Your Merced Party Bus With Popular Amenities
Not every group needs the same ride, and with different vehicle types across the network, you can match the bus to your actual plan.
A 25-passenger party bus heading out for a bachelorette night or birthday celebration comes loaded with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and wraparound seating. Minibuses are the right pick for UC Merced shuttles, airport runs, or wedding guest loops — reclining seats, powerful A/C, and overhead storage for bags and luggage. For longer hauls — Yosemite day trips, runs to Fresno Yosemite International Airport, or multi-stop event itineraries — a charter bus adds undercarriage storage, onboard restrooms, and WiFi.
Amenities vary by vehicle; call 559-900-0960 to match the right setup to your event.
Air-conditioning
Wraparound Leather Seats
AUX / Bluetooth Sound System

Group Transportation Services in Merced
Clovispartybuscompany.com helps you find group transportation for every occasion across Merced and the Central Valley — from airport shuttles and wedding guest loops to bachelorette nights, prom, sporting events, corporate shuttles, and school field trips. Whatever brings your group together in Merced, there is a bus in the network ready for it. Call 559-900-0960 to get started!

Merced Airport Shuttles & Transportation
Merced Regional Airport (MCE) at 1100 Airport Way handles limited commercial service through United Express, but most Merced-area travelers use Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) — about 60 miles south on CA-99 — or Sacramento International Airport (SMF) roughly 100 miles north on the same corridor. Either way, a group airport pickup is where an uncoordinated rideshare scramble gets expensive and slow fast.
A Merced airport shuttle through Clovispartybuscompany.com moves the whole group in one vehicle. For MCE arrivals, gather your group curbside at the ground level before the bus pulls up — the terminal is compact and the approach from Airport Way is straightforward. For groups flying into Fresno Yosemite International, the commercial ground transportation area is on the Arrivals level outside baggage claim; confirm your exact spot on the official FAT ground transportation page before your flight lands.
A 15–35 passenger minibus handles the Merced-to-FAT run comfortably, with overhead bins for carry-ons and undercarriage bays on larger vehicles for checked bags. Call 559-900-0960 to set up your Merced airport shuttle today!

Merced Bachelor & Bachelorette Transportation
A Merced bachelorette party bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com runs your group across downtown Main Street from first stop to last call without anyone worrying about the drive home. The onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound system keep the energy going between venues — so the whole crew stays together rather than splintering into separate cars that lose each other by the second stop.
Groups that want a bigger night often roll south on CA-99 to Fresno for a larger bar and club scene, or build the evening around a live show at Save Mart Center with a party bus ride both ways. For the bachelorette night itself, a 15- to 25-passenger party bus is the most popular size in the Merced area — large enough for the full bridal crew with room to move around, small enough to navigate downtown without issues. Call 559-900-0960 for bachelorette bus pricing and availability!

Merced Birthday, Sweet 16, & Quinceañera Party Bus Rentals
Merced has a large and tightly connected community that shows up for milestone celebrations — Sweet 16s and quinceañeras especially draw extended family and friend groups that need coordinated transportation between multiple pickup points across the city. A birthday party bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com handles groups from 15 to 50 passengers, with color-changing LED lighting, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound seating that matches the energy of the occasion.
Whether the celebration heads to a banquet hall on G Street, a venue in Atwater or Los Banos, or a birthday dinner followed by a night out downtown, the bus runs on the guest of honor's timeline instead of an app's surge schedule. To rent a party bus for a birthday, quinceañera, or any milestone event in Merced, call 559-900-0960 or use the online quote tool — and ask about white or black buses to match your event's color scheme when you request your quote!

Merced Concert Transportation & Shuttles
Downtown Merced's entertainment strip along Main Street draws regular show crowds, and metered street parking on surrounding blocks fills up well before doors open on busy event nights. A Merced concert bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com drops your group right at the venue entrance and waits nearby, so nobody is searching a pay lot when the first act goes on.
For bigger productions, Merced groups regularly make the run south on CA-99 to Fresno — Save Mart Center seats 15,000 and brings major touring artists through the Valley year-round. The Save Mart Center bus rental guide covers pickup logistics and the parking situation on event nights. For outdoor concerts, the Rotary Amphitheater at Woodward Park in northeast Fresno is another popular group destination.
A party bus keeps the energy running from Merced pickup to first song — built-in bar, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound make the ride part of the night. Call 559-900-0960 for concert bus pricing!

Merced Corporate Event Transportation
UC Merced (5200 N Lake Rd) is the newest University of California campus and one of the largest employers in Merced County, and its Lake Road approach becomes a genuine bottleneck during convocations, conferences, and graduation weekends. Moving a team from a downtown Merced hotel out to campus — an 11-mile run that backs up when events overlap — is exactly where a Merced corporate event shuttle through Clovispartybuscompany.com makes practical sense.
For corporate groups moving between Merced and Fresno — meetings along the Blackstone Avenue corridor, conferences at the Fresno Convention Center, or events at the Selland Arena complex — a charter bus covers the roughly 60-mile CA-99 run comfortably. Read the Selland Arena group transportation guide for venue-specific drop-off logistics. Minibuses also work well for executive group transfers and team-building shuttles between facilities across the Central Valley.
Call 559-900-0960 to discuss routing and scheduling for your next Merced corporate event!

Merced Private Event Transportation Services
The Merced County Fairgrounds (900 Martin Luther King Jr Way) hosts the annual Merced County Fair each June — one of the largest gatherings in the Central Valley, with multiple stages, carnival rides, food vendors, and a grandstand concert lineup drawing tens of thousands over the full run. On busy weekend evenings, the streets surrounding the fairgrounds back up for several blocks and on-site parking runs short well before the headliner set.
A Merced private event bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com solves the parking and coordination problems at once — one vehicle drops your group at the gate and returns at pickup time, no one is circling Martin Luther King Jr Way after the show. The same approach works for family reunions at local parks, birthday celebrations at banquet halls, church outings, and any group occasion where everyone needs to move together. Compare vehicle sizes from a 15-passenger minibus to a 50-passenger party bus through the online quote tool, or call 559-900-0960 for a quick quote!

Merced Homecoming & Prom Party Bus Rentals
Prom season across Merced's high schools — Merced High, Golden Valley High, El Capitan High, and others across the county — runs late April through May, and buses across the Central Valley get claimed within weeks of the calendar turning. For Merced prom: book by January or expect limited availability and higher rates come spring.
A typical Merced prom package covers pre-prom pickup, a photo stop at Lake Yosemite Regional Park or Applegate Park, venue drop-off, and a post-prom return — usually a five-to-six-hour rental for 25–30 students. To give you an idea of how pricing shakes out: a 6-hour prom rental for 30 students might run $1,500–$2,000 when booked four to six months out, and $2,500–$3,200 or more if booked in the final weeks before prom — example ranges that depend on vehicle, date, and itinerary. A Merced prom party bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com makes it easy to compare vehicles side by side well ahead of the spring rush.
Call 559-900-0960 now to check availability!

Merced School Event & Field Trip Transportation
Castle Air Museum in Atwater (5050 Santa Fe Dr — just five miles from downtown Merced) is one of the best school field trip destinations in the Central Valley: more than 70 military aircraft across the grounds of the former Castle Air Force Base, with group admission rates for school parties and free parking in the museum's large lot. A Merced school field trip bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com gets the whole class out and back in one vehicle — no parent carpool chains, no students split across three different minivans.
Applegate Park Zoo (714 W 25th St, Merced) is another popular stop for younger students — free admission inside one of the city's oldest public parks, with limited on-site parking that doesn't absorb school vehicles well. For longer field trips — UC Merced campus tours for high school students considering the UC system, or a run to the Big Fresno Fair — a charter bus with TVs, a PA system, and overhead storage makes the ride itself part of the experience. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; mention it when you request your quote.
Call 559-900-0960 to get your Merced field trip bus!

Merced Sporting Event Transportation
UC Merced Bobcats compete in NCAA Division III, with home games and events on campus along North Lake Road. The Lake Road approach backs up when campus events overlap with afternoon traffic, and visitor parking in the surface lots fills fast on game days. A group bus to a Bobcats event drops your crew at the campus entrance and handles parking off-site, so no one loses time circling after dark.
For bigger sporting events, Merced groups regularly run south to Fresno — Chukchansi Park for Fresno Grizzlies baseball, Save Mart Center for Fresno State basketball, and Valley Children's Stadium for Fresno State football. The Chukchansi Park bus rental guide breaks down drop-off logistics and bus parking, and the Valley Children's Stadium guide covers the football gameday approach on CA-99. A Merced sporting event bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com makes the 60-mile run on CA-99 in one coordinated trip.
Call 559-900-0960 for game-day bus pricing!

Merced Wedding Transportation & Shuttle Service
Merced wedding venues range from outdoor ceremony sites at Lake Yosemite to downtown reception halls and private ranches in the surrounding farmland — and moving 80 guests between a hotel block, ceremony, and reception without a parking coordination problem takes an actual plan. A Merced wedding shuttle bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com handles the guest loop so the couple doesn't have to manage it themselves.
A 15–35 passenger minibus is the most common pick for hotel-to-venue shuttle runs in Merced — it navigates the side streets near downtown venues, runs a tight pickup schedule, and keeps per-seat costs low for large guest lists. For weddings with guests coming from Fresno, Modesto, or Turlock, a charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays handles the out-of-town guests in one trip. And a 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the natural pick for the wedding party on the ceremony day itself.
Spring and fall weekends in Merced book out faster than most couples expect — call 559-900-0960 to get started early!

Merced Winery Tour & Pub Crawl Transportation
The San Joaquin Valley wine trail runs in both directions from Merced, and Lodi — one of California's most recognized wine appellations — is under 90 minutes north on CA-99. A Merced winery tour bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com makes a Saturday tasting loop genuinely low-key: nobody has to volunteer to skip the last flight, no cars lose each other between stops, and the bus waits at each winery while your group takes its time.
Closer to home, the downtown Merced bar scene on Main Street offers a solid pub crawl loop for a birthday group or bachelorette night. The corridor is compact enough that a 15- to 20-passenger party bus handles pickup-to-last-call on a single itinerary without needing to stage blocks away. Groups wanting to extend the night south to Fresno — where the bar and club scene runs later and the venues are larger — can build that into the route when they request their quote.
Call 559-900-0960 to put together your Merced winery tour or pub crawl bus today!

Check the party bus prices page for more detail!
Can a charter bus take my group from Merced to Yosemite National Park?
Yes — a charter bus or minibus is one of the most practical ways to move a group from Merced to Yosemite. CA-140 (the Yosemite Highway) runs about 75 miles east from Merced to the Arch Rock entrance of the Valley. Some roads inside the park have restrictions for longer vehicles, so check current access details on the official Yosemite driving guide before you finalize your route.
For most Valley day trips, buses can reach the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center area without issue. Coordinate your exact drop-off when you request your quote at 559-900-0960.
Which airport should Merced-area groups use?
Most Merced-area groups fly through Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT), about 60 miles south on CA-99, which has the widest range of nonstop destinations. Merced Regional Airport (MCE) offers limited commercial service. Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is roughly 100 miles north and works well for groups connecting north.
An airport shuttle through Clovispartybuscompany.com can handle pickup from any of these — call 559-900-0960 to set up the details.
What bus size works best for a Merced County Fair group?
For most groups headed to the Merced County Fairgrounds during the annual June fair, a 25–35 passenger minibus is the most practical option — large enough to move the group together, cost-effective for a 3-to-4-hour event rental, and easier to stage around Martin Luther King Jr Way when on-site parking fills. Larger parties of 50 or more should look at a full charter bus so the group stays together in one vehicle from pickup to drop-off and back.
Popular Merced Party Bus Destinations
A Merced group trip can go a lot of directions — from the military aircraft collection at Castle Air Museum in Atwater to a day run east into Yosemite Valley. Here are six destinations that consistently draw group transportation requests in and around Merced, with the logistical details worth knowing before you go.

Castle Air Museum
Castle Air Museum is one of the most impressive outdoor aviation collections in California — more than 70 military aircraft spread across the former Castle Air Force Base in Atwater, five miles from downtown Merced. The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (last admission 3:15 p.m.), with group tour rates available for parties of 15 or more; contact the museum directly at (209) 723-2178 or visit castleairmuseum.org to coordinate a group visit in advance.
Parking in the museum's ground-level lot is free and sized to accommodate full charter buses. A school field trip bus is a natural fit — the run from Merced is short, the admission is affordable, and there is no better collection of aircraft in this part of the Central Valley.
Address: 5050 Santa Fe Dr, Atwater, CA 95301. Phone: (209) 723-2178.

UC Merced
UC Merced (5200 N Lake Rd) is the newest University of California campus and the only research university in the Central Valley, opened in 2005. The Lake Road approach backs up during graduation weekends, orientation, and major campus events — visitor parking in surface lots is claimed early when big events run. Groups on campus tours typically unload near the Welcome Center, while event shuttles from downtown Merced hotels use the main campus entrance off Lake Road.
Check the official UC Merced parking and transportation page for current visitor access rules, and call 559-900-0960 to set up a campus shuttle from your hotel or downtown Merced.
Address: 5200 N Lake Rd, Merced, CA 95343. Phone: (209) 228-4400.

Merced County Fairgrounds
The Merced County Fairgrounds hosts the annual Merced County Fair, set for June 10–14, 2026, with livestock shows, carnival rides, grandstand concerts, and food vendors drawing huge numbers of visitors over the full run. On headliner nights, the streets surrounding the fairgrounds on Martin Luther King Jr Way back up for several blocks and on-site parking runs short before the main performance. A private event bus through Clovispartybuscompany.com drops your group at the gate and returns at pickup time — no hunting for a spot after the show ends.
The fairgrounds also hosts swap meets, rodeos, and private events year-round; visit mercedcountyfair.com for the current event calendar.
Address: 900 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Merced, CA 95341. Phone: (209) 722-1506.

Lake Yosemite Regional Park
Lake Yosemite Regional Park (7700 N Lake Rd) is Merced County's largest recreation area — a reservoir with picnic areas, hiking trails, a boat launch, and open fields that fill up fast on summer weekends and holiday dates. The parking area inside the park reaches capacity before noon on the busiest summer days, and the Lake Road approach adds congestion when UC Merced events overlap. A charter bus or minibus handles the group arrival cleanly: one vehicle, one arrival, no staggered cars pulling up an hour apart.
The park is also a popular photo stop for prom groups and quinceañera parties before the evening's main venue.
Address: 7700 N Lake Rd, Merced, CA 95340.

Applegate Park and Zoo
Applegate Park Zoo (714 W 25th St, Merced, CA 95340) offers free admission inside one of Merced's oldest public parks — one of the most popular school field trip destinations in Merced County for younger students. The zoo is open daily and the park has picnic areas that make it a frequent stop for family reunions and youth group outings. On-site parking is small, and the surrounding residential streets don't absorb school group vehicles or large family reunion crowds well.
A Merced school event bus handles the pickup-to-drop-off loop in one clean trip, with no carpool logistics and no oversized vehicles squeezing through a residential neighborhood.
Address: 714 W 25th St, Merced, CA 95340.

Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park sits roughly 75 miles east of Merced via CA-140, making Merced the natural staging point for group day trips from across the Central Valley. CA-140 follows the Merced River canyon into the Valley and enters through the Arch Rock Entrance near El Portal. Some roads inside the park have restrictions for longer vehicles, so check the official Yosemite driving guide and confirm your access plan before departure.
For most Valley day trips, buses can drop groups near the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center without running into those restrictions. Plan your Merced-to-Yosemite group trip through Clovispartybuscompany.com at 559-900-0960!
Arch Rock Entrance: CA-140, El Portal, CA 95318.
