A few of the companies we’ve worked with
San Leandro Marina and Marina Park
For groups looking to enjoy the fresh bay breeze and spectacular views without the crowds of San Francisco's Crissy Field, the San Leandro Marina is the perfect destination. This expansive recreational area offers paved trails, picnic areas, and stunning panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline and the Bay Bridge. It is an ideal spot for family reunions, company picnics, or a relaxing stop during a sightseeing tour. The park features large grassy areas perfect for group activities, and the mile-long walking trail along the shoreline is flat and accessible for visitors of all ages.
Parking at popular waterfront parks can be a hassle, especially on weekends when lots fill up quickly. When you book a charter bus rental in San Leandro, your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance to Marina Park (14001 Monarch Bay Dr, San Leandro, CA 94577). While your group sets up for a picnic or heads out for a walk along the water, your driver handles the parking logistics. Plus, our buses come with ample undercarriage storage, meaning you can easily transport coolers, folding chairs, outdoor games, and picnic supplies without cramping your legroom inside the cabin.
Drake's Brewing Company
San Leandro has quietly become a powerhouse in the Northern California craft beer scene, and Drake's Brewing Company is the crown jewel. Located in a gritty, industrial setting behind a Walmart, this former Caterpillar tractor factory is now a haven for beer lovers. The Drake's Barrel House offers a massive outdoor seating area and an impressive tap list featuring their famous Denogginizer Double IPA and 1500 Pale Ale. It is a fantastic venue for bachelor parties, birthday celebrations, or corporate happy hours looking to unwind after a long week.
The most responsible way to enjoy San Leandro's brewery scene is with a designated driver. When you rent a party bus or minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company San Leandro, you ensure that everyone in your group gets home safely. Your private shuttle can pick you up from your office or hotel, drop you off right at the Barrel House (1933 Davis St #177, San Leandro, CA 94577), and be waiting to take you to your next destination or back home. With a driver behind the wheel, your group can sample flights and pints to their hearts' content without worrying about rideshare surges or appointing a DD.
Lake Chabot Regional Park
Just east of the city limits lies one of the East Bay's most beautiful natural escapes: Lake Chabot Regional Park. This 315-acre reservoir offers a plethora of outdoor activities, including fishing, boat rentals, hiking trails, and the popular Lake Chabot Golf Course. It is a prime location for school field trips focused on ecology, boy scout and girl scout outings, or corporate wellness retreats. The marina area has a cafe and plenty of picnic tables, making it a great central hub for your group's day out in nature.
Lake Chabot is a popular destination, and the parking lots can become chaotic, especially during the summer months. By organizing a charter bus rental, you consolidate your group into one vehicle, reducing your environmental footprint and ensuring no one gets lost navigating the winding roads leading to the park. Your bus driver can drop your group near the Marina (17600 Lake Chabot Rd, Castro Valley, CA 94546) for easy access to boat rentals and trailheads. Afterward, your group can relax in the air-conditioned cabin of your bus, escaping the afternoon heat while recounting the day's adventures.
The Historic Bal Theatre
For a dose of nostalgia and entertainment, the Historic Bal Theatre is a must-visit landmark in San Leandro. Originally opened in 1946, this Art Deco gem has been beautifully restored and now hosts a variety of events, including concerts, comedy shows, and classic movie screenings. It serves as a cultural hub for the community and offers a unique, vintage atmosphere that you won't find at modern multiplexes. It is an excellent destination for senior center outings, fan clubs attending a specific show, or private events looking for a venue with character.
Coordinating arrival times for a show can be stressful when everyone is driving separately. A traffic jam on I-580 could mean half your group misses the opening act. With a private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company San Leandro, your entire group arrives together and on time. We can arrange a drop-off right in front of the marquee at 14808 E 14th St, San Leandro, CA 94578, giving your group a VIP arrival experience. After the show, skip the rush to the parking lot; your bus will be ready and waiting to whisk you away to a post-show dinner or back to your drop-off point.
Casa Peralta
Step back in time at Casa Peralta, a historic home that offers a glimpse into the region's Spanish and Mexican heritage. This grand Spanish-style villa, remodeled in 1926, features beautiful hand-painted tiles, wrought-iron fixtures, and lush gardens. It is part of the San Leandro History Museum complex and serves as a fascinating educational stop for students learning about California history or architecture enthusiasts. The site often hosts community events and is available for tours, providing a quiet, educational respite in the middle of the city.
Field trips and historical tours require precise timing and organization. Booking a charter bus ensures that students, teachers, and chaperones travel comfortably and safely. Our buses can be equipped with PA systems, allowing tour guides or teachers to brief the group on the history of the Peralta family and the Rancho San Antonio land grant before arriving at the site (384 W Estudillo Ave, San Leandro, CA 94577). Additionally, keeping the group together prevents the logistical nightmare of carpooling and finding street parking in the downtown area.
Monarch Bay Golf Club
Located adjacent to the San Leandro Marina, Monarch Bay Golf Club offers a premier golfing experience with sweeping views of the bay. The course features the 18-hole Tony Lema course, named after the local golf legend, and the 9-hole Marina course. It is a favorite spot for corporate tournaments, charity golf outings, and bachelor parties. The facility also includes a driving range and a banquet center, making it a comprehensive destination for a day of sport and socializing.
Golf bags are bulky, and fitting four sets of clubs plus four passengers into a standard sedan is a tight squeeze. When you rent a charter bus or a minibus for your golf outing, storage is never an issue. Our buses feature spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate golf clubs for your entire roster. Your group can relax in reclining seats, mentally preparing for the game or celebrating a great round with drinks on the way home. We can drop you off right at the clubhouse (13800 Monarch Bay Dr, San Leandro, CA 94577) for a hassle-free tee time.
Ghiringhelli's Pizzeria
No group trip is complete without a great meal, and in San Leandro, Ghiringhelli's Pizzeria is a local institution. Known for their hearty portions, fresh ingredients, and sports bar atmosphere, it's the perfect place to feed a hungry sports team after a tournament or a large family group. They offer a variety of Italian staples, from craft pizzas to pasta and salads, ensuring there is something for everyone. Their capability to handle larger parties makes them a top choice for group dining in the city.
Finding parking for 20 or 30 cars at a popular restaurant during peak dinner hours is nearly impossible. A charter bus rental eliminates this headache entirely. Your driver can drop your hungry group off at the front door (1535 Washington Ave, San Leandro, CA 94577) and go park the bus while you enjoy your meal. Afterward, there’s no need to worry about food comas behind the wheel; your group can climb aboard the bus, connect to the WiFi, and relax on the ride home.
Marina Square Center
For groups interested in some retail therapy, the Marina Square Center offers a convenient collection of outlet stores and popular retailers. Located right off I-880, it’s a great stop for tour groups passing through the East Bay or for a dedicated shopping day trip. With stores like Nike, Nordstrom Rack, and Gap Factory, visitors can find great deals on brand-name merchandise. It’s an easy, accessible location that provides a quick shopping fix without the chaos of larger, more crowded malls.
Why visit by bus? Shopping trips often result in lots of bags, which can clutter up a car quickly. A charter bus offers plenty of room—both in the overhead bins and the luggage bays—to store all your purchases securely. Plus, if your group wants to split up for an hour or two to hit different stores, the bus serves as a perfect central meeting point. Your driver can drop you off centrally at 1201 Marina Blvd, San Leandro, CA 94577, and pick you up when everyone has shopped until they dropped.
