What types of events & destinations do you frequently serve in Palo Alto, California?

+

Palo Alto Charter Bus provides reliable group transportation for Stanford University campus tours (450 Jane Stanford Way), tech company visits at SAP, VMware, and Tesla, school field trips to the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo (1451 Middlefield Rd), and corporate events at the Santa Clara Convention Center (5001 Great America Pkwy, Santa Clara, CA 95054).

How far in advance should I book my Palo Alto, California bus rental?

+

Once you know your group size and travel dates, you're ready to book your charter bus in Palo Alto. We generally recommend securing your bus at least 1-2 months before your trip. However, if your event falls during Stanford University's commencement weekend (June 16, 2024), the Big Game (November 23, 2024), or you're planning to navigate the heavy traffic on El Camino Real during these peak times, demand will be extremely high and you should book at least 3 months in advance.

Last-minute reservations are possible, but your preferred vehicle may be unavailable or priced higher due to limited supply. The good news is that our reservation experts are available 24/7/365, and can get you a bus in as little as one day if needed. Once you've made your reservation, we'll handle the rest-so you can focus on your itinerary while we ensure your group arrives comfortably and on schedule.
