Cheer on the Padres at Petco Park

Feeling like cheering on the Padres at Petco Park for a company event or family outing?

You can book a Petco Park shuttle to take you directly from your hotel room or office to the stadium on the big day. And if you feel like celebrating (or drowning your sorrows), afterwards, you can choose to add some of the best bars and restaurants in the East Village. Your San Diego bus will have a designated driver who can take care of the driving and keep you safe while you indulge in San Diego’s craft beer and restaurant scene.

Bus Rentals for Coachella and Other California Festivals

Looking for group transportation to and from Coachella or any other festival? CharterUP can help. For festival planners, we can organize shuttle bus rentals to transport attendees from their hotel to the festival grounds. These buses can be rented by the day, meaning you can secure an all-inclusive transportation solution for festival goers. With a Coachella bus rental, attendees can enjoy cooling off in the air-conditioned cabins and posting their photos to Instagram using onboard WiFi. The biggest buses in our network can accommodate larger groups with ease.

And if you just want to head to Coachella or any other festival with your own private transportation, we can help with that, too. The minibuses in our network can accommodate anywhere from 18 to 25 passengers, and come with almost all the amenities of a full-size charter bus including A/C, power outlets, WiFi, and more.

This way, everyone can enjoy the event with confidence they have a safe ride home at the end of the day.

Hassle-Free Airport Transfers in San Diego

Navigating your way through the San Diego International Airport isn’t always easy, whether it’s your first time or you’ve visited it countless times. Not to mention trying to get a taxi or other rideshare, which often tack on surge fees due to the popularity of airport rides and occasional shortage of drivers. And navigating larger groups of people makes this task even more difficult and frustrating. Thankfully, CharterUP has plenty of experience with renting airport shuttles to groups larger and smaller.

With the help of CharterUP’s app, you can rent a bus in San Diego specifically for airport transfers and pickups. You will have guaranteed airport pickup transportation that will be there when and where you need it. Your charter bus driver is familiar with the airport layouts, will aim to arrive at the designated pickup point at least 15 minutes early, and can be easily reached by phone if you get lost. Have a reliable Atlanta charter bus waiting for you if you are flying across the country, a Seattle charter bus after a long flight up north, or even a Tucson charter bus rental if you are flying one state over. We have access to everything you need in our network!
