A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Torrance Cultural Arts Center: The Heart of the City
If you are looking for high-quality performance arts, concerts, and cultural gatherings, the Torrance Cultural Arts Center (TCAC) is the epicenter of the South Bay. Located at 3330 Civic Center Dr, Torrance, CA 90503, this massive complex includes the James R. Armstrong Theatre, the George Nakano Theatre, and the Ken Miller Recreation Center. It hosts everything from symphonies and ballet performances to large-scale corporate conferences and community galas.
For groups attending a show at the Armstrong Theatre, a charter bus rental is the ultimate convenience. The Civic Center complex is expansive, and while parking is available, it can be a long walk from the outer lots to the theater entrance, especially for elderly group members or those in formal attire. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Torrance, your driver can provide seamless curbside drop-off right at the plaza entrance. Your group can step off the bus and head straight to their seats without the stress of navigation.
We often facilitate transportation for school field trips here as well. The center hosts educational plays and cultural exhibits year-round. Our charter buses come equipped with PA systems for teacher announcements and climate-controlled cabins to keep students comfortable. Whether you are seeing a touring Broadway act or a local jazz concert, let us manage the logistics so you can focus on the performance.
The Torrance Armed Forces Day Parade
Torrance is famous for hosting the nation's longest-running Armed Forces Day Parade. This massive event draws crowds from all over Southern California to honor the military with a spectacular procession of military vehicles, marching bands, and flyovers. The parade route typically runs down Torrance Boulevard, creating a festive but heavily congested traffic environment. Roads are closed, detours are everywhere, and finding parking near the parade route can be nearly impossible for a single car, let alone a convoy of them.
This is where Charter Bus Torrance shines. We have extensive experience navigating special event road closures. If you are organizing a group of veterans, a school band, or a community organization to attend or participate in the parade, a private shuttle bus is essential. We can arrange a designated drop-off point outside the road closure zones, ensuring your group arrives together and on time.
For participating groups, our undercarriage storage bays are perfect for transporting uniforms, instruments, and banners. After the parade, your driver will be waiting at a pre-arranged pick-up location, ready to whisk you away to a celebratory lunch at a local brewery or restaurant in Old Town Torrance. Don't let traffic ruin a day of patriotism; let us handle the driving.
Concerts on the Coast: Torrance Beach and Riviera Village
While Torrance Beach (387 Paseo De La Playa, Torrance, CA 90501) is known for its pristine sands and lack of crowds compared to Santa Monica, it is also a hub for summer events. The nearby Riviera Village hosts the annual Summer Festival, featuring live music, beer gardens, and hundreds of vendors. It is a fantastic event, but parking in the residential streets of the Hollywood Riviera is strictly enforced and incredibly scarce.
Instead of fighting for a metered spot, book a minibus rental for your group. A minibus is agile enough to navigate the tighter coastal streets while still providing ample room for your beach gear, coolers, and folding chairs. We can drop your group right at the entrance of the festival or the base of the beach ramp.
Imagine enjoying a full day of sun, live music, and dining in Riviera Village without the looming anxiety of a parking meter expiring or the need to designate a driver if you choose to enjoy the beer garden. With Charter Bus Torrance, you have a built-in designated driver ensuring everyone gets home comfortably. Our buses are equipped with powerful air conditioning, a must-have after a long day in the California sun.
Old Town Torrance Street Faire and Antique Fair
For a more laid-back vibe, the Old Town Torrance Street Faire is a monthly event that transforms the historic downtown area into a bustling market of antiques, collectibles, and live entertainment. Located around Sartori Ave, Torrance, CA 90501, this event is a treasure hunter's paradise. However, the charm of Old Town lies in its historic, narrow streets, which aren't designed for high-volume parking.
If you are bringing a senior tour group, a social club, or a large family to explore the antiques, a charter bus is your best asset. Not only do we provide door-to-door service, but our motorcoaches offer massive undercarriage storage bins. Did someone in your group buy a vintage chair or a large piece of art? No problem. We have the space to haul it back home for you. You won't have to play Tetris trying to fit unique finds into the trunk of a sedan.
Charter Bus Torrance specializes in senior citizen transportation. We can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts upon request, ensuring that every member of your group can enjoy the history and charm of Old Town Torrance without barriers.
The Gateway to SoFi Stadium and The Kia Forum
While located just north in Inglewood, SoFi Stadium (1001 Stadium Dr, Inglewood, CA 90301) and the Kia Forum are the premier concert venues for the entire Los Angeles region. Torrance serves as the perfect staging ground for these events. Many groups choose to stay in Torrance hotels—like the Marriott or the DoubleTree—because they are more affordable and quieter than those right next to LAX or the stadium, yet only a short drive away.
If you have tickets to see a global superstar like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, or the Rolling Stones, do not drive yourself. Parking at SoFi Stadium can cost upwards of $100 per car, and the traffic entering and exiting the venue is legendary for its gridlock. By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Torrance, you can split the cost of transportation among your group, often saving money compared to individual parking passes and rideshares.
More importantly, the party starts the moment you step on the bus. Our party buses and charter buses can come equipped with AUX/Bluetooth sound systems, flat-screen TVs, and WiFi. You can blast your favorite albums, hype up the group, and enjoy a few drinks on the way to the show. We handle the traffic on the 405 while you handle the fun.
Del Amo Fashion Center: Events and Entertainment
As one of the largest shopping malls in the United States, the Del Amo Fashion Center (3525 W Carson St, Torrance, CA 90503) is a destination in itself. Beyond retail, the center hosts movie premieres at the AMC theater, holiday events, and pop-up concerts in the Lifestyle Wing. It is a popular destination for youth groups, international tour groups, and shopping excursions.
Coordinating a drop-off at Del Amo can be tricky due to its sheer size and multiple entrances. When you book with Charter Bus Torrance, the drivers know exactly where to go. We can arrange a specific pick-up and drop-off zone—usually near the Outdoor Village or the main valet—so your group isn't wandering around the parking structures.
For corporate groups or international travelers, our buses offer reclining seats and plenty of overhead storage for shopping bags. If you are planning a "shop 'til you drop" excursion, having a private bus waiting for you is the ultimate luxury. You can rest your feet, charge your phone in our individual power outlets, and relax in a climate-controlled environment before heading to dinner.
Oktoberfest at Phoenix Club (and Local Breweries)
Torrance has an incredible craft brewery scene, with standouts like Monkish Brewing Co., Smog City, and Strand Brewing. While the historic Alpine Village has undergone changes, the spirit of Oktoberfest and beer appreciation lives on in Torrance's brewery district. Planning a brewery crawl for a birthday, bachelor party, or corporate team-building event?
A private shuttle is non-negotiable for comfort and convenience. Charter Bus Torrance acts as your designated driver. We can build a custom itinerary that takes you from Monkish (20311 S Western Ave, Torrance, CA 90501) to Absolution Brewing and beyond. You won't have to wait for Ubers or split the group up. You travel together, laugh together, and arrive comfortably together.
Our minibuses are perfect for these types of outings. They are compact enough to navigate industrial park driveways where many breweries are located, yet spacious enough to allow for socializing. Plus, with onboard WiFi, you can instantly upload your photos and check in on Untappd without draining your data.

Frequently Asked Questions About Torrance Concert Transportation
How far in advance should I book my charter bus for a concert?
We recommend booking as soon as you have your event date confirmed. For major concerts at venues like SoFi Stadium or the Hollywood Bowl, demand for charter buses spikes significantly. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best pricing. However, we also specialize in last-minute bookings, so don't hesitate to call us at 661-448-1290 even if your event is just around the corner.
Do you service areas outside of Torrance?
Absolutely! While we are proud to be Torrance's premier charter bus company, our service area extends throughout Southern California and beyond. We regularly transport groups to Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach, Anaheim (for Disneyland), Los Angeles, and even San Diego or Las Vegas. Whether your trip starts in Torrance and ends in Santa Barbara, or you need a pick-up at LAX, Charter Bus Torrance has you covered.
Is there parking for the bus at these venues?
Parking availability depends on the specific venue. Places like SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum have designated bus parking zones, but they often require a pre-purchased parking pass which can be quite expensive. Venues like the Torrance Cultural Arts Center have large lots, but bus parking should be verified in advance. Our team can help advise you on parking logistics. In some cases, it is cheaper for the bus to drop your group off and return for pick-up later, avoiding on-site parking costs entirely.
What amenities are standard on your buses?
Our fleet is modern and equipped with amenities designed for comfort. Standard amenities on most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, plenty of legroom, climate control (AC/Heat), overhead storage bins, and undercarriage luggage bays. Most of our buses also feature free WiFi and power outlets at every seat to keep your devices charged. Onboard restrooms are standard on 56-passenger motorcoaches. If you have specific needs, such as ADA accessibility or PA systems, just let our reservation specialist know when you call!
