Sacramento Charter Bus Trips From Chico — Kings Games, the State Fair, and More
For the best Sacramento day trips from Chico, a charter bus on SR-99 south is the easiest call your group will make. At 90 miles and roughly 90 minutes each way, Sacramento is Chico's closest major destination — and it packs in a huge range of reasons to go. Golden 1 Center (500 David J Stern Walk, Sacramento, CA 95814) hosts Kings games and major concerts year-round.
Sutter Health Park (400 Ballpark Dr, West Sacramento, CA 95691) draws River Cats crowds all summer. And Cal Expo (1600 Exposition Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95815) runs the California State Fair from July 17 through August 2, 2026 — one of the biggest group travel events of the year for Chico-area families and organizations. One bus keeps everyone together from pickup to drop-off and back!
Golden 1 Center's accessible drop-off and pickup points are at 4th Street & J Street, 6th Street & J Street, and 7th Street & K Street, with loading limited to 20 minutes; the full details are on the Golden 1 Center drop-off and pickup page. Your bus unloads you at the arena-side curb and keeps the group from circling downtown for a door.
For the California State Fair, Cal Expo charges a $15 parking rate, with the Main Gate at Exposition Boulevard and Heritage Way and Parking Lots B and C closest to it; Lot C is reached through Parking Lot D. Your bus keeps the group together on the Main Gate side instead of scattering everyone across the grounds — see the Cal Expo maps and parking directions.
It's Easy to Book a Charter Bus From Chico to Lake Tahoe and Reno
It doesn't get much more scenic than SR-70 through Feather River Canyon on the way to Lake Tahoe or Reno — and a charter bus makes the whole group part of the experience instead of staring at a steering wheel for three hours. Whether your group is heading to the ski slopes at Palisades Tahoe in North Lake Tahoe, the casino resorts along South Lake Tahoe, or all the way to Reno for Hot August Nights (August) or the Reno Air Races (September), a full-size motorcoach with reclining seats, WiFi, and onboard restrooms turns the ride into part of the trip. Just keep in mind that SR-70 through the canyon can see chain controls from November through April, so build your timeline with the season in mind.
Call 530-267-0060 to compare available buses for your Tahoe or Reno dates!

Yes — SR-70 through Feather River Canyon is a common route for charter buses heading from Chico toward Reno and North Lake Tahoe. The canyon grades and curves are manageable for full-size motorcoaches under normal conditions. From November through April, chain controls and occasional road closures are possible, so groups should build flexible timing into winter itineraries and check Caltrans road conditions before departure.
Mention your SR-70 route when you request your quote so the operator can confirm vehicle suitability for the specific conditions on your travel date.
No — driver accommodations on overnight and multi-day trips are a separate cost not included in your charter bus quote. For a Chico-to-LA run of roughly 470 miles and 7–8 hours each way, most itineraries require at least one overnight stay, and the driver's hotel is typically arranged separately. When you request a quote for a multi-day trip, mention the full itinerary so the pricing reflects the complete trip, and plan to budget driver lodging on top of the quoted rate.
