See live pricing & availability in seconds!
Party Bus Fontana has been handling group transportation across the Inland Empire since 2011 — more than 15 years of getting groups to arenas, wineries, airports, proms, and everything in between without the headache of carpooling or hunting for parking. We know the 91, the 60, the 15, and the surface streets that clog up around downtown Riverside on event nights because we cover those routes constantly. Whether you need a single minibus for a company outing in the Galleria at Tyler district or a full-size charter bus for a 56-person school group heading to the California Citrus State Historic Park, the pricing is all-inclusive, locked in before you ever book, and built around your exact headcount — you never pay for seats you do not actually need.
Our reservation team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. Call 323-380-3985 any time, describe your trip, and we'll match you with the right vehicle at the right price — no guesswork, no surprises on pickup day.
Our network of vehicles ranges from 14-passenger Sprinter limos for bridal parties and VIP transfers to 15–35 passenger minibuses for mid-size groups, 15–50 passenger party buses for celebration nights, and 40–56 passenger charter buses for large corporate shuttles, school field trips, and convention transfers. One fleet, every group size.
Party buses in our fleet come loaded with color-changing LED lighting, a built-in bar, wraparound perimeter seating, flat-panel TVs, and a premium Bluetooth sound system — the party starts on the 91 and doesn't stop at the door. Minibuses bring reclining seats and powerful climate control, a real advantage when Riverside summers push the thermometer past 100 degrees. Full-size charter buses add WiFi, power outlets, overhead storage, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage bays deep enough for luggage, presentation gear, or a cooler full of tailgate supplies.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available across the fleet — just let us know when you book.

Riverside party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, event date, and total hours. Here is what to expect: 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 for full-day itineraries.
Weekend rates run higher than weekday rates, and peak dates like prom season (April–May), Riverside's Street Scramble in October, and graduation weekends in June push demand — the earlier you lock in, the better the price.

Coordinating a group in Riverside means navigating the 91 Freeway corridor during rush hour, a downtown core that floods with pedestrians on First Thursday Art Walk nights, and stadium parking that sells out before kickoff at Wheelhouse District events. A Riverside party bus rental from Party Bus Fontana sidesteps all of it. Your group boards at one address, arrives at the door, and skips the parking scramble entirely — while the cost splits across every seat and often lands below what each person would have spent driving and parking individually.
Since 2011, Party Bus Fontana has handled thousands of Inland Empire group trips — prom nights, wedding shuttles, casino runs to Yaamava', wine tours down to Temecula, and convention transfers at the Riverside Convention Center. Our 24/7 reservation team stays on top of road closures, event-night parking restrictions, and venue drop-off rules so your group gets the right spot, not the wrong lot a quarter mile away. Get an all-inclusive price quote in under 30 seconds at 323-380-3985 or online — the rate you see is the rate you pay.
Party Bus Fontana handles every kind of group trip in and out of Riverside. From airport transfers at Ontario International to wedding shuttles through the Mission Inn District, here is a closer look at the services we handle most often across the 951.
Ontario International Airport (ONT) (2900 E Airport Dr, Ontario, CA 91761) sits roughly 15 miles west of downtown Riverside via I-10 — close on paper, punishing in practice when a Thursday afternoon flight lands during peak-hour westbound traffic on the 10. Picking up a group at ONT without a private bus means juggling multiple rideshares at the Rideshare Pickup Zone on Terminal Way, hoping everyone's bags clear at the same time, and watching surge pricing spike as your group spills out of the arrivals hall in ones and twos. A Riverside airport shuttle bus rental from Party Bus Fontana keeps it simple: one vehicle waits at ONT's Ground Transportation area, everyone loads together once bags are collected, and the group rides straight to the hotel, the venue, or the next stop on the itinerary.
For larger conventions arriving at Los Angeles International (LAX) or San Bernardino International (SBD), a charter bus handles the full transfer with undercarriage bays for checked luggage and no layover stop required. Call 323-380-3985 to book your Riverside airport transportation today.
A Riverside bachelorette party bus rental keeps the night moving without any member of the group drawing the short straw on who stays sober. Start with dinner at a restaurant on Mission Inn Avenue, walk into the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa's courtyard for cocktails, then load up and head out to the bars on University Avenue near UCR — and nobody has to worry about how the group gets back to the hotel at 1 a.m. The party buses in our network carry color-changing LED lighting, a full-length bar, Bluetooth sound, and flat-panel TVs, so the energy is already built in before the first stop.
For bachelor groups that want to push the night further, the casino floor at Yaamava' Resort & Casino (777 San Manuel Blvd, Highland, CA 92346) is about 20 minutes north on the 215 — a natural late addition to any Riverside celebration itinerary. Call 323-380-3985 to plan your night and lock in the bus.
Riverside has one of the most vibrant quinceañera and Sweet 16 cultures in Southern California, and a party bus arrival at the venue is the entrance that sets the tone for the entire night. Our 15–50 passenger party buses can be pre-loaded with a custom playlist, matched to a color scheme, and routed to stop for photos at the rose garden in Fairmount Park (2601 Park Ave, Riverside, CA 92506) before pulling up to the reception venue — the kind of detail that guests talk about for years.
For milestone adult birthdays, a night that runs from rooftop drinks in downtown Riverside to a late stop at Yaamava' can be built into a single bus itinerary with a round-trip return — no one calling for a rideshare at midnight, no group fragmenting across the IE. Tell us the stops and the headcount, and we will handle the rest. Call 323-380-3985 any time to plan your Riverside birthday bus rental.
The Fox Performing Arts Center (3801 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501) books everything from touring Broadway productions to nationally headlining musicians in a beautifully restored 1929 movie palace in the heart of downtown Riverside. Parking in the blocks around Mission Inn Avenue runs tight on show nights, and the city-owned garages on 4th Street and Orange Street fill well before curtain. A Riverside concert party bus rental drops your group curbside on Mission Inn Avenue and returns when the lights come back up — no circling downtown, no meter anxiety, no splitting the group into separate cars after the last encore.
Glen Helen Amphitheater in nearby San Bernardino draws festival crowds in the tens of thousands and is a regular stop for our charter bus network — a full-size bus handles the gear, the group, and the post-show exit without anyone stuck in the lot waiting for rideshare availability to recover. Call 323-380-3985 for a concert bus quote.
The Riverside Convention Center (3637 5th St, Riverside, CA 92501) sits adjacent to the Marriott and overlooks the 91 — a clean drop for a charter bus coming down off the freeway, with commercial vehicle staging on 5th Street in front of the main entrance. The garage clearance underneath is 8 feet, which means a full-size coach stays street-side while attendees walk straight through the glass doors, no detour required.
For multi-day conferences, a recurring shuttle between the downtown Riverside hotels — the Mission Inn, the Marriott, the Courtyard on Market — and the convention center cuts out the per-person parking cost entirely and keeps your team on a predictable schedule. WiFi and power outlets on charter buses mean the commute becomes prep time. Companies with campuses in the Riverside Corporate Center near the 215 and Alessandro Boulevard also use our minibus shuttles for daily employee transfers from Metrolink's Riverside-Downtown station.
Call 323-380-3985 to discuss a Riverside corporate shuttle arrangement.
The National Orange Show Events Center (689 S E St, San Bernardino, CA 92408) sits about 10 miles up the 215 from downtown Riverside and draws massive crowds for its annual festival in May as well as concerts, trade shows, and motorsport events throughout the year. Parking at the NOS fills from the main E Street entrance outward, and on peak festival days the surface lots overflow onto side streets with shuttle service that runs inconsistently. One charter bus from Party Bus Fontana drops your group at the front gate and waits nearby, so post-event exit is on your schedule, not the shuttle's.
Family reunions hitting multiple Inland Empire stops — Fairmount Park, the California Citrus State Historic Park, dinner in downtown — run cleaner on one bus than on a five-car caravan that splits up at every turn. For recurring community events, church retreats, and holiday parties, we build custom routes around your itinerary. Call 323-380-3985 to plan your Riverside private event transportation.
Prom season runs hard from late April through mid-May across the Riverside Unified and Alvord Unified school districts, and demand for party buses in the 951 spikes sharply. Norte Vista High, Poly High, John North, Arlington, and UCR's spring formals all compete for the same pool of available vehicles inside a six-week window. For Riverside prom: book by January or expect to pay a premium — or find nothing left.
A typical Riverside prom itinerary — school-campus pickup, a photo stop at the historic Mission Inn (3649 Mission Inn Ave), dinner in downtown Riverside, venue drop-off, and a return run after the dance — runs 5–6 hours and costs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when booked months ahead. Last-minute bookings the same weekend routinely run $2,800–$3,500 or come back unavailable entirely. Parent committees and student groups both work with our reservation team to build prom transportation packages.
Call 323-380-3985 to get the date on the calendar.
The California Citrus State Historic Park (1879 Jackson St, Riverside, CA 92504) is the single most-requested Riverside field trip destination — a 248-acre working grove and living museum that tells the story of the citrus industry that built the Inland Empire. Bus drop-off is in the main lot off Jackson Street, with shade structures and picnic areas that make a full school-day visit genuinely comfortable even in late spring heat. The park's education team coordinates group visits, but the parking area is limited for oversized vehicles, so a single well-timed charter bus is cleaner than three separate school buses converging on the same lot.
The Riverside Metropolitan Museum (3580 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501) offers free admission for school groups and is within walking distance of the Fox Performing Arts Center for combined cultural day trips. Full-size charter buses on our network include TVs, a PA system, and undercarriage storage for backpacks and lunch coolers — a real comfort upgrade over a standard yellow bus. ADA-accessible vehicles are available; give us a heads-up when you book.
Call 323-380-3985 for Riverside school field trip bus rentals.
The Wheelhouse District anchors Riverside's sports scene — UCR basketball at the SRC Arena, community events on the plaza, and regular gatherings that pack University Avenue on game nights. But the most-requested sporting event run from Riverside is a charter bus to the Big A in Anaheim for an Angels game, roughly 45 miles west on the 91 with game-night traffic that turns a 40-minute drive into a 90-minute crawl. Angel Stadium's preferred lot for oversized vehicles is Lot E off State College Boulevard — a $20 pre-purchased pass — and rideshare pickup after the final out is a 20-minute walk from the stadium gates to the designated lot on Katella Avenue.
A Riverside sporting event charter bus handles the whole group on one predictable trip.
Soccer fans can charter a bus to Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson for LA Galaxy matches, and hockey groups regularly book Inland Empire 66ers game nights at San Manuel Stadium (280 South E St, San Bernardino, CA 92401) as part of a broader evening itinerary. Call 323-380-3985 to book your Riverside sporting event transportation.
Riverside is a sought-after wedding market — the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa (3649 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501) is one of the most iconic wedding venues in Southern California, and the Spanish Colonial courtyard books out 18 months in advance for Saturday ceremonies. The hotel's valet situation on Emerald Street is capacity-limited on busy wedding weekends, and guests staying at the Marriott or the Courtyard a few blocks away face a real walk in formalwear on a hot June evening. A Riverside wedding shuttle bus rental loops between the hotels and the Mission Inn entrance on a clean, timed schedule so no guest arrives flustered or late.
For receptions at venues outside the downtown core — Galway Downs in Temecula, the Stratford House in Loma Linda — a minibus with a fixed shuttle route means guests don't have to navigate unfamiliar hillside roads in the dark after an open bar. Party Bus Fontana has coordinated Riverside wedding shuttles since 2011; from your first quote to final drop-off, there is one point of contact. Call 323-380-3985 for a free Riverside wedding transportation quote.
Temecula Valley Wine Country sits about 35 miles south of Riverside down the 15 — close enough for a full-day tour, far enough that you absolutely do not want anyone in the group behind the wheel on the return trip. The Temecula wine corridor along Rancho California Road hosts more than 40 tasting rooms, from large estates like Thornton Winery (32575 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591) to boutique producers with limited hours and narrow driveways that make parking a charter bus a real coordination challenge. A Riverside party bus rental handles the approach and parking at each winery while your group focuses on the flight.
Closer to home, the brewery scene along University Avenue and in downtown Riverside — Inland Wharf Brewing, Dos Lagos Brewing, and the taprooms clustered near the Fox — makes for a walkable pub crawl that a minibus connects perfectly between start and end points. No one gets separated, no one needs a rideshare at midnight. Call 323-380-3985 to plan your Riverside winery tour or pub crawl transportation.

Such a stress-free experience. They were responsive when I booked, arrived early, and the ride was comfortable the whole way. The group loved having space to move around and chat. The price was exactly what we agreed on. It made the whole occasion feel special and easy.

Amir B.
Booked it last minute and they still made it happen without a hitch. The bus showed up early, looked great, and the ride was smooth and fun. Everyone was impressed with how roomy and clean it was. Fair pricing and friendly help throughout. Saved our group's whole plan.
Coralie T.
From start to finish it was a great experience. The quote was honest, the bus was lovely inside, and the ride got us everywhere on time. We all traveled together and had a blast the whole way. Nobody had to be the designated driver. We'll definitely book again soon.
Jamal K.
The whole thing was easy and fun. Quick booking, on-time pickup, and a clean comfortable ride with plenty of room. The group could finally enjoy the trip together without anyone worrying about directions or parking. The price was fair for the size of our crew. Highly recommend.
Riverside party bus rental prices vary by vehicle size, event date, and total hours booked. General ranges: 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 per day. Weekend dates and peak seasons (prom in April–May, graduation in June, holiday weekends) push rates higher.
The fastest way to get a firm, all-inclusive number for your specific date is to call 323-380-3985 — Party Bus Fontana provides exact pricing in under 30 seconds with no hidden costs.
Spring and fall weekends in Temecula — especially April through June and September through November — book out fast. Saturday slots for parties of 15 or more can disappear six to eight weeks out, and holiday weekends like Memorial Day and Labor Day are gone months ahead. If your group has a confirmed date, call 323-380-3985 immediately to lock it in.
Weekday wine tours have better availability at lower rates year-round.
Yes. Commercial vehicle staging on Mission Inn Avenue is available curbside in front of the hotel's main entrance on the south side of the street. For weddings and large events, Party Bus Fontana coordinates drop-off timing with your venue contact to avoid conflicts with valet operations.
The nearest parking for the bus during a multi-hour event is the city-owned structure on Orange Street, about one block north. We confirm the exact staging plan for your specific event date when you book.
ONT handles roughly 100 daily departures and arrivals, and delays — especially during summer thunderstorm season over the desert — are not uncommon. When you book an airport transfer with Party Bus Fontana, your flight is tracked from the moment you reserve. If arrival time shifts, the pickup adjusts with it.
Your group coordinator calls us once everyone has luggage in hand and is ready at the Ground Transportation area on the Arrivals level — the bus waits nearby and pulls up on your signal. No one waits at the curb for a bus that hasn't been told the flight landed early or late.
Absolutely — multi-stop hotel pickups are one of the most common configurations for Riverside wedding shuttles. A minibus or charter bus runs a timed loop from the Riverside Marriott, the Mission Inn, or wherever your hotel block is confirmed, with staggered departure windows built into the schedule so guests at each stop have a clear boarding time. We build the route around your ceremony start and your reception end, and coordinate return loops throughout the evening.
One point of contact, one flat rate, zero guest scramble. Call 323-380-3985 to map out your Riverside wedding shuttle circuit.
For most Riverside events, booking three to six months ahead gets you the best vehicle selection at the best rate. Prom season (April–May) is the tightest window in the 951 — book by January or availability disappears. Temecula wine tour weekends, UCR graduation in June, and major concert dates at the Fox or Glen Helen fill the fleet quickly.
For private events and corporate shuttles, two to four weeks of lead time is workable outside peak season — but the earlier you call, the better your options. Call 323-380-3985 to get your date on the calendar.
Riverside has no shortage of places worth gathering a group for — arenas, historic parks, world-class concert venues, a casino corridor up the 215, and wine country 35 miles south. Here are six destinations our groups visit most often and what to know before the bus rolls.
The Fox Performing Arts Center is a fully restored Spanish Renaissance movie palace from 1929 that now seats 1,700 for Broadway touring productions, comedy specials, and nationally headlining concerts. The venue sits on Mission Inn Avenue in the heart of downtown Riverside, flanked by restaurants and bars that make a pre-show dinner and a post-show drink easy additions to any group itinerary. Parking in the blocks directly around the Fox fills before curtain on sold-out shows — the city garages on 4th Street and on Orange Street are the overflow options, both about a three-minute walk.
A party bus drops your group curbside on Mission Inn Avenue and returns at will-call time, which is the clean move on any sold-out night. Call 323-380-3985 to book.
Address: 3801 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501
Phone: (951) 779-9800
The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa is a National Historic Landmark — a sprawling Spanish Colonial complex built between 1876 and 1931 that occupies a full city block downtown and has hosted every U.S. president from Taft to Nixon. The hotel's courtyards, rotunda, and bell tower make it the most photographed wedding venue in the Inland Empire, and the annual Festival of Lights from November through January draws crowds of 200,000 or more to the surrounding blocks, causing significant parking and traffic gridlock along Market and Orange Streets. For both wedding shuttles and Festival of Lights group visits, a Riverside charter bus delivers your group to the Mission Inn Avenue entrance and stays clear of the congestion.
Check the Mission Inn Hotel's events page for Festival of Lights dates and any street closure notices before your visit.

California Citrus State Historic Park preserves 248 acres of working citrus groves in the Arlington Heights neighborhood — the birthplace of the navel orange in the United States, where the Washington navel variety was first cultivated in 1873. The park is open Thursday through Sunday, with interpretive exhibits in the Visitor Center, guided grove walks, and seasonal events including a Harvest Festival each fall. School groups are the park's largest audience, and field trip reservations can be made through the California State Parks education office.
Bus drop-off is in the main parking lot off Jackson Street; the lot handles oversized vehicles, but volume is limited on busy field trip mornings, so a single coordinated charter bus beats multiple vehicles arriving at separate times.
Address: 1879 Jackson St, Riverside, CA 92504
Phone: (951) 780-6222
The Riverside Convention Center offers 48,000 square feet of flexible event space adjacent to the downtown Marriott and is the primary conference and expo venue for the 951. Commercial vehicle drop-off runs along 5th Street in front of the main entrance, with room for multiple coaches during load-in and load-out windows on large convention days. The on-site parking structure has an 8-foot clearance limit — charter buses cannot enter and remain on the street.
For multi-day conferences, a recurring shuttle between downtown hotel blocks and the convention center keeps attendees on schedule and cuts out the per-person parking cost that adds up fast across a three-day event. WiFi and power outlets on our charter buses mean the shuttle ride becomes a productive 10 minutes rather than dead time.
Address: 3637 5th St, Riverside, CA 92501
Phone: (951) 779-1350
Yaamava' Resort & Casino sits about 18 miles north of downtown Riverside on the 215 and has become the premier casino destination in the Inland Empire following its major expansion, which added a 432-room hotel tower, a spa, and a concert venue that books national headliners. The casino runs a complimentary shuttle from several Inland Empire cities, but those routes operate on fixed schedules that rarely line up with when a group actually wants to leave. A charter bus from Party Bus Fontana runs on your schedule — depart when you choose, stay as long as the table is hot, and head home when the group is ready.
Charter buses have dedicated oversized parking in Yaamava's main lot off San Manuel Boulevard. Call 323-380-3985 to book your casino night.

Temecula Valley Wine Country stretches along Rancho California Road about 35 miles south of Riverside via I-15, with more than 40 wineries concentrated in a five-mile corridor through the De Portola and Rancho California wine trails. The region produces Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier, and Rhône-style blends in a climate shaped by afternoon breezes off the Pacific through the Rainbow Gap. Popular group estates include Thornton Winery (32575 Rancho California Rd), South Coast Winery (34843 Rancho California Rd), and Ponte Winery (35053 Rancho California Rd), each offering seated tasting experiences and restaurant service that pairs well with a full afternoon visit.
Bus parking is available at most estates, though a few smaller boutique producers have tight driveways — worth confirming when the itinerary is built. We know which stops work cleanly for charter buses and which need a creative staging plan.
