A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Filoli Historic House & Garden
Perhaps the most stunning jewel in the Peninsula's crown, Filoli Historic House & Garden offers groups a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the early 20th century. Located at 86 Cañada Road, Woodside, CA 94062, just on the edge of Redwood City, this 654-acre estate features a Georgian-style mansion and some of the most meticulously maintained English Renaissance gardens in North America. For groups, Filoli is a year-round destination, offering seasonal highlights ranging from the spectacular spring bulb blooms to the festive "Holidays at Filoli" light displays in winter.
Traveling to Filoli with a large group can be tricky due to the winding nature of Cañada Road and the popularity of the site. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Redwood City, we handle the logistics of arrival and departure seamlessly. Instead of your group members struggling to find spots in the often-crowded visitor lot, your bus driver can drop your party right near the Visitor Center entrance. Your group can enjoy a docent-led tour of the house, explore the sunken garden, or have a picnic in the designated dining area without worrying about driving home after a day in the sun. The undercarriage storage on our full-size motorcoaches is perfect for storing picnic supplies or souvenirs from the Clock Tower Shop.
San Mateo County History Museum
Located right in the heart of downtown at 2200 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063, the San Mateo County History Museum is an architectural marvel as much as it is an educational center. Housed inside the "Old Courthouse," the building features a magnificent stained-glass dome that is a sight to behold. Inside, exhibits detail the rich history of the Peninsula, from the Ohlone people to the era of Spanish missions and the logging boom that gave Redwood City its name. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips , senior citizen outings, and history buffs.
Downtown Redwood City is vibrant but known for its tight street parking and busy garages. By renting a minibus or charter bus, you avoid the headache of coordinating parking for a dozen individual cars. Your driver can drop your group off at a designated loading zone near Courthouse Square, allowing you immediate access to the museum. After touring the exhibits, your group is perfectly positioned to explore the surrounding restaurants and shops of downtown. Whether you are grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a group dinner, having a charter bus waiting nearby ensures that your schedule keeps moving smoothly.
Fox Theatre
For a night of entertainment, few venues on the Peninsula compare to the historic Fox Theatre, located at 2215 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063. Since opening its doors in 1929, this theater has been the premier destination for live music, comedy, and theater productions in the area. With its stunning Gothic Revival and Moorish architecture, it provides an atmospheric backdrop for corporate events, private parties, and group outings to see headlining acts. It sits directly across from the History Museum, anchoring the cultural hub of the city.
Attending a show at the Fox Theatre with a large group—whether it's a corporate team-building event or a large family gathering—is significantly easier with a private shuttle. Events at the Fox often draw large crowds, causing local parking structures to fill up rapidly. With a party bus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Redwood City, your group receives VIP treatment with curbside drop-off. You can enjoy pre-show cocktails or dinner without worrying about a designated driver, and once the curtain falls, your bus will be ready to transport everyone safely back to their hotel or next destination. It turns a simple night out into a cohesive, stress-free event.
Edgewood Park & Natural Preserve
For groups looking to escape the urban bustle and immerse themselves in nature, Edgewood Park & Natural Preserve is a must-visit. Located at 10 Old Stage Coach Rd, Redwood City, CA 94062, this 467-acre protected area is famous for its serpentine soil and spectacular wildflower displays in the spring. It offers miles of hiking trails that range from easy walks to moderate climbs, providing panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is an excellent spot for scout troops, nature clubs, and corporate wellness retreats.
Parking at the trailhead can be extremely limited, especially during the peak wildflower season when visitors flock to the preserve. A charter bus rental eliminates this frustration entirely. Your driver can navigate the roads leading up to the preserve and drop your group off ready to hike. Our buses come equipped with ample storage space, so you can bring along hiking gear, water coolers, and extra layers without cluttering the seating area. After a few hours on the trails, there is nothing better than returning to a climate-controlled bus with plush reclining seats to rest your legs on the ride home.
Pulgas Water Temple
A hidden gem of the Peninsula, the Pulgas Water Temple located at 56 Cañada Rd, Redwood City, CA 94062, is a monument to the engineering marvel that brought Hetch Hetchy water to the Bay Area. This Beaux Arts-style structure features beautiful columns and a reflecting pool, creating a serene and photogenic atmosphere. It is a popular stop for wedding parties looking for unique photo opportunities, architectural students, and tour groups exploring the scenic Cañada Road corridor.
Because the Pulgas Water Temple is located along a two-lane road with specific operating hours and limited parking, arriving in a single vehicle is highly advantageous. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Redwood City allows your group to visit the temple as part of a larger Peninsula tour—perhaps combining it with a visit to Filoli just down the road. Your driver stays with the vehicle, ensuring security for your belongings while you explore the grounds. It is the perfect quick stop to add elegance and history to your itinerary without the logistical drag of managing a caravan of cars.
Courthouse Square & Downtown Redwood City
Courthouse Square, located at 2200 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063, serves as the "living room" of the community. Flanked by the historic courthouse and a variety of modern dining and entertainment options, the square hosts outdoor movies, concerts, art festivals, and cultural celebrations throughout the year. It is a fantastic central gathering point for groups who want to experience the local vibe, grab a meal at one of the many nearby restaurants, or simply enjoy the fabulous weather.
For large groups, navigating downtown traffic and finding adjacent parking for multiple vehicles can dampen the mood. When you book a charter bus, you streamline the entire experience. We can arrange for a drop-off right near the action, allowing your group to disperse and explore the shops, fountains, and kiosks at their leisure. If you are attending a specific festival like the Salsa Festival or the Hometown Holidays parade, having a dedicated bus means you have a mobile headquarters and a guaranteed rendezvous point when the festivities conclude.
Bair Island Wildlife Refuge & Trail
Experience the wetlands of the Bay Area at Bair Island, part of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Located off Bair Island Rd, Redwood City, CA 94063, this area offers flat, accessible walking trails that are perfect for bird watching and enjoying the bay breeze. It provides a stark contrast to the city center and offers educational opportunities regarding tidal marsh restoration and local wildlife. It is an ideal destination for school science classes, photography clubs, and senior walking groups.
Accessing the trailheads can sometimes be confusing for those unfamiliar with the area near the Port. A professional bus driver from Charter Bus Rental Company Redwood City ensures you get to the right entrance without any wrong turns. Since there are limited facilities directly on the trails, having a charter bus nearby provides a convenient place to store lunches, water, and personal items. After a refreshing walk through the wetlands, your group can board the bus and head to a nearby restaurant or back to school in air-conditioned comfort.
Port of Redwood City
The Port of Redwood City, located at 675 Seaport Blvd, Redwood City, CA 94063, is the only deep-water port in the South San Francisco Bay. While it is a working industrial port, it also features a waterfront park and public access areas that host community events like the annual PortFest. The area offers unique views of the bay, fishing piers, and picnic areas. It is a great spot for groups interested in maritime history, logistics, or simply a different perspective on the Bay Area waterfront.
If you are planning a group event at the waterfront or attending a festival at the Port, transportation is key. The area is somewhat removed from the main downtown strip, making public transit less convenient for large groups. A charter bus rental bridges that gap perfectly. We can shuttle your corporate team for a waterfront lunch or transport a school group for a lesson on maritime commerce. With onboard amenities like PA systems, tour leaders can even give a presentation about the Port's history while en route, turning the drive into part of the experience.
