A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood
No trip to Burbank is complete without visiting the place where movie magic happens. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood offers an immersive look behind the lens of one of the world's busiest entertainment studios. This isn't just a museum; it is a working studio where your group might catch a glimpse of production in action. Guests can explore the iconic backlots used in Gilmore Girls and The Big Bang Theory, sit on the famous Friends couch at Central Perk, and enter the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts.
For groups, the logistics of visiting the studio can be tricky regarding parking and timing. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Burbank, we drop you off right at the Tour Center entrance. You won't have to worry about paying for multiple parking spots in the structure or walking long distances in the California sun. After your tour, your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to your next adventure or a local dining spot. With ample overhead storage on our buses, your group can shop for souvenirs at the Warner Bros. Studio Store without cluttering your legroom.
Address: 3400 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91505
Universal Studios Hollywood
While technically located in the adjacent Universal City, Universal Studios Hollywood is a staple for any group staying in or visiting Burbank. It is the ultimate destination for thrill-seekers and movie lovers alike. Your group can experience heart-pounding rides like Jurassic World – The Ride, explore the immersive Super Nintendo World, or take the world-famous Studio Tour to see the Psycho House and the shark from Jaws. It is a full-day commitment that requires energy and stamina.
The benefit of a charter bus rental here cannot be overstated. Parking at Universal Studios can be incredibly expensive and often requires a long walk through CityWalk just to reach the gates. By renting a bus with Charter Bus Burbank, your group can utilize the designated bus drop-off zones, saving you significant time and money. After a long day of walking the park, nothing beats the feeling of collapsing into a climate-controlled cabin with plush seating. Your driver will handle navigating out of the busy Universal City traffic while you relax, share photos over the bus WiFi, and rest up for the evening ahead.

Magnolia Park
For a change of pace from the blockbuster studios, take your group to Magnolia Park. This trendy, retro-inspired neighborhood is famous for its vintage boutiques, quirky antique shops, and unique eateries. It is a paradise for shoppers looking for one-of-a-kind clothing, collectibles, and art. The area stretches for blocks, making it a lovely place to stroll, but parking can be scarce on the street, especially on weekends or during the famous Ladies & Gents Night Out events.
A shuttle bus rental allows your group to hop on and off at various points along Magnolia Boulevard. You can start at one end, shop your way down, and have the bus waiting for you at a designated pick-up spot. Be sure to stop at the legendary Porto's Bakery & Cafe for their famous potato balls and cheese rolls. Since Porto's lines can be long and seating limited, many groups opt to order ahead and take their pastries back to the comfort of their charter bus to enjoy a picnic-style snack in air-conditioned comfort. With plenty of undercarriage storage on our larger buses, your group can shop to their heart's content without worrying about carrying bags all day.

The Starlight Bowl
If your group is visiting during the summer, a concert at the Starlight Bowl is a must. This historic outdoor amphitheater offers stellar views of the canyon and city lights while hosting high-energy concerts, often featuring popular cover bands and Fourth of July fireworks spectaculars. It is a favorite among locals for picnicking and enjoying live music under the stars. However, parking at the Starlight Bowl is known for being stacked and difficult to navigate, often requiring a shuttle from a remote lot if you drive personal vehicles.
Skip the shuttle lines and the parking headaches by booking a private charter bus with Charter Bus Burbank. Your driver can drop your group off right near the entrance, allowing you to stake out your picnic spot on the grass immediately. You can bring coolers, blankets, and lawn chairs in the bus's luggage bays, ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable evening. When the concert ends, you avoid the long egress lines and simply board your private bus for a comfortable ride back to your hotel or home.

Downtown Burbank
Downtown Burbank offers a lively mix of entertainment, dining, and shopping that is perfect for groups who want a walkable urban experience. San Fernando Boulevard is lined with hundreds of restaurants, cafes, and shops. It is also home to the massive AMC Burbank 16, one of the highest-grossing movie theaters in the country, making it a great spot for film premieres or group movie nights. Whether you want to grab dinner at a steakhouse, enjoy comedy at a local club, or just people-watch, Downtown Burbank has it all.
While there are parking structures, coordinating a fleet of cars for a large group dinner can be a nightmare of validated tickets and lost drivers. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Burbank simplifies your evening. We can drop you off right in the heart of the action on San Fernando Blvd. If your group wants to split up—some to shop, some to see a movie—we can set a rendezvous time and location. The drivers know the area well, ensuring seamless pickups even on busy Friday nights.

Flappers Comedy Club and Restaurant
Looking for a laugh? Flappers Comedy Club is one of the premier comedy venues in the country, located right in Downtown Burbank. It hosts top-tier headliners, hilarious up-and-comers, and even open mic nights. It is an excellent venue for corporate team-building events, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or just a fun night out with friends. They offer dinner and show packages that make planning easy for group leaders.
By renting a party bus or minibus with Charter Bus Burbank, you ensure that everyone has a built-in designated driver. Your group can enjoy cocktails and laughs without worrying about the drive home. The party doesn't have to stop when you leave the club; with our buses equipped with AUX/Bluetooth sound systems and LED lighting, you can keep the good vibes going all the way back to your drop-off point.

Griffith Park & The Los Angeles Equestrian Center
While Griffith Park is massive and borders several neighborhoods, the Burbank side offers unique access to some of its best features, particularly the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. Located in the Rancho District of Burbank, this world-class facility hosts horse shows, rodeos, and offers guided trail rides through the park. It is a fantastic option for groups looking for an outdoor activity that captures the rustic spirit of early California. From here, you can also access trails leading to views of the Hollywood Sign.
Group trail rides or attending a rodeo require logistical coordination. A charter bus is the perfect solution for transporting groups to the Equestrian Center. There is ample room for casual wear changes or boots in the undercarriage storage. If you are planning a hike in Griffith Park starting from the Burbank side, your bus can drop you at the trailhead and meet you on the other side near the Observatory or the Zoo, saving you the trouble of hiking a loop back to parked cars. Enjoy the air-conditioned ride after a dusty day on the trails!

DeBell Golf Club
Nestled in the Verdugo Mountains, DeBell Golf Club offers a stunning 18-hole course that provides a challenging game with breathtaking views of the valley. It is a hidden gem in Burbank, perfect for corporate tournaments, bachelor parties, or a relaxing day out with friends. The club also features a beautiful clubhouse and restaurant, The Canyon Grille, which is ideal for post-game meals or private events.
Transporting golf clubs for a large group can be a hassle in standard vehicles. Charter Bus Burbank offers full-size charter buses with spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate golf bags for every member of your party. You won't have to jam clubs into trunks or backseats. Your group can travel together, discuss strategy, and enjoy a drink at the clubhouse knowing that a driver is ready to take you home. We handle the driving so you can focus on your swing.
