Amenities listed above are common features that MAY be available on buses. Because we are a referral website and do NOT own or operate buses, exact features vary by vehicle, provider, and availability.

From the moment you submit your trip details, pricing comes back in under a minute. Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com pulls together quotes from a network of transportation companies serving San Francisco so you can see numbers for your specific date, group size, and itinerary — not a vague estimate, not a callback. You'll see pricing before you book, with no hidden surprises.
Prices vary based on the bus type, the day of the week, how many hours you need the vehicle, and the route. A 15-passenger minibus for an airport run to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) costs differently than a 50-passenger party bus for a bachelorette night through North Beach and the Mission. The fastest way to know what your trip costs is to use the online quote tool right on this page — or call 775-362-6940 any time and a live agent will build a custom package around your itinerary.

Get your whole group to the terminal without turning departure day into a logistical nightmare.

At San Francisco International Airport (SFO) (San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco, CA 94128), charter buses drop off at the Level 2 Departures Center Island Green & White Zone for domestic terminals, and at Bus Courtyard A or Bus Courtyard G on Level 1 Arrivals for the International Terminal. Pickup is at the Level 1 Arrivals courtyards — Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 and 3, and Courtyards A and G for international arrivals. Note that Level 3 Departures is restricted to vehicles seating 24 or fewer under 30 feet, so a full-size coach uses Level 2.
The commercial staging area is on N McDonnell Road — your bus holds there until your group is assembled curbside with all luggage in hand, then pulls forward. For international arrivals, build in 30 to 45 minutes after wheels down for customs, immigration, and baggage before calling the bus.
Flying into Oakland International Airport (OAK) (1 Airport Dr, Oakland, CA 94621) instead? Drop-off is at the upper-level departures curb, and pickup is at the lower-level arrivals commercial zone outside baggage claim. Do not send your group to the rideshare curb — OAK places rideshare pickup on the 3rd Curb at sections 3C2 through 3C9, a completely separate location.

Francois Boulevard from two hours before until one hour after every major event — and northbound 3rd Street closes 30 minutes before and 45 minutes after events, triggering a $13-per-hour event parking rate at nearby meters. Your bus runs the open waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard instead, dropping your group at the designated white-curb staging areas near the intersection of Terry A. Francois Boulevard and 16th Street, steps from the east entrances. You can cross-reference active road closures using the official SFMTA Chase Center Street Restrictions Map before your event.

At Chase Center, SFMTA road closures shut down 16th Street and Warriors Way up to two hours before tipoff. Your bus runs Terry A.

You compare the options and book through the process shown with your quote.
Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com is a quote-comparison and referral website, not a local bus company or motor carrier. It brings together a large network of independently owned transportation companies so you can compare vehicles, amenities, and prices in one place — without calling multiple companies or waiting on callbacks.

At San Francisco International Airport (SFO), charter buses drop off at the Level 2 Departures Center Island Green & White Zone for domestic terminals. The International Terminal uses Bus Courtyard A or Bus Courtyard G on Level 1 Arrivals. For pickup, buses use the Level 1 Arrivals courtyards: Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 and 3, and Courtyards A and G for the International Terminal.
Level 3 Departures is restricted to vehicles seating 24 or fewer under 30 feet, so a full-size motorcoach uses Level 2. The commercial staging area is on N McDonnell Road — your bus holds there until your group is assembled curbside with all luggage in hand. Confirm current access details on the official SFO charter bus pickup and drop-off page before your trip.
The SFMTA enforces mandatory road closures on 16th Street and Warriors Way between 3rd Street and Terry A. Francois Boulevard from two hours before until one hour after every major Chase Center event. Northbound 3rd Street between 16th Street and Warriors Way also closes 30 minutes before and 45 minutes after events, and nearby street meters jump to $13 per hour during that window. Your bus avoids all of it by running the open waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard and dropping your group at the designated white-curb staging areas near 16th Street, steps from the east entrances.
Cross-reference active closures on the official SFMTA Chase Center Street Restrictions Map before your event.
At Oracle Park, group drop-offs are at 3rd Street and Townsend Street. Bus parking is available at Lot A/Pier 48 (74 Mission Rock St, San Francisco, CA 94158) or Lot C, south of the field — both must be arranged in advance through Giants Group Ticketing, since oversized-vehicle spaces in Lot A are limited. The bus parking rate runs approximately twice the car rate, but one charter bus still beats parking a caravan of individual cars.
Review current details on the official Giants driving and parking page before game day.
Full-size charter buses and large motorcoaches cannot navigate the famous crooked block of Lombard Street — the turns are too tight for an oversized vehicle. For a Lombard Street stop, your bus drops the group at the top of the hill on Hyde Street and picks everyone up at the bottom on Leavenworth Street, or stages nearby while the group walks. The same principle applies throughout San Francisco's steeper residential neighborhoods: a 15- to 35-passenger minibus handles tighter streets far better than a 56-passenger coach, and on Carsoncitycharterbuscompany.com you can compare both side by side to find what works for your itinerary.
According to the INRIX 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard, San Francisco drivers lose 116 hours per year to congestion — among the worst in the nation. The Bay Bridge westbound adds 25 to 45 minutes during morning peak, when metering lights at the toll plaza back traffic up well before the approach. US-101 southbound toward Levi's Stadium backs up significantly on 49ers game days.
For airport runs, build a 30-minute buffer on top of the drive time for any trip that crosses the Bay Bridge or runs through SoMa during commute hours. One bus handles all of it while your group relaxes instead of watching brake lights.
The dates that fill the San Francisco bus market fastest include Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park (typically early August), Hardly Strictly Bluegrass (first weekend of October), SF Pride (late June), Dreamforce at Moscone Center (September), GDC (March), RSA Conference (late April), Fleet Week (mid-October), and Bay to Breakers (mid-May). Golden State Warriors home games, Giants home games, and 49ers game days pull demand across the entire region. Prom season in April and May books out fast across Bay Area school districts.
For most other trips, booking three to six months out gives you the best selection and the best pricing.
Book three to six months out for most San Francisco trips to get the widest vehicle selection and the best available pricing. Stretch that to six months or more for Outside Lands, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Dreamforce, SF Pride, and any 49ers, Warriors, or Giants home game. Prom season across Bay Area school districts runs April through May and books out early — the sooner you lock in your date, the more options you'll have and the less you'll pay.
Waiting until the last minute means higher rates and fewer buses to choose from. Call 775-362-6940 right now to hold your date!
