A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Historic Downtown Upland
If you want to experience the heart and soul of the city, your group trip must start in Historic Downtown Upland. This area, centered around 2nd Avenue and 9th Street, is a throwback to a simpler time, featuring vintage architecture, antique shops, and a variety of local eateries. It is the perfect drop-off point for groups who want to spend a few hours walking, shopping, and dining. Your charter bus driver can drop your group off right near the iconic gazebo, allowing you to explore without the hassle of finding street parking for multiple vehicles.
Downtown Upland hosts a weekly Farmer’s Market that draws crowds from all over the Inland Empire. If you are visiting with a tour group, schedule your trip for a Thursday evening during the summer to catch the "Lemon Nights" street fair vibe. For lunch, your group can gather at one of the many independent restaurants offering everything from gourmet burgers to authentic Mexican cuisine. A private bus rental allows you to stow your shopping bags in the overhead bins or undercarriage storage while you continue your tour of the city.
Location: N 2nd Ave & E 9th St, Upland, CA 91786
Madonna of the Trail
For history buffs and educational tour groups, the Madonna of the Trail monument is a mandatory stop. Located on the legendary Euclid Avenue, this statue is one of only 12 identical monuments dedicated to the spirit of pioneer women in the United States. It marks the route of the National Old Trails Road, which eventually became part of the famous Route 66. Standing 18 feet high, it is an impressive sight and a significant piece of American history right here in Upland.
Visiting this landmark with a charter bus is ideal because Euclid Avenue is a busy, historic thoroughfare. Instead of trying to pull over safely in a convoy of cars, your bus driver can navigate the broad avenue—famous for its beautiful median bridle path—and find a safe spot for your group to disembark, take photos, and learn about the history of the trail. It is a quick but meaningful stop that fits perfectly into a broader sightseeing itinerary of San Bernardino County.
Location: Euclid Ave & Foothill Blvd, Upland, CA 91786
Cooper Regional History Museum
To dive deeper into the local lore, take your students, senior group, or history club to the Cooper Regional History Museum. Housed in a 1937 Art Moderne style building, the museum is dedicated to preserving the history of Upland and the surrounding Ontario area. Exhibits cover everything from the citrus industry that put Upland on the map to the Native American history of the region and the development of the local wine industry.
We frequently provide school field trip bus rentals to the Cooper Museum because it offers a safe, controlled environment for learning. Unlike yellow school buses, our charter buses come equipped with air conditioning (essential for Upland summers) and comfortable seating, ensuring students arrive fresh and ready to learn. Teachers appreciate the ample storage for backpacks and lunches, while the museum staff appreciates the coordinated arrival of a single group rather than a scattered arrival of parents and chaperones.

California Botanic Garden
Located just on the border of Upland and Claremont, the California Botanic Garden (formerly the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden) is the largest botanic garden dedicated to California native plants. Spanning 86 acres, it is a stunning destination for nature lovers, photography clubs, and wedding parties looking for a scenic backdrop. The garden features paved paths and nature trails that wind through diverse plant communities, offering a peaceful escape from the suburban sprawl.
This is a fantastic destination for a minibus rental or a full-sized charter bus, depending on your group size. Parking can be limited on busy weekends or during special events like the Wildflower Festival. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Upland, your group can be dropped off right at the entrance gate. After a few hours of walking the trails, your group will be grateful for the air-conditioned cabin and reclining seats of the bus waiting to take them to their next destination or lunch.
Location: 1500 N College Ave, Claremont, CA 91711
Upland Lemon Festival
When we say "Lemon Festival," we mean one of the biggest events in the region! Celebrating the city's citrus-growing heritage, the Upland Lemon Festival transforms downtown into a bustling hub of lemon-themed food, competitions, carnival rides, and live music. It attracts thousands of visitors, which inevitably leads to road closures and extremely difficult parking situations. If you are planning to attend with a large group—whether it’s a family reunion, a corporate outing, or a community organization—a private shuttle is the only way to go.
Charter Bus Rental Company Upland can arrange a drop-off point near the festival entrance, sparing your group the headache of circling for parking blocks away or paying exorbitant fees for distant lots. We can set up a return pickup time so everyone can enjoy the "Lemon Idol" singing contest or the lemon pie-eating competition without worrying about designated drivers or navigating the heavy event traffic. Let us handle the gridlock while you handle the lemonade.

Mount Baldy
Dominating the skyline north of Upland is Mount Baldy (officially Mount San Antonio), the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains. Whether you are planning a winter ski trip, a summer hike to the San Antonio Falls, or just a scenic drive to the Top of the Notch restaurant, Mount Baldy is a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts. However, the drive up Mt. Baldy Road is winding, steep, and requires full attention—not ideal if you are trying to coordinate a convoy.
Rent a charter bus for your hiking club, church youth group, or ski team, and leave the mountain driving to a driver. The drivers know how to navigate diverse terrains and will ensure your group gets to the trailhead or ski lift comfortably. A 56-passenger charter bus offers massive undercarriage storage bays, perfect for stowing skis, snowboards, hiking poles, and coolers, keeping the cabin clutter-free for a comfortable ride up the mountain.
Location: 8401 Mt Baldy Rd, Mt Baldy, CA 91759
Memorial Park
Sometimes the best group destination is a simple, beautiful park. Memorial Park is one of Upland's oldest and most cherished green spaces. It features picnic areas, a playground, and the YMCA, making it a central hub for community gatherings. It is an excellent spot for a company picnic, a family reunion, or a mid-day stop for a tour group needing a lunch break. During the summer, the park hosts "Concerts in the Park," a popular series that brings the community together for live music.
Booking a minibus for a company picnic at Memorial Park ensures that all your employees arrive together, maximizing the time spent team-building rather than waiting for stragglers. We can transport your team from your office to the park and back, providing a safe and responsible ride for everyone, especially if alcohol is being served at your event. Enjoy the majestic oak trees and the community vibe while we take care of the transportation.
Location: 1100 E Foothill Blvd, Upland, CA 91786
Ontario Mills
Just a short drive south of Upland lies one of California's largest indoor outlet malls: Ontario Mills. With over 200 stores including high-end outlets and entertainment options like the Improv Comedy Club and AMC Theatres, it is a prime destination for shopping tours and large groups looking for entertainment. Whether you are organizing a senior shopping excursion, a spouses' program during a corporate conference, or a youth group outing, the Mills has something for everyone.
Shopping trips are infinitely better with a charter bus. Why? Storage space. After hours of hunting for bargains, no one wants to cram shopping bags into the trunk of a small sedan or carry them on their lap. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Upland, your guests can store their purchases in the secure luggage bays or overhead bins and relax in a climate-controlled seat between stores. We can set up a pick-up and drop-off schedule at specific mall entrances, so your group doesn't have to walk the entire perimeter of the mall to find the car.
Location: 1 Mills Cir, Ontario, CA 91764
