A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Shoreline Amphitheatre
If you are planning to attend a major concert or music festival in Northern California, the Shoreline Amphitheatre (1 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043) is likely at the top of your list. Built by legendary promoter Bill Graham, this massive outdoor venue can hold up to 22,500 people and hosts some of the biggest names in music and entertainment. However, anyone who has tried to drive to a sold-out show knows that the traffic on Shoreline Boulevard and the Highway 101 off-ramps can be a nightmare. Parking lots fill up early, and getting out after the final encore can take over an hour. When you book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Mountain View, you can skip the parking frustrations entirely. Your driver will drop your group off at the designated charter bus loading zone near the entrance, allowing everyone to stay together and start the party before the show even begins.
A party bus rental is the perfect way to pre-game with friends, featuring Bluetooth sound systems and wraparound seating so you can blast your favorite tunes on the way to the venue. For larger corporate groups or school music programs, our 56-passenger charter buses provide undercarriage storage for coolers, folding chairs, and gear, while the climate-controlled cabin offers a cool retreat from the California sun. With Charter Bus Mountain View as your designated driver, no one in your fan group has to worry about navigating the dark parking lots or fighting for a spot. Whether you're heading to a multi-day festival or a single-night performance, we'll ensure your ride to the Shoreline is a total hit!
Computer History Museum
Groups looking to explore the roots of the digital age should look no further than the Computer History Museum (1401 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043). Home to the world's largest collection of computing artifacts, this museum offers an incredible educational experience for students, tech enthusiasts, and corporate teams alike. From the early abacus to the first Cray-1 supercomputer and the evolution of the smartphone, the exhibits here provide a deep dive into the innovations that shaped our world. When organizing a school field trip, teachers from the Mountain View Whisman School District and beyond trust Charter Bus Mountain View to provide comfortable and reliable transportation. Instead of an uncomfortable yellow bus, upgrade your students to a modern motorcoach where they can watch documentaries on the history of Silicon Valley over the onboard TV monitors or complete digital worksheets using our fast, free WiFi.
Corporate event planners also frequently book our minibuses for executive tours and team-building sessions at the museum. The location is conveniently situated right off Highway 101, but the parking lot can be tight during peak season or special keynote events. By using a private shuttle service, your attendees can be dropped off directly at the main entrance, ensuring they arrive on time for guided tours or private meeting room sessions. With reclining seats and a driver at the helm, your group can relax and discuss the exhibits without worrying about the traffic on North Shoreline Boulevard. Let Charter Bus Mountain View handle the logistics while you focus on the future of technology!
Shoreline Lake and Park
For a refreshing escape from the office or classroom, Shoreline Lake and Park (3160 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043) offers 750 acres of wildlife refuge and recreation. This stunning destination is a favorite for family reunions, company picnics, and school environmental science trips. Your group can enjoy everything from sailing and windsurfing on the saltwater lake to hiking and biking the miles of paved trails that connect to the Stevens Creek Trail. However, parking for large vehicles at the lakefront can be difficult during the sunny summer months and weekends. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Mountain View, we coordinate with the park to ensure your group is dropped off at the most convenient location near the Shoreline Lake Boathouse or the historic Rengstorff House.
Our buses are equipped with plenty of storage space, making it easy to bring along picnic baskets, sports equipment, and changes of clothes for a day of activities. After a few hours of kayaking or birdwatching in the marshes, your group will love stepping back onto an air-conditioned bus with plush seats to rest their legs. We’ve worked with countless local businesses to set up team-building retreats at the lake, providing a seamless shuttle from their Mountain View offices to the park. Whether you’re hosting a small department lunch or a large-scale community gathering, a private shuttle bus rental ensures that everyone arrives refreshed and ready for a day of outdoor fun in the heart of the South Bay.
Googleplex & Android Statue Garden
No visit to Mountain View is complete without a stop at the legendary Googleplex (1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043). While the office interiors are restricted to employees, the campus itself is a landmark of modern corporate culture. Large groups and tour operators often include the Google Android Statue Garden on their Silicon Valley itineraries to snap photos with the iconic "dessert" statues representing different versions of the Android operating system. Managing a large tour group through the sprawling Google campus can be tricky, as the area is filled with tech commuters, bikers, and shuttle buses. These drivers are well-versed in the campus layout and the designated loading zones, ensuring your group stays comfortable and follows local regulations while exploring the grounds.
We provide corporate shuttle services for visiting tech teams and industry influencers who need to travel between Google, LinkedIn, and Intuit campuses. Our full-size charter buses and sprinter vans offer a professional atmosphere with amenities like leather seating and power outlets at every seat, allowing your passengers to stay connected and productive while on the move. Rather than relying on public transit or carpooling through the congested intersection of Charleston Road and Shoreline Boulevard, a private rental with Charter Bus Mountain View gives you a dedicated vehicle that runs on your schedule. We have served thousands of corporate groups since 2011, and we know exactly how to handle the high expectations and tight timelines of Silicon Valley travel.
Moffett Federal Airfield (NASA Ames Research Center)
A symbol of Mountain View’s rich aviation and aerospace history, Moffett Federal Airfield (Moffett Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94035) is home to the massive Hangar One and the NASA Ames Research Center. It’s a fascinating destination for school groups, history buffs, and government contractors. The NASA Ames Visitor Center offers a glimpse into space exploration, featuring moon rocks, space capsules, and interactive displays on Mars missions. Because this is a federal facility with strict security protocols, organizing transportation for a large group requires precise timing and coordination. Charter Bus Mountain View is an experienced provider of GSA-approved transportation, and we understand the requirements of moving personnel and students onto military and government sites.
Whether you’re planning an educational outing for a science club or transporting high-level personnel to a meeting at the research park, we’ll provide a reliable bus rental that sticks to your security-cleared itinerary. Our 56-passenger charter buses are perfect for larger classes, offering plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably and an onboard restroom to minimize stops. For smaller executive groups or VIP tours, a sleek sprinter van or minibus provides a more intimate and efficient way to travel through the airfield’s roads. With a driver who knows the entry points and traffic patterns on Moffett Boulevard, you can trust Charter Bus Mountain View to get your group to this historic landmark on time.
Downtown Mountain View (Castro Street)
For a taste of local culture, dining, and nightlife, groups should head straight to Downtown Mountain View and the famous Castro Street. This vibrant corridor is lined with world-class restaurants ranging from authentic dim sum and sushi to upscale Italian and Mexican fare. It’s the perfect place for a corporate dinner, a celebratory bachelor or bachelorette outing, or a casual lunch stop during a Silicon Valley tour. However, parking in Downtown Mountain View is notoriously difficult, with limited street spots and crowded parking garages that aren’t designed for large commercial vehicles. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Mountain View, your group can enjoy a night out without the stress of finding multiple parking spots or coordinating rideshares for everyone.
We can arrange for your driver to drop your group off right at the intersection of Castro Street and Evelyn Avenue, putting you steps away from favorites like Cascal or Doppio Zero. After a delicious meal or a visit to the weekly Farmers Market, your bus will be waiting to whisk you back to your hotel or office. For wedding parties, we offer shuttle services that can move guests from hotels to rehearsals at local restaurants, serving as your reliable designated driver all night long. With comfortable reclining seats and climate control, the ride through the South Bay is the perfect time to relax and bond with your group. Let us take the wheel while you experience the best dining that Mountain View has to offer!
Stevens Creek Trail
The Stevens Creek Trail is one of the Peninsula’s most beautiful recreational assets, stretching from the Shoreline Park all the way through Mountain View. It’s a fantastic destination for active groups, outdoor enthusiasts, and school groups looking to learn about local riparian ecosystems. The trail offers miles of paved paths for walking, running, and cycling, with several access points throughout the city. If your group is planning a morning hike or a charity walk, Charter Bus Mountain View can help you organize the logistics of moving a large number of people to the trailheads. We can drop your group off at the Yuba Drive access point or the Sleeper Avenue entrance, ensuring a smooth start to your outdoor adventure.
Our fleet includes buses with plenty of storage space for water coolers, gear, and even bikes upon request. If you're coordinating a large-scale community event or a cross-country team practice, we can provide a fleet of minibuses to shuttle participants between different sections of the trail. Since 2011, we’ve worked with various non-profit organizations and school districts to provide affordable and efficient transportation for outdoor outings. Avoid the confusion of carpooling and the hassle of finding street parking in residential neighborhoods—let a bus driver handle the navigation while your group enjoys the fresh air and scenery of the Stevens Creek Trail.
Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts
Groups looking for a touch of elegance and art will appreciate a trip to the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts (500 Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94041). This state-of-the-art facility hosts a variety of professional theater, dance, and musical performances throughout the year. It’s a popular destination for senior community outings, student theater programs, and private event attendees. Located in the heart of downtown, the venue is beautiful but can be challenging to reach during high-traffic performance times. A private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Mountain View ensures your guests arrive together and in style, dropping them off curbside at the venue entrance.
Our buses offer a luxurious travel experience that matches the prestige of an evening at the theater. Your passengers can relax in plush leather seats and enjoy the crisp A/C as they travel from their homes or hotels to the center. For out-of-town groups, we can even provide a comprehensive tour that includes dinner on Castro Street followed by a show at the Center for the Performing Arts. We understand the importance of punctuality for live performances, and our team will work with you to create a schedule that gets everyone into their seats before the curtain rises. From intimate 15-passenger minibuses to grand 56-seat motorcoaches, we have the perfect vehicle to make your arts-focused outing an unforgettable experience.

How far in advance should I book my Mountain View bus rental?
To ensure the best vehicle selection and the most competitive pricing, we recommend booking your Mountain View charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important if your trip falls during the busy spring season (April through June) when proms, graduations at Stanford or San Jose State, and major tech conferences like Google I/O can cause vehicles to sell out quickly. We also see high demand during the winter holidays and for major concerts at Shoreline Amphitheatre. However, if you have a last-minute need, don’t hesitate to call! We are available 24/7 and will do our absolute best to accommodate your group with a quality vehicle even on short notice.
