Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your booking. The deposit amount is typically a percentage of the total rental cost and must be paid when you sign the contract. This ensures that your vehicle is reserved for your desired dates and won’t be booked by another group. The remaining balance can be paid later, but the deposit is mandatory upfront.

The final payment for your Downey charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Specific deadlines will be outlined in your contract, but full payment must be received prior to departure. We accept various forms of payment, including major credit cards and ACH transfers. If you have questions about your balance or payment schedule, our team is available 24/7 to assist.

Yes, your Downey charter bus quote includes a standard driver gratuity. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to offer an additional tip at the end of your trip. Most groups tip 10–20% of the total rental cost.

Yes, for overnight or multi-day trips, you’ll need to provide hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer easy parking for the bus and basic amenities.

Our team can recommend driver-friendly hotels if needed.

No, your Downey charter bus quote covers the cost of the vehicle, driver, fuel, and standard insurance, but does not include tolls, parking fees, or entrance fees to certain venues. These additional expenses are the responsibility of the group and should be paid directly during the trip. Common extra charges include parking at event venues, hotel lots, or attraction entrances. Our team can estimate these costs based on your itinerary.

Charter bus parking in Downey is available at large venue lots, school campuses, and public facilities. Popular locations include the Downey Theatre, Stay Gallery, Stonewood Center, and city parks with oversized vehicle spaces. For trips departing downtown, use the Metro Green Line station lot. Nearby, the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens and Commerce Casino offer bus-friendly parking. Always confirm in advance, as some lots require permits or charge fees. Our team can help identify the best parking options based on your itinerary.

Downey is served by Metro local bus lines, the nearby Green Line light rail, and limited Dial-a-Ride services, but these aren’t ideal for large groups or custom itineraries. Public transit routes rarely go directly between popular group destinations like schools, event venues, or corporate campuses, and schedules can be infrequent—especially nights and weekends.

It’s the fastest, easiest way to move a group of any size.
