Riverside Airport Transportation
Instead of splitting your group into a caravan of cars fighting SR-91 traffic toward Ontario International Airport, one bus keeps everyone together and gets you there on schedule. Ontario International Airport (ONT) (2500 E Airport Dr, Ontario, CA 91761) is approximately 15 miles west of downtown Riverside via I-10 or SR-60 — about 20 to 30 minutes off-peak, and significantly longer during the afternoon rush on the 91 or the 60. Charter buses and minibuses use the designated ground transportation curb lanes on the Arrivals level at Terminal 2 and Terminal 4 for passenger pickup and drop-off.
For the itinerary, Terminal 2 uses 2500 E Airport Drive, Terminal 4 uses 2900 E Airport Drive, and the International Arrivals Terminal uses 2222 International Way; use the terminal-specific address when you send the bus. Your bus goes to the correct terminal curb instead of leaving everyone to cross the airport between buildings — see the Ontario International Airport ground transportation page for the terminal map and access details.
Need to reach Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) or Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) (3400 E Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262)? Both are reachable by charter bus from Riverside, with LAX approximately 60 miles west and PSP approximately 60 miles east. Riversidecoachbuscompany.com helps you find airport transportation sized to your group — compare minibuses, sprinter vans, and full-size motorcoaches from a network of transportation companies serving Riverside, California. Call 951-631-0490 or get an instant quote online right now!
Riverside Concert Transportation
Riversidecoachbuscompany.com can help your group get to the show without the parking scramble! Whether you are headed to the Fox Performing Arts Center (3801 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501) for a touring Broadway production or a concert, or making the run to a major venue in Los Angeles or Anaheim, one bus keeps your whole group together from the first pickup to the last drop-off.
Downtown Riverside's one-way street grid makes parking a real challenge on event nights — Mission Inn Avenue runs one-way eastbound, and surface lots near the Fox fill up fast. A charter bus or minibus drops your group right at the venue entrance on Mission Inn Ave and stages nearby while you are inside, so nobody circles the block or pays surge pricing for a rideshare home at midnight.
Want to upgrade the ride? Party buses with built-in bars, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound systems are available through the network — so the celebration starts before you even reach the venue.

For conferences, client visits, off-sites, and company events at the Riverside Convention Center (3637 5th St, Riverside, CA 92501), a charter bus or minibus takes the logistics off your plate. Instead of sending your team in a dozen separate cars through I-215 or SR-91 traffic, one vehicle keeps everyone on the same schedule — and arrives together.
The Riverside Convention Center's main loading zone is on 5th Street, with Lot 1 adjacent to the venue accommodating oversized vehicles with advance coordination. Need to shuttle employees between a hotel block and a conference venue? Or move a group from Riverside to a corporate campus in Ontario or Los Angeles? Riversidecoachbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare minibuses and full-size charter buses from a network of transportation companies serving the Inland Empire.

Riverside Employee Transportation
Browse employee shuttle options from a large network of transportation companies serving Riverside and find the commuter solution that actually fits your company's schedule! A daily shuttle from a Park & Ride off I-215 or SR-91 gets your team in together, turns dead commute time into a productive or restful ride, and gives your company one predictable transportation cost instead of reimbursing parking across dozens of cars.
Whether you need a recurring daily route between downtown Riverside and a warehouse campus in Moreno Valley, a weekly run to an office park in Ontario, or temporary shuttle service while your parking lot is under construction, Riversidecoachbuscompany.com helps you compare vehicle sizes and packages from independently owned transportation companies serving the area.

Charter buses drop off passengers on Mission Inn Avenue in front of the hotel's main entrance at 3649 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501. Mission Inn Avenue runs one-way eastbound in the downtown core, so buses should approach from Market Street heading east. There is no on-site bus parking at the Mission Inn — after drop-off, the bus relocates to a nearby parking structure.
The closest options for oversized vehicle staging are the Mission Inn Avenue Parking Structure (3640 Market St) and the surface lots near 4th Street and Orange Street. During the Festival of Lights (late November through early January), downtown Riverside sees significantly higher traffic and parking demand, so building extra time into your arrival window is strongly advised.
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is the closest airport to Riverside, approximately 15 miles west via I-10 or SR-60 — about 20 to 30 minutes off-peak. Charter buses and minibuses use the designated ground transportation curb lanes on the Arrivals level at Terminal 2 and Terminal 4 for passenger pickup and drop-off. Do not walk to the rideshare zone — it is a separate curb and a different process entirely.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is approximately 60 miles west via I-10 — plan 60 to 90 or more minutes depending on traffic. Charter buses use the terminal Arrivals curb lanes by terminal; the LAX-it rideshare lot is for app-based rides only and is not where your bus will be. Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is approximately 60 miles east via I-10 — about 50 to 65 minutes off-peak — with curbside charter bus pickup at the terminal's ground transportation lane.
Charter buses drop off passengers on Mission Inn Avenue directly in front of the Fox Performing Arts Center at 3801 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501. Mission Inn Avenue is one-way eastbound, so buses approach from Market Street heading east. There is no dedicated bus parking on-site at the Fox.
After drop-off, the bus stages in a nearby surface lot or the Market Street Parking Structure (3640 Market St, Riverside, CA 92501), which is approximately one block away. Confirm current drop-off arrangements with the venue at 951-631-0490 for large group events, as specific procedures may vary by event.
The California Citrus State Historic Park has a dedicated bus and RV parking area in the main parking lot off Jackson Street. Charter buses enter from Jackson Street and pull into the oversized vehicle section of the lot. No advance parking reservation is required for standard group visits, but groups should call ahead at 951-631-0490 for large events or to confirm current access.
The visitor center and grove access is a short walk from the parking area. The park is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. October through March and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekends April through September, and admission is free.
Parking is separate from admission: the official park rate is $50 for buses carrying 10 to 24 people and $100 for buses carrying 25 or more. Your bus handles the oversized-vehicle cost at entry while everyone stays together for the short walk to the visitor center.
The trailhead parking lot at the base of Mount Rubidoux has a height clearance restriction and a tight turning radius that typically prevents full-size 40- to 56-passenger motorcoaches from entering. Minibuses and smaller vehicles are the better choice for groups visiting Mount Rubidoux. Groups using full-size coaches typically drop off on Redwood Drive near the park entrance or stage at the nearby Fairmount Park main lot and walk or use smaller shuttle vehicles to the trailhead.
Street parking on Mount Rubidoux Drive is extremely limited, so plan your drop-off and staging point before arrival. Call the Riverside County Parks line at 951-631-0490 to confirm current access conditions before your visit.
The city's recommended parking option is Ryan Bonaminio Park (5000 Tequesquite Ave, Riverside, CA 92506), directly adjacent to Mount Rubidoux, with limited street parking in the surrounding area. Your bus can use the adjacent park instead of trying to force a full-size coach into the tight trailhead lot — see the City of Riverside Mount Rubidoux parking information for the current access map.
The primary charter bus drop-off zone for large groups at the University of California, Riverside is on Big Springs Rd near the Highlander Union Building (HUB). A second common drop-off point is on Campus Dr near the Student Recreation Center. Charter bus parking on campus requires a temporary parking permit obtained in advance through UCR Transportation & Parking Services at (951) 827-7275 or at parking.ucr.edu.
One-day bus parking is available in Lot 18 through December 2026; buses must use multiple spaces so they do not obstruct drive aisles. Day-of bus parking on campus without an advance permit is not guaranteed, so contact UCR Transportation & Parking well before your visit.
For most Riverside trips, booking three to six months in advance gives you the best selection and pricing. For high-demand dates, book even earlier. The Festival of Lights at the Mission Inn (late November through early January) is one of the single busiest periods for Riverside transportation — vehicles fill fast across the entire Inland Empire during that stretch.
Prom season in April and May across Riverside Unified, Alvord Unified, and Corona-Norco Unified school districts is another crunch period where waiting until the last minute means higher prices or no availability at all. UCR Commencement in mid-June and summer weekend winery trips to Temecula (June through October) also book out early. The sooner you compare and lock in your date, the better your options — and the better your price.

Mission Inn Hotel and Spa
The Mission Inn Hotel and Spa is one of Southern California's most iconic landmarks — a California Historic Landmark and National Historic Landmark built in 1876 and expanded into its current Romanesque, Gothic, and Spanish Colonial Revival form through the early 20th century. Its 238 rooms and suites, ornate courtyards, and four restaurants make it a destination in its own right.

Charter buses drop off passengers on Mission Inn Avenue at the main entrance; the street runs one-way eastbound, so approach from Market Street heading east. No on-site bus parking is available — the bus stages at the nearby Mission Inn Avenue Parking Structure after drop-off. Plan extra time during the Festival of Lights, when downtown traffic and parking demand spike significantly.

The Fox Performing Arts Center is a beautifully restored 1929 movie palace with approximately 1,700 seats, reopened in 2009 after a major renovation. It hosts touring Broadway productions, major concerts, comedy shows, and community events throughout the year, making it Riverside's premier live entertainment venue. The Fox sits on Mission Inn Avenue, one block east of the Mission Inn Hotel, in the heart of downtown Riverside's one-way street grid.
Charter buses drop off passengers directly on Mission Inn Ave at the venue entrance — approach from Market Street heading east. There is no dedicated bus parking at the Fox; after drop-off, the bus stages at the Market Street Parking Structure, approximately one block away. For large group events, confirm drop-off arrangements with the venue at 951-631-0490 ahead of your visit, as specific procedures can vary by show.

Riverside Convention Center
The Riverside Convention Center is one of the largest convention and meeting facilities in the Inland Empire, with approximately 170,000 square feet of total event space. It sits adjacent to the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa in the heart of downtown Riverside, making it a natural hub for conferences, trade shows, corporate events, and large-scale gatherings. Charter buses and motorcoaches use the loading zone on 5th Street at the convention center's main frontage for passenger drop-off and pickup.
The adjacent surface lot — Lot 1 on 5th Street between Market St and Orange St — can accommodate oversized vehicles with advance coordination through the venue. Groups planning large-scale shuttle operations between hotel blocks and the convention center should contact the RCC at (951) 826-5700 to confirm current parking and staging arrangements before their event.

Mount Rubidoux Park
Mount Rubidoux Park (4000 Mount Rubidoux Dr, Riverside, CA 92501) is one of Riverside's most beloved landmarks — a 1,337-foot hilltop park with a historic cross and peace tower at the summit, connected by approximately 2.6 miles of paved trail. The park has hosted the annual Easter Sunrise Service since 1909, one of the oldest in the United States, drawing large crowds each spring. The trailhead parking lot at the base of the hill has a height clearance restriction and a tight turning radius that prevents most full-size 40- to 56-passenger motorcoaches from entering.
Minibuses are the strongly preferred vehicle for Mount Rubidoux groups. Groups using full-size coaches typically drop off on Redwood Drive near the park entrance or stage at nearby Fairmount Park and walk to the trailhead. Street parking on Mount Rubidoux Drive is extremely limited, so plan your drop-off point in advance.

California Citrus State Historic Park
The California Citrus State Historic Park preserves 248 acres of working citrus groves and tells the story of California's citrus industry, which was centered in Riverside beginning in the 1870s. The park features a visitor center, museum exhibits, interpretive trails through the groves, and regularly scheduled educational programs — making it a popular destination for school field trips, family outings, and heritage tours. Admission is free, and the park is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
October through March and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekends April through September. Charter buses enter from Jackson Street and pull into the dedicated bus and RV parking area in the main lot — one of the few Riverside destinations with a clearly designated oversized vehicle parking section. No advance parking reservation is required for standard group visits, though calling ahead at 951-631-0490 is recommended for large events.
The visitor center and grove access are a short walk from the bus parking area.
Parking is separate from admission: the official park rate is $50 for buses carrying 10 to 24 people and $100 for buses carrying 25 or more. Your bus handles the oversized-vehicle cost at entry while everyone stays together for the short walk to the visitor center.

University of California, Riverside
The University of California, Riverside is a major UC System research university with approximately 26,000 students, founded in 1954. The campus hosts campus tours, academic conferences, public lectures, athletic events at the SRC Arena and Events Center (capacity approximately 3,500), and concerts at the historic Barn venue. The primary charter bus drop-off zone for large groups is on Big Springs Rd near the Highlander Union Building (HUB); a second common drop-off point is on Campus Dr near the Student Recreation Center.
Charter bus parking on campus requires a temporary parking permit obtained in advance through UCR Transportation & Parking Services at (951) 827-7275 or at parking.ucr.edu. One-day bus parking is available in Lot 18 through December 2026; buses must use multiple spaces so they do not obstruct drive aisles.

Castle Park
Fairmount Park is Riverside's largest city park at 246 acres, featuring a scenic lake, the historic Fairmount Park Boathouse, picnic areas, sports facilities, and walking paths. It serves as a gathering point for large community events including the Riverside International Film Festival, outdoor concerts, and seasonal celebrations. The park's large main surface lot off Fairmount Blvd has no height restrictions and can accommodate full-size charter buses — bus parking is first-come, first-served with no advance reservation required for standard visits.
Fairmount Park also serves as a convenient staging area for groups visiting nearby Mount Rubidoux, as full-size coaches that cannot access the Mount Rubidoux trailhead lot often stage here and walk to the trail. The park is a short drive or easy walk from the Mount Rubidoux trailhead on Redwood Drive.
