Whittier Concert Bus Rentals

Two of the biggest concert venues in the country sit about 25 miles west of Whittier on the 105 and the 405 — and on show nights, that stretch of freeway earns every bad reputation it has. Kia Forum (3900 W Manchester Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90305) holds more than 17,000 fans and hosts a near-constant rotation of major touring acts, from residencies to one-night stadium events. SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301) pushes that capacity past 70,000 for stadium-level shows.

Parking policies differ by event: Kia Forum parking usually opens three hours before the event and closes one hour after, while SoFi requires a valid parking pass and generally opens concert lots three to four hours before the event starts.

A charter bus rental from Whittier loads your whole group at one pickup point, takes the 605 to the 105 west, and drops everyone at the venue's designated motorcoach area — no splitting into separate cars, no paying per-car parking, no waiting 45 minutes for a rideshare after the encore. Check the Kia Forum getting-here page and the SoFi Stadium parking and transportation page for current bus drop-off guidance before your show, and call 562-783-5720 to lock in your date.

At SoFi, buses and shuttles unload on northbound Kareem Court via westbound Pincay Drive; post-event pickup is at Kareem Court and Manchester Boulevard, while non-NFL oversized vehicles need a Red Zone pass and enter through Century Boulevard and Yukon Avenue. Use the official SoFi Stadium bus and oversized-vehicle directions to give your group one fixed curb location before the encore.

Whittier is about 18 miles from Rose Bowl Stadium (1001 Rose Bowl Dr, Pasadena, CA 91103), which hosts major festival events, stadium concerts, and one-day multi-act shows throughout the year. The Rose Bowl sits inside a residential neighborhood, and event traffic is directed through marked approaches and parking lots; shuttle details vary by event, and the walk from remote lots to the stadium gates can run 20 minutes or more depending on where your car lands. On big festival days, the 210 and the 134 both back up significantly in the hours before gates open.

Rather than splitting your group across four cars and hoping everyone ends up in the same lot, a charter bus or minibus rental from Whittier keeps the whole group together from pickup to drop-off. Check the Rose Bowl getting-here directions for current shuttle and event-access protocols before your event. Enter your trip details into the online quote tool and compare vehicles in under 30 seconds!

The Rose Bowl's official directions say event shuttles run from the Parsons Engineering Complex in Old Town to Lot B, while rideshare locations vary by event. Save the Rose Bowl shuttle and rideshare guidance in the group chat so everyone knows whether to return to Old Town or the event-specific pickup point.

Two major concert venues sit within easy reach of Whittier in opposite directions — and both come with their own parking headaches. Honda Center (2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806) is about 20 miles south on the 605 to the 91, hosting arena-level touring acts year-round; general parking is included with event tickets at onsite lots, including the Katella Garage and Cerritos Garage. Long Beach Arena (300 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802) and the adjacent Terrace Theater draw mid-size concert crowds into downtown Long Beach, where street parking is metered, time-limited, and gone well before showtime.

Heading to Anaheim? A minibus from Whittier takes the 605 south to the 91 west and drops your group at the Honda Center area — confirm current drop-off guidance on the Honda Center transportation page before your show. Going to Long Beach?

Same idea, different direction on the 605. One bus, one flat rate, and nobody circling Ocean Boulevard at 11pm looking for a rideshare.

Honda Center currently routes rideshare and taxi pickup and drop-off across the street at ARTIC, 2626 E Katella Avenue, and says most event parking gates open three hours before the event starts. The Honda Center A-Z arena guide also notes changing parking and traffic patterns during OCVIBE construction, so use the ARTIC address as the group's fallback meeting point.

Whittier sits right at the crossroads of the 605, the 60, and the 5 — which sounds convenient until all three are gridlocked on a Friday night with 70,000 people trying to reach SoFi Stadium at the same time.
