Charter buses can load and unload passengers at most public venues, schools, and event spaces in Visalia, but parking locations may vary depending on local regulations and facility policies. Common pickup and drop-off points include the Visalia Convention Center (E Acequia Ave), Rawhide Ballpark (N Dinuba Blvd), major hotel parking lots, and school campuses with designated bus zones.

Downtown loading is typically done on wider streets with curb space, but it’s important to avoid blocking intersections or fire lanes. If your destination requires special arrangements—such as hospital campuses, business parks, or wedding venues—our team will coordinate with the facility to identify the best loading zone. Long-term bus parking is available at larger venues, some city lots, and private properties by arrangement. Always confirm parking details when booking your trip.

It’s best to book your charter bus rental as early as possible—ideally at least one to three months in advance. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can sell out quickly during these times. For major events or multi-day trips (such as Sequoia tours or out-of-town tournaments), booking three to six months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible if we have availability, but you’ll have more vehicle options and better pricing if you reserve early.
