Los Angeles is a sports fan’s dream destination. Right after New York City, LA has the second-highest number of professional teams in the country. Whether you’re planning a group tour of LA with fellow sports fans or you’re taking your Little League team on a field trip, the City of Angels won’t disappoint.

If you need a group transportation option to LA sports venues, call up Los Angeles Charter Bus Company at 310-667-6197 to book a private bus rental. Traveling around LA is already a major hassle, and adding a group to the equation will make it even more difficult. Not to mention, if you’re headed to a pro sports game, gameday traffic can be a nightmare. Rent a bus with a professional driver to simplify your group’s travel experience. Hop on a private charter bus rental with reclining seats, WiFi, and TVs with DVD players to explore the best of Los Angeles’ sports scene in complete comfort!
