A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Computer History Museum
For any group visiting Silicon Valley, the Computer History Museum (1401 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043) is an absolute must-see. This institution is dedicated to preserving and presenting the stories and artifacts of the information age and exploring the computing revolution's impact on society. It is the perfect destination for school field trips, corporate team-building outings, and tech enthusiasts alike. Your group can explore exhibits featuring everything from the abacus to the smartphone, including massive supercomputers and autonomous vehicles.
When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Mountain View, handling the logistics of a museum visit becomes effortless. We can arrange for a curb-side drop-off right at the main entrance, ensuring your group stays together and maximizes their time exploring the exhibits rather than walking from distant parking lots. If you are bringing a school group, our fleet includes comfortable, modern motorcoaches equipped with TV screens and DVD players to play educational documentaries on the way to the museum. For corporate groups, a minibus with onboard WiFi allows your team to stay connected and discuss the exhibits in real-time. Let us handle the driving while you dive into the history of the digital world.
Shoreline Amphitheatre
As one of the premier outdoor music venues in Northern California, the Shoreline Amphitheatre (One Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043) hosts the biggest names in music, from legendary rock bands to modern pop stars and symphony orchestras. With a capacity of 22,500, major events here draw massive crowds, which inevitably leads to heavy traffic congestion on Rengstorff Avenue and Amphitheatre Parkway. Parking can be expensive and chaotic, often requiring a long walk to the gates.
The best way to enjoy a concert at Shoreline is by booking a private party bus or charter bus with Charter Bus Mountain View. Skip the parking nightmare entirely! Your driver can drop your group off near the entrance and pick you up once the encore is over. A private bus rental also serves as the ultimate designated driver, allowing your group to enjoy drinks and pre-game excitement on the way to the show comfortably. With a premium sound system and LED lighting on select party buses, the concert experience starts the moment you step onboard. Whether you are a group of friends or a corporate team enjoying a night out, we ensure you get home safely after the show.
The Googleplex (Google Headquarters)
No trip to Mountain View is complete without a drive by the famous Googleplex (1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043). While most interior buildings are restricted to employees and their guests, the exterior campus is a sight to behold and a popular spot for tech tourism. Visitors can walk around the immaculately landscaped grounds, see the famous Android Lawn Statues, and ride the colorful Google bikes (if available for guests). It is a pilgrimage site for anyone interested in the tech industry.
Navigating the sprawling campus can be confusing for those unfamiliar with the area. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Mountain View, you can easily tour the perimeter and stop for photo opportunities at the Android statues without worrying about where to park a caravan of cars. We specialize in corporate tech tours and can seamlessly connect a visit to the Googleplex with other Silicon Valley giants in nearby Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Cupertino. Your driver will handle the navigation through the tech parks while your group relaxes in air-conditioned comfort, perhaps even using the onboard power outlets to keep cameras and phones charged for photos.
NASA Ames Research Center
For groups interested in aerospace and science, a visit to the NASA Ames Research Center (Moffett Field, CA 94035) is an inspiring experience. Located at Moffett Field, this major NASA research center plays a critical role in many of NASA's missions. While the center itself has restricted access, the Moffett Field Historical Society Museum offers incredible insights into the history of the airfield and the massive Hangar One, one of the world's largest freestanding structures.
This is an excellent destination for educational field trips. Charter Bus Mountain View works with schools and universities to provide comfortable, reliable transportation for students of all ages. Instead of cramming into traditional yellow school buses, upgrade your field trip with a modern charter bus featuring reclining seats and onboard restrooms—a lifesaver for longer trips or when traveling with younger children. We ensure that your academic outing stays on schedule, giving you plenty of time to explore the exhibits and learn about the future of space exploration.
Downtown Mountain View (Castro Street)
If your group is looking for the perfect place to dine, shop, and soak in the local culture, look no further than Downtown Mountain View, centered along the vibrant Castro Street (Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94041). This pedestrian-friendly district is packed with highly-rated restaurants featuring diverse cuisines, from authentic ramen and dim sum to Mediterranean and classic American fare. It is also home to the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.
Parking in downtown Mountain View can be scarce, especially on weekends and during dinner hours. Avoid the frustration of circling for spots by renting a minibus for your dinner outing or corporate happy hour. Charter Bus Mountain View can arrange for a convenient drop-off right near the heart of the action on Castro Street. After your meal or show, your driver will be waiting to take everyone home or to the next destination. This is particularly useful for corporate events where you want to keep the team together for networking, or for wedding rehearsal dinners where you want to ensure out-of-town guests arrive at the restaurant easily.
Shoreline Lake Park
For a breath of fresh air and outdoor recreation, Shoreline Lake Park (3160 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043) is a fantastic destination. This man-made saltwater lake offers opportunities for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The surrounding park features beautiful trails, picnic areas, and a boathouse bistro. It is an ideal spot for company picnics, family reunions, and youth group outings.
When you head to Shoreline Lake with a large group, you are likely bringing along picnic supplies, sports gear, or extra changes of clothes. A full-size charter bus rental from Charter Bus Mountain View offers massive undercarriage luggage bays, providing ample space to store coolers, games, and gear without cluttering the passenger cabin. Your group can travel in comfort, and once you arrive, you can unload right near the picnic areas. After a day in the sun, everyone will appreciate the cool, air-conditioned ride back home.
Rengstorff House
Located within Shoreline at Mountain View, the Rengstorff House (3070 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043) is one of the finest examples of Victorian Italianate architecture on the West Coast. Built in 1867, this historic home is now a museum and a popular venue for weddings and private events. Its lush gardens and vintage charm make it a picturesque setting for any special occasion.
If you are planning a wedding at the Rengstorff House, Charter Bus Mountain View can provide elegant and reliable wedding shuttle services. We can transport your guests from their hotels in Mountain View or Palo Alto directly to the venue, ensuring no one arrives late or gets lost. Our fleet includes sleek, modern buses that fit the aesthetic of a high-end event. We can even run a shuttle loop between the reception and the hotel at the end of the night, ensuring all your guests get home comfortably after celebrating.
Deer Hollow Farm
Nestled within the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve, Deer Hollow Farm (22500 Cristo Rey Dr, Cupertino, CA 95014) offers a delightful glimpse into farm life and local history. Although technically in Cupertino, it is a staple destination for Mountain View families and schools. The farm features a historic barn, organic gardens, and plenty of farm animals, making it a hit with younger children and educational groups.
Reaching Deer Hollow Farm requires a bit of a hike from the parking lot, and the parking lot itself fills up very quickly on weekends. By booking a charter bus, you can coordinate a drop-off at the most convenient access point allowed for large vehicles. Charter Bus Mountain View is experienced in navigating the roads around Rancho San Antonio. A bus rental ensures that your school group or summer camp arrives together, and teachers can use the onboard PA system to give instructions or do a headcount before disembarking for the hike to the farm.
