Share Your Trip Details Once and Compare Private Event Transportation Options Side by Side
Busrentalgilroy.com is a quote-comparison and referral website — not a local bus company, and not a motor carrier.

Instead, Busrentalgilroy.com brings together a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Gilroy, Morgan Hill, San Jose, and the surrounding South Bay region so you can compare more options and more packages than any one operator could ever offer.
Fill out one quick form, see pricing and vehicle photos from multiple providers in seconds, and choose the bus that fits your group — no account required, and a free quote is always available online or by phone at 669-239-4590. You get TONS of different bus types, TONS of different amenities, and pricing built around YOUR needs!
More Buses, More Options for Your Private Event Transportation
No matter the size of your group or the occasion, the network has a bus that fits! Heading to the Gilroy Garlic Festival with a big group and want to skip the Leavesley Road parking chaos? A 56-passenger charter bus keeps everyone together and handles the drop-off while you enjoy the garlic bread.
Coordinating a winery tour along Hecker Pass Highway? A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the right call for those winding roads — nimble enough to reach tasting rooms that a full-size motorcoach simply can't. Planning a birthday night out, a prom group pickup, or a team shuttle up to a San Jose Sharks game at SAP Center?
There is a bus for every one of those trips, and you can compare them all in one place. Find your bus in seconds at Busrentalgilroy.com!

Garlic Festival and Christmas Hill Park Event Shuttles
With one search, you can find and compare event shuttle buses for the Gilroy Garlic Festival at Hecker Pass Outdoor Events Center (3050 Hecker Pass Highway, Gilroy, CA 95020) — one of the largest food festivals in the entire country, drawing more than 100,000 attendees over its three-day run each July. The festival's own guidance notes that parking is limited, and anyone who has tried to navigate Leavesley Road on a Saturday afternoon during festival weekend knows exactly what that means. Your charter bus drops the group at the Hecker Pass Outdoor Events Center entrance and stages off-site while you eat your way through the garlic capital, then comes back for pickup when you're ready.
No hunting for a parking spot, no gridlock on US-101, no splitting the group into separate cars. Garlic Festival weekend fills buses fast — book four to six months out and call 669-239-4590 to lock in your date!
The next three-day Gilroy Garlic Festival runs July 23–25, 2027, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the official Gilroy Garlic Festival visitor information puts the separately gated event at the Hecker Pass Outdoor Events Center. Your bus takes you to the correct event entrance, while the group keeps every bag and oversized item on board instead of risking a delay at the festival screening area.
Hecker Pass Winery Tours and Wine Country Group Transportation
Find the right bus for a winery tour along Hecker Pass Highway and the South Santa Clara wine country — and find it fast! Gilroy's wine scene includes beloved stops like Kirigin Cellars (11550 Watsonville Rd, Gilroy, CA 95020), Solis Winery (3920 Hecker Pass Hwy, Gilroy, CA 95020), Fortino Winery (4525 Hecker Pass Hwy, Gilroy, CA 95020), and Clos LaChance Winery (1 Hummingbird Ln, San Martin, CA 95046) just to the north. One critical local fact: the winding two-lane sections of CA-152 west of Gilroy are not suitable for full-size 45-foot motorcoaches.
A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the right vehicle for reaching tasting rooms along the Hecker Pass corridor — nimble enough for the curves, comfortable enough for the whole group. Compare minibuses and party buses for your wine tour in seconds through Busrentalgilroy.com!
Gilroy Gardens, Outlet Shopping, and Family Group Day Trips
It just got easier to find group transportation for a family day out in Gilroy! Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park (3050 Hecker Pass Hwy, Gilroy, CA 95020) is a perennial favorite for school field trips, birthday groups, and family reunions, with oversized vehicle parking available in the designated lot off Hecker Pass Highway. And for groups making the trek to Gilroy Premium Outlets (681 Leavesley Rd, Gilroy, CA 95020) — one of the largest outlet centers in Northern California — a charter bus drops everyone at the main entrance on Leavesley Road and parks in the outer lot on the east side of the property, so nobody circles the parking lot or gets separated from the group.
Holiday weekends and back-to-school season fill buses quickly for outlet trips, so book ahead! Compare bus sizes and pricing from a network of providers serving Gilroy through Busrentalgilroy.com in under a minute!
Gilroy Gardens makes the big-vehicle choice easy: tour buses carrying 10 or more people may park there for FREE, while regular vehicle parking is listed at $25 on the Gilroy Gardens parking page. Your bus can stay at the park instead of sending everyone back to a remote overflow lot, so the return ride starts where your day ends.
San Jose Sports and Concert Transportation From Gilroy
Why send your whole group up US-101 in separate cars when one bus handles the whole trip? Gilroy is about 30 miles south of San Jose, which puts your group within easy reach of SAP Center (525 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113) for San Jose Sharks games and major concerts, PayPal Park (1123 Coleman Ave, San Jose, CA 95110) for San Jose Earthquakes matches, and Excite Ballpark (588 E Alma Ave, San Jose, CA 95112) for San Jose Giants games. The northbound US-101 commute toward San Jose can run 45 to 75 minutes during peak hours — and on game nights, that stretch gets worse.
One charter bus or party bus from Gilroy keeps the whole group together, the energy going from the first pickup, and the ride home already handled. Compare buses for your next San Jose outing through Busrentalgilroy.com in seconds!
Prom, Graduation, and School Event Buses for Gilroy Students

Yes — and it's one of the smartest ways to get a large group there. The festival's own guidance notes that parking is limited, and Leavesley Road backs up significantly on festival weekend. Charter buses drop off at the Hecker Pass Outdoor Events Center entrance to Gilroy Garlic Festival and stage off-site while your group enjoys the festival, then return for pickup.
Book four to six months out — Garlic Festival weekend is the highest-demand weekend in Gilroy's entire calendar.
Not on the winding two-lane sections of CA-152 west of Gilroy. The Hecker Pass Highway corridor — where tasting rooms like Solis Winery, Fortino Winery, and Kirigin Cellars are located — is not suitable for 45-foot full-size motorcoaches. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the right vehicle for winery tours along this route: nimble enough for the curves and comfortable enough for the whole group.
Mention the Hecker Pass route when you request your quote so the right vehicle comes back!
For the Gilroy Garlic Festival (late July), book four to six months out — it's the single busiest weekend of the year in Gilroy. For prom and graduation season (April through June), book three to six months in advance, since every school in Santa Clara County is competing for the same buses at the same time. Harvest season winery tours (September through October) and holiday weekends at Gilroy Premium Outlets fill up four to eight weeks out.
The earlier you book, the better your options and pricing.
Through the network, you can compare sprinter vans, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, and 56-passenger charter buses from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Gilroy. Minibuses are the right call for winery tours on Hecker Pass; charter buses handle large festival groups and sports shuttles to San Jose; party buses are perfect for prom, bachelorette nights, and birthday outings. ADA-accessible vehicles are available — just mention it when you request your quote!
Off-peak, the drive from Gilroy to downtown San Jose via US-101 runs about 30 to 40 minutes. During peak commute hours — northbound in the morning (6–9am) and southbound in the afternoon (3–7pm) — that stretch can run 45 to 75 minutes or more. On event nights at SAP Center or PayPal Park, build in extra buffer.
One charter bus from Gilroy keeps the whole group together and the return trip already handled, so nobody is stranded waiting for a rideshare surge to die down after the game.
