The Santa Barbara Zoo is a must-see attraction when visiting Santa Barbara.

Guests can see everything from red pandas to ring-tailed lemurs up close in natural habitat enclosures. With kids in tow, families can easily spend a full day wandering through the zoo’s thirty acres.
Public parking at the Santa Barbara Zoo tends to fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons. Avoid the headache of hunting for an open spot or getting stuck in a long line of cars by booking a charter bus for your group. Our comfortable buses have plenty of room for families large and small. You’ll enjoy door-to-door service from your Santa Barbara hotel straight to the zoo entrance. Chat with loved ones, play trivia games, or just relax and take in the views during the short drive.

The cost of renting a charter bus in the Santa Barbara area can vary quite a bit depending on the size of vehicle you need, the dates of your trip, and additional amenities requested. Rather than provide misleading ballpark figures, our helpful reservation staff prefers to give each customer a custom quote for their unique trip. Once we understand details like your passenger count, preferred vehicle type, trip dates, and must-have onboard features, we can accurately estimate the total cost of your motorcoach rental.
Weeklong trips during the peak tourism months of June through August tend to fall on the pricier side, as do vehicles like multi-level coaches and limo buses. We're happy to work within your budget though by suggesting more affordable vehicles and trip timing. In fact, many save money by traveling midweek or during the fall and winter shoulder seasons. Avoiding major events like Old Spanish Days in July/August and avoiding big UCSB graduation days also helps yield the best pricing.
Contact our team at 866-664-9893 whenever you're ready to get trip details finalized and receive an instant charter bus quote. Securing your preferred dates and vehicles is a breeze once you have that quote in hand!
