What moves the price? Vehicle size and type matter most — a 15-passenger sprinter van runs differently than a 56-passenger motorcoach. Your date matters too: San Mateo County Fair weekend in June, Bay Area prom season in April and May, and major event weekends at Levi's Stadium and Oracle Park all drive demand up fast.

Find and Compare Options From Providers Serving San Mateo
Why call five companies for one date? Why sit on hold during business hours when your group is counting on you to have transportation sorted? Berkeleycharterbuscompany.com exists to make that process fast and simple. Share your trip details once, and you're instantly comparing buses from a network of independent transportation providers serving San Mateo, Burlingame, Foster City, Redwood City, and the entire Peninsula — all on one screen.
Because Berkeleycharterbuscompany.com pulls from a large network instead of a single fleet, you're never told "sorry, we don't have anything available that weekend." If one provider is booked, another is right there in the results. You can compare a 25-passenger party bus against a 40-passenger minibus for the same Saturday night, look at photos of both, check the amenities, and decide — without a single phone call if you don't want one.
And if you do want to talk it through, a live agent is available at 510-780-3332 every day of the year to help you build a custom package around your itinerary, your headcount, and your budget.
One form. One results page. Every bus you need to see, right there.
That's it.
From SFO airport transfers and corporate shuttles along the US-101 tech corridor, to prom nights, field trips, wine tours to Livermore Valley, and wedding shuttles across the Peninsula — whatever brings your group together in San Mateo, there's a bus in the network ready for it. Here's a look at what you can find and book right here.

San Mateo sits roughly five miles south of San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on US-101 — close enough that airport runs look easy on a map, and chaotic enough in practice that groups regret not booking a bus. SFO's cell phone lot is at North McDonnell Road, and commercial ground transportation for pre-arranged charter buses and shuttles loads from the designated commercial vehicle curb lanes on the Arrivals/Departures level of each terminal. The key: do not call for the bus until every passenger has cleared baggage claim and is standing curbside together.
SFO enforces commercial vehicle dwell time, and a bus circling the terminal because two passengers are still at the carousel costs everyone time.
Groups flying into Oakland International Airport (OAK) — about 25 miles east via SR-92 and I-880 — or San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC), roughly 25 miles south on US-101, can also find buses through this network. Whichever airport your group lands at, call 510-780-3332 to coordinate your pickup plan before wheels down!

San Mateo sits almost exactly between two of the Bay Area's biggest concert venues, and getting to either one without a bus is a genuine headache. Shoreline Amphitheatre (1 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043) is about 15 miles south — and on a sold-out summer night, Amphitheatre Parkway and US-101 near the Rengstorff Avenue interchange back up for miles before the gates even open. Charter buses and oversized vehicles use designated drop-off and parking areas; confirm current lot assignments through the Shoreline Amphitheatre venue page before your show date.
Heading north to Chase Center (1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158) for a concert? The SFMTA enforces mandatory road closures on Warriors Way and 16th Street between 3rd Street and Terry A. Francois Boulevard starting two hours before major events. Your bus avoids that entirely by running the waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard, with white-curb drop-off near the 16th Street intersection.
A party bus with Bluetooth sound and LED lighting keeps the energy going from San Mateo to the first song — call 510-780-3332 to compare options!

The US-101 corridor through San Mateo County is one of the most congested commuter routes in California. Bay Area transportation providers lose significant hours every year to gridlock — and the stretch between San Mateo and San Francisco is reliably among the worst of it, especially northbound in the morning and southbound in the evening. A corporate charter bus turns that lost time into a productive or at least restful ride, and gives your company one predictable transportation cost instead of reimbursing parking across a dozen cars.
San Mateo is home to major corporate offices, and the Peninsula tech corridor runs from Redwood City through Foster City, San Mateo, and Burlingame up to South San Francisco. Whether you're shuttling a team to a conference at the San Mateo County Event Center (1346 Saratoga Dr, San Mateo, CA 94403), coordinating arrivals from SFO for an executive offsite, or running a daily employee shuttle between Caltrain stations and a campus off El Camino Real, the network has the vehicle for it. Full-size motorcoaches come with reclining seats, WiFi, and power outlets — so your team arrives ready.
Call 510-780-3332 to build a custom corporate route!

US-101 through San Mateo is not a commute — it's a daily tax on your team's time and energy. A dedicated employee shuttle from a Park & Ride lot or a Caltrain station gets everyone in together, turns dead windshield time into a usable hour, and takes one car at a time off the 101. For companies with campuses off Hillsdale Boulevard, the Foster City waterfront, or the Bay Meadows district, a recurring shuttle route built around your shift times is a genuine retention and productivity tool.
Through this network, you can find minibuses for smaller teams and full-size motorcoaches for larger ones — with WiFi and power outlets for morning check-ins and reclining seats for the ride home. You can book by the day, the week, or set up a recurring contract route. One bus, one flat cost, no parking reimbursements, no late arrivals because someone missed the on-ramp.
Call 510-780-3332 to put together a custom employee shuttle package for your San Mateo team!

Government agencies, county departments, and military units moving groups through San Mateo County have access to the full vehicle network through this site — from 15-passenger sprinter vans for small staff transfers to 56-passenger motorcoaches for large-scale personnel movements. San Mateo County offices are headquartered at 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063, and groups traveling between county facilities, court locations, or training sites across the Peninsula can coordinate point-to-point bus service without the logistics of a vehicle carpool.
Groups traveling to or from Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View — about 20 miles south on US-101 — or coordinating transfers to SFO for official travel can also find buses through this network. ADA-accessible vehicles are available; just mention it when you request your quote. Call 510-780-3332 or use the online tool to compare vehicles and pricing for your department's next group move!

San Mateo is a natural staging point for long-distance group travel up and down the California coast and across the Bay Area. Need to get a group to Los Angeles? A 56-passenger motorcoach on US-101 south covers the roughly 380 miles with reclining seats, an onboard restroom, WiFi, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays — no airline check-in lines, no baggage fees, no splitting the group across multiple flights.
Heading to Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, or Napa Valley? The network has buses for those routes too.
Closer in, groups traveling from San Mateo to San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz, or Monterey can find minibuses and charter buses sized to their headcount. SR-92 west over the Santa Cruz Mountains to Half Moon Bay is a two-lane road that slows significantly on weekends — one bus handles it better than a caravan of cars trying to stay together on a winding coastal highway. Call 510-780-3332 to get pricing for your long-distance route!

Backyard parties, milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, retirement celebrations — whatever the occasion, a private bus rental keeps your whole group together from the first pickup to the last drop-off. No designated driver negotiations. No group splitting into cars at the end of the night.
No one circling the block at a restaurant on 3rd Avenue in San Mateo looking for parking that doesn't exist.
Party buses in the network come with color-changing LED lighting, a full-length bar, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating — so the event starts on the bus, not at the venue. For larger gatherings, a full-size charter bus keeps 56 passengers comfortable with climate control, overhead storage, and reclining seats. The San Mateo County Event Center (1346 Saratoga Dr) hosts private events year-round, and the surrounding parking situation on event nights makes a bus drop-off far smarter than a parking lot scramble.
Call 510-780-3332 to compare private event buses for your San Mateo date!

Prom season in San Mateo County — April through May — is the single busiest stretch of the year for party bus and charter bus rentals across the Peninsula. San Mateo High School, Aragon High School, Hillsdale High School, Burlingame High School, and Mills High School all schedule their dances within the same narrow window, and the buses go fast. Book by December or expect premium pricing and slim pickings by March.
Waiting until April will cost you more money than booking early — this is not a maybe, it is a certainty.
A 15- to 50-passenger party bus is the go-to for prom groups: LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, an onboard bar setup, and flat-panel TVs to keep the energy high from the first pickup to the after-party drop-off. Compare buses and lock in your date through the online tool or call 510-780-3332 right now — the earlier you book, the better your options and the better your price!

Moving a congregation, youth group, or faith community across San Mateo County doesn't have to mean a parking lot prayer and a caravan of volunteer carpools. A charter bus or minibus keeps your whole group together, on time, and comfortable — whether you're heading to a retreat in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a regional conference in San Jose, or a service event in San Francisco.
Minibuses fitting 15 to 35 passengers work well for smaller congregations and youth groups, with overhead storage for supplies and modern climate control for the ride. Full-size motorcoaches handle larger groups with reclining seats and onboard restrooms for longer journeys. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — just note it when you request your quote.
No account needed, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing required. Fill out one form or call 510-780-3332 to compare religious group transportation options serving San Mateo today!

Skip the yellow school bus and the parent carpool. A charter bus or minibus rental keeps your class together, gives chaperones room to actually supervise, and arrives at the destination without the logistical scramble of multiple vehicles. CuriOdyssey (1651 Coyote Point Dr, San Mateo, CA 94401) — the science museum and wildlife center at Coyote Point — is a popular San Mateo field trip destination with bus-friendly drop-off along Coyote Point Drive.
The San Mateo County History Museum (2200 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063) is another strong option for Peninsula school groups.
For longer field trips, Filoli Historic House & Garden (86 Cañada Rd, Woodside, CA 94062) offers guided group tours of its 654-acre estate — buses drop off at the main entrance on Cañada Road, and group visit details are available through the Filoli visit planning page. ADA-accessible buses are available through this network. Call 510-780-3332 to compare field trip buses sized to your exact student and chaperone count!

Game day on the Peninsula means one thing before kickoff: traffic on US-101. Levi's Stadium (4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054), home of the San Francisco 49ers, is about 22 miles south of San Mateo — and on a Sunday afternoon, the 101 south of SR-92 is a parking lot well before the opening drive. Charter buses and oversized vehicles use designated drop-off areas on Tasman Drive along the stadium's north side.
Confirm current event-day bus parking details through the Levi's Stadium parking page before your game.
Giants fans heading to Oracle Park (24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107) can find group bus drop-off at 3rd Street and Townsend Street, with bus parking at Lot A/Pier 48 (74 Mission Rock St) when arranged in advance. One party bus or charter bus means one parking pass, one pregame energy, and one plan — instead of eight cars trying to find each other at the right gate. Call 510-780-3332 to compare game-day buses from San Mateo!

Your guests should not be navigating SR-92 in the dark after a reception, or circling downtown San Mateo for parking in their formal wear before the ceremony. A wedding shuttle bus solves both problems: hotel pickup, ceremony drop-off, reception arrival, and end-of-night return — all handled, all on schedule, all in one vehicle your guests will actually enjoy riding.
Filoli Historic House & Garden in Woodside is one of the Peninsula's most sought-after wedding venues — a 654-acre National Trust Historic Site where a charter bus drop-off at the main entrance on Cañada Road beats a parking lot scramble for 80 guests. For receptions in downtown San Mateo or along the waterfront in Foster City, a minibus running a hotel loop keeps the night running on your timeline instead of everyone else's. You can request white, black, or silver buses to match your wedding palette.
Call 510-780-3332 to compare wedding shuttle buses for your San Mateo date — and book early, because Peninsula wedding season fills the calendar fast!

Two wine regions sit within an easy bus ride of San Mateo, and one of them most groups haven't thought of yet. Livermore Valley — about 30 miles east via SR-92 and I-580 — is home to more than 50 wineries including Wente Vineyards (5565 Tesla Rd, Livermore, CA 94550), California's oldest continuously operated family winery. The drive east on SR-92 across the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge takes roughly 45 minutes without traffic — and the bridge toll (currently $8.50) is only charged on the westbound return toward San Mateo, so a bus means no one's counting drinks at the tasting room.
Heading west instead? Half Moon Bay Brewing Company (390 Capistrano Rd, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019) and Coastside Brewing Company (105 S Cabrillo Hwy, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019) make a great coastal brewery crawl — but SR-92 westbound into the Santa Cruz Mountains is a two-lane road that slows significantly on weekend afternoons. One bus handles it better than four cars trying to stay together on a winding mountain highway.

Berkeleycharterbuscompany.com is a quote-comparison and referral website for group transportation.

Berkeleycharterbuscompany.com is not a bus company and does not own any vehicles. Transportation is provided by independent operators, and booking is completed through a national booking platform.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the closest major airport, roughly five miles north of downtown San Mateo on US-101. Pre-arranged charter buses and shuttles load from the designated commercial vehicle curb lanes on the Arrivals level of each terminal. The most important rule: collect every passenger and all luggage before calling for the bus.
SFO enforces dwell time for commercial vehicles, so the bus pulls to the curb when your group is ready — not before. Groups flying into Oakland (OAK) or San Jose (SJC) can also find airport transfer buses through this network. Call 510-780-3332 to coordinate your airport pickup plan!
Charter buses and oversized vehicles use designated drop-off areas along Tasman Drive on the stadium's north side. Levi's Stadium is about 22 miles south of San Mateo via US-101, and the freeway south of SR-92 backs up well before kickoff on game days. Bus parking assignments shift by event, so check the Levi's Stadium parking page or call the stadium's guest services line before your game to confirm current oversized vehicle lot assignments and any road closure schedules around Great America Parkway and Tasman Drive.
SR-92 westbound from San Mateo over the Santa Cruz Mountains is the standard route — roughly 15 miles to Half Moon Bay. It's a two-lane mountain highway that narrows significantly after the I-280 interchange, and westbound weekend afternoon traffic can slow it to a crawl. On a brewery crawl with multiple stops, four cars trying to stay together on a winding coastal road is a logistics problem that gets worse as the day goes on.
One bus handles the route, handles the parking at each stop, and handles the return trip — so everyone arrives and leaves together. Compare Half Moon Bay brewery tour buses through the online tool or call 510-780-3332!
Yes, and both are popular routes. Livermore Valley is the closer option — about 30 miles east via SR-92 across the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge and then I-580 east, roughly 45 minutes without traffic. The bridge toll (currently $8.50) applies only on the westbound return toward San Mateo.
Napa Valley is roughly 75 miles north via US-101 and SR-37 or I-80, typically 90 minutes to two hours depending on Bay Area traffic. Both routes are available through this network. Enter your trip details in the online quote tool or call 510-780-3332 to get pricing for your wine country route!
The San Mateo County Fair runs annually in June at the San Mateo County Event Center (1346 Saratoga Dr, San Mateo, CA 94403). The Event Center sits just west of US-101, and the surrounding streets — Saratoga Drive and Delaware Street — see significant congestion on busy fair days. Bus and oversized vehicle parking at the Event Center is limited and arrangements for large groups should be made in advance directly with the Event Center.
Check the San Mateo County Fair directions and parking page before your visit to confirm current bus parking availability, rates, and any designated drop-off lanes near the main entrance gates.
US-101 through San Mateo is the primary bottleneck — northbound in the morning and southbound in the evening are consistently among the worst Bay Area delays. I-280 runs parallel to the west and is generally faster, though it still congests during peak hours. The SR-92 interchange with US-101 near Foster City is a known merge backup point during the evening commute.
For trips heading into San Francisco, the US-101/I-280 split near Cesar Chavez Street adds time. A live agent at 510-780-3332 can help you time your departure to stay ahead of the worst of it.
Book three to six months out for the best rates and the widest vehicle selection. Stretch that to six months or more if your date lands during one of San Mateo's peak windows. Prom season (April–May) across San Mateo Union High School District fills the calendar fast — book by December or expect limited availability and premium pricing by spring.
The San Mateo County Fair in June, major concert weekends at Shoreline Amphitheatre and Chase Center, and 49ers home Sundays at Levi's Stadium all drive demand. For wine tours to Livermore or Half Moon Bay on summer weekends, two to three months is the minimum. The earlier you book, the more options you have — and the more money you save.
