Private Event Transportation From a Network of Independent Bus Companies
Sanmateocharterbusrentals.com is a quote comparison and referral website — not a local bus company. That distinction matters. Because we don't own a single vehicle, you're never limited to whatever one fleet happens to have available on your date.
Instead, Sanmateocharterbusrentals.com brings together a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving San Mateo and the entire Peninsula, so you can compare more vehicle types, more amenity packages, and more price points than any single operator could ever offer. Fill out one form, land on a results page showing buses with photos and pricing, and book the one that fits — no account required, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guessing. A live support team is also available every day of the year at 650-281-2430 to build a custom package around your exact itinerary.
That's the whole idea: one form, many options, zero hassle.
More Buses, More Options for Your Private Event Transportation

Need a 56-passenger motorcoach with undercarriage luggage bays, reclining seats, onboard WiFi, and a restroom for a multi-day conference run down to San Jose? That's here too. Party buses with built-in bars, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound are available for bachelorette nights through downtown San Mateo.
Minibuses seating 15 to 35 passengers are perfect for wedding shuttles looping between The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay and a Burlingame hotel. Whatever your group needs, compare it all in one place — with pricing in under 30 seconds.

Smooth Festival and Fair Buses for San Mateo County Events
The San Mateo County Fair brings huge numbers of visitors to the San Mateo County Event Center (1346 Saratoga Dr, San Mateo, CA 94403) each June, and the parking situation around Saratoga Drive and Delaware Street gets congested fast. The official San Mateo County Fair dates for 2026 are June 5–14, with the fair closed to the public on Monday, June 8, and Tuesday, June 9. The San Mateo Art & Wine Festival takes over downtown's Central Park area every July 4th weekend, closing streets around Baldwin Avenue and drawing crowds that make street parking a genuine ordeal.
At the County Fair, public parking is $20 per pass and there are no parking in-and-out privileges, so one event bus drops everyone together without sending you back through the lot. Instead of splitting your group into multiple cars and hunting for a spot, one event bus drops everyone at the entrance and picks them up when the day is done. Compare minibuses and charter buses from a network of San Mateo-area operators — all in one place, with pricing in under 30 seconds.

Corporate and Conference Buses That Keep Peninsula Teams Moving
US-101 through San Mateo and Burlingame loses time every single weekday — and when your team is stuck in that crawl in separate cars, it's dead time nobody gets back. A dedicated employee shuttle bus changes that. Whether you're moving a GoPro team between the San Mateo campus and a Redwood City client site, running a recurring morning route from the Caltrain station at 48 East 4th Avenue to a tech campus along the 101 corridor, or shuttling conference attendees between SFO-area hotels and the San Mateo County Event Center for a multi-day summit, one bus handles the whole group.
WiFi and power outlets turn the commute into productive time. Sanmateocharterbusrentals.com helps you compare corporate shuttle buses from a network of Peninsula operators — call 650-281-2430 to build a custom route!
Charter Buses to Giants, 49ers, and Warriors Games From San Mateo
Game day from San Mateo means picking your battle: US-101 north toward the Bay Bridge for a Giants night at Oracle Park (24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107), US-101 south toward Santa Clara for a 49ers Sunday at Levi's Stadium (4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054), or across the Bay Bridge to Chase Center (1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158) for a Warriors tip-off. All three routes back up on game days, and parking at every venue costs more than the bus. At Oracle Park, bus drop-off is at 3rd Street and Townsend Street.
At Chase Center, buses use the designated curb on Terry A. Francois Boulevard near 16th Street. At Levi's Stadium, oversized vehicles coordinate drop-off through the stadium's event operations team. One bus, one bill, everyone in together — compare your options at 650-281-2430!
Wedding and Private Event Buses Across the Peninsula
A wedding day on the Peninsula has enough moving parts without adding a parking problem to the list. Whether you're shuttling guests from a Marriott in Burlingame to a ceremony at Filoli Historic House & Garden (654 Canada Rd, Woodside, CA 94062), running a hotel loop between downtown San Mateo and a reception at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay (One Miramontes Point Rd, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019), or coordinating a rehearsal dinner shuttle along the El Camino Real corridor, one wedding bus keeps every guest together and on schedule. Request white, black, or silver vehicles to match your colors when you fill out your quote. Sanmateocharterbusrentals.com lets you compare wedding shuttle buses from a network of Peninsula operators — with pricing in under 30 seconds online or by calling 650-281-2430 any time!
Airport Shuttle Buses to SFO and Beyond
San Francisco International Airport sits just seven miles north of downtown San Mateo on US-101 — close enough that groups assume the ride is simple, and busy enough that it almost never is. SFO handled approximately 51.3 million passengers in fiscal year 2024, and the US-101 approach through Millbrae and South San Francisco backs up during every morning peak. Long-term garage parking at SFO runs $27 max per 24 hours, which adds up fast across a group.
A charter bus or minibus picks your whole group up from hotels or offices along the Peninsula, uses the charter courtyards on the Arrivals/Baggage Claim Level for airport pickups and drop-offs, and eliminates the parking bill entirely. The SFO charter pickup and drop-off page puts the bus in the correct courtyard, while the curb remains active loading only — no waiting while passengers are still gathering. Need Oakland or San Jose instead? Sanmateocharterbusrentals.com covers OAK and SJC too.
Call 650-281-2430 to arrange your airport shuttle!
Prom and School Event Buses Across San Mateo County
Prom season hits San Mateo County schools hard every April and May — San Mateo High, Aragon High in San Mateo, Hillsdale High in San Mateo, Burlingame High, and every other district school fills the calendar with overlapping dates that drain the available bus supply fast. Waiting until March to book a prom party bus in San Mateo County means paying more for fewer choices, or finding nothing left at all. Book in the fall — six months out is the right window for prom and homecoming dates.
The same urgency applies to school field trips: a 56-passenger charter bus keeps every student and chaperone accounted for in one vehicle, with overhead storage for backpacks and undercarriage bays for equipment. Sanmateocharterbusrentals.com helps you compare school event buses from a network of transportation providers serving San Mateo — call 650-281-2430 to hold your date now!

The San Mateo County Event Center is located at 1346 Saratoga Dr, San Mateo, CA 94403. Your bus uses the designated drop-off address at 2544 S. Delaware Street, San Mateo, CA 94403, on the corner of South Delaware Street and 25th Avenue, where Gate 3A provides pedestrian access into the South Parking lot. Bus and oversized vehicle access is coordinated through the Event Center's operations team on a per-event basis, since drop-off zones shift depending on which lots are active for a given event.
Contact the Event Center directly at (650) 574-3247 to confirm the designated bus entrance and drop-off lane for your specific date before you arrive — particularly during the County Fair in June, when Saratoga Drive sees heavy inbound traffic.
Three to six months out is the right window for most events. For prom and homecoming season across San Mateo County schools (April–May), the County Fair in June, and the Art & Wine Festival over the July 4th weekend, book six months out or more. Those dates pull from the same pool of available Peninsula buses simultaneously, and waiting until the last minute means higher rates and fewer vehicle options.
Call 650-281-2430 as soon as your date is confirmed.
Levi's Stadium is approximately 20 miles south of San Mateo via US-101 — roughly 25 to 35 minutes off-peak, but 45 to 75 minutes during a game-day Sunday afternoon on the 101 south through Santa Clara. Oversized vehicle drop-off and parking at Levi's Stadium is coordinated through the stadium's event operations team on a per-game basis, so confirm your bus access point when you book. Check the Levi's Stadium parking and transportation page for current event-day guidance before your trip.
Yes. SR-92, the San Mateo–Hayward Bridge, carries charter buses between the Peninsula and the East Bay with no height or weight restriction issues for standard motorcoaches. The bridge is seven miles long and westbound traffic backs up at the toll plaza during morning commute hours.
For East Bay events — Oakland Coliseum, Oakland Arena, or pickups in Hayward and Fremont — build extra time into your departure window when crossing westbound during the morning peak. Sanmateocharterbusrentals.com helps you compare buses for cross-bay routes at 650-281-2430.
Skip it entirely. SFO long-term parking runs $27 max per 24 hours per vehicle — across a group of 20 people in five or six cars, that bill compounds fast over a week-long trip. A charter bus or minibus picks everyone up at hotels, homes, or a central meeting point along the Peninsula, uses the charter courtyards on the Arrivals/Baggage Claim Level, and eliminates every parking cost in one flat rate.
For arrivals, pickup is at the Level 1 Arrivals courtyards — Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 and 3, Courtyards A and G for the International Terminal. Confirm your courtyard on the SFO charter bus pickup and drop-off page before your trip.
