A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Emerald Glen Park & The Wave
If you are looking for the ultimate destination for a summer group outing, family reunion, or youth group event, Emerald Glen Park is the crown jewel of Dublin's park system. Spanning 48 acres, this massive recreational area features sports fields, picnic areas, and the state-of-the-art aquatic center known as "The Wave." The Wave Waterpark is a massive draw for groups, featuring a waterslide tower, a splash zone for younger kids, and an indoor natatorium for year-round swimming. It is the perfect spot to cool off during those warm East Bay summers.
Parking at Emerald Glen Park can be notoriously difficult, especially on weekends or during the popular Dublin Farmers' Market held on Thursday evenings during the summer. By renting a charter bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, your group can be dropped off right at the main entrance (4201 Central Pkwy, Dublin, CA 94568). Your driver will handle the parking logistics while your group enjoys the water slides or sets up a picnic on the expansive lawns. With plenty of undercarriage storage on our full-sized coaches, you can easily bring along coolers, towels, and sports equipment without cluttering the cabin.
Dublin Heritage Park and Museums
For educators and history enthusiasts, a trip to the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's past. This 10-acre park preserves the history of Dublin, featuring historic buildings such as the 1856 Murray Schoolhouse, the 1910 Kolb House, and the Old St. Raymond's Church. It is an ideal destination for school field trips , historical societies, and even wedding parties looking for a rustic, vintage backdrop for photos.
When organizing a field trip here, safety and organization are paramount. Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin provides modern, reliable transportation for school districts across the Bay Area. Unlike traditional yellow school buses, our charter rentals come with air conditioning and comfortable seating, ensuring students and chaperones arrive refreshed and ready to learn. We can coordinate a drop-off directly at the museum entrance (6600 Donlon Way, Dublin, CA 94568) and ensure the bus is ready and waiting when your tour concludes. Whether it's a third-grade history lesson or a private guided tour for a senior center, we have the perfect vehicle for your educational outing.
Hacienda Crossings Shopping Center
Sometimes, the best group activities revolve around good food and entertainment. Hacienda Crossings is one of the premier lifestyle centers in the East Bay, offering a massive Regal Cinemas IMAX theater, diverse dining options ranging from casual eateries to sit-down restaurants, and plenty of shopping. It is a fantastic destination for corporate happy hours, youth group movie nights, or a relaxing stop during a longer road trip through California.
Navigating a large shopping complex with a convoy of cars can lead to split-up groups and late arrivals. A private shuttle from Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin keeps everyone together. We can pick your group up from your office, school, or hotel and drop you off curbside near the theater or your restaurant of choice at 4980 Dublin Blvd, Dublin, CA 94568. After the movie or meal, your driver will be waiting to take you home comfortably. This is especially useful for late-night movie premieres or corporate dinners where guests might want to enjoy a few drinks without worrying about driving home.
Livermore Valley Wine Country
While located just next door to Dublin, the Livermore Valley Wine Country is the primary reason many of our clients book private transportation. As one of California's oldest wine regions, it boasts over 50 wineries, including historic giants like Wente Vineyards and Concannon Vineyard. It is a top-tier destination for bachelorette parties, wedding rehearsal dinners, and corporate retreats. Staying in a hotel in Dublin gives you easy access to these vineyards without the higher price tag of Napa accommodations.
The most critical component of a successful wine tour is a designated driver. With a party bus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, your entire group can indulge in tastings responsibly. We can create a custom itinerary that hops between your favorite tasting rooms, such as Wente Vineyards (5050 Arroyo Rd, Livermore, CA 94550) or Darcie Kent Estate Winery. Our buses offer comfortable interiors, climate control, and plenty of space to store cases of wine you purchase along the way. Enjoy the scenic drive through the rolling hills of the Tri-Valley while we handle the navigation on Tesla Road and beyond.
Iron Horse Regional Trail
For active groups, cycling clubs, or corporate wellness retreats, the Iron Horse Regional Trail is a significant attraction. This multi-use trail spans over 30 miles, connecting Dublin to Concord and passing through several cities in between. It follows the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way and offers a flat, paved surface perfect for walking, running, and cycling. It's a great way to experience the outdoors within the urban environment of the East Bay.
Logistics for a one-way hike or bike ride can be tricky, but Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin makes it easy. We can provide point-to-point transportation for your group. For example, we can drop your group off at the Dublin access point near the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station and pick you up miles down the trail in Danville or Walnut Creek for a lunch stop. Our full-size charter buses feature large luggage bays that can often accommodate bicycles or hiking gear, making linear treks convenient and accessible for large groups.
Stoneridge Shopping Center
Located right on the border of Dublin and Pleasanton, Stoneridge Shopping Center is a major indoor mall featuring high-end retailers, department stores like Macy's and JCPenney, and popular dining spots like The Cheesecake Factory and PF Chang's. It is a hub for holiday shopping trips, tour groups looking for retail therapy, and teenagers celebrating birthdays. Its central location makes it an easy addition to any Dublin itinerary.
During peak holiday seasons or big sales events, parking at Stoneridge can be a nightmare. By booking a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin, you bypass the circling for a spot. Your driver can drop your group off at a designated entrance (1 Stoneridge Mall Rd, Pleasanton, CA 94588), allowing you to maximize your shopping time. For tour operators bringing groups from out of town, the mall offers a great break stop with plenty of food options and air-conditioned comfort before heading to your next destination.
Mount Diablo State Park
Dominating the skyline of the East Bay, Mount Diablo State Park offers some of the most breathtaking views in California. On a clear day, visitors can see the Golden Gate Bridge, the Farallon Islands, and even the Sierra Nevada range from the summit. It is a fantastic destination for nature lovers, photography clubs, and scout troops looking to explore the great outdoors just a short drive from Dublin.
The roads leading up to the summit are winding and narrow, requiring a skilled hand behind the wheel. The drivers at Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin can navigate these types of roads comfortably. We can transport your group to the Rock City area for exploration or take you as far up the mountain as large vehicles are permitted. After a day of hiking and sightseeing at the Summit Visitor Center (Summit Rd, Walnut Creek, CA 94598), your group can relax in the comfort of a climate-controlled bus for the descent, resting their legs after a day of adventure.
West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station
For corporate groups and commuters, the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is a critical transit hub. It connects the Tri-Valley area to Oakland, San Francisco, and SFO Airport. Many companies in Dublin use this station as a connection point for employees coming from the city or clients flying in for meetings.
Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin specializes in last-mile commuter shuttles . If your corporate campus is located a few miles from the BART station (5801 Owens Dr, Pleasanton, CA 94588), we can set up a recurring shuttle service to bridge that gap. This is a massive perk for employee retention and satisfaction. We also handle one-time transfers for large corporate groups arriving via BART for conferences or meetings in Dublin. Instead of coordinating dozens of rideshares, a single shuttle bus can move your entire team efficiently to your office or local hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dublin Group Travel Transportation
How far in advance should I book my bus rental in Dublin?
We generally recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and itinerary are finalized. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important if your trip falls during peak seasons like spring (for proms and graduations) or summer (for weddings and tours). Booking early ensures you have the best selection of vehicles and locks in the best rates. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us at 510-244-1510.
Can we drink alcohol on the bus?
Yes, alcohol is generally permitted on our party buses and charter buses, provided that all passengers are of legal drinking age (21+). If you plan to consume alcohol on board, please let your reservation specialist know at the time of booking. A refundable damage deposit may be required. Please note that for safety reasons, glass bottles may be restricted, and the driver reserves the right to terminate the ride if behavior becomes unruly.
What happens if our trip goes longer than scheduled?
We understand that events don't always run exactly to the minute. If your trip extends beyond the contracted time, you can usually keep the bus for longer, provided it does not conflict with another scheduled trip for that vehicle. Overtime is billed at an hourly rate, which will be outlined in your rental agreement. We recommend building a little buffer time into your itinerary to avoid stress or additional charges.
Is there a minimum rental time for charter buses?
Yes, most charter bus rentals have a minimum rental period, typically ranging from 4 to 5 hours. This covers the costs associated with preparing the bus, dispatching the driver, and fuel. During peak seasons or weekends, minimums may be higher. Our reservation specialists can explain the specific minimums for your desired vehicle and date when you call for a quote.
Can we leave personal items on the bus during our event?
Yes, you can leave personal items on the bus while you are attending your event, such as a concert, wedding, or tour. The bus will be locked and secured by the driver while you are away. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Dublin is not responsible for lost or stolen items. We recommend taking valuable items like wallets, phones, and electronics with you. If you are renting the bus for a multi-day trip, you can certainly leave luggage in the secure undercarriage bays overnight.
