A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Santa Cruz Warriors at Kaiser Permanente Arena
For basketball fans in the Central Coast, nothing beats the high-energy atmosphere of a Santa Cruz Warriors game. As the G-League affiliate of the Golden State Warriors, this team brings top-tier talent right to downtown Santa Cruz. Located at 140 Front St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060, the Kaiser Permanente Arena provides an intimate setting where every seat feels close to the action. However, downtown Santa Cruz traffic can be congested, particularly on game nights, and parking in the surrounding lots can be expensive and scarce. Instead of splitting your group into multiple rideshares or circling for street parking, book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Santa Cruz.
When you rent a bus for a Warriors game, your group can arrive together and in style. Your driver can drop you off right at the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the concessions or your seats without the hassle. After the final buzzer, your bus will be waiting to pick you up, perhaps to take you to a celebratory dinner at a local favorite like West End Tap & Kitchen (334D Ingalls St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) or to explore the nightlife on Pacific Avenue. Whether you are organizing a corporate team-building event, a school fundraiser, or just a night out with fellow basketball lovers, a charter bus ensures that everyone stays comfortable and the energy remains high from start to finish.
Experience Surf City USA: Group Transportation to the Coast
Santa Cruz isn't just a beach town; it is the authentic Surf City USA. For surf clubs, spectators of the O'Neill Coldwater Classic, or groups taking collective lessons, reliable transportation is essential. Surfing equipment is bulky, and trying to jam longboards and wetsuits into standard sedans is a recipe for damage and discomfort. With a full-size charter bus rental from Charter Bus Santa Cruz, you get massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for safely stowing surfboards, coolers, and beach gear. This leaves the cabin clutter-free so your group can stretch out in air-conditioned comfort on the way to the coast.
Your driver can navigate the scenic but winding coastal roads to drop your group at iconic spots like Steamer Lane (700 W Cliff Dr, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) near the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum, or the more beginner-friendly Cowell Beach. If you are hosting a viewing party for a major surf competition, a private shuttle serves as the perfect home base. You can retreat to the climate-controlled bus to cool off or warm up, recharge devices using onboard power outlets, and relax in reclining seats between heats. After a day in the salt and sun, no one wants to drive home in traffic on Highway 17. Let us handle the roads while you recap the day’s best waves with your group.
Support the UCSC Banana Slugs
University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) is known for its incredible redwood-forest campus and its unique mascot, the Banana Slug. Whether you are a visiting collegiate team playing against the Slugs or a group of alumni heading back to campus to support the home team, navigating the sprawling, hilly campus can be difficult for those unfamiliar with the area. The campus is located at 1156 High St, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, and finding parking near the West Field House or the tennis courts often involves long walks and confusing shuttles. Charter Bus Santa Cruz simplifies university athletics travel.
We provide efficient transportation for visiting rosters, ensuring that athletes arrive rested and focused. Our buses offer plenty of legroom for tall players and storage for uniforms and training equipment. For alumni groups and fans, a charter bus rental turns a game day into a reunion. We can pick your group up from hotels in Santa Cruz or nearby cities like San Jose and bring you directly to the athletic facilities. If you are planning a multi-day tournament or a campus tour for prospective student-athletes, we can build a custom itinerary that includes hotel transfers, game transport, and even sightseeing stops at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (400 Beach St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060).
Golf Outings at Historic Pasatiempo
For those who prefer competition on the fairway, Santa Cruz is home to one of the most revered golf courses in the country: Pasatiempo Golf Club (20 Clubhouse Rd, Santa Cruz, CA 95060). Designed by the legendary Alister MacKenzie, this course is a bucket-list destination for golfers worldwide. Organizing a corporate golf retreat or a large outing with friends requires logistical precision. You need to ensure that everyone arrives on time for their tee times and that expensive golf clubs are transported comfortably. Charter Bus Santa Cruz offers the perfect solution with our executive minibus and charter bus rentals.
A minibus is ideal for smaller groups of golfers, offering a luxurious ride with leather seating and plenty of room for clubs in the rear storage area. Your driver handles the navigation, allowing your group to mentally prepare for the course or enjoy a post-round celebration without worrying about a designated driver. We can also arrange transportation to other notable courses in the area, such as the DeLaveaga Golf Course (401 Upper Park Rd, Santa Cruz, CA 95065). With Charter Bus Santa Cruz, your golf trip becomes a seamless, VIP experience from the moment you leave your doorstep until you return.
Catch Major League Action in the Bay Area
One of the biggest advantages of being in Santa Cruz is the proximity to the major league sports hubs of the San Francisco Bay Area. However, the drive over Highway 17 to San Jose or up the peninsula to San Francisco can be daunting, especially with game-day traffic. Charter Bus Santa Cruz specializes in transporting fans from the coast to the big leagues. Whether you are heading to the SAP Center (525 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113) to cheer on the San Jose Sharks, or making the trek to Levi's Stadium (4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054) for a 49ers game, we have you covered.
By renting a charter bus, you transform a stressful commute into a pre-game tailgate on wheels. Your group can bond, listen to music, and get hyped for the game while a driver navigates the mountain passes and freeway congestion. We can drop you off close to the stadium entrances and wait for you until the final whistle blows. This service is perfect for large family groups, corporate outings, or sports bars organizing fan trips. You get to enjoy the thrill of professional sports without the headache of parking fees and gridlock.
Disc Golf Adventures at DeLaveaga
Santa Cruz is famously known as one of the epicenters of disc golf, home to the world-renowned DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course (850 Branciforte Dr, Santa Cruz, CA 95060). Known for the infamous "Top of the World" shot on hole 27, this course attracts players from all over the globe. If you are organizing a disc golf club trip, a tournament, or a large group outing to play "DeLa," a charter bus rental is the most efficient way to travel. The park can be crowded, and coordinating a convoy of cars can lead to separated groups and delayed tee times.
With Charter Bus Santa Cruz, you can load all your discs, bags, and portable baskets into the bus's storage compartments. The drivers are familiar with the winding roads of Branciforte Drive and can get your group to the course comfortably. After a challenging round on the 29-hole course, your group can relax in the air-conditioned cabin, hydrate, and head to a local brewery like Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing (402 Ingalls St #27, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) to tally up scores and celebrate the day. We make group recreation easy and accessible for everyone.
Reliable Transport for Youth Sports Tournaments
Santa Cruz hosts numerous youth sports tournaments throughout the year, from soccer cups at Depot Park (219 Center St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) to baseball tournaments at local fields. For coaches and parents, the logistics of getting a team to a tournament can be a nightmare of carpools, lost equipment, and tired drivers. Charter Bus Santa Cruz offers a safer, more unified solution. Renting a charter bus keeps the team together, building camaraderie and focus before the match. It ensures that every player arrives at the field at the same time, ready for warm-ups.
Our buses are equipped with comfort features and maintained to the highest standards, giving parents peace of mind. With onboard entertainment systems like DVD players and WiFi, young athletes can stay entertained during the ride or review game tapes. We can also handle multi-day tournament travel, shuttling the team between the fields, their hotel, and local dining spots. Whether you are a local team traveling to an away game or a visiting team coming into Santa Cruz for a championship, we provide the professional transportation support you need to succeed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Santa Cruz Sports Transportation
Is there enough storage for our sports equipment?
Absolutely. Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays that are perfect for bulky items like golf clubs, surfboards, hockey gear, soccer balls, and luggage. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for smaller personal items. If you have specific equipment needs, just let our reservation specialist know when you call, and we will ensure you get a bus with the right capacity.
How far in advance should we book our sports charter bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your game or tournament schedule is finalized. For major events, playoffs, or busy travel seasons (like summer), it is best to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. However, we understand that sports schedules can change, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute booking requests whenever possible.
Does the bus stay with us during the game?
This depends on your specific itinerary and booking agreement. You can choose to have the bus drop you off and return for pickup later, or you can book the bus for the entire duration of the event so it stays on-site. Keeping the bus on-site is a popular option for tailgating or for having a secure place to store personal belongings during the game. Be sure to discuss your preferences with our team when you call 408-716-0149.
Can you transport us to sports venues outside of Santa Cruz?
Yes! Charter Bus Santa Cruz offers long-distance charter bus rentals. We regularly transport teams and fans to venues across the Bay Area, including San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento. We can even facilitate out-of-state travel for tournaments or away games. Wherever your team needs to go, we have the network and the fleet to get you there comfortably.
