The results page does the rest — loading vehicles, photos, and pricing from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Berkeley and the entire Bay Area, all in one place.
You'll love that Alamedacharterbuscompany.com is not a local bus company. Because it doesn't own any vehicles, you're never limited to whatever one fleet happens to have open on your date. Instead, you get TONS of different bus types, TONS of different amenity configurations, and TONS of different price points to fit YOUR group and YOUR needs.
A 15-passenger minibus for a small team. A 56-passenger motorcoach for a full conference group. A party bus for a bachelorette night through Temescal and Uptown Oakland.
It's all in the network.
And help is always one call away. Whether you have a detailed itinerary ready or just a date and a headcount, a live agent at 510-356-3260 can walk you through the available options, answer every question, and put together a custom package that works for your trip.

With so many different group transportation needs across Berkeley and the East Bay, Alamedacharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to find the right bus for any occasion! From airport transfers and corporate shuttles to prom nights and winery tours, the network has a bus ready for it. Browse the services below, fill out one quick form, and compare your options in seconds — or call 510-356-3260 any time!

With one form, you can compare airport shuttle buses for every Bay Area terminal — Oakland International Airport (OAK), San Francisco International (SFO), and Norman Y. Mineta San José International (SJC) — from a large network of transportation companies serving Berkeley.
OAK is the closest at about 14 miles south via I-580 to I-880, roughly 20 to 25 minutes off-peak. For a group heading to SFO, build in 25 to 45 extra minutes if you're crossing the Bay Bridge during the morning peak — westbound metering lights back up traffic well before the toll plaza, and that delay hits groups heading to early departures hardest. At OAK, commercial bus pickup is on the lower-level Arrivals curb in the designated commercial vehicle zone — not the rideshare curb at sections 3C2 through 3C9, which is a completely different area.
Have your whole group together with all luggage before calling the bus forward.
Whatever airport your group is flying through, Alamedacharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to find the right vehicle and the right package. Call 510-356-3260 to get started!

For quick and easy concert transportation from Berkeley, Alamedacharterbuscompany.com helps you compare buses for shows at the Greek Theatre on the UC Berkeley campus, the Fox Theater in Oakland, and venues across San Francisco — all from one form, with pricing in under 30 seconds.
The Greek Theatre sits in the UC Berkeley hills on Gayley Road, where parking on a sold-out night fills fast and the approach roads back up before the opener even starts. A charter bus or minibus drops your group near the entrance and stages while you're inside, so nobody circles the hill hunting for a space and nobody splits into rideshares to get back down. Heading into Oakland for a show at the Fox on Telegraph Avenue?
A bus handles the 3-mile run down Telegraph while your group starts the night early. Cross the Bay for a Chase Center show in San Francisco, and your bus can run the open waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard to avoid the SFMTA closures on 16th Street and Warriors Way around every major event. Fill out one form and compare your options!

Shuttling a team from a Berkeley hotel to the Marriott in Emeryville for a full-day conference? Moving a group of executives across the Bay Bridge for a client meeting in the Financial District? A corporate charter bus keeps everyone on the same schedule, on the same vehicle, and off the Bay Bridge metering-light backup that costs groups heading to SFO 25 to 45 minutes on a busy morning.
Buses in the network come with WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, and climate control — so your team arrives ready, not rattled. Compare available vehicles and packages in seconds, or call 510-356-3260 and a live agent will build a custom corporate shuttle package around your schedule!

Temporary transportation while your parking lot is under construction. Whatever the need, you can compare available vehicles and packages from a network of transportation companies serving the East Bay — and find a shuttle that works for your headcount and your timeline.

What makes government and military group transportation different is the scale — and the precision. Moving 20 people for a single meeting looks completely different from coordinating 200 people across several days of training, transfers, and events. Alamedacharterbuscompany.com helps you compare minibuses and full-size charter buses for government meetings, personnel moves, base transfers, and multi-day transportation throughout the East Bay and beyond.
ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts and wider aisles are available through the network — just mention it when you submit your trip details or call 510-356-3260.

Find the right bus for your group and your mission, without calling five companies to do it!

You'll love having a full-size motorcoach for the long haul. When your group is heading from Berkeley to Sacramento, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or anywhere beyond the Bay Area, a 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, and power outlets turns a long drive into a comfortable ride — and keeps everyone together on one vehicle instead of splitting across a caravan of cars.
Alamedacharterbuscompany.com helps you compare long-distance charter buses from a network of transportation companies serving Berkeley and the entire state.

On prom night, the last thing your group needs is five separate rideshares, a parking nightmare near the venue, and a scattered pickup plan when the night ends. A party bus or minibus keeps everyone together from the first pickup through the last drop-off — and Alamedacharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare available vehicles, colors, amenities, and pricing for your date from a large network of transportation companies serving Berkeley and the East Bay.

Alamedacharterbuscompany.com can help you compare school buses, minibuses, and full-size charter buses for field trips and school events across Berkeley and the East Bay — so you match the bus to your student-and-chaperone headcount instead of the other way around.
Planning a science trip to the Lawrence Hall of Science up on Centennial Drive? A charter bus drops students at the main entrance and stages in the adjacent lot while the group explores. Heading to the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley on Centennial Drive for a hands-on ecology lesson?
A minibus handles the winding upper-campus roads and keeps the whole class together. Need to cross the Bay for a visit to the Exploratorium or the Oakland Museum of California? One full-size motorcoach keeps every student accounted for on one vehicle.
Per UC Berkeley's visitor bus loading guidance, groups unload at the red zone at the bottom of the Haas Grand Staircase (2227 Piedmont Ave) and pick up at the white loading zone at 2521 Bancroft Way at Telegraph — confirm your specific drop point with the venue when you book. Call 510-356-3260 or fill out one form to compare field trip buses in seconds!

No matter the sport, the team, or the venue, Alamedacharterbuscompany.com helps you compare buses for fan groups, alumni, athletes, and coaches heading to games across the Bay Area. Cal Bears home Saturdays at California Memorial Stadium (1 Centennial Dr, Berkeley, CA 94720) are among the highest-demand days of the year for East Bay bus rentals — especially the Big Game against Stanford on November 21, 2026, the toughest date of the year to find a vehicle. Book six months out or more for any home football Saturday.
Heading to a Warriors game at Chase Center in San Francisco? The SFMTA closes 16th Street and Warriors Way between 3rd Street and Terry A. Francois Boulevard before, during, and after every major event, with Northbound 3rd Street between 16th Street and Warriors Way closing after events only — but your bus can run the open waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard for a significantly faster arrival. Official charter bus drop-off and pickup is on the curb along Terry A. Francois Blvd near the intersection with 16th Street.

Waiting for a rideshare after your fourth tasting flight is nobody's idea of a good time. A brewery or winery tour bus keeps your whole group together from the first stop to the last, on your schedule, with no one worrying about how to get home at the end of the night.
Start local with a West Berkeley brewery crawl — Fieldwork Brewing Company (1160 6th St, Berkeley, CA 94710) in the Aquatic Park neighborhood and The Rare Barrel (940 Parker St, Berkeley, CA 94710) just a few blocks away, with wide industrial streets that make bus drop-off easy.

At OAK, charter and commercial bus drop-off for departing passengers is on the upper-level Departures curb (Level 2) — right lanes for Terminal 1, left lanes for Terminal 2 (Southwest Airlines). For arriving passengers, charter bus pickup is on the lower-level Arrivals curb (Level 1) in the designated commercial vehicle zone outside baggage claim. The rideshare pickup area is at the 3rd Curb, sections 3C2 through 3C9 — a completely different location.
Have your entire group together with all luggage before calling the bus forward, since commercial vehicles cannot idle at the curb while passengers are still at the carousel. Check the OAK ground transportation page and the OAK interactive terminal map for current curb assignments before your trip.
At SFO, domestic terminal drop-off is at Level 2 Departures, Center Island Green & White Zone. The International Terminal uses Bus Courtyard A or Bus Courtyard G on Level 1 Arrivals. Note that Level 3 Departures is restricted to vehicles seating 24 or fewer and under 30 feet in length — a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach cannot use it.
For arriving passengers, charter bus pickup is at the Level 1 Arrivals bus courtyards: Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 and 3, Courtyard 4 for Terminal 3, and Courtyards A and G for the International Terminal. The bus stages in the TCP staging area on N McDonnell Road and is called forward once your entire group is curbside with all luggage. Confirm your courtyard on the SFO charter bus pickup and drop-off map before your trip.
At SJC, charter bus pickup is at Terminal A Ground Transportation Center, Stop #4. At Terminal B, charter buses use Stop #11 in the middle island — not Stop #12, which is for scheduled bus services and is located directly south of Baggage Claim. These are different stops, and showing up at the wrong one with a large group on a busy travel day costs everyone time.
SJC has no official charter bus staging area, and commercial vehicles cannot use the Cell Phone Waiting Area, so the bus holds at off-site parking between runs — build extra time into your arrival window compared to OAK or SFO. Confirm current stop assignments on the SJC scheduled buses and charters page before your trip.
Per the UC Berkeley visitor bus loading and unloading zones page, groups unload at the red zone at the bottom of the Haas Grand Staircase (2227 Piedmont Ave) and are picked up at the white loading zone at 2521 Bancroft Way at Telegraph. Bancroft Way runs one-way westbound near the main gate, which constrains larger vehicle approaches — a minibus navigates this more easily than a full-size motorcoach. For California Memorial Stadium home football games, charter bus parking requires a permit purchased in advance through UC Berkeley, with lot and staging assignments confirmed on the UC Berkeley special events parking page before game day, since assignments can shift by event.
The SFMTA closes 16th Street and Warriors Way between 3rd Street and Terry A. Francois Boulevard before, during, and after every major Chase Center event. Northbound 3rd Street between 16th Street and Warriors Way is restricted after events only. The open route is Terry A. Francois Boulevard along the waterfront — significantly faster arrivals and exits than the inner neighborhood streets.
Official charter bus drop-off and pickup is on the curb along Terry A. Francois Boulevard near the intersection with 16th Street. Cross-reference active closures on the SFMTA Chase Center Street Restrictions Map before your event.
The two biggest demand stretches in Berkeley are Cal football season (home Saturdays September through November) and commencement season (the first half of May, when the campuswide ceremony at California Memorial Stadium and individual department graduations overlap). The Big Game against Stanford on November 21, 2026 is the single toughest date of the year to find a vehicle in the East Bay. Prom season in April and May across Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Oakland, and Piedmont school districts fills buses fast.
For any of those dates, book six months out or more. For most other Berkeley trips, three to four months of lead time gives you the best selection and pricing. Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates and fewer options — so book as early as you can.
For most Berkeley trips, book three to six months in advance to get the best pricing and the widest vehicle selection. For high-demand dates — Cal home football Saturdays, the Big Game on November 21, 2026, commencement weekend in May, and prom season in April and May — book six months out or more. The East Bay bus market moves fast on peak dates, and waiting until the last minute means higher rates, fewer vehicle options, or both.
The sooner you fill out the form or call 510-356-3260, the more you'll have to choose from!
