A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre
No trip to Hemet is complete without visiting the historic Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre. Famous for being the home of the "Ramona" pageant—America's longest-running outdoor drama—this venue offers a spectacular open-air experience nestled in the hills. The amphitheatre also hosts summer concerts, festivals, and community events throughout the year. The natural acoustics and breathtaking sunset views make it a must-visit for cultural groups, history buffs, and anyone looking for top-tier entertainment.
Why Rent a Bus: The Ramona Bowl is located in the foothills, and parking involves navigating sloping terrain which can be difficult for large caravans or guests with mobility issues. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Hemet, you can arrange for drop-off right near the entrance gates. This is especially beneficial for senior groups or large school field trips attending the pageant. Your driver will handle the parking logistics while your group heads straight to their seats. Plus, with the show often ending after dark, you can ensure everyone gets home safely without navigating winding roads at night.
Address: 27400 Ramona Bowl Rd, Hemet, CA 92544
Western Science Center
For an educational adventure, the Western Science Center is the crown jewel of the valley. Home to "Max," the largest mastodon ever found in the western United States, this museum offers fascinating exhibits on the Ice Age history of the Diamond Valley Lake region. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips, scout troops, and science enthusiasts. The museum features interactive displays, a theater, and rotating exhibits that keep visitors engaged for hours.
Why Rent a Bus: School buses are the traditional choice for field trips, but they often lack comfort. Upgrade your students' experience with a modern charter bus rental. With onboard DVD players and flat-screen TVs, you can show educational documentaries about the Ice Age during the drive to prepare students for what they will see. There is ample undercarriage storage for backpacks and lunch coolers, keeping the aisles clear. Teachers and chaperones will appreciate the air-conditioned comfort and the ease of keeping the entire class contained in one secure vehicle.
Address: 2345 Searl Pkwy, Hemet, CA 92543
Diamond Valley Lake
Just next door to the Western Science Center lies Diamond Valley Lake, a massive man-made reservoir known for its spectacular wildflower super blooms, fishing, and hiking trails. It is an outdoor lover's paradise. Groups often visit for the Wildflower Trail in the spring, bike rides along the lake view trail, or fishing tournaments. The Aquatic Center offers a great cool-down option during warmer months.
Why Rent a Bus: If you are planning a group hike or a fishing trip, you are going to have gear. A 56-passenger charter bus offers massive under-bus luggage bays perfect for storing hiking poles, fishing tackle, coolers, and picnic supplies. After a long day of hiking in the sun, nothing beats stepping onto a climate-controlled bus with plush reclining seats to rest your legs on the ride home. We can shuttle your group from the Visitor Center to the Marina and back, ensuring you maximize your time enjoying the outdoors rather than walking between parking lots.
Address: 2615 Angler Ave, Hemet, CA 92545
Soboba Casino Resort
Located just a stone's throw away in San Jacinto, the Soboba Casino Resort is a premier destination for adult groups looking for entertainment, dining, and gaming. With a massive casino floor, a luxury hotel, a PGA-rated golf course, and an event center that hosts major concerts and boxing matches, it is perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate retreats, or just a fun night out with friends.
Why Rent a Bus: The most important reason to rent a bus for a casino trip is safety. A private party bus rental serves as your designated driver for the night. Your group can enjoy cocktails, concerts, and gaming without worrying about who is driving home or splitting up into expensive rideshares. For corporate groups, a charter bus provides a professional and punctual arrival for conferences held at the resort. We can set up a shuttle schedule to transport guests between the casino and off-site hotels if needed.
Address: 22777 Soboba Rd, San Jacinto, CA 92583
Historic Hemet Theatre
Step back in time at the Historic Hemet Theatre. This Art Deco gem, built in the 1920s, is one of the oldest movie houses in the country and now serves as a community arts center. It hosts classic movie nights, tribute band concerts, and community theater productions. It is a wonderful venue for senior communities, church groups, or nostalgic film buffs to catch a show in a vintage atmosphere.
Why Rent a Bus: Located right on Florida Avenue, parking can sometimes be scattered or limited for large groups trying to park multiple cars close together. A minibus rental can drop your group off right in front of the marquee for that perfect photo opportunity before the show. Charter Bus Hemet specializes in senior transportation, offering buses with kneeling features or lifts if requested to ensure accessibility for all group members. Enjoy the show knowing your comfortable ride is waiting just outside.
Address: 216 E Florida Ave, Hemet, CA 92543
Southern California Railway Museum
Located just west of Hemet in Perris, the Southern California Railway Museum (formerly the Orange Empire Railway Museum) is the West's largest collection of railway artifacts. It is a fantastic destination for families and large groups. Visitors can ride vintage trains and trolleys and explore vast barns filled with historic locomotives. They also host major annual events like "Day Out With Thomas" which draws massive crowds.
Why Rent a Bus: For large events like the Thomas the Tank Engine days or the steampunk festivals, traffic and parking can be intense. A charter bus rental simplifies the logistics entirely. We can drop your group at the group entrance, avoiding the long trek from the overflow parking lots. This is also a favorite for school field trips; keep the kids entertained on the short drive over with onboard WiFi and PA systems for teachers to make announcements.
Address: 2201 S A St, Perris, CA 92570
Day Trip to Temecula Wine Country
While not technically in Hemet, Temecula Valley Wine Country is less than an hour away and is a top destination for Hemet residents planning special events. With over 40 wineries, hot air balloon rides, and fine dining, it is the ultimate spot for weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. Venues like Wilson Creek Winery or South Coast Winery offer stunning backdrops for group gatherings.
Why Rent a Bus: Wine tours and driving do not mix. Renting a charter bus or a sprinter party bus is the absolute best way to experience Temecula. You can build a custom itinerary visiting 3 or 4 of your favorite vineyards. You can store cases of wine you purchase in the overhead bins or luggage bays. Most importantly, everyone gets home safely. The drivers know the winding roads of Rancho California Road perfectly, ensuring a smooth and relaxing ride for your entire party.
Address: 35960 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591 (Wilson Creek Winery)
Day Trip to Idyllwild
Escape the valley heat by taking a group trip up to Idyllwild. Located in the San Jacinto Mountains above Hemet, this quaint mountain town offers art galleries, unique shops, and cooler temperatures. It is a popular retreat for church groups, nature lovers, and anyone looking for a pine-scented getaway. The drive up Highway 74 is scenic and winding, offering panoramic views of the valley below.
Why Rent a Bus: The mountain roads leading to Idyllwild can be intimidating for drivers unfamiliar with the curves and elevation changes. Let a professional Charter Bus Hemet driver handle the mountain driving while your group relaxes and takes in the views through panoramic windows. A charter bus is perfect for transporting large groups to camps or retreats in the area, providing plenty of space for camping gear, musical instruments, and luggage.
Address: 54201 N Circle Dr, Idyllwild-Pine Cove, CA 92549 (Idyllwild Town Center)
