A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Historic Euclid Avenue & Madonna of the Trail
No trip to Upland is complete without a scenic drive or a stroll along the historic Euclid Avenue. This iconic 3-mile bridle path is the backbone of the city, lined with majestic trees and historic homes that date back to Upland's origins as a citrus empire. At the intersection of Euclid Avenue and Foothill Boulevard stands the Madonna of the Trail statue (Euclid Ave & Foothill Blvd, Upland, CA 91786), one of only 12 such monuments in the United States dedicated to the pioneer women of the covered wagon days. It is a fantastic spot for history buffs and tour groups to stop for photos and appreciate the rich heritage of the region.
Traveling to see the sights along Euclid Avenue is best done with a private charter bus rental. Parking along the avenue can be scarce, especially for multiple vehicles, and traffic can move quickly. With a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Upland, your driver can drop your group off comfortably at designated points near the statue or the median park for a leisurely walk. Afterward, your bus will be waiting to whisk you away to your next destination. This is particularly useful for senior citizen tour groups or school field trips where accessibility are top priorities. Enjoy the view of the San Gabriel Mountains through the panoramic windows of your motorcoach as you cruise down this historic thoroughfare.
Cooper Regional History Museum
For educational groups, historical societies, or anyone interested in the roots of the Inland Empire, the Cooper Regional History Museum (217 A St, Upland, CA 91786) is a must-visit destination. Housed in a vintage Art Moderne style building, the museum offers a fascinating deep dive into the history of Upland and the surrounding Cucamonga Valley. Exhibits cover everything from the indigenous tongva people and the ranchero era to the booming citrus industry that put Upland on the map. It is an invaluable resource for teachers planning field trips or private groups looking to connect with the local culture.
Coordinating a field trip to the Cooper Regional History Museum is effortless when you partner with Charter Bus Rental Company Upland. Forget the stress of organizing parent carpools or relying on uncomfortable yellow school buses without air conditioning. Our modern charter buses come equipped with climate control to beat the California heat, comfortable reclining seats, and onboard TV monitors with DVD players so you can play educational documentaries en route. We can arrange drop-offs right at the museum entrance on A Street, ensuring your group stays together and arrives on time for their guided tour. After immersing yourselves in history, your group will appreciate a cool, comfortable ride to lunch or your next activity.
Mount Baldy Resort
Just a short drive north of Upland lies Mount Baldy Resort (8401 Mt Baldy Rd, Mt Baldy, CA 91759), the premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts in the region. In the winter, it offers skiing, snowboarding, and tubing with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. In the summer, groups flock here for scenic chairlift rides, hiking trails, and fresh mountain air. Whether you are planning a corporate team-building ski trip, a church youth group hike, or a summer escape with family, Mount Baldy provides an alpine adventure right in Upland’s backyard.
Driving up the winding mountain roads to Mount Baldy can be intimidating for those unfamiliar with the terrain, and parking at the resort can be extremely limited on busy weekends. This is where a charter bus rental becomes essential. The drivers can navigate the switchbacks and grades of Mt. Baldy Road comfortably, allowing your group to relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. A full-size charter bus offers ample undercarriage storage for skis, snowboards, hiking gear, and coolers, keeping the cabin clutter-free. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Upland handle the drive so your group can save their energy for the slopes or the trails.
Upland Memorial Park
Located in the heart of the city, Upland Memorial Park (1100 E Foothill Blvd, Upland, CA 91786) is a sprawling green space perfect for large gatherings, community events, and relaxing afternoons. The park features picnic areas, a playground, and the poignant Upland Veterans Monument, which honors local service members. It is a popular spot for family reunions, company picnics, and sports team gatherings after tournaments. The wide-open spaces and well-equipped facilities make it an ideal central meeting point for groups of all sizes.
When organizing a large picnic or reunion at Upland Memorial Park, transportation logistics are key. Instead of having dozens of attendees drive separately and struggle to find parking near the picnic shelters, consolidate your group into a private bus rental. We can shuttle guests from nearby hotels, airports, or residential areas directly to the park. If you are hosting a corporate picnic, a shuttle service adds a layer of professionalism and convenience for your employees. With Charter Bus Rental Company Upland, you can transport all your supplies—food, games, decorations—in the spacious luggage bays of the bus, ensuring everything arrives at the park at the same time you do.
Historic Downtown Upland
Historic Downtown Upland (centered around 2nd Ave & 9th St) offers a charming, nostalgic atmosphere filled with antique shops, boutique clothing stores, and unique dining experiences. The centerpiece of the district is the beautiful downtown gazebo, which often hosts concerts and community events. It is a fantastic destination for leisure groups, bachelorette parties, or anyone looking to spend a day shopping and dining in a walkable, tree-lined environment. From grabbing coffee at a local roaster to enjoying a fine dinner, Downtown Upland has a vibe all its own.
While the downtown area is walkable, getting a large group there and parking can be a headache, especially during peak dining hours or special events. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Upland is the perfect solution for navigating the tighter streets of the historic district. Your driver can drop your group off right near the gazebo or your restaurant of choice, allowing you to explore freely without watching the meter. If your group plans on visiting multiple spots—perhaps a brewery tour or a progressive dinner—your private shuttle will be waiting to take you to the next stop comfortably. Enjoy the charm of Downtown Upland without the hassle of urban driving.
The Upland Lemon Festival
Celebrating the city's citrus heritage, the Upland Lemon Festival is the event of the year, drawing thousands of visitors to downtown Upland every spring. The festival features live music, carnival rides, food vendors (offering everything lemon-flavored!), and the famous "Lemon Idol" singing competition. It is a fantastic event for youth groups, social clubs, and families, but the massive crowds make traffic and parking notoriously difficult. Streets are closed, and finding a spot can take longer than the drive itself.
This is where Charter Bus Rental Company Upland shines. We offer dedicated event transportation services that can shuttle your group directly to the festival gates. Avoid the frustration of circling for parking blocks away or paying exorbitant fees for private lots. We can arrange a pick-up and drop-off schedule that works for your group, whether you want to stay for the whole day or just a few hours. For large organizations attending the festival, such as marching bands or dance troupes performing at the event, our full-size charter buses provide the necessary space for costumes, instruments, and personnel. Let us handle the traffic while you get ready to enjoy the lemonade!
Ontario Mills
Just a stone's throw from Upland, Ontario Mills (1 Mills Cir, Ontario, CA 91764) is California's largest outlet and value retail shopping destination. With over 200 stores, including high-end fashion outlets, a massive food court, and entertainment options like the Improv Comedy Club and AMC Theatres, it attracts tour groups and shoppers from all over the world. It is an excellent add-on destination for groups visiting Upland who want to get some serious shopping done.
Shop 'til you drop without the worry of carrying endless bags back to a car parked a mile away. When you rent a charter bus for a shopping excursion to Ontario Mills, you gain the ultimate convenience: curb-side service. Your driver can drop your group at a designated entrance and pick you up when you are finished. Plus, the ample storage space in our buses means your group can shop to their heart's content without worrying about trunk space. We frequently work with international tour groups and senior centers to provide comfortable, climate-controlled transportation for day trips to this massive shopping complex.
Claremont Colleges (The Claremont Colleges)
Bordering Upland to the west is the city of Claremont, home to the prestigious Claremont Colleges (including Pomona, Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer). These campuses are renowned for their academic excellence and beautiful architecture. They are a frequent destination for high school AVID programs, college preparatory groups, and academic decathlon teams traveling from Upland and surrounding areas.
Charter Bus Rental Company Upland specializes in academic transportation. We can provide a fleet of buses for large high school groups touring the colleges or a single minibus for a smaller prospective student tour. Navigating five different campuses can be confusing, but the drivers are familiar with the area and the specific bus loading zones for each college. We ensure your students arrive on time for their admissions sessions and campus tours. With onboard WiFi and power outlets available, students can work on assignments or research the colleges while en route. Trust us to provide reliable transportation for the next generation of scholars.

How far in advance should I book my bus in Upland?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and itinerary are finalized. For peak travel seasons (such as spring for school trips or June/September for weddings), we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Upland has a large fleet, and we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Whether your trip is next week or next year, call us, and we will do our best to get you the vehicle you need.
Do you service areas outside of Upland?
Absolutely! While we are proud to serve Upland, Charter Bus Rental Company Upland operates statewide. We can take your group anywhere in California and beyond. Whether you need a charter bus to Las Vegas, a shuttle to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), or a trip up the coast to Santa Barbara, we have you covered. Our service area includes the entire Inland Empire, Orange County, San Diego, and more. If you can map it, we can drive it.
Is there a bathroom on the bus?
Most of our full-size, 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with an onboard restroom for your convenience. This is perfect for longer trips, such as drives to Mount Baldy or out-of-town excursions. Smaller vehicles, such as minibuses and sprinter vans, typically do not have restrooms due to their compact size. If an onboard restroom is a requirement for your group, please let your reservation specialist know when you call 909-327-2002, and we will ensure you are matched with the correct vehicle.
