Why Limit Yourself to One Fleet? Compare Private Event Transportation From a Network of Bus Companies
On this website, you'll find something most people don't expect: the ability to compare buses, vehicle types, amenities, and pricing from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Chico — all in one place, all in under a minute. Chicocharterbuscompany.com is not a local bus company and doesn't own a single vehicle. That's exactly the point! Because you're not limited to one fleet, you can compare a compact 15-passenger minibus for a small group heading to Laxson Auditorium (900 W 1st St, Chico, CA 95929) against a 56-passenger charter bus for a large group heading down SR-99 to Sacramento — and find the one that actually fits your group.

More Buses, More Options for Your Private Event Transportation
You'll love the variety of bus types available through the network serving Chico! Sprinter vans work beautifully for small executive groups or wedding party pickups. Minibuses seat 15 to 35 passengers and navigate downtown Chico streets — including the tight turns around W 2nd St near El Rey Theatre (230 W 2nd St, Chico, CA 95928) — far more easily than a full-size coach.
Party buses seat 15 to 50 passengers and come loaded with LED lighting, a built-in bar, and Bluetooth sound for bachelorette nights and birthday celebrations. And full-size charter buses give large groups reclining seats, WiFi, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays for longer runs to Sacramento or Redding. Whatever your group needs, the network has it!

Group Transportation to Chico State Events and Campus Shuttles
Browse a large selection of buses for Chico State University events — from move-in weekend family shuttles to commencement day transportation! Chico State commencement typically takes place in mid-May at University Stadium (400 W 1st St, Chico, CA 95929), drawing large numbers of families from across Northern California. Oversized vehicle parking on campus is coordinated through Chico State Parking Services, and buses typically stage at the Brice Ave. South gravel lot, the university's designated drop-off area for commencement guests.
Instead of sending every family hunting for parking on one of Chico's busiest days of the year, one charter bus keeps your whole group together. Compare available buses and pricing for homecoming, campus concerts at Laxson Auditorium, and every Chico State event — all in one quick search!
Silver Dollar Fair and Chico Festival Transportation
Get online pricing in seconds for group transportation to the Silver Dollar Fair (2357 Fair St, Chico, CA 95928) and Chico's biggest annual festivals! The Silver Dollar Fair runs late May through early June and is Butte County's largest annual event — drawing enormous crowds and heavy SR-99 congestion near the Fair St exit on peak days. Instead of circling the fairgrounds for parking, a charter bus or minibus drops your whole group curbside on Fair St and picks everyone up when you're ready to head home. Chicocharterbuscompany.com also makes it easy to find transportation for the Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest at 1075 E 20th St and summer events at Chico City Plaza (415 Main St, Chico, CA 95928).

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Tours, Pub Crawls, and Brewery Shuttles
Let Chicocharterbuscompany.com handle the ride so your group can enjoy every stop on a Chico brewery crawl! Chico is one of Northern California's craft beer capitals, anchored by the world-famous Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. (1075 E 20th St, Chico, CA 95928), whose sprawling campus includes a taproom, restaurant, and the Big Room concert venue with standing-room capacity for up to 500 guests. A party bus or minibus rental keeps your group together from Sierra Nevada to downtown stops like Madison Bear Garden (316 W 2nd St, Chico, CA 95928), with no one worrying about parking downtown or driving after a long evening of tastings.
You set the stops, you set the schedule — the bus handles the rest! Call 530-325-3635 to compare options now.
Wedding, Prom, and Private Event Shuttles in Chico
Fill out one quick form and compare wedding shuttles, prom party buses, and private event transportation from a network of bus companies serving Chico and Butte County! Weddings at Patrick Ranch Museum (10381 Midway, Chico, CA 95928) or the Lakeside Pavilion (2565 California Park Dr, Chico, CA 95928) are beautiful — but both require guests to navigate rural roads or busy park parking. A wedding shuttle bus picks up your guests from hotels along W Sacramento Ave and delivers them to the venue without a single parking headache.
For prom, both Chico High School (901 Esplanade, Chico, CA 95926) and Pleasant Valley High School (1475 E Ave, Chico, CA 95926) see peak party bus demand every April and May — book early for the best selection and pricing!
Sacramento Airport Transfers and Long-Distance Group Travel from Chico

Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is approximately 90 miles south of Chico via SR-99, a drive that takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic. Instead of coordinating a caravan of cars for a group flying in or out of SMF, one charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays handles every bag and every passenger in a single, comfortable trip.
Full-size motorcoaches come with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets — everything your group needs for the SR-99 run south. Chicocharterbuscompany.com also makes it easy to arrange long-distance transportation to Sacramento, Redding, and beyond.

Oversized vehicle parking during Chico State commencement at University Stadium is coordinated through Chico State Parking Services. Buses typically use the Brice Ave. South gravel lot, the university's designated drop-off area for commencement guests. Because assignments can shift by ceremony, it's a good idea to confirm current commencement parking details directly with Chico State before the event.
Book your bus early — mid-May commencement weekend is one of the busiest transportation periods in all of Butte County.
Book as early as possible — ideally two to three months in advance. The Silver Dollar Fair runs late May through early June and draws the largest crowds of any annual event in Butte County. That same stretch overlaps with Chico State's spring commencement and prom season at both Chico High and Pleasant Valley High, which means demand across the entire local bus network spikes at once.
Waiting until the last minute risks higher prices and limited availability.
Absolutely — a party bus is one of the most popular choices for Chico brewery nights! Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is a natural anchor for the evening, and downtown stops like Madison Bear Garden (316 W 2nd St) are easy additions. Party buses seat 15 to 50 passengers and come with a built-in bar, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound.

Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is about 90 miles south of Chico via SR-99, roughly a 1.5-to-2-hour drive. A full-size charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays is the most comfortable and efficient option for a large group — everyone travels together, every bag fits, and no one is stuck coordinating a multi-car caravan on the freeway. Fill out one quick form on Chicocharterbuscompany.com to compare available charter buses and pricing for the Chico-to-SMF run in under a minute!
Downtown Chico has metered street parking and tight blocks along W 2nd St, Main St, and Broadway — full-size charter buses cannot park at most downtown curbs. Near El Rey Theatre, buses typically drop off on W 2nd St and stage on nearby side streets like W 3rd St or Broadway while your group is inside. A minibus is often the more nimble choice for downtown Chico stops.
When you request your quote, mention your specific venue and the network will match you with the right vehicle size!
