For the fastest price quote in Redwood City, just enter your date, group size, and pickup location into the online tool — you'll have pricing from a network of transportation companies in under 30 seconds, no account needed. Pricing depends on the bus type and size, how far you're going, how many hours you need the vehicle, the time of year, and any extra amenities your group wants.

From airport transfers and corporate shuttles to prom nights, weddings, wine tours, and sporting events, there is a bus in the network ready for whatever brings your group together. Here is a look at the services available!
redwood city airport transportation Redwood City Airport Transfer Shuttles
Don't split your group across a string of rideshares when you can get everyone to the terminal together in one comfortable vehicle! Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to find airport transportation from Redwood City to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) (San Francisco, CA 94128), roughly 17 miles north on US-101, San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) (1701 Airport Blvd, San Jose, CA 95110), about 22 miles south, and Oakland International Airport (OAK) (1 Airport Dr, Oakland, CA 94621), approximately 30 miles via SR-84 across the Dumbarton Bridge. At SFO, charter buses pick up on the Level 1 Arrivals level at the designated bus courtyards — Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 and 3, and Courtyards A and G for the International Terminal. Have everyone together with luggage in hand before calling for pickup, since buses stage in the TCP holding area on N McDonnell Road and cannot idle at the active curb.
Compare available vehicles and get instant pricing by filling out the form or calling 650-701-9175!
redwood city concert transportation Travel to Redwood City Concerts on a Charter Bus Rental
Make your next concert night everything it should be — and nothing it shouldn't! Instead of navigating US-101 traffic, circling for parking, and hailing rideshares at midnight, a concert bus rental keeps your whole group together from the first pickup to the last song. Shoreline Amphitheatre (1 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043) is just 10 miles south on US-101 — one of the Bay Area's biggest outdoor stages, with summer shows that pack Amphitheatre Parkway for hours before and after every performance.
Large vehicles use the north parking areas; advance coordination with the venue is recommended for oversized buses. Heading north to San Francisco? Fox Theatre Redwood City (2215 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063) hosts national touring acts right downtown — your bus drops the group on Broadway and stages nearby while you're inside.
Compare concert bus rentals from a network of transportation companies serving the Peninsula, and get pricing in under 30 seconds!
redwood city corporate transportation Plan Redwood City Corporate Trips for Meetings and Conventions
You don't have to send your team across the Peninsula in a dozen separate cars! Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to find corporate transportation for conferences, client visits, off-sites, company dinners, and team-building events across Redwood City and the entire Bay Area. The Redwood Shores corporate corridor — home to Oracle (2300 Oracle Way, Redwood City, CA 94065) and Electronic Arts (209 Redwood Shores Pkwy, Redwood City, CA 94065) — is largely car-dependent, and getting teams between campuses, hotels, and event venues without a private shuttle means fighting El Camino Real traffic every step of the way. One charter bus or minibus solves the whole problem: everyone arrives together, on schedule, and nobody loses 45 minutes hunting for parking.
Compare vehicles from a network of transportation companies serving Redwood City and the surrounding Bay Area, and get your corporate shuttle quote in under 30 seconds online or by calling 650-701-9175!
redwood city employee transportation Employee Shuttle Bus Rentals in Redwood City
Call it what it is — US-101 through San Mateo County is one of the most congested stretches of highway in California, and your employees are sitting in it every single day. A dedicated employee shuttle from the Caltrain Redwood City Station (1 James Ave, Redwood City, CA 94063) or a Park & Ride along US-101 turns dead commute time into a productive, comfortable ride — and takes one more car off the Bayshore Freeway. Whether you need a daily commuter route between Redwood City and a San Francisco office, a recurring shuttle between Redwood Shores campuses, or temporary transportation while your parking lot is under construction, Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com helps you compare minibuses and full-size charter buses from a large network of transportation companies serving the Peninsula.

redwood city long distance transportation Redwood City Long-Distance Charter Bus Rental
Start your next long-distance trip from Redwood City in a full-size motorcoach with reclining seats, onboard WiFi, power outlets, climate control, and undercarriage luggage bays — and arrive without the exhaustion of a multi-car caravan. Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com helps you find long-distance charter bus rentals for trips to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Sacramento, Napa Valley, and destinations across California and beyond. Napa Valley is roughly 75 to 90 miles north via US-101 and SR-121 — a perfect day-trip distance for a wine tour group that wants to leave the driving to someone else. Heading further?
A 56-passenger motorcoach with an onboard restroom and luggage bays makes the run to Southern California a whole different experience than splitting the group across multiple cars.

redwood city event transportation Streamlined Redwood City Private Event Transportation
Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com can help you find the right bus for any private occasion in Redwood City — birthday parties, anniversary dinners, family reunions, graduation celebrations, and any other event that brings your group together! Instead of coordinating a five-car caravan through downtown Redwood City's Broadway corridor and hunting for parking near Courthouse Square (2200 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063), one bus keeps everyone on the same itinerary from the first pickup to the last drop-off. Compare party buses with LED lighting, built-in bars, and Bluetooth sound systems for a milestone birthday night, or find a charter bus for a family reunion that needs comfortable seats and luggage space.
Whatever the occasion, you can compare vehicles, packages, and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Redwood City in under 30 seconds — or call 650-701-9175 for a custom package built around your event!
redwood city prom transportation Enjoy the Journey with Redwood City Charter Bus Rentals for Prom
Instead of cramming into a rented limousine that fits half the group, or splitting everyone across multiple cars and hoping the convoy stays together, a prom party bus keeps the whole group together from the first pickup to the last drop-off! San Mateo County prom season runs April through May, and it is one of the busiest stretches of the year for party buses across the Peninsula — Sequoia High School (1201 Brewster Ave, Redwood City, CA 94062), Woodside High School (199 Churchill Ave, Woodside, CA 94062), and every other school in the area all compete for the same vehicles on the same weekends. Book six months out or more to lock in the bus you actually want at the best price. Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com lets you compare party buses, minibuses, and charter buses from a network of transportation companies serving Redwood City — compare pictures, amenities, and pricing side by side, and get your date secured before the calendar fills up.

redwood city sporting event transportation Book Your Redwood City Sporting Event Charter Bus Rental
In San Mateo County, game day means US-101 traffic — and the only way to beat it is to leave the driving to a bus! Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com helps you find sporting event transportation for fan groups, alumni, and sports teams heading to venues across the Bay Area. Levi's Stadium (4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054), home of the San Francisco 49ers, is about 13 miles south on US-101 — charter buses use designated motorcoach staging areas accessed from Tasman Drive, and advance coordination is required for game-day parking.

Frequently Asked Questions About Redwood City Charter Bus Rentals
Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com helps you compare buses rental options; it is not a transportation company and does not rent, own, or operate vehicles. When you submit the quote form, your trip details go through a booking company so you can review pricing and available vehicles for your date. You compare the options and book through the process shown with your quote.
Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com is an advertising and quote comparison website — not a local bus company or motor carrier. It brings together a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Redwood City and the surrounding Bay Area, so you can compare vehicles, amenities, and pricing in one place instead of calling five companies separately. Transportation is provided by independent operators, and booking is completed through a national booking platform.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is closest at roughly 17 miles north on US-101. Charter buses pick up on the Level 1 Arrivals level at the designated bus courtyards — Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 and 3, and Courtyards A and G for the International Terminal. The bus stages in the TCP holding area on N McDonnell Road and pulls to the curb once your entire group is together with luggage in hand.
San Jose Mineta (SJC), about 22 miles south, has charter buses pick up at Terminal A Ground Transportation Center Stop #4, or Stop #11 (not Stop #12, which is scheduled buses) at Terminal B. Oakland (OAK) is roughly 30 miles via SR-84 across the Dumbarton Bridge — pickup is at the lower-level arrivals curb in the designated commercial zone, not the rideshare 3rd Curb at sections 3C2 through 3C9.
Levi's Stadium is about 13 miles south of Redwood City on US-101. Charter buses use designated motorcoach staging areas accessed from Tasman Drive or Great America Parkway on the north side of the stadium. Game-day road closures affect the Great America Parkway and Tasman Drive intersection, so plan your approach accordingly.
Bus parking is coordinated through stadium operations — advance arrangements are required, and day-of walk-up is not guaranteed. Check the Levi's Stadium parking and transportation page before your visit to confirm current lot assignments and approach routes for your specific event.
US-101 through San Mateo County is one of the most consistently congested stretches of highway in California. Peak-hour backups between Redwood City and San Francisco can run 45 minutes to well over an hour in each direction, and surface-street alternatives like El Camino Real (SR-82) are no faster during rush hour. A charter bus keeps your entire group in one vehicle, turns the commute into a social or productive ride, and eliminates the parking cost and parking search at the San Francisco end of the trip.
One flat, predictable rate covers the whole group instead of multiple parking charges and surge-priced rideshares at the end of the night.
Prom season in San Mateo County runs April through May, and it is the single busiest period of the year for party buses across the Peninsula. Sequoia High School, Woodside High School, Carlmont High School, and every other school in the area all compete for the same pool of available vehicles on the same spring weekends. Book six months out or more — ideally by November or December for an April or May prom date — to lock in the vehicle you actually want at the best available price.
Waiting until March or April means higher rates and limited availability. Call 650-701-9175 as early as possible to check what's available for your date.
Yes — Napa Valley is roughly 75 to 90 miles north of Redwood City via US-101 to US-37 to SR-121, making it a very manageable day-trip distance for a group winery tour. Many wineries in Napa and Sonoma accommodate tour buses with advance notice, including Domaine Carneros (1240 Duhig Rd, Napa, CA 94559) and Robert Mondavi Winery (7801 St Helena Hwy, Oakville, CA 94562). Contact each winery directly to confirm their bus parking and group visit policies before finalizing your itinerary.
Through Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com, you can compare party buses, minibuses, and charter buses for the full day-trip — enter your trip details to see available vehicles and pricing in seconds.
Corporate groups in the Redwood Shores tech corridor — including Oracle, Electronic Arts, and dozens of smaller companies — use charter buses constantly for employee shuttles, off-site meetings, and event transportation. Wedding groups, prom groups, and concert-goers heading to Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View or venues in San Francisco are also extremely common. School field trips to Bay Area museums, sports fan groups heading to Levi's Stadium or Oracle Park, and wine tour groups heading to Napa round out the busiest categories.
Whatever brings your group together, Sanmateocharterbuscompany.com helps you find the right bus for it.
Book three to six months out for most Redwood City trips to get the best pricing and the widest vehicle selection. Stretch that to six months or more for the Peninsula's highest-demand dates: prom season in April and May, graduation season in May and June, 49ers home Sundays at Levi's Stadium from September through January, and the Shoreline Amphitheatre summer concert season from May through September. The Bay Area bus market moves fast on peak weekends — waiting until the last minute means higher rates and fewer buses to choose from.
Call 650-701-9175 as early as possible to lock in your date!
Any Destination, Any Time!
See Where a Redwood City Charter Bus Can Take Your Group
Use a charter bus, minibus, or party bus to make the most of every destination on your Redwood City itinerary! From the downtown entertainment district to world-class venues across the Bay Area, the network of transportation companies serving Redwood City can get your group there and back without the parking scramble. Here are some of the most popular destinations groups visit by bus from Redwood City!
Use the previous and next buttons, the left and right arrow keys, or swipe to browse six destinations.
Fox Theatre Redwood City
A restored 1929 atmospheric movie palace turned live entertainment venue, Fox Theatre Redwood City hosts national touring artists, comedy acts, and local events in the heart of downtown. With a capacity of 1,100, it is the Peninsula's premier mid-size concert venue. On event nights, street parking along Broadway fills quickly and the surrounding downtown corridors get congested.
A bus drops your group on Broadway curbside and stages in a nearby public parking structure while you're inside — no circling, no metered panic. Note that Broadway runs one-way in sections downtown; the approach from Jefferson Avenue or Veterans Boulevard is the cleanest line in for oversized vehicles. Confirm current drop-off logistics directly with the venue before your event date.
Address: 2215 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063.
Shoreline Amphitheatre
Shoreline Amphitheatre is one of the Bay Area's signature outdoor concert venues, with a capacity of approximately 22,500 and a summer season that runs from May through September. It sits about 10 miles south of Redwood City on US-101 — close enough to feel local, busy enough to make parking a genuine problem on show nights. Amphitheatre Parkway backs up for miles before major shows, and the lots open two to three hours before showtime.
Large vehicles use the north parking areas off Amphitheatre Parkway; advance coordination with venue operations is recommended for oversized buses. A charter bus or party bus from Redwood City drops your group at the main entrance and eliminates the post-show parking-lot wait entirely. Check the Shoreline Amphitheatre parking and directions page for current event-night guidance.
Address: 1 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043
Levi's Stadium
Home of the San Francisco 49ers since 2014, Levi's Stadium holds more than 68,500 fans and sits about 13 miles south of Redwood City on US-101. On 49ers home Sundays — eight of them each fall and winter, from September through January — US-101 southbound through San Mateo County backs up well before kickoff and clears slowly after the final whistle. Charter buses use designated motorcoach staging areas accessed from Tasman Drive or Great America Parkway on the north side of the stadium, and bus parking must be arranged in advance through stadium operations.
Day-of parking is not guaranteed. The Levi's Stadium parking and transportation page has current lot assignments and approach-route guidance — confirm your specific event before game day, since assignments shift by event.
Address: 4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054
Oracle Park
Oracle Park is one of the most celebrated ballparks in Major League Baseball, sitting on the San Francisco waterfront with views of McCovey Cove. It is roughly 28 miles north of Redwood City via US-101 — a straightforward drive that turns into a 60-minute crawl on a Friday night game. Group drop-offs are located at 3rd Street and Townsend Street, and bus parking is available at Lot A/Pier 48 (74 Mission Rock St, San Francisco, CA 94158) or Lot C when arranged in advance, south of the field.
Oversized-vehicle spaces in Lot A are limited and must be reserved ahead through Giants Group Ticketing — the bus rate runs approximately twice a car's rate, but one charter bus still beats parking a caravan of cars. Check the official Giants driving and parking page for current details and to make your reservation.
Address: 24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107
Stanford University
Stanford University is about 6 miles south of Redwood City via El Camino Real or US-101 — close enough for a quick shuttle, popular enough to make parking a real challenge on event days, graduation weekends, and football Saturdays. Charter buses drop off at Oval Drive for main campus visits, with specific event lots varying by occasion. Stanford Stadium (625 Nelson Rd, Stanford, CA 94305) hosts college football and major concerts; charter buses use Lot 1 or Lot 2 off Nelson Road, and advance coordination is required through Stanford Transportation.
Graduation season in June fills every available parking space across the campus and surrounding Palo Alto streets — a bus from Redwood City is the cleanest way to get your group in and out without the parking scramble. Contact Stanford Transportation directly to confirm lot assignments for your specific event.
Address: 450 Serra Mall, Stanford, CA 94305
Chase Center
Chase Center (1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158) is home to the Golden State Warriors and one of the Bay Area's busiest entertainment venues — roughly 27 miles north of Redwood City via US-101. The SFMTA enforces mandatory road closures on 16th Street and Warriors Way between 3rd Street and Terry A. Francois Boulevard from two hours before until one hour after every major event, and northbound 3rd Street closes 30 minutes before and 45 minutes after events. Charter buses bypass the closure grid by running the open waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard, with designated curb spaces for drop-off and pickup near the intersection of Terry A. Francois Boulevard and 16th Street — steps from the arena's east entrances.
Cross-reference active road closures on the official SFMTA Chase Center Street Restrictions Map before heading out.
Address: 1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158
