Why charter a bus to Los Angeles Convention Center?

Plan charter bus transportation to the Los Angeles Convention Center. Drop-off on Figueroa St or Convention Center Drive. Bus pickup and drop-off also available on Gilbert Lindsay Drive off Pico Blvd.

The Los Angeles Convention Center is one of the largest convention facilities on the West Coast, with over 720,000 square feet of exhibit space across its South Hall and West Hall. Located in downtown LA at the intersection of Figueroa Street and Pico Boulevard, the LACC hosts major events including the LA Auto Show, Anime Expo, E3, and hundreds of corporate conferences and trade shows each year.

Getting a large group to the convention center by car means dealing with downtown LA parking rates, limited garage space, and the traffic congestion that comes with sharing a block with Crypto.com Arena and L.A. LIVE. A charter bus eliminates all of that — your group gets dropped directly on Figueroa Street or Convention Center Drive, steps from the entrance, while your driver handles parking off-site. For multi-day conventions, a charter bus can run morning and evening shuttles between your hotel and the LACC on a set schedule.

Charter buses to the LA Convention Center are common for corporate conference groups, trade show exhibitor teams, school field trips, and large delegations attending conventions. The venue's downtown location makes it accessible from hotels across the LA metro area, and a professional driver familiar with downtown one-way streets and event-day road closures keeps your group on schedule.

Los Angeles Convention Center Charter Bus FAQ

For South Hall and West Hall arrivals, use Figueroa Street (southbound) or Convention Center Drive. For select events, a dedicated bus pickup and drop-off zone operates on Gilbert Lindsay Drive, located off W Pico Blvd on the south side of the complex. Confirm the active loading zone with your event coordinator, as it varies by event.
No. The LACC parking garages — West Hall Garage and South Hall Garage — cannot accommodate oversized vehicles including charter buses and RVs. The garages hold approximately 5,600 standard vehicle spaces. Your charter bus driver will need to park off-site. Contact the convention center at (213) 741-1151 to ask about event-specific oversized vehicle arrangements.
During large conventions like Anime Expo or the LA Auto Show, parking fills early and surrounding streets see heavy congestion. Standard garage parking ranges from $27 to $42 depending on the event. Charter buses avoid this entirely — drop your group at the door and the driver parks off-site. General parking hours are 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Arrive 30-60 minutes before your event or registration time. Downtown LA traffic around Figueroa and Pico is heavy during morning and afternoon rush hours, and major conventions create additional congestion. The LACC is adjacent to Crypto.com Arena and the L.A. LIVE entertainment district, so overlapping events can compound traffic. Build in extra time if your event coincides with a game or concert next door.
The LACC is served by Metro's Pico Station on the A and E lines, a short walk from the South Hall. DASH bus Route F stops on Figueroa Street adjacent to the convention center. For groups splitting across multiple vehicles, the Metro station provides a reliable backup meeting point at the corner of Pico Blvd and Flower Street.
