Get Your Group to Mount Hermon and Back Without the Highway 9 Headache
Busrentalsantacruz.com makes retreat transportation to Mount Hermon Christian Conference Center (37 Conference Drive, Felton, CA 95018) so much simpler than organizing a caravan of personal vehicles! Highway 9 through Felton and Ben Lomond is a narrow, winding two-lane mountain road—beautiful, but genuinely stressful for drivers who don't know it, and a real risk for a long line of cars carrying your congregation's families and youth. One minibus or charter bus keeps everyone together, eliminates the caravan coordination, and lets your group arrive relaxed and ready for the retreat instead of frazzled from the drive.
Mount Hermon hosts family camps, youth retreats, and winter conferences throughout the year, and buses drop off and pick up at the conference entrance on Conference Drive. Skip the mountain-road guesswork: from Highway 17, your bus takes the Mount Hermon Road exit at Scotts Valley, continues 3.5 miles to Graham Hill Road, and turns left onto Conference Road; the Mount Hermon directions page lays out the approach. Book early for summer sessions—those weekends fill fast!
Senior Shuttle Services That Keep Every Member of Your Congregation Connected
Choosing not to leave any member of your congregation behind is exactly what a dedicated senior shuttle makes possible! Many of Santa Cruz's older congregants—especially those near the Beach Flats, Westside, and Live Oak neighborhoods—rely on others for rides to Sunday services, and the Santa Cruz Metro's limited weekend frequency doesn't always fill the gap. Through Busrentalsantacruz.com, you can find minibuses and accessible vehicles equipped with the features seniors need: high-back seating, climate control, easy boarding, and smooth, comfortable rides.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network too—just mention it when you request your quote! Whether it's a weekly Sunday pickup loop or a one-time holiday service shuttle, Busrentalsantacruz.com helps you find the right vehicle for every member of your community. Call 831-461-8911 to get started!
Youth Group and VBS Transportation All Summer Long
We know how much goes into planning Vacation Bible School, summer youth camps, and service trips—and transportation shouldn't be the part that keeps you up at night! Through Busrentalsantacruz.com, Santa Cruz churches can find and compare minibuses and charter buses for daily VBS pickups, weekly youth group outings, and summer camp runs throughout June, July, and August. Whether your group is heading to a local beach cleanup at Cowell Beach, a service project with the Homeless Garden Project, or a longer trip to Hume Lake Christian Camps in the Sierra Nevada, there's a bus in the network that fits your headcount and your budget.
Compare vehicles, view photos, and get instant pricing online—or call 831-461-8911 and a live agent will put a custom package together for you!
Mission Trips and Regional Conference Transportation Over Highway 17
Busrentalsantacruz.com can help you get your mission team or conference group safely over Highway 17 and into the Bay Area without the stress of a vehicle caravan! Highway 17 is one of California's most accident-prone roads—25 miles of steep grades and sharp curves between Santa Cruz and Los Gatos, with conditions that get genuinely dangerous in wet weather. One charter bus keeps your entire group together, puts an experienced operator behind the wheel, and turns the drive into preparation time instead of a white-knuckle commute.
Whether you're heading to a regional church conference in San Jose, a service weekend in Oakland, or connecting to a larger mission trip departing from the Bay Area, Busrentalsantacruz.com makes it easy to compare buses and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Santa Cruz and the entire Central Coast. Call 831-461-8911 or use the online quote tool to find your bus today!
Holiday Service Shuttles for Easter, Christmas Eve, and Beyond
Busrentalsantacruz.com is the go-to resource for Santa Cruz churches that need extra transportation capacity on the biggest worship days of the year! Easter weekend and Christmas Eve are the two highest-demand days for church transportation across the entire Santa Cruz area—and parking near downtown churches like Holy Cross Catholic Church (126 High St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) gets especially tight when attendance surges. Downtown church drop-offs are easier to map than they look: Holy Cross Catholic Church sits at the corner of Mission Street and High Street, one block east of Highway 1, so your bus approaches on Mission and drops at 126 High Street; the Holy Cross directions page shows the approach.
A dedicated holiday shuttle picks up congregants from a central meeting point, drops them at the church entrance, and eliminates the parking scramble entirely. Through Busrentalsantacruz.com, you can compare minibuses and full-size charter buses from a network of providers and lock in your holiday transportation well ahead of the rush. Book three to six months out for Easter and Christmas Eve—those dates go fast.
