Charter bus parking and loading zones vary depending on the neighborhood and venue. In downtown LA, designated bus zones are available near major attractions like Staples Center, LA Live, and Union Station. Hollywood Boulevard has limited curb space for drop-offs near the Walk of Fame and TCL Chinese Theatre, while Griffith Observatory requires advance reservations for bus parking. Beaches like Santa Monica and Venice have specific lots for oversized vehicles, but they fill up quickly on weekends. If you’re visiting a museum, stadium, or theme park, check their website for bus parking instructions or contact our team for guidance. We recommend planning your route and stops in advance to avoid traffic delays or parking tickets.
