A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve
If you are visiting Lancaster in the spring (typically mid-February through late May), a trip to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve is an absolute requirement. This state-protected reserve covers over 1,700 acres of rolling hills that transform into a vibrant sea of orange, yellow, and purple wildflowers. It is one of the most spectacular natural displays in California and a bucket-list destination for nature lovers, photographers, and school groups alike.
Traveling here with a group can be tricky due to the immense popularity of the bloom season. The parking lot at the reserve often fills up early in the morning, leaving cars lined up down Lancaster Road. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Lancaster, you can bypass the stress of finding multiple parking spots. Your driver can drop your group off right near the interpretive center, allowing you to hit the eight miles of trails immediately. After your hike, your group can retreat to the air-conditioned comfort of the bus to cool down and share photos of the day. Please remember to stay on the trails to protect the blooms for future generations!
Address: 15101 Lancaster Rd, Lancaster, CA 93536
The BLVD (Downtown Lancaster)
For a taste of local culture, dining, and entertainment, there is no better place than The BLVD. This revitalized cultural district in downtown Lancaster stretches along Lancaster Boulevard and serves as the city's heartbeat. It is packed with trendy boutiques, an eclectic mix of restaurants, a movie theater, and bowing lanes, making it an ideal drop-off point for groups who want a "free roam" afternoon or a structured evening out.
A charter bus rental is perfect for evening trips to The BLVD, especially if you are planning a bar crawl, a corporate dinner, or attending one of the many street festivals held here, like the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix. Parking on the street can be scarce during peak hours or special events. Your Charter Bus Rental Company Lancaster driver can drop your group off at a central location—like in front of the MOAH or near the Western Hotel Museum—and return to pick you up when the night is over. This ensures everyone gets home safely and no one has to worry about designated drivers.
Location: Lancaster Blvd (between 10th St W and Sierra Hwy), Lancaster, CA 93534
Joe Davies Heritage Airpark
Lancaster has a rich aerospace heritage, and there is no better place to experience it up close than the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark at Palmdale Plant 42. This family-friendly, open-air museum features a collection of over 20 retired military aircraft that were flown, tested, or built right here in the Antelope Valley. It is a fantastic destination for STEM field trips , military reunion groups, and aviation enthusiasts.
The airpark offers free admission and guided tours for groups, making it a budget-friendly option for large parties. However, because the exhibits are outdoors, the desert sun can be intense. Having a charter bus nearby means you have a mobile cooling station available whenever your group needs a break. We can transport your group from your hotel or school directly to the airpark, and perhaps combine the trip with a visit to the nearby Blackbird Airpark for a full day of aviation history.
Address: 2001 E Avenue P, Palmdale, CA 93550
Museum of Art and History (MOAH)
Located in the heart of The BLVD, the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) is a cultural anchor for the city. The museum focuses on the history, art, and culture of the Antelope Valley, featuring rotating contemporary art exhibitions and a permanent collection that highlights the region's Native American history and aerospace achievements. The building itself is a modern architectural marvel, often referred to as the "Lantern" of Lancaster.
For school groups and art appreciation societies, MOAH offers a sophisticated and educational outing. We can arrange a seamless drop-off right at the museum's entrance. If you are hosting a private event, the museum's rooftop deck offers stunning panoramic views of the city and mountains, making it a popular venue for corporate mixers and wedding receptions. Charter Bus Rental Company Lancaster can provide shuttle services between the museum and local hotels for your event guests, ensuring a VIP experience for everyone involved.
Address: 665 W Lancaster Blvd, Lancaster, CA 93534
The Musical Road
Did you know Lancaster is home to one of the only musical roads in the United States? Originally created for a Honda commercial, this unique stretch of road features grooves cut into the asphalt that replicate the finale of the "William Tell Overture" when driven over at 55 mph. It is a quirky, fun, and distinctly Lancaster attraction that passengers of all ages enjoy.
Adding the Musical Road to your charter bus itinerary is a fun surprise for your group. While the experience is optimized for cars, hearing the rumble of the tune from a large motorcoach is a unique experience in itself! It is located on Avenue G, far enough from residential areas to not disturb the neighbors but close enough to be an easy detour on your way to or from the Apollo Park or the Poppy Reserve. Ask your reservation specialist about adding a drive-by of the Musical Road to your custom itinerary.
Location: Avenue G (between 30th Street West and 40th Street West), Lancaster, CA
Prime Desert Woodland Preserve
For a peaceful escape into nature without leaving the city limits, the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve is a hidden gem. This 120-acre preserve is dedicated to protecting the fragile ecosystem of the High Desert. It features over two miles of trails, an interpretive center, and an abundance of local wildlife, including jackrabbits and various bird species. It is an excellent location for educational tours, scout troops, and senior groups looking for an accessible nature walk.
Parking at the preserve is limited, which makes arriving in a single minibus or charter bus much more convenient than coordinating a caravan of personal vehicles. Your group can enjoy a guided nature walk or a self-guided tour through the Joshua trees and creosote bushes. The Elyze Clifford Interpretive Center provides educational exhibits that are perfect for students. Let Charter Bus Rental Company Lancaster handle the driving so you can focus on the tranquil beauty of the desert.
Address: 43201 35th St W, Lancaster, CA 93536
Antelope Valley Fairgrounds & Event Center
The Antelope Valley Fairgrounds is the hub for large-scale entertainment in the region. It hosts the annual Antelope Valley Fair & Alfalfa Festival, which draws massive crowds for concerts, rodeos, and carnival rides. Throughout the year, the venue also hosts trade shows, cultural festivals, and private banquets. If your group is attending a major event here, traffic congestion and distant parking lots are inevitable realities.
By renting a charter bus, you eliminate the hassle of parking far away and walking in the heat or cold. Your driver can drop your group off near the main gate and park in the designated commercial vehicle area. This is especially beneficial for corporate groups attending trade shows or large families visiting the fair. You’ll have a designated meeting point and a comfortable ride home after a long day of fun and excitement.
Address: 2551 W Avenue H, Lancaster, CA 93536
Apollo Community Regional Park
Apollo Community Regional Park is a lush oasis in the desert, named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts. The park features three man-made lakes stocked for fishing, sprawling green lawns, picnic pavilions, and walking paths. It is a favorite spot for large family reunions, company picnics, and community gatherings. The park is also home to a replica of the Apollo space capsule, tying back to the region's aerospace roots.
Transporting food, games, and family members to a picnic can be a logistical headache. Charter Bus Rental Company Lancaster can simplify your event by transporting your entire group in one go. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage for coolers, folding chairs, and sports equipment. We can drop you off right at your reserved pavilion so you can get the grill fired up immediately. Whether you are planning a fishing derby or a relaxing afternoon by the water, reliable transportation makes the day run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lancaster Group Travel Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Lancaster?
The cost of renting a charter bus in Lancaster depends on several variables, including the size of the bus (minibus vs. full-size coach), the duration of your trip (hourly vs. daily rates), the time of year, and the distance you plan to travel. Because every trip is unique, we provide personalized quotes to ensure you only pay for what you need. Call us at 702-213-6225 with your itinerary details, and we can generate a free, no-obligation quote in minutes.
Can we visit the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve during peak season with a bus?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, taking a charter bus is highly recommended during the peak bloom season (usually March-April). Traffic leading into the reserve can be heavy, and the parking lot fills up quickly. A charter bus allows your group to be dropped off near the entrance without the stress of hunting for parking. We recommend booking your bus several months in advance for spring dates, as demand is very high during the poppy bloom.
Are there parking fees for charter buses at these attractions?
Parking fees vary by location. The Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve and Joe Davies Heritage Airpark generally have specific policies for commercial vehicles or buses. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Lancaster, our team can help you identify potential parking costs at your specific destinations. Passengers are responsible for parking fees, but we can include these estimates in your planning process to avoid extra charges.
Can we drink alcohol on the bus?
In most cases, yes, you are permitted to consume alcohol on our buses, provided all passengers are of legal drinking age (21+). This makes our buses perfect for wine tours, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or nights out on The BLVD. However, you must notify us in advance if you plan to have alcohol on board so we can ensure the proper policies are in place. A refundable cleaning deposit may apply.
How far in advance should we book our Lancaster charter bus?
To ensure availability and the best pricing, we recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and itinerary are confirmed. For peak travel times—such as spring (poppy season) or during major events like the AV Fair—we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. For standard travel, 1 to 2 months is usually sufficient, but we can often accommodate last-minute requests depending on fleet availability.
