We have everything from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Tiffany Coachbuilders, and Executive Coach Builders—great for local shuttles or small group trips—to full-size 40- to 56-passenger charter buses from MCI, Van Hool, Prevost, and Setra with premium amenities like restrooms and luggage bays. We also offer party buses that hold 10 to 50 people, sprinter vans for 10 to 15 passengers, and school buses for affordable transportation. With so many options, we can handle any trip across San Mateo County or the Bay Area.

Several factors influence the cost of your bus rental, including the type and size of vehicle you choose, the distance and duration of your trip, the time of year (peak season rates are higher), and any special requests or amenities. For example, a weekend wedding shuttle to Mountain Terrace in Woodside will cost more than a midweek corporate transfer to Oracle headquarters, and adding features like WiFi, power outlets, or extra luggage space may increase the price. We build every quote based on your exact itinerary, so you only pay for what you need.

Party buses feature wraparound seating, color-changing LED lights, hardwood floors, and Bluetooth sound systems.

Large venues like the Fox Theatre and Red Morton Community Center have nearby lots that can accommodate buses, while parks such as Stafford Park and Red Morton Park offer street parking on surrounding roads. Always check with your destination in advance for specific instructions, as some areas may require permits or have time restrictions.
