One of our recent wedding shuttle bus rentals in Carlsbad was for a couple who wanted to have their reception at a winery in Temecula. They had about 100 guests coming in from out of town, so they booked two 56-passenger charter buses to take everyone from the hotel in Carlsbad to the winery in Temecula. The buses picked up the guests at 2:00 PM and arrived at the winery by 3:00 PM, just in time for the ceremony. After the reception ended at 10:00 PM, the buses took everyone back to the hotel. The total cost for the two buses was $2,800.
Approximate Travel Time: 1 hour
A local Carlsbad couple wanted to make sure their guests could enjoy the entire wedding day without worrying about driving, so they booked a round-trip charter bus from Carlsbad to San Diego. Guests were picked up at a hotel in Carlsbad Village and shuttled down I-5 to a waterfront venue near Harbor Island. After the reception, everyone loaded back onto the bus for a safe ride home. This package covered the entire day, including a brief stop in Encinitas to pick up a few additional guests. The couple paid $1,950 for a private, air-conditioned charter bus with comfortable seating and onboard storage for gifts and personal items.
We used Shuttlebus.net for our wedding in Carlsbad and they made everything so easy. The driver was on time, super friendly, and got everyone to the venue in downtown Carlsbad and back to our hotel in Oceanside without any issues. The company was flexible with our schedule changes and the pricing was really reasonable. Would definitely recommend for any event!
We booked Shuttlebus.net for our wedding in Carlsbad Village and it was perfect. They picked up our guests from the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and dropped them off right at Park 101 for the reception, then took everyone back at the end of the night. The driver was on time and super friendly, and it made everything so easy for everyone.
Absolutely saved our wedding! We had a last-minute transportation issue for our Carlsbad wedding at Leo Carrillo Ranch, and Shuttlebus.net stepped in with a minibus that fit our 25 guests perfectly. The driver was so friendly, the bus was clean and comfortable, and everything ran exactly on time. They made a stressful situation completely seamless. So grateful for their help!
We hired Shuttlebus.net to handle transportation for our wedding at The Crossings at Carlsbad, and they were fantastic! The driver showed up right on time to pick up our guests from the Cape Rey Hilton, and the whole process was super smooth. It made everything so much less stressful, and our guests really appreciated not having to worry about parking or driving after the reception.
We had our wedding at Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach and needed to get guests from the Westin Carlsbad Resort. I called Shuttlebus.net after getting a bunch of quotes and they offered the best price and were the most responsive. They handled everything perfectly. The driver was early, the vehicle was clean, and everyone got to the venue on time. Highly recommend!
