A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Whittier College
Whittier College (13406 E. Philadelphia St, Whittier, CA 90601) is a private liberal arts staple where parking for massive events like Commencement is notoriously difficult. For visiting athletic teams or prospective student tours, we recommend utilizing the designated bus loading zone on Philadelphia Street, directly in front of the Mendenhall Administration Building. Avoiding the narrow residential streets of the College Hills is vital; the drivers know to stick to Hadley Street for easy access. Campus tours typically run Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. A 35-passenger minibus rental is the perfect size for navigating the campus perimeter without getting stuck in the tight turnarounds near the Graham Athletics Center.
Rose Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary
Spanning 1,400 acres, Rose Hills Memorial Park (3888 Workman Mill Rd, Whittier, CA 90601) is the largest cemetery in North America, attracting thousands of visitors for the annual Dia de los Muertos festival and large-scale memorial services. Navigating the internal winding roads like Skyway Drive in a private car is confusing and creates massive congestion during peak hours (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM daily). For large funeral processions or cultural tours, a 56-passenger motorcoach allows your entire group to remain together. Buses should enter through the Gate 1 main entrance on Workman Mill Road. There is a designated oversized vehicle staging area near the Skyview Chapel to ensure guests can unload safely without blocking the narrow cemetery veins.
Pio Pico City Historical Park
Pio Pico State Historic Park (6003 Pioneer Blvd, Whittier, CA 90606) is the five-acre home of the last Governor of Mexican California. It is a premier spot for local fourth-grade field trips and history buffs. The park is open Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Pioneer Boulevard is a busy thoroughfare, and the onsite parking lot is far too small for a 47-passenger school bus or a full-sized coach. We coordinate drop-offs directly at the park entrance on Pioneer Blvd, after which your driver will stage the bus at the nearby Whittier Marketplace parking area to keep the park’s historic atmosphere clear of idling engines.
Whittier Narrows Recreation Area
Technically bordering Whittier in South El Monte, Whittier Narrows (750 S. Santa Anita Ave, South El Monte, CA 91733) is a 1,492-acre hub for regional cross-country meets and massive festivals like the Legg Lake fishing derbies. When traveling here, your driver will avoid the 60 freeway "trash hill" congestion by taking Rosemead Boulevard. For large events, buses must enter via the Santa Anita Avenue entrance to access the specialized oversized vehicle parking in Area D. With over 4,000 five-star reviews, we are the experts in shuttling youth sports teams in 25-passenger minibuses equipped with climate control and undercarriage storage for gazebos, coolers, and athletic gear.
The Quad at Whittier
The Quad (13502 Whittier Blvd, Whittier, CA 90605) is the city's central shopping hub, featuring retailers like Burlington and T.J. Maxx. It serves as a major pickup point for community groups and senior center outings. Traffic on Whittier Boulevard is a constant "stop-and-go" challenge, especially between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. For group shopping trips or lunch outings, your 15-passenger luxury limo sprinter can utilize the wide loading lanes near the Olive Garden entrance. This allows passengers to unload directly at the curb, bypassing the hunt for multiple parking spots in the sprawling, often-congested surface lot.
Skyrose Chapel and Mausoleum
Located within Rose Hills, the Skyrose Chapel (3888 Workman Mill Rd, Whittier, CA 90601) is a breathtaking architectural landmark frequently used for weddings and high-profile ceremonies. The steep ascent to the chapel can be intimidating for out-of-town drivers. A professional shuttle service is the most efficient way to move wedding guests from hotels like the DoubleTree by Hilton Whittier to the hilltop. We recommend a sleek black or silver 24-passenger minibus for these events. Your driver will navigate the "S-curves" of the memorial park and drop guests at the circular turnaround directly in front of the chapel doors, ensuring nobody has to hike the incline in formal wear.
Whittier Museum
The Whittier Museum (6755 Newlin Ave, Whittier, CA 90601) offers a deep dive into the city's Quaker roots and the life of Richard Nixon. Open Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, the museum is located in a residential-adjacent area where street parking is restricted. For group tours, your bus driver will drop the group at the corner of Newlin Avenue and Philadelphia Street. A 30-passenger minibus is the ideal vehicle for this historic district, as its smaller footprint allows for easier maneuvering through the "Uptown" Whittier intersections. Passengers can enjoy the museum's "Victorian Cottage" exhibit while the bus stages a few blocks away near Central Park.
Radisson Hotel Whittier / Uptown Whittier
Uptown Whittier is the heart of the city's nightlife and dining, centered around the Radisson Hotel (7320 Greenleaf Ave, Whittier, CA 90602). With narrow streets and limited parking structures, bringing a group here for a corporate dinner or a pub crawl requires precision. Large 56-passenger motorcoaches should stay on Mar Vista Street or Greenleaf Avenue, as the side streets are too tight for the 45-foot turning radius. Our 15-passenger executive sprinters are the "Goldilocks" solution for Uptown—small enough to pull up to the Radisson's main lobby for an instant transfer to local favorites like the 6740 or Nixon Steakhouse.

Frequently Asked Questions About Whittier Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Whittier?
Pricing is tailored to your specific trip details, including passenger count, mileage, and duration.

Call 626-692-6440 for an instant 30-second quote.
Where can charter buses park in Uptown Whittier?
Oversized vehicle parking is extremely limited in the historic Uptown district. Most buses drop off at the Greenleaf Avenue curb and then move to designated staging areas near the Whittier Community Center or the transit lot on Comstock Avenue to avoid blocking local traffic.
Can you provide transportation for Whittier College graduation?
Yes, we specialize in Commencement shuttles. Because parking on campus is nearly impossible during graduation, we often run loops from off-site parking lots or local hotels directly to the drop-off zone near the North Quad.
Do your buses have storage for sports equipment?
Absolutely. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches and 35-passenger minibuses feature spacious undercarriage luggage bays, ideal for Whittier High School or La Serna High School teams traveling with heavy gear, coolers, and training equipment.
Is there a bus drop-off zone at Rose Hills?
Yes, Rose Hills has specific protocols for buses. Drivers are generally directed to Gate 1 or Gate 17 depending on the chapel location. We coordinate with the memorial park staff to ensure your bus has a designated staging spot near the service site.
