The Right-Sized Bus for Mid-Size Groups
An executive shuttle bus is a mid-size bus that seats 12 to 36 passengers, bigger than a Sprinter van and smaller than a full motor coach, driven by a professional commercial driver. It is the most practical way to move a team, a wedding party or a tour group together, without the cost of a 56-seat coach or the hassle of several cars.
Our black executive shuttle buses have reclining leather seats, climate control, overhead lighting and room for bags. Since 1997 we have run them on airport runs, office shuttles, hotel loops and day trips all over Northern California. Questions? Call (925) 315-7150.

What Is an Executive Shuttle Bus?
Quick answer: an executive shuttle bus is a mid-size, chauffeured bus for 12 to 36 passengers with comfortable reclining seats and luggage space. It sits between a Sprinter van (up to 14) and a motor coach (50 to 56), which makes it the go-to choice for groups that are too big for a van but too small to fill a coach.

How Many Shuttle Buses Do I Need?
Quick answer: divide your total guests by the bus size, then decide whether everyone must arrive at once or whether the bus can run a loop. For example, 90 wedding guests can ride in three 31-passenger buses at the same time, or in one 36-passenger bus making three trips on a 20-minute loop if the hotel is close to the venue. Tell us your guest count and timeline and we will recommend the most cost-effective plan.
Tips for Planning a Shuttle Loop
- Keep pickup points simple: one clearly marked hotel entrance works best.
- Share a printed schedule with guests or employees so they know when the next bus leaves.
- Add buffer time for Bay Bridge, US-101 and I-880 traffic.
- Plan the last run so nobody is left behind at the end of the night.
- Name one on-site contact who can talk with our driver and dispatcher.
How Much Does a Shuttle Bus Rental Cost?
Quick answer: executive shuttle buses are usually priced by the hour with a minimum, and the total depends on the bus size, the day, the number of hours and the route. Recurring corporate shuttles and multi-day events can be quoted as a package. Because one bus replaces many cars, the cost per rider is often lower than rideshares or parking. Call (925) 315-7150 or request a shuttle bus quote.
