A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Stress-Free Airport Transfers to Sacramento International (SMF)

For most travelers heading to Woodland, Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is the gateway of choice. Located just 10 to 15 minutes east of Woodland via Interstate 5, SMF is incredibly convenient. However, even with a short distance, moving a large group of 20, 50, or 100 people requires precision. Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland offers dedicated shuttle services to and from SMF (6900 Airport Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95837), ensuring that your arrival or departure is perfectly timed.

When you book a charter bus for an SMF pickup, you eliminate the hassle of airport parking garages and the "Economy Lot" shuffle. We monitor your flight status to ensure your driver is ready when you land. Whether you are arriving at Terminal A or Terminal B, we are familiar with the designated commercial vehicle loading zones. Your driver will meet your group curbside, assist with loading luggage into the undercarriage storage bays, and get you on the road toward Main Street Woodland in minutes.

For departing groups, we recommend scheduling your pickup with plenty of buffer time. While SMF is efficient, security lines can fluctuate. We will pick you up from your local hotel, such as the Hampton Inn & Suites Woodland-Sacramento Area (2060 Freeway Dr, Woodland, CA 95776) or the Best Western Shadow Inn (584 N East St, Woodland, CA 95776), and drop you right at the airline check-in curb.

Connecting Woodland to Major Bay Area Airports (SFO, OAK, SJC)

Sometimes, flight availability or costs dictate that your group flies into one of the larger Bay Area airports. While these hubs offer more international connections, they also present a logistical challenge: getting to Woodland, which is roughly 80 to 100 miles away depending on the airport. Navigating I-80 or I-680 after a long flight is exhausting, and a rideshare for that distance is astronomically expensive. This is where a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland becomes your best asset.

We provide long-distance airport transfer services from:

San Francisco International Airport (SFO): Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours from Woodland.
Oakland International Airport (OAK): Approximately 1.5 hours from Woodland.
San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC): Approximately 2 hours from Woodland.

Instead of cramming into a rental van for a two-hour drive, your group can stretch out in a full-size charter bus equipped with reclining seats, climate control, and onboard restrooms. Use the onboard WiFi to catch up on emails or stream entertainment while your driver handles the notorious Bay Area traffic and the causeway into Yolo County. We turn a long commute into a relaxing extension of your trip.

Private Aviation and Executive Transfers at Watts-Woodland Airport

For corporate executives, specialized agricultural teams, or VIPs arriving via private aircraft, the Watts-Woodland Airport (17992 Co Rd 94B, Woodland, CA 95695) is a vital local resource. Located just west of the city, this general aviation airport serves private charters and smaller aircraft. Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland offers discreet, high-end executive shuttle services directly to the tarmac or FBO (Fixed Base Operator).

We can provide sleek sprinter vans or executive minibuses for smaller groups arriving at Watts-Woodland. Your driver will be on-site prior to your landing, ensuring zero wait time. Whether you are heading straight to a board meeting at a local ag-tech firm or to a site inspection in the surrounding farmlands, our executive transport ensures you arrive with a professional presence. We understand that time is money, and our punctual service reflects that commitment to your schedule.

The Benefits of Booking a Private Airport Shuttle for Your Group

Why choose a private charter bus over hotel shuttles or ride-hailing apps? Control and comfort. When you rely on hotel shuttles, you are often at the mercy of a fixed loop schedule that might not align with your flight time. Rideshare apps surge in price during peak arrival times and split your group into multiple vehicles, increasing the risk of someone arriving late or getting lost.

With Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland, your group travels as one unit. This is crucial for sports teams carrying equipment, bands with instruments, or corporate groups with presentation materials. Our buses offer:

Ample Storage: Full-size coaches feature massive undercarriage bays for heavy luggage, golf clubs, or trade show gear, plus overhead bins for carry-ons.
Comfort: After a cramped flight, enjoy legroom, footrests, and the ability to recline.
Connectivity: Power outlets and WiFi allow you to recharge devices and check messages before arriving at your destination.
Reliability: We track flights and adjust for delays, ensuring no one is left stranded at the curb.

Custom Itineraries: From the Tarmac to Woodland’s Top Destinations

Your trip doesn't end the moment you leave the airport. One of the biggest advantages of renting with Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland is the ability to create a seamless door-to-door itinerary. We don't just drop you off; we can serve as your transportation for the duration of your stay.

Heading to a wedding? We can shuttle guests from SMF directly to beautiful venues like the Historic Hotel Woodland (436 Main St, Woodland, CA 95695) or outdoor ceremonies at the Yolo County Fairgrounds (1250 Gum Ave, Woodland, CA 95776). If you are here for an educational trip, we can take your students from the airport to the California Agriculture Museum (1962 Hays Ln, Woodland, CA 95776) for an immersive history lesson before checking into your hotel.

For corporate groups, we can arrange a route that goes from the airport to your hotel for check-in, then out to dinner at a top-rated local restaurant like Kitchen428 Restaurant & Mojo's Lounge (428 1st St, Woodland, CA 95695), and finally back to your accommodations. You build the schedule; we make it happen.

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Airport Transfer

Selecting the right vehicle is key to a comfortable airport transfer. Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland offers a diverse fleet to accommodate groups of all sizes.

For Small Groups and VIPs: Our sprinter vans and small minibuses (seating 10–25 passengers) are perfect for executive teams or families. These vehicles are agile enough to navigate airport terminals quickly while offering premium amenities like leather seating.

For Medium Groups and Weddings: Our mid-sized minibuses (seating 25–35 passengers) are ideal for wedding parties or shuttle loops. They offer a balance of capacity and maneuverability, making them great for transfers between SMF and downtown Woodland hotels.

For Large Groups and Sports Teams: Our full-size charter buses (seating up to 56 passengers) are the gold standard for large movements. With an onboard restroom (essential for trips from SFO or OAK), extensive luggage capacity, and high visibility for group coordination, these coaches ensure everyone arrives together.

How the Airport Pickup Process Works with Charter Bus Rental Company Woodland

We strive to make the pickup process as simple as possible. Once you book your bus, you will provide us with your flight numbers. On the day of travel, we monitor those flights for any changes. As your group deplanes and collects luggage, your driver will be staged in a nearby holding lot.

Once your group is curbside with all bags, a quick call to your driver brings the bus to the designated loading zone. At Sacramento International Airport (SMF), this is located on the ground level outside of baggage claim. Your driver will assist with loading luggage, ensuring a swift departure. For drop-offs, we pull right up to the departure level of your specific terminal, allowing for an easy unload so you can head straight to security. We handle the traffic and the parking logistics so you can focus on your trip.
