Upland Convention Transportation

The City of Ontario’s Ontario Convention Center page lists the venue at 2000 E Convention Center Way, Ontario, CA 91764, about four miles southwest of downtown Upland along the 10 Freeway, and it draws huge numbers of convention attendees to the Inland Empire every year. For groups staying at hotels along Benson Avenue, Mountain Avenue, or the cluster of properties near Haven Avenue and the 10, a dedicated shuttle bus loop eliminates the parking scramble at the convention center entirely — and parking at the OCC complex is metered and fills fast during large shows.

A 30-passenger minibus running a timed loop between your hotel block and the OCC entrance keeps your attendees on schedule and off the Ontario surface streets during peak morning and evening waves. Rather than leaving everyone to sort out their own Uber surge at 5pm, one bus handles the whole group, one pickup window, and one drop-off — right at the convention center entrance. Confirm current parking and drop-off details with the City of Ontario’s Convention Center information before your event.

Heading to a large-scale trade show or expo at Pomona Fairplex (1101 W McKinley Ave, Pomona, CA 91768)? Fairplex hosts some of the biggest regional conventions and expos in Southern California — and parking across its sprawling grounds can run $15 to $20 per vehicle per day, per day, which adds up fast for a multi-day conference group traveling in from Upland hotels. A chartered shuttle bus loop from your hotel to the Fairplex gate handles the whole group in one trip and cuts that per-car cost down to a single flat bus rate split across your headcount.

Fairplex spans nearly 500 acres, so confirm which gate and which building your convention is using before you set your drop-off point — the main entrance on McKinley Avenue handles most convention traffic, but some expos use the Towne Avenue gate instead. Event layouts can change: Fairplex’s published KABOOM! access instructions list Gate 17 for general parking and Gate 1 on McKinley Avenue for rideshare and taxi drop-off/pick-up. Check the official Fairplex event access FAQ for a current example, and give your itinerary to the Uplandminibuscompany.com support team so the bus staging is right the first time.

The Claremont Colleges complex — including Claremont McKenna College (888 Columbia Avenue, Claremont, CA 91711) and the broader consortium stretching across College Avenue — hosts academic conferences, symposiums, and institutional gatherings that draw attendees from across Southern California and beyond. Parking on and around the Claremont campuses is tight on regular days and genuinely difficult during a large conference, and the surface streets between the colleges and nearby Upland hotels don't leave much room for a dozen cars circling for spots.

A charter bus or minibus rental picks your group up from their hotel, drops them at the correct campus entrance, and stages nearby so the return trip is already handled when the last session wraps. Rather than leaving out-of-town attendees to navigate the one-way streets around the Village or hunt for parking on Dartmouth Avenue, one bus handles the whole group cleanly. Confirm drop-off access with the host department before your event, and compare available vehicles from Inland Empire operators through Uplandminibuscompany.com in under 30 seconds!
