Lake Forest does not allow charter buses to idle or park on residential streets, so it’s important to plan ahead and use designated parking areas. For groups visiting local attractions or attending events, the city recommends several nearby options:

Metrolink Station Parking Lot (Avenida de la Carlota & Lake Forest Drive): This lot offers ample space for large vehicles and is conveniently located near major roadways.

Irvine Spectrum Center Parking Structure: Just a short drive from Lake Forest, this facility accommodates oversized vehicles with prior arrangement.

OC Fair & Event Center Lots (Costa Mesa): Ideal for groups heading to regional events, these lots provide easy access to the 405 and 5 Freeways.

Always confirm availability and fees in advance, as policies may vary by location. For custom drop-off and pickup points, contact our team to coordinate the best options for your itinerary.

While Lake Forest is served by OCTA bus routes and Metrolink rail service, these options can be inconvenient for large groups due to limited schedules, fixed routes, and multiple transfers. A private charter bus provides door-to-door service on your schedule, eliminating the need to coordinate meeting points or navigate unfamiliar transit systems. It’s the most efficient way to keep everyone together and ensure reliable transportation to any destination.
