fishing from the pier, or simply relaxing, knowing a comfortable, climate-controlled ride is waiting to take everyone home at the end of the day. No need to coordinate a caravan of cars or worry about leaving anyone behind!
Discover the Golden State Model Railroad Museum
A hidden gem for hobbyists and families alike, the Golden State Model Railroad Museum (900-A Dornan Dr, Richmond, CA 94801) boasts 10,000 square feet of incredibly detailed model train layouts depicting scenes from Northern and Central California. It’s a fascinating destination for school clubs, scout troops, and anyone with a love for miniatures and mechanics. However, the museum is located within Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline, and on their popular Sunday run days, parking directly at the museum is very limited. Booking a minibus rental is a smart move. Your driver can drop your group off right at the door, eliminating the need to search for street parking or walk from the park's overflow lot. Everyone arrives together, ready to marvel at the tiny trains, and can head to the next destination without the hassle of gathering a scattered group of drivers.
Sip and Savor at Riggers Loft Wine Company

Charter Bus Rental Company Richmond provides a stylish transportation solution. Your driver will handle the navigation so everyone can responsibly enjoy the award-winning wines and ciders. Whether you're a small group in a sprinter van or a large party in a full-size charter bus, you'll travel together and get home safely, making the celebration completely worry-free.
Take a Day Trip to Jack London Square in Oakland
Just a short drive across the Bay Bridge, Oakland's Jack London Square offers a vibrant mix of dining, shopping, and entertainment along the waterfront. It's an excellent destination for a corporate team-building event, a dinner cruise, or a weekend outing with friends. While it’s not far from Richmond, navigating the I-580 and I-880 corridors and then finding affordable group parking near the square can be a major headache. A charter bus rental from Richmond simplifies the entire trip. Your group can relax, socialize, or even get some work done with onboard WiFi as your driver handles the Bay Area traffic. You'll be dropped off right in the heart of the action, ready to explore the market, catch a movie at the luxury cinema, or enjoy a meal at one of the many renowned restaurants, all without the stress of driving and parking.
Explore UC Berkeley & Telegraph Avenue
Experience the intellectual and cultural energy of Berkeley with a group trip to the University of California, Berkeley campus and the iconic Telegraph Avenue. This destination is perfect for prospective student tours, alumni gatherings, or educational field trips. However, parking around the campus and Telegraph is notoriously difficult and expensive, with strict time limits and confusing permit zones. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Richmond provide a seamless travel experience. A minibus or charter bus can easily transport your group from Richmond directly to Sproul Plaza or the edge of campus, allowing you to explore the stunning architecture, museums, and eclectic shops on foot. Your driver will manage the bus parking, so your group can enjoy a campus tour, visit the Berkeley Art Museum, or browse the vibrant street vendors without worrying about transportation logistics.

No group trip to the Bay Area is complete without seeing the majestic Golden Gate Bridge. A charter bus trip from Richmond, about a 30-minute drive without traffic, is the most comfortable and efficient way to experience this world-famous landmark. Forget trying to coordinate a multi-car caravan and finding extremely limited parking at the vista points.

From there, your bus can shuttle you into the Presidio, a sprawling national park with historic sites, scenic overlooks, and museums.
