A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Seamless Transfers to Sacramento International Airport (SMF)

For most travelers heading to or from Woodland, Sacramento International Airport (6900 Airport Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95837) is the primary hub. Located just about 10 miles east of Woodland via Interstate 5, SMF is incredibly convenient, but coordinating a large group’s arrival or departure can still be a logistical headache. If you rely on rideshares, you risk surge pricing and split groups. If you rely on personal cars, you face the steep costs of long-term parking in the garage or the daily lot.

Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland eliminates these hurdles. We provide door-to-terminal service for groups of any size. Whether you need a 15-passenger minibus for a small executive team or a fleet of 56-passenger motorcoaches for a student field trip, we have the vehicles to accommodate you. Your driver will drop you off right at the curbside of Terminal A or Terminal B, assisting with luggage unloading so you can head straight to security. For arrivals, we monitor flight statuses to ensure your driver is waiting at the designated charter bus pickup zone the moment you land, ready to whisk you away to your hotel in Woodland, such as the Fairfield Inn & Suites (2070 Freeway Dr, Woodland, CA 95776) or the Hampton Inn & Suites.

Connecting Woodland to Bay Area Airports (SFO & OAK)

Sometimes, the best flight deals or international connections aren't found in Sacramento, but rather at the major Bay Area hubs: San Francisco International Airport (SFO) or Oakland International Airport (OAK). However, the drive from Woodland to the Bay Area can be daunting, often taking two hours or more depending on the notoriously unpredictable traffic along I-80.

Don't let the drive deter you from the perfect flight itinerary. Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland offers comfortable, long-distance airport transfer shuttles that make the journey part of the vacation. Instead of white-knuckling it through Vallejo and Berkeley traffic, your group can relax in a climate-controlled cabin with reclining seats. Use the onboard WiFi to finish last-minute work, or watch a movie on the flat-screen TVs to pass the time. We handle the navigation, and the timing, ensuring you arrive at SFO or OAK with plenty of time to spare before your flight.

Private Aviation Services at Watts-Woodland Airport

For executive teams, private charters, or agricultural business leaders, the Watts-Woodland Airport (17992 Co Rd 94B, Woodland, CA 95695) offers a convenient general aviation option right in our backyard. Located just minutes from downtown Woodland, this airport allows for quick entries and exits without the crowds of commercial hubs.

Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland provides VIP ground transportation for private flights. We can arrange for a sleek sprinter van or a luxury minibus to meet your aircraft directly on the tarmac (where permitted) or at the FBO. The drivers are well versed in handling high-profile corporate travel. We can shuttle your team directly from the runway to meetings at local agricultural giants, food processing plants, or straight to a dinner reservation at Kitchen428 Restaurant (428 1st St, Woodland, CA 95695). When every minute counts, trust us to provide a seamless connection between air and ground.

The Ideal Solution for Corporate Travel and Conventions

Woodland and the surrounding Yolo County area are hubs for agriculture and industry, drawing business travelers from all over the world. If you are organizing a conference, a site inspection tour, or a corporate retreat, moving your team from the airport to your venue efficiently is critical. Nothing kills the momentum of a business trip faster than waiting an hour for a rental car or getting lost on the way to the hotel.

Our corporate shuttle services are designed for productivity. Book a bus with power outlets and tray tables so your team can prep for their presentation on the way from SMF. We can set up a recurring shuttle schedule between the airport, the Best Western Shadow Inn (584 N East St, Woodland, CA 95776), and your meeting site. With Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland, you ensure that every member of your team arrives simultaneously, focused, and ready to get down to business. We’ve worked with companies of all sizes since 2011, and we understand the importance of punctuality in the corporate world.

Stress-Free Family and Wedding Airport Logistics

Are you planning a beautiful wedding at the Historic Hotel Woodland or a family reunion at Nelson’s Grove? If you have guests flying in from out of state, being a good host starts with helping them get to the venue. Navigating an unfamiliar area can be stressful for guests, especially older relatives or those traveling with young children.

By booking a private airport shuttle with Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland, you provide a warm welcome from the moment they touch down. We can organize a circuit that picks up guests from Sacramento International Airport and delivers them to their hotels in Woodland. On the day of the event, the same bus can shuttle them to the ceremony and reception. This not only ensures that everyone arrives on time but also keeps the group together to start the celebration early. You can even request a bus with an AUX connection to play a custom playlist to get everyone in the festive spirit the moment they board!

Comfort and Amenities for the Road

Why choose a charter bus over a caravan of rental cars? It comes down to comfort and amenities. Airport transfers, especially after a long flight, should be relaxing. Our fleet of modern buses offers features that turn a commute into a comfortable experience.

Most of our full-size charter buses and minibuses come equipped with ample luggage storage. Large motorcoaches feature spacious undercarriage bays that can easily handle heavy suitcases, golf clubs, or equipment cases, keeping the cabin clutter-free. Inside, you’ll find plush, reclining seats with plenty of legroom—far more than you’d get in an economy airplane seat or a backseat taxi. Many of our buses also feature onboard restrooms (on 56-passenger models), which is a game-changer for longer trips to Bay Area airports. With climate control to handle the Sacramento Valley heat and panoramic windows to take in the views of the Yolo countryside, the ride becomes a highlight of the trip.

How Our Airport Pickup Process Works

At Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland, we have refined our pickup process to be as smooth as possible. When you book with us, we ask for your flight details so we can monitor arrival times. If your flight is delayed, we adjust our schedule accordingly—you won’t be left stranded.

For pickups at Sacramento International (SMF), your driver will wait in the designated cell phone lot or staging area until your group has landed and collected baggage. Once you are ready at the curb, a quick call to your driver brings the bus around to the designated charter bus loading zone. This ensures you aren't paying for unnecessary wait time while avoiding the congestion of the terminal loop. For departures, we recommend scheduling your pickup to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights to ensure a stress-free check-in process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Woodland Airport Transportation

How much luggage can we bring on the bus?

Luggage capacity depends on the type of bus you rent. A full-size 56-passenger charter bus features large undercarriage storage bays that can accommodate one large suitcase per passenger, along with overhead bins for carry-on items. Minibuses (18-35 passengers) have limited or no undercarriage storage, but often have rear storage compartments or overhead racks. If your group is traveling with excessive luggage, such as sports equipment or musical instruments, please let our reservation specialists know when you call 707-602-3074 so we can recommend the right vehicle for your needs.

What happens if our flight is delayed?

We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book an airport transfer with Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland, we request your flight information so we can track your arrival status in real-time. We offer a grace period for delays, and our 24/7 dispatch team will work to adjust your driver’s schedule to ensure they are there when you land. We recommend keeping in touch with your driver or our dispatch team if you experience significant delays or gate changes.

Does the bus pick us up right at the curb?

Yes, in most cases! At Sacramento International Airport (SMF) and most major airports, there are designated zones specifically for charter buses and shuttles on the curbside of the arrivals or departures levels. Your driver will coordinate with you to meet you at the specific door or terminal zone assigned to charter vehicles. For departures, we will drop you off right at your airline’s terminal curb, making it easy to unload luggage and check-in.

How far in advance should I book my airport shuttle?

We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For peak travel seasons (holidays, summer, and spring break), we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. However, because we have access to a large fleet, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Call us 24/7 at 707-602-3074 to check availability for your dates.

Are food and drinks allowed on the bus?

Yes, food and drinks are allowed on most of our buses! We want you to be comfortable, especially after a long flight. We just ask that you help keep the bus tidy by avoiding messy foods and disposing of trash in the provided receptacles.
