Begin your New Year’s Day with a convenient hotel pickup from Downtown LA, LAX, Marina del Rey, or the South Bay. Settle into a comfortable, climate-controlled shuttle as your driver takes you directly to Pasadena.

If you’re attending both the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl Game, you’ll be dropped off near the parade route first, then taken to the stadium afterward, according to the day’s schedule.

If you’re attending only the Rose Bowl Game, your shuttle will take you straight to the stadium at the designated time so you can enjoy the pre-game atmosphere without the stress of parking or traffic.

After the event or events you attend, clear instructions will guide you to your return pickup point. Your shuttle will be ready to bring you back to your hotel with reliable timing and an easy boarding process.
