We have 15-35 passenger minibuses built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—great for corporate shuttles between Bishop Ranch and Walnut Creek BART or wedding transportation to venues like The Bridges Golf Club. Our 40-56 passenger charter buses come from top manufacturers like MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Setra, with premium amenities for long-distance trips to Levi’s Stadium or Yosemite. For smaller groups, we offer 10-15 passenger sprinter vans, and if you’re planning a night out in San Francisco or a birthday party in Danville, our party buses (10-50 passengers) from Krystal, Grech, Tiffany, LGE, and Executive Coach Builders have wraparound seating, hardwood floors, and multiple flat-screen TVs.

Several factors influence the cost of your bus rental, including the type and size of vehicle, length of rental, mileage, time of year, and any special requests. Larger buses with more amenities (like WiFi, power outlets, or restrooms) cost more than basic models. Peak travel seasons—spring (April-June) for weddings and graduations, and fall (September-November) for corporate events—tend to be more expensive due to higher demand. Major Bay Area events like BottleRock, Outside Lands, or 49ers/Raiders games can also impact pricing. If you need multiple pickups (e.g., Bishop Ranch, Crow Canyon, Danville Park & Ride), late-night returns from San Francisco, or ADA-accessible features, let us know so we can provide an exact quote.

Our fleet offers a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained. Standard features on most buses include reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays for suitcases, coolers, or golf clubs. Stay connected with free WiFi and USB/power outlets at every seat—perfect for checking email during a Bishop Ranch commuter shuttle or streaming movies on a field trip to the Exploratorium. Larger coaches (40-56 passengers) have flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray players, PA systems for tour guides, and optional restrooms for nonstop trips to Lake Tahoe or Disneyland. Minibuses (15-35 passengers) are great for short hops around downtown, while party buses add LED lighting, wraparound seating, and Bluetooth sound systems for nights out in Walnut Creek or Oakland.

San Ramon has several convenient locations for charter bus parking and staging. Popular spots include Bishop Ranch Business Park (multiple lots), City Center Bishop Ranch (underground garage height restrictions apply), Central Park (Bollinger Canyon Rd entrance), and Crow Canyon Commons shopping center. For longer-term parking or layovers, consider the Park & Ride lots at Bollinger Canyon/I-680 or Sycamore Valley Rd in Danville. When planning drop-offs at hotels, schools, or event venues, check with the property manager about designated bus zones or loading docks. In downtown areas or residential neighborhoods, it’s best to load/unload quickly and move the bus to a nearby lot to avoid blocking traffic or violating local ordinances. If your itinerary includes stops outside San Ramon (Oakland, San Francisco, Napa), let us know so we can advise on parking regulations and permits in those cities.

Your quote covers the use of the bus for the duration of your trip, standard amenities (reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets), and mileage based on your itinerary. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—everything is spelled out clearly in writing before you book. Optional upgrades like onboard restrooms, PA systems, or extra luggage space can be added upon request. If you have multiple days of travel, the bus will stay with your group the entire time, providing continuous transportation between hotels, meeting sites, or tourist attractions. For point-to-point transfers (e.g., SFO airport pickup to downtown hotel), the price is calculated based on distance and estimated travel time. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing and exceptional customer service from start to finish.
