About Charter
Charterbusberkeley.com vs. Calling a Single Berkeley Bus Company
Getting stuck with whatever one local bus company happens to have parked in its lot on your travel date is a thing of the past! Charter
| What Matters to Your Group | Charter | Calling a Single Berkeley Bus Company |
|---|---|---|
| Bus types | Sprinter vans, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 15- to 50-passenger party buses and 56-passenger charter buses, side by side | Only the bus types one company owns, if one is open on your date |
| Getting prices | Online prices in under 30 seconds from one quick form, with no account needed | Calling company after company during business hours, repeating your trip and waiting on callbacks |
| Peak dates | Independent bus companies compete for your trip, even on prom and game dates | One company's peak-date rates, or no bus at all if it's sold out |
| Last-minute and big groups | Same-day rentals, and one bus or several for a wedding, convention or team | Only the buses and drivers one company has free |
| Packages | Hourly, one-way, round-trip, multi-stop, split-time, full-day or multi-day, and call us for less than the standard minimum | That company's own minimums and packages |
| Help | Call us 24/7, 365 days a year | Depends on that company's hours |
| After you book | An instant booking confirmation, then a call to go over every pickup, drop-off and stop | Varies by company |
| Paying | All payments accepted when you book online | That company's own payment options |

Does Charterbusberkeley.com own the buses in Berkeley?
No, and that's the whole point! Charter
Where can a charter bus drop off and park near UC Berkeley and local venues?
Around UC Berkeley, charter buses typically load and unload along Bancroft Way, Piedmont Avenue beneath the Haas Grand Staircase for California Memorial Stadium, or at the Lawrence Hall of Science plaza on Centennial Drive. Because campus garages have tight height clearances and the City of Berkeley strictly enforces a 5-minute commercial anti-idling rule, buses usually stage off-site at approved commercial lots near the Berkeley Marina or along the I-80 corridor. After you book, our confirmation department calls to verify every pickup, drop-off, and parking stop on your schedule!
