Stanford home football Saturdays (September through November) and Stanford Commencement (mid-June) are the highest-demand periods for Peninsula bus rentals — book four to six months out for those dates. Prom season at Palo Alto Unified schools (Paly and Gunn) runs late April through May and fills up fast; book as early as possible.

Shoreline Amphitheatre concert season runs May through October. The slowest windows are typically January outside of major conference weeks and early February.
It depends on the road and the vehicle. The route to Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello involves steep, winding mountain roads where a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach is not recommended. A minibus (15–35 passengers) or a sprinter van is the right call for that particular destination.
For wineries and venues accessible via standard two-lane roads, a larger bus may work fine. When you submit your quote request, describe your destination and the network will match you with a vehicle appropriate for your route. Call 408-618-5990 if you have questions about a specific destination.
Vehicle capacity through the network ranges from 6 to 8 passengers in a sprinter van up to 56 passengers in a full-size motorcoach. Sprinter vans fit 6–14 passengers and are great for small executive groups or winery runs on narrow roads. Minibuses seat 15–35 passengers and are compact enough to navigate tight campus roads and hotel loading zones.
Party buses seat 15–50 passengers with lounge-style perimeter seating. Full-size charter buses seat 40–56 passengers and include undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, and overhead storage — ideal for airport runs, long-distance travel, and large group events. Compare all available sizes side by side when you fill out the quote form!
Stanford Stadium coordinates bus drop-off and parking on a per-event basis, and advance coordination is required through Stanford Athletics for large groups.

Call 408-618-5990 to lock in your game-day bus early!
For most Palo Alto trips, booking three to four months out gives you the best selection and pricing. For high-demand dates — Stanford home football Saturdays, Stanford Commencement in June, prom season in late April and May, and major Bay Area tech conference weeks — book four to six months out or more. Shoreline Amphitheatre concert nights and 49ers game days at Levi's Stadium also fill quickly.
The sooner you book, the better your vehicle options and the more predictable your pricing. Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates and fewer buses to choose from. Call 408-618-5990 right now to hold your date!
