Private Wedding, Rehearsal Dinner & Bachelorette Shuttles in Berkeley

berkeley private wedding rehearsal dinner and bachelorette shuttles in berkeley

Your guests won't have to stress over steep hill parking or navigating winding roads in the Berkeley Hills. Hosting your ceremony at the UC Botanical Garden at 200 Centennial Drive? Your shuttle can drop guests off right at the main entrance turnaround before staging down the hill, since Centennial Drive has tight curves and limited oversized parking. For receptions at the historic Berkeley City Club on Durant Avenue or rehearsal dinners in the Gourmethetto along Shattuck Avenue, your driver handles the narrow downtown streets and metered parking zones. After you book online through the national booking platform, our confirmation department calls to verify every hotel pickup and venue stop!

Frequently Asked Questions About Berkeley Private Event Bus Rentals

Not sure what you need? Let us help! Just call us at (707) 230-5410, every single day of the year.

Does Charterbusberkeley.com own the buses in its network?

No, and that's the whole point! Charterbusberkeley.com is a comparison website, not a local bus company, so you're never stuck with just one fleet and can compare options from independent operators across Berkeley and California.

How quickly can I get a price quote for my Berkeley private event?

You can see live availability, interior photos, and charter bus pricing in under 30 seconds by filling out one quick online form! No account is needed, and we'll also send your free quote straight to your text and email so you can share it with your group.

Where can a charter bus drop off and park in Downtown Berkeley?

In Downtown Berkeley along Shattuck Avenue and Center Street, charter buses must use active white passenger loading zones for quick 5-minute drop-offs and avoid AC Transit red bus lanes. Because downtown garages have low height clearances, drivers typically stage offsite at surface lots near the Berkeley Marina or along Gilman Street.

What happens after I book my bus online?

After you reserve and pay on the national booking platform, a local independent operator supplies your vehicle.
