A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Experience the Roar at the Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway
For motorsports fans in the Central Valley, there is no venue quite as iconic as the Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway. Located at the Tulare County Fairgrounds, this one-third-mile clay oval track attracts some of the biggest names in sprint car racing, including the World of Outlaws. The energy here is electric, with the roar of engines and the smell of race fuel filling the air. However, attending a major race event often means dealing with significant dust, crowded parking lots, and long walks to the grandstands. By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Tulare, your group can bypass the stress of navigating the fairgrounds traffic. Your driver can drop you off near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for your seats or the concession stands without skipping a beat.
A private bus rental is also the perfect base of operations for a day at the races. Before the green flag drops, your group can enjoy a tailgate in the comfort of an air-conditioned bus, away from the valley heat and dust. With plenty of undercarriage storage, you can easily bring along folding chairs, coolers, and snacks for the group. After the final lap, you won't have to worry about fighting the exodus of cars leaving the venue; your driver will be waiting to transport you comfortably home or to a local restaurant for a post-race meal. Whether you are organizing a trip for a car club or a corporate outing , the Thunderbowl Raceway is a must-visit destination. The raceway is located at 620 S K St, Tulare, CA 93274, and you can reach the fairgrounds office at 559-332-0640.
High School Football Rivalries: The Bell Game
In Tulare, high school football isn't just a pastime; it is a major community event that draws thousands of spectators. The annual "Bell Game" between Tulare Union High School and Tulare Western High School is one of the most spirited rivalries in the state, often deciding league championships and bragging rights for the year. The game is typically held at the historic Bob Mathias Stadium, named after the two-time Olympic decathlon champion and Tulare native. Parking around the high school and stadium can be a nightmare during these high-attendance games, with streets jammed for blocks. For alumni groups, student sections, or large families attending the game, a shuttle bus rental is the most efficient way to ensure everyone arrives together and on time for kickoff.
Charter Bus Rental Company Tulare provides safe and reliable transportation for student-athlete teams as well. We understand that teams need focus and rest before a big match. Our full-sized charter buses offer plenty of legroom for players to stretch out, as well as massive storage bays for pads, helmets, and uniforms. Unlike traditional yellow school buses, our motorcoaches come equipped with comfortable seating and climate control, ensuring the team arrives fresh and ready to play. Whether you are the home team or traveling for an away game, we have the logistics covered. Bob Mathias Stadium is located at 755 E Tulare Ave, Tulare, CA 93274.
Catch a Visalia Rawhide Game Nearby
Just a short drive north of Tulare lies the city of Visalia, home to the Visalia Rawhide, a Minor League Baseball team and Single-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Playing at Valley Strong Ballpark, the Rawhide offers a quintessential American baseball experience that is perfect for summer group outings. The stadium is known for its intimate atmosphere, where every seat feels close to the action. Groups from Tulare often travel to Visalia for company picnics, church group outings, or birthday celebrations at the ballpark. Instead of coordinating a convoy of personal vehicles on Mooney Boulevard or Highway 99, book a private minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Tulare to keep the whole group united.
Renting a bus for a baseball game allows your group to enjoy the festivities responsibly. Many groups enjoy "Thirsty Thursdays" or craft beer nights at the stadium; with a charter bus driver, you have a built-in designated driver for the evening. You can enjoy the game, have a few drinks, and relax knowing that your ride home to Tulare is secure. We can even arrange for a pick-up and drop-off schedule that allows for a stop at a local restaurant in downtown Visalia before heading back. Valley Strong Ballpark is located at 300 N Giddings St, Visalia, CA 93291, and their ticket office can be reached at 559-332-0640.
Road Trip to Fresno State Bulldogs Games
For fans of Division I collegiate sports, the Fresno State Bulldogs are the pride of the Central Valley. Located less than an hour north of Tulare, a trip to see the Bulldogs play football at Valley Children's Stadium or basketball at the Save Mart Center is a rite of passage for local sports fans. However, game day traffic on Highway 99 can be heavy, and parking at the university is often expensive and distant from the venues. Charter Bus Rental Company Tulare specializes in "Red Wave" fan transportation, taking large groups of boosters, alumni, and students from Tulare directly to the heart of the action in Fresno.
A charter bus rental transforms the commute into a pre-game party. With a premium sound system and onboard TVs, you can watch pre-game analysis or listen to hype music while you ride. The undercarriage luggage compartments are spacious enough to hold tents, grills, tables, and coolers, making us the perfect choice for serious tailgaters. Once you arrive, your driver can drop you off near the designated tailgating zones or stadium entrances. After the game, you can skip the long lines to exit the parking structures and nap in a reclining seat on the ride back to Tulare. Valley Children's Stadium is located at 1600 Bulldog Ln, Fresno, CA 93710.
Youth Sports and Tournaments at Elk Bayou
Tulare is a hub for youth soccer and outdoor sports, with the Elk Bayou Soccer Complex serving as a premier destination for tournaments in the region. Hosting teams from across California, this complex features multiple fields and often sees high attendance during weekend competitions. If you are a club director or a coach organizing travel for a tournament, relying on parents to drive individual cars can lead to logistical headaches, late arrivals, and tired players. Charter Bus Rental Company Tulare offers team transportation solutions that keep your roster organized and focused. Traveling together on a bus builds team chemistry and ensures that every player is present for warm-ups.
Between games, the bus serves as a cool, shaded retreat where players can rest, hydrate, and escape the intense San Joaquin Valley sun. Our buses can be equipped with power outlets and WiFi, allowing players to recharge their devices or catch up on homework during downtime. We can also provide shuttle services between the sports complex and local hotels or restaurants, taking the burden of navigation off the parents and coaches. The Elk Bayou Soccer Complex is a staple of the community, and we are proud to support local youth athletics with top-tier transportation. The complex is generally accessible via the main roads, but having a driver handle the specific routing ensures you never miss a kickoff.
Golf Outings at Tulare Golf Course
For those who prefer a quieter, more participatory sporting experience, the Tulare Golf Course offers a fantastic 18-hole championship layout. Dating back to the 1960s, this course features mature trees and wide fairways, making it a favorite for corporate tournaments and charity fundraisers. Organizing a golf outing involves transporting not just people, but bulky golf bags and equipment. A standard car trunk can rarely fit more than two sets of clubs comfortably. With a minibus or charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Tulare, you have ample space to transport your entire group along with their clubs, shoes, and gear without risk of damage or crowding.
A charter bus is the ideal solution for corporate golf retreats or bachelor parties starting their day on the links. Your group can meet at a central location, load up the bus, and enjoy coffee and conversation on the way to the course. After the round is over, enjoy a drink at the clubhouse without worrying about the drive home. We can also shuttle your group to other nearby courses if you are planning a multi-course golf weekend in the Central Valley. The Tulare Golf Course is located at 5300 S Laspina St, Tulare, CA 93274, and tee times can be booked by calling 559-332-0640.
The World Ag Expo: A Different Kind of Sport
While not a traditional " sporting event ," the World Ag Expo held at the International Agri-Center in Tulare is a massive event that features equestrian demonstrations, rodeo-style events, and physical competitions that draw huge crowds. As the largest annual agricultural exposition in the world, it attracts over 100,000 visitors. Traffic during the expo is notoriously heavy, and parking can be miles away from the main exhibits. Charter Bus Rental Company Tulare provides essential shuttle services for corporate groups, exhibitors, and attendees coming to the expo. Navigating the crowds is significantly easier when you have a dedicated bus to drop you near the gates.
Whether you are a Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter coming for an educational trip or a group of industry professionals attending seminars, a charter bus ensures you stay together. The Agri-Center also hosts other events throughout the year, including equestrian competitions and tractor pulls at the grandstands. Our buses are perfect for hauling large groups who want to experience the rural culture and competitive spirit of the Central Valley without the hassle of driving in Expo traffic. The International Agri-Center is located at 4500 S Laspina St, Tulare, CA 93274.
