A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Seamless Group Transfers to Sacramento International Airport (SMF)
Located just about 20 minutes north of downtown Davis, Sacramento International Airport (6900 Airport Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95837) is the primary gateway for travelers heading to Yolo County. While it is close, coordinating a caravan of cars or relying on rideshare apps for a large group can quickly turn into a logistical nightmare, especially with surge pricing and limited trunk space. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Davis, you eliminate the hassle of long-term parking fees and the stress of splitting up your group. We provide direct, curb-to-curb service to both Terminal A and Terminal B.
For corporate groups or wedding parties arriving at SMF, the drivers monitor flight statuses in real-time. If a flight is delayed, we adjust our schedule so no one is left waiting at the curb. Once your group has collected their bags, they can step right outside to the designated commercial vehicle loading zones where a climate-controlled bus will be waiting. We can shuttle your group directly to local Davis favorites, such as the Hyatt Place UC Davis (173 Old Davis Rd, Davis, CA 95616) or the Hilton Garden Inn (2540 2nd St, Davis, CA 95618). With ample undercarriage storage for heavy suitcases and overhead bins for carry-ons, your group can stretch out and relax immediately upon arrival, enjoying the short, scenic drive across the causeway without a worry in the world.
Long-Distance Shuttles to San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK)
Sometimes, the best flight deals or international connections require flying into the Bay Area. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Oakland International Airport (OAK) are significant hubs for Davis travelers, but they come with a catch: the distance and the notorious I-80 traffic. The drive from Davis to the Bay Area can range from 90 minutes to over two hours depending on congestion through Vacaville and Vallejo. For a large group, trying to navigate this route in separate rental cars is exhausting and inefficient. Charter Bus Rental Company Davis specializes in long-distance airport transfers that turn this commute into a comfortable extension of your trip.
When you rent a full-sized charter bus for a transfer from SFO (San Francisco, CA 94128) or OAK (1 Airport Dr, Oakland, CA 94621), you are providing your passengers with a mobile lounge. Instead of fighting gridlock, your group can recline in plush seats, connect to onboard WiFi to check emails or stream entertainment, and charge their devices using individual power outlets. We handle the bridge tolls and the complex terminal loops so you don't have to. Whether you are bringing a student group back from a study abroad program or transporting a corporate team to a Silicon Valley conference via Davis, the drivers ensure a smooth, comfortable, and relaxing journey back to the Central Valley. We can drop you off right at the UC Davis Memorial Union or any residential district in the city.
University of California, Davis Airport Shuttles for Students and Staff
As the home of the Aggies, UC Davis is a bustling center of activity that draws students, faculty, and researchers from all over the globe. Charter Bus Rental Company Davis is proud to be a trusted transportation partner for the university community. We understand the unique needs of academic travel, from transporting prospective students and their parents for campus tours to shuttling athletic teams to tournaments. We frequently organize shuttles for large conferences held at the UC Davis Conference Center (550 Alumni Ln, Davis, CA 95616) or events at the Mondavi Center (One Shields Ave, Davis, CA 95616).
For international student orientation weeks or end-of-semester breaks, we can organize consolidated shuttle services to SMF, ensuring students have a safe and reliable ride to catch their flights home. Faculty departments hosting symposiums can impress visiting scholars with a private sprinter van pickup from the airport, providing a professional first impression of the university and the city. We can easily navigate the campus roads, from the Silo to the ARC, ensuring drop-offs are precise and convenient. Forget the Unitrans schedules or the stress of finding overnight parking; a private charter bus rental is the most efficient way to manage university logistics for groups of any size.
Corporate Executive Transportation for Davis Businesses
Davis is not just a college town; it is a growing hub for ag-tech, biotechnology, and environmental research. For businesses located in the Interland University Research Park or downtown Davis, reliable transportation for clients and executives is paramount. Charter Bus Rental Company Davis offers executive-level transportation services designed to meet the high standards of the corporate world. When you have VPs flying in for a board meeting or potential investors visiting your facility, a standard taxi simply won't do. Our executive sprinter vans and minibuses offer a polished, professional atmosphere with leather seating, tinted windows, and a quiet environment perfect for last-minute preparation.
We can arrange a meet-and-greet service at Sacramento International Airport, where a driver assists your guests with their luggage and escorts them to the vehicle. From there, we can provide transportation to business lunches at top-rated local restaurants like Seasons (102 F St, Davis, CA 95616) or Osteria Fasulo (2657 Portage Bay E #8, Davis, CA 95616). If you are organizing a team-building retreat or a conference at the Hallmark Inn Davis (110 F St, Davis, CA 95616), our shuttle services ensure that your entire team arrives together, on time, and ready to focus on business. We handle the logistics so you can handle the deal.
Private Aviation Transfers at University Airport (EDU)
For those flying privately or utilizing general aviation, the University Airport (EDU), located just west of the main campus, offers a convenient alternative to the larger commercial hubs. While smaller, this airport is vital for agricultural researchers, private charters, and specialized aviation needs. Charter Bus Rental Company Davis provides discreet and prompt tarmac-side pickup and drop-off services at University Airport (2515 County Rd 98, Davis, CA 95616), adhering to all safety and security protocols required by general aviation facilities.
Whether you are a research team arriving with sensitive equipment that needs careful handling or a private group looking to bypass the crowds of SMF, we can have a minibus or sprinter van waiting for you the moment your aircraft engines shut down. The drivers are familiar with the layout of University Airport and the surrounding county roads, ensuring a swift transition from air to ground. We can transport your group directly to the UC Davis viticulture labs, the Primate Center, or straight to a downtown hotel. This bespoke service allows for maximum privacy and efficiency, catering to the specific schedules of private flyers.
Comfort and Amenities for the Long Haul
Airport travel often involves long waits and exhausting flights, which is why the ground transportation leg of your journey should be a sanctuary of comfort. At Charter Bus Rental Company Davis, we prioritize the passenger experience by offering modern buses equipped with premium amenities. If you are traveling from SFO or OAK back to Davis, that 90-minute drive feels significantly shorter when you are relaxing in a reclining seat with ample legroom. Many of our buses feature onboard WiFi, allowing business travelers to stay connected and students to catch up on social media.
For groups traveling with heavy luggage—such as sports teams with equipment bags or musicians with instruments—our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage storage bays, keeping the cabin clutter-free. Overhead bins are perfect for backpacks and personal items you need quick access to. Climate control is standard, essential for those hot Davis summers, ensuring you step off the bus refreshed. On request, we can also provide buses with onboard restrooms, a crucial amenity for longer transfers from the Bay Area, preventing the need for unscheduled pit stops. When you book with us, you aren't just booking a ride; you're booking a premium travel experience.

Booking an airport charter bus rental in Davis is simple, but coordination is key to a flawless execution.

For departures, we generally recommend scheduling your pickup time to allow for plenty of buffer. For domestic flights out of SMF, we suggest arriving 2 hours early; for international flights out of SFO, 3 hours is the standard. We will help you calculate the travel time from Davis, factoring in potential traffic on the Yolo Causeway or I-80, to determine the optimal pickup time from your home, office, or hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Davis Airport Transportation
How far in advance should I book my airport shuttle?
We generally recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed.Ideally, this would be at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak seasons like holidays, graduation week at UC Davis, or summer break. Booking early ensures you have the widest selection of vehicles to choose from and helps you lock in the best possible rates. However, we understand that last-minute trips happen. Our team is available 24/7 at 530-325-3635, and we will do our absolute best to accommodate short-notice requests whenever possible.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We understand that flight delays are a common part of travel and are often out of your control. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Davis, we request your flight information so that our dispatch team can monitor your arrival time in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you actually land. You will not be left stranded. We maintain open lines of communication with you or your group leader to navigate any schedule changes smoothly.
How much luggage can fit on a charter bus?
Storage capacity depends on the type of vehicle you rent. A full-size 56-passenger charter bus offers the most storage, with spacious undercarriage bays that can typically hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus overhead bins for personal carry-on items. Minibuses and sprinter vans have more limited storage space, usually suitable for carry-ons and light luggage. If your group is traveling with excessive luggage, sports equipment, or musical instruments, please let our reservation specialist know when you call so we can recommend the appropriate vehicle size to accommodate all your gear comfortably.
Do you offer service to SFO and OAK?
Yes, absolutely! While Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is the closest option, we frequently provide long-distance charter bus rentals to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Oakland International Airport (OAK). We understand that international flights or specific carriers often require travel to the Bay Area. The drivers know how to navigate the I-80 corridor and Bay Area traffic patterns, ensuring your group arrives at these more distant airports comfortably and with plenty of time to spare before your flight.
