Why charter a bus to Crypto.com Arena?

Plan charter bus transportation to Crypto.com Arena in DTLA. Drop-off in the white zone on Chick Hearn Court or Figueroa Street. Oversized vehicle parking requires 10 days advance notice.

Crypto.com Arena — formerly known as Staples Center — is downtown LA's premier indoor arena, seating up to 20,000 for basketball, hockey, concerts, and special events. It is home to the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers, the NHL's LA Kings, and the WNBA's LA Sparks. Located at the center of the L.A. LIVE entertainment district on Figueroa Street, the arena hosts over 250 events per year.

Driving to Crypto.com Arena means navigating downtown LA traffic and paying for parking in one of the arena's lots or surrounding garages. For groups, that multiplies into a coordination headache — multiple cars, multiple parking spots, and the inevitable post-game text chain of "where are you parked?" A charter bus drops everyone at the Chick Hearn Court white zone steps from the entrance, and your driver handles parking off-site while your group walks straight in.

Charter buses to Crypto.com Arena are common for Lakers and Kings game-day groups, corporate outings, concert transportation, and birthday celebrations. The arena's downtown location means your bus can easily combine the event with a pre-game dinner at L.A. LIVE or a post-game stop elsewhere in DTLA. Just remember to book your oversized vehicle parking at least 10 days ahead — space is limited and fills fast for marquee events.

Crypto.com Arena Charter Bus FAQ

Charter buses use two designated white zones for passenger drop-off and pickup: the white zone on Chick Hearn Court (eastbound) between L.A. Live Way and Georgia Street, and the white zone on Figueroa Street (southbound) between 12th Street and Pico. These are the same zones used by taxis, limousines, and other commercial vehicles.
Oversized vehicle parking for buses, sprinter vans, and limousines is very limited and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Standard parking passes are not valid for oversized vehicles. Buses are not accepted in Lot 1. Space permitting, other lots may accommodate oversized vehicles for an additional fee. Call (213) 765-6815 at least 10 days before your event to arrange a prepaid parking pass.
Arrive 60-90 minutes before event time. The arena is in the heart of downtown LA's L.A. LIVE entertainment district, where traffic is heavy on event nights — especially when the arena hosts a game while the nearby convention center or other L.A. LIVE venues have concurrent events. Figueroa Street and Chick Hearn Court see the heaviest congestion in the hour before doors open.
Metro's Pico Station on the A and E lines is a 5-minute walk from the arena at the corner of Pico Blvd and Flower Street. The arena is also accessible via multiple Metro bus lines along Figueroa Street. For groups splitting between a charter bus and public transit, Pico Station makes a convenient secondary meeting point. Over 3,300 parking spaces are in arena-owned lots, with 10,000+ additional spaces within a 7-10 minute walk.
Yes. Post-event pickup uses the same white zones on Chick Hearn Court and Figueroa Street. Expect significant congestion for 30-45 minutes after events end, as up to 20,000 fans exit the arena simultaneously. Have your driver stage nearby and move to the curb when your group texts that they are outside. Designate a specific meeting spot — the Chick Hearn Court white zone near L.A. Live Way tends to be easier to find in a crowd.
