Party Bus Orange has been coordinating group transportation across Orange County since 2011 — that's over a decade of getting fan groups to Angel Stadium without fighting the 57, shuttling wedding guests between Old Towne Orange venues, and making sure prom nights in Tustin run on schedule. We work with schools, corporate teams, wedding planners, and fan groups of every size, and we know the local roads as well as anyone who drives them daily.
What makes booking with us different is the pricing model. You get an exact, all-inclusive number in under 30 seconds online — no callbacks, no surprise costs, no wondering what you actually owe. Our 24/7 reservation team is always a quick call away for logistics questions, and we carry a wide enough variety of vehicles that you never end up paying for seats nobody's sitting in.
A 15-passenger minibus for an executive transfer and a 56-passenger charter bus for a full school trip are both in the network. Whatever your headcount and your destination, we match you to the right vehicle at the right price. Call 657-822-1910 any time to get started.
Party Bus Orange gives your group access to Sprinter vans, 14-passenger Sprinter limos, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. Whatever your headcount — eight people heading to Knott's Berry Farm or fifty-six bound for a convention at the Anaheim Convention Center — there's a vehicle in our network sized for it.
For groups out for a night in Orange County, our party buses come loaded with color-changing LED lighting, a full-length onboard bar, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating with a dance area in the center. Sprinter limos handle smaller VIP runs — premium leather, tinted privacy glass, and USB charging at every seat. Full-size charter buses are built for the long hauls: reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays deep enough for ski gear, beach equipment, or convention presentation materials.
ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just mention your needs when you reserve.

Tustin party bus and charter bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, your date, and how many hours you need. Here's what to expect from our network: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day.
Peak dates — Disneyland resort weekends, OC Fair season through July and August, and prom season from late April through May — move prices toward the top of those ranges. Weekends consistently run higher than weekdays. The fastest way to get an exact number for your itinerary is to use our 30-second online quote tool — or call 657-822-1910.
Either way, you'll see the all-inclusive price before you commit.

Orange County has no shortage of transportation options, but most of them leave your group scattered across three rideshare pickups or stuck circling a sold-out parking structure on Harbor Boulevard. Party Bus Orange solves both problems at once: everyone boards at one address, arrives together, and the parking headache belongs to someone else entirely.
We've been doing this since 2011, which means we've run game-day buses to Angel Stadium through every configuration of the 57/91 interchange, set up charter buses for proms at every major Tustin and Irvine venue, and handled enough OC Fair transfers to know exactly which Newport Boulevard lot fills up first. That experience on these roads shows up in your quote and your timeline — tighter pickup times and routes that account for known event closures, and a single point of contact from your first call to final drop-off.
You get all-inclusive pricing with no hidden costs, a 24/7 reservation team, ADA-accessible vehicles on request, and a fleet wide enough that you never overpay for capacity you don't need. Call 657-822-1910 any time for a free, no-obligation quote.
Party Bus Orange coordinates group transportation for every occasion across Tustin and greater Orange County — from airport transfers at John Wayne to wedding shuttles winding through Old Towne Orange. Whatever brings your group together, we have a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 657-822-1910 to get started.
John Wayne Airport (SNA) (18601 Airport Way, Santa Ana, CA 92707) sits roughly five miles southwest of Tustin — close enough that the transfer looks easy on a map, and messy enough in practice that groups traveling together almost always split up getting there. Terminal C handles the bulk of departures; commercial bus and van pickup is on the lower Arrivals/Baggage Claim level, curbside at the designated Ground Transportation zones outside each terminal.
For a large group, the math is simple: coordinating a dozen individual rideshares to SNA during the morning rush on the 55 costs more and takes longer than one Tustin airport shuttle bus that picks everyone up at a single address. We track delays and adjust timing accordingly — if the inbound flight from Denver slides an hour, your group isn't stranded at the curb. Have your group coordinator call us once everyone has luggage in hand; we'll be curbside at the right door.
We also serve Los Angeles International (LAX) for groups whose routing makes the longer drive worthwhile. Call 657-822-1910 to book your SNA transfer today.
Orange County's bar and nightlife circuit gives a bachelorette group everything it needs in a tight radius — rooftop cocktails at the Anaheim Packing House (440 S Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92805), dinner along the Irvine Spectrum, late nights in Laguna Beach, and a craft brewery crawl through Santa Ana's SOCO district. The problem is those stops are spread across three cities and two freeways, and once the night is fully underway, no one in formalwear wants to be the one navigating the 5 to the 405.
A Tustin bachelorette party bus handles the whole night. Build the custom stop list, call us, and the route is handled — no drawing straws for who stays sober, no splitting the group across rideshares between bars. Our party buses come with a full-length bar, wraparound LED lighting, and premium sound for the playlist the guest of honor actually wants.
Everyone boards together, arrives together, and gets home together. Call 657-822-1910 to build your itinerary.
A party bus arrival turns any celebration venue in Orange County into a moment. Whether the guest of honor is turning 16 and heading to a rented ballroom at the Irvine Marriott, celebrating a quinceañera reception in Santa Ana, or marking a milestone birthday with dinner at the Anaheim Packing House followed by a nightcap in downtown Orange, the bus is the experience before the experience.
Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come in a range of colors — white, black, and silver available for theme coordination — and the LED lighting, onboard sound system, and bar setup can all be customized around your color scheme and playlist in advance. We also carry a wide enough variety that you only pay for the seats you need: a 20-person Sweet 16 doesn't need the same vehicle as a 45-person birthday blowout. Call 657-822-1910 to plan your Tustin birthday party bus rental.
The two dominant concert venues for Tustin groups are Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806) and Great Park Live (6000 Great Park Blvd, Irvine, CA 92618), and both create the same problem on show nights: the parking situation is manageable until it suddenly isn't. Honda Center's nearby lots fill fast for arena-capacity shows, and the walk from the overflow structure on Katella stacks up quickly when 18,000 people are moving at once. Great Park Live is an outdoor amphitheater that funnels traffic onto Marine Way and Great Park Boulevard, where post-show gridlock runs well past midnight on sold-out nights.
A Tustin concert bus rental handles both venues cleanly. Your group boards at home, the bus drops everyone at the venue entrance, and it's back when the show ends — no circling, no $35 parking, no waiting for a surge-priced ride that's showing 22 minutes out. Our party buses come with a built-in bar, Bluetooth sound, and LED lighting that turn the drive into the pre-show.
Call 657-822-1910 to lock in your date.
The Anaheim Convention Center (800 W Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92802) draws some of the country's largest trade shows — NAMM in January, Natural Products Expo West in March, and D23 in years it runs — and every one of them clogs Katella Avenue from Harbor to Disney Way hours before doors open. Groups staying in Tustin-area hotels along the 5 corridor have a short drive on paper and a genuinely painful one on the day.
A Tustin corporate bus rental solves the logistics in one call. We shuttle your team from the hotel to the convention center drop-off zone, the bus waits for the day, and runs evening returns after the reception. For smaller executive transfers between the Irvine Spectrum, the Tustin Legacy development, or UCI research campus, a 15-passenger minibus keeps the group together and on schedule without burning time on carpool coordination.
WiFi and power outlets on board mean the commute is billable. Call 657-822-1910 to set up your corporate shuttle.
The Tustin Street Fair, held annually every November along El Camino Real, draws tens of thousands of visitors to a tight stretch of Old Town Tustin where street parking disappears within the first hour and the surrounding residential neighborhoods post restricted parking signs. Groups who try to drive in and find a spot individually spend more time hunting than celebrating.
The same logic applies to the OC Fair at the OC Fair & Event Center (88 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626) every July and August — the Newport Boulevard approach backs up for miles on weekends, and the most accessible lots reach capacity before noon on peak days. One charter bus or minibus rental keeps your whole group together for one flat rate, drops you at the gate, and cuts out the parking question entirely. Family reunions, church retreats, and graduation parties across the Tustin and Irvine area all benefit from the same setup.
Call 657-822-1910 and we'll build the itinerary around your event.
Prom season in Tustin and the surrounding Tustin Unified schools — Foothill High School, Tustin High School, and the Beckman crowd heading to Orange-area venues — runs from late April through the third week of May. Every Orange County high school within a twenty-mile radius holds its prom in the same six-week window, and the charter bus and party bus supply across the county tightens fast.
For prom: book by January or expect premium pricing and limited availability by March. A typical 6-hour prom rental for 30 students — school pickup, photo stop at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club or Peters Canyon Regional Park, venue drop-off, and after-party return — lands at $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when booked five months out. That same rental quoted in late March or April runs $2,800–$3,400+.
Parent committees across Tustin Unified book with us regularly; we coordinate pickup plans, chaperone logistics, and custom timelines. Call 657-822-1910 to secure your date.
Teachers and administrators at Tustin Unified schools trust Party Bus Orange for field trips because the logistics are genuinely straightforward: one call, one vehicle sized to your headcount, one pickup at the school's front loop. Popular destinations from Tustin include the Discovery Cube Orange County (2500 N Main St, Santa Ana, CA 92705) — about four miles from most Tustin campuses — and the Bowers Museum (2002 N Main St, Santa Ana, CA 92706), which handles school group arrivals through a designated entrance on 20th Street.
Charter buses offer real advantages over yellow school buses for longer runs: reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage for lunches and backpacks, and TV monitors for educational content on the way. For field trips to the Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda or Irvine's San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, onboard storage keeps the cabin clear and restrooms on select vehicles eliminate roadside stops. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know in advance.
Call 657-822-1910 to book your Tustin school field trip bus.
Tustin sits at the geographic midpoint of Orange County's two major sports venues, which makes both a predictable pain to reach on event days. Angel Stadium (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806) draws 40,000+ on busy Halos nights, and the Katella Avenue and State College Boulevard corridor backs up hours before first pitch — the $20 preferred lots adjacent to the stadium fill earliest, leaving fans in the outer $15 areas a genuine hike from the gates. Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave), directly across from Angel Stadium, compounds the traffic picture on nights when both venues have events simultaneously.
A Tustin party bus or charter bus rental sidesteps all of it. Your group travels together, the route is handled, and the bus drops everyone near the stadium entrance. For fan groups wanting to start the tailgate early, our 15- to 50-passenger party buses have a built-in bar and sound system that turn the drive from Tustin into the pregame.
Call 657-822-1910 for your game-day bus rental.
Tustin and the surrounding Orange County corridor host some of Southern California's most sought-after wedding venues — Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club in Rancho Santa Margarita, the historic Nixon Presidential Library & Museum grounds in Yorba Linda, vineyard receptions in Temecula's wine country, and waterfront ceremonies in Newport Beach. The guest shuttle problem is the same at all of them: out-of-town guests don't know the roads, nobody wants to navigate the 241 toll road in formal wear at 11pm, and valet lines at popular reception venues get long fast on Saturday nights.
A Tustin wedding shuttle keeps your guests on schedule and off the freeway. We set up staggered loops from the hotels, wait between ceremony and reception, and time the final returns so nobody gets left behind. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo also handles the bridal party on the wedding day itself — premium leather, privacy glass, and room for the dress.
Your timeline stays tight from first pickup to final drop-off. Call 657-822-1910 for a free wedding transportation quote.
Temecula wine country is roughly 50 miles southeast of Tustin — a straightforward drive down the 15 that becomes a very different situation after four tastings. The wine trail along Rancho California Road runs through more than two dozen wineries, and the ones that get booked for group tours fastest — Ponte Winery (35053 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591), Wilson Creek Winery (35960 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591), and Leoness Cellars (38311 De Portola Rd, Temecula, CA 92592) — all require a sober, focused drive through hillside vineyard roads to reach. Your group stays together in one vehicle, and the drive back takes care of itself.
For pub crawls closer to home, Santa Ana's SOCO Arts District along 17th Street and 4th Street offers a concentrated stretch of craft beer bars and cocktail lounges within walking distance of each other. One minibus keeps your crew moving between stops without anyone having to stay sober. Call 657-822-1910 for a free quote on your Tustin winery tour or pub crawl bus rental.

We celebrated together on this and it made the whole night memorable. The lighting was so fun for photos and the seating kept everyone comfortable and close. Cruising through Tustin without anyone driving was such a relief. Booking ahead was simple and everything happened right on schedule. I can't think of a better way to get a group out for a good time.

Ignatius P.
Booked this for an outing with friends and the experience was great from start to finish. The bus was roomy and immaculate, the music kept us going, and the ride felt like part of the celebration. No stress about parking or getting home. The team was easy to work with and everything arrived on time. We'll be recommending them to everyone we know.
Bronwen H.
We rented this for a special evening and it was worth every bit. The whole group fit comfortably and the atmosphere inside got everyone in a celebratory mood right away. Rolling around the city without worrying about logistics was fantastic. The booking was clear and the people were friendly and helpful. A fun, smooth experience that made the night truly memorable.
Desmond R.
Got this for a group celebration and it delivered exactly what we wanted. Comfortable seating, a strong sound system, and lighting that made the ride a party in itself. Everyone could relax knowing we'd all get home safe. The reservation was painless and the pricing was upfront. It turned what could've been a logistics headache into the easiest part of the night.
Tustin party bus and charter bus rental prices vary based on vehicle size, the specific date, and how many hours your itinerary runs. General ranges from our network: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Weekend dates, peak OC Fair season (July–August), and prom season (late April through May) land toward the top of those ranges.
The fastest way to get an exact number is our 30-second online quote tool — or call 657-822-1910 and we'll build it for you on the spot.
Charter buses and commercial vehicles serving Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806) drop passengers at the designated commercial vehicle zones on Katella Avenue, with the main guest entrances accessible from both the north and south sides of the arena. Event nights with both Honda Center and Angel Stadium active — the venues share the same complex — close the Katella/Gene Autry Way intersection to through traffic, so the approach route shifts. We confirm the current drop-off lane and approach for your specific event date when you book.
For current event-night access and parking details, check the official Honda Center directions and parking page before your visit.
At John Wayne Airport (SNA) (18601 Airport Way, Santa Ana, CA 92707), commercial bus and van pickups are handled on the lower Arrivals/Baggage Claim level, curbside at the designated Ground Transportation zones outside Terminals A, B, and C. Once your full group has collected luggage and is assembled at the agreed-upon terminal door, your group coordinator calls us to confirm the bus moves from its nearby staging area to the curb. SNA limits commercial loading times, so we coordinate the call to minimize wait time. Don't call for the bus until the entire group is together with bags — coordinating a staggered pickup across terminals adds time that compounds fast at a busy curbside.
For current ground transportation details, review the official SNA ground transportation page before you land.
The Tustin Street Fair runs along El Camino Real through Old Town Tustin every November — typically the first weekend of the month — and draws tens of thousands of visitors to a stretch of downtown where street parking evaporates before 10am on both days. The residential streets east of Prospect Avenue and north of Main Street post permit-only restrictions during the fair, and the Tustin Metrolink station lot fills by mid-morning. Groups of 10 or more who try to drive in independently typically spend 20–30 minutes just finding a space, often several blocks from the fair entrance.
A single minibus or charter bus rental keeps your whole group together, drops at the El Camino Real entrance, and removes the parking question entirely. Book well ahead — November weekends in Orange County move fast.
Yes — and for groups of 15 or more, it's almost always the smarter call. Disneyland Resort (1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802) sits roughly seven miles northwest of Tustin, a drive that looks like 15 minutes on a map and runs 30–45 minutes in practice on a busy resort morning once you factor in the Harbor Boulevard approach. The resort's preferred parking structure charges $35+ per vehicle on peak days and fills early enough that late arrivals are routed to the Mickey & Friends structure with a tram ride to the entrance.
One charter bus or party bus handles your entire group for a single parking cost, drops everyone steps from the security checkpoint at the main entrance, and cuts out the vehicle-by-vehicle caravan. Call 657-822-1910 for a Disneyland group quote.
For most Tustin-area occasions — a birthday outing, a winery run to Temecula, a corporate shuttle — booking two to four weeks out is workable, though earlier always gives you better vehicle selection and pricing. For high-demand dates, book further out: prom season (late April through May) requires booking by January to avoid premium pricing or no availability; OC Fair weekends in July and August move fast by mid-June; Disneyland resort weekends over spring break and summer sell out the smaller vehicles first. Tustin Street Fair weekend in November and the Anaheim Convention Center's major shows in January (NAMM) and March (Natural Products Expo) both create local surges in demand.
When your date is confirmed, calling 657-822-1910 right away is always the move.
Tustin sits in the heart of Orange County, minutes from some of Southern California's most-visited venues, parks, and entertainment districts. Here's a look at the destinations our Tustin groups reach most often — with the local logistics that matter when you're moving a group.
Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806) is home to the Anaheim Ducks and hosts major concerts and touring shows year-round, with a capacity of 18,336. It sits directly across Katella Avenue from Angel Stadium, which creates a genuine traffic nightmare on the roughly two dozen nights each year when both venues have events running simultaneously. The on-site Arena Parking Structure charges $20–$30 per vehicle depending on the event, and Katella fills from State College Boulevard westward hours before puck drop on playoff nights.
The Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC) is a short walk from the arena and connects to Metrolink and OCTA bus service — useful for smaller groups but not practical for a 30-person fan crew with coolers. A charter bus drops your group at the commercial vehicle zone on Katella, the bus waits nearby during the game, and is back at the curb when the final horn sounds.
Address: 2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806
Phone: (714) 704-2500
Angel Stadium (2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806) seats 45,517 and hosts the Los Angeles Angels from April through September, with playoff games pushing into October. The stadium's preferred Lot A and Lot B fill early on sellout nights, and the outer lots along State College Boulevard and Orangewood Avenue — further from the gates — are what most late arrivals end up with. Getting there from Tustin means navigating the 57/91 interchange or taking Katella Avenue directly, both of which slow considerably on Friday and Saturday night games.
The Anaheim Canyon Metrolink station is a 20-minute walk from the stadium's Left Field Gate — a legitimate option for one or two people, not so much for a group with tailgate gear. Charter buses park in the designated oversized vehicle section of the stadium lots, pre-purchased. One bus moves your entire crew together and keeps tailgate equipment in the undercarriage bays.
Address: 2000 E Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, CA 92806
Phone: (714) 940-2000
Disneyland Resort (1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802) encompasses Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, the Downtown Disney District, and three resort hotels on roughly 500 acres. The resort draws roughly 18–20 million visitors annually across both parks, making it consistently one of the ten most-attended theme parks in the world. For groups arriving by charter bus, the designated motorcoach and charter bus drop-off is at the Harbor Boulevard bus loading zone, just north of the resort main entrance, with buses directed to oversized vehicle parking in the resort's structured lots.
Peak-season days — summer, spring break, and holiday weekends — see the Mickey & Friends and Pixar Pals structures fill before 11am. One charter bus replaces a half-dozen cars and their separate parking fees, and drops the entire group in one spot. We recommend checking the official Disneyland transportation and directions page for current charter bus drop-off procedures before your visit.
Address: 1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802
Phone: (714) 781-4636
The OC Fair & Event Center (88 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626) hosts the OC Fair every July and August — a roughly five-week run that draws over a million visitors and backs up Newport Boulevard from the 405 interchange south through Costa Mesa for hours on weekend afternoons. The main surface lots adjacent to the fairgrounds fill before noon on busy Saturdays; overflow parking pushes into surrounding neighborhood streets where the city enforces timed parking restrictions. The fairgrounds also hosts the Pacific Amphitheatre for summer concerts and Imaginology in spring.
A charter bus drops your group at the main entrance gate off Fair Drive, cutting out the parking question entirely. For groups coming from Tustin, the route down the 55 to Newport Boulevard is straightforward — the 55 southbound is far less congested than the I-5 approach from the north. Check the official OC Fair parking page for current lot status before your visit.

Great Park Live (6000 Great Park Blvd, Irvine, CA 92618) is an outdoor amphitheater complex at the Great Park in Irvine, one of Orange County's major new concert venues with a capacity for large lawn and seated shows. The venue sits off Marine Way in the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station site, and the post-show traffic on Great Park Boulevard and the 5 on-ramps backs up significantly after high-capacity shows. Rideshare surge pricing spikes immediately after headliners end, with waits running 15–25 minutes on sold-out nights.
Parking in the adjacent Great Park lots is pre-purchased for most major events, with general lots filling in the final hour before showtime. From Tustin, the drive via the 5 South to Great Park Boulevard runs under 15 minutes in normal conditions — less than five miles. A party bus from Tustin gets your group there together, turns the drive into the pre-show, and is back at the gate when the encore ends.
Address: 6000 Great Park Blvd, Irvine, CA 92618
Knott's Berry Farm (8039 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620) is California's oldest theme park, covering 160 acres with more than 40 rides and attractions including GhostRider, HangTime, and the Calico River Rapids. The park draws significant groups for Knott's Scary Farm in October — a separately ticketed Halloween event that runs Thursday through Sunday nights and generates its own enormous traffic backup on Beach Boulevard north of La Palma Avenue. General parking in the Knott's main lots runs $25–$35 per vehicle; oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is available in designated sections of the main lot.
For youth groups and school trips, Knott's runs an active group sales program with discounted tickets for parties of 15 or more. From Tustin, the drive runs about 15 miles north on the 5 to the 91 West, then Beach Boulevard north. One minibus or charter bus covers any group size, keeps everyone together, and parks once.
