A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Navigating John Wayne Airport (SNA) Transfers
For travelers heading specifically to Buena Park or nearby Anaheim, John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana is often the most convenient option. Located approximately 15 to 20 miles from most Buena Park hotels, such as the Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel (7675 Crescent Ave, Buena Park, CA 90620) or the Courtyard by Marriott on Beach Blvd, SNA offers a more relaxed arrival experience compared to larger international hubs. However, even at a smaller airport, coordinating ground transportation for a group of 20, 50, or 100 people requires precision. When you book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Buena Park, you bypass the queues for rental cars and the uncertainty of app-based ride availability.
Upon arrival at SNA, your group will likely be directed to the Ground Transportation Center (GTC), located on the arrival (lower) level in the parking structure across from the Thomas F. Riley Terminal. This is the designated area for charter buses and large shuttles. Your driver will monitor your flight status to ensure they are ready for you when you land, regardless of delays. Once boarded, the drive to Buena Park typically involves taking the CA-55 North to the I-5 North or utilizing the CA-91 West. While this is a relatively short distance, traffic congestion in Orange County can be unpredictable. With a private bus rental, your group can utilize onboard WiFi to check emails or simply relax in air-conditioned comfort while your driver navigates the transition from Santa Ana to the vibrant Entertainment Corridor of Buena Park.
Conquering Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Logistics
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the primary gateway for international travelers and those seeking the widest variety of flight options. However, it is also one of the busiest airports in the world, and getting from LAX to Buena Park—a distance of roughly 30 miles—can take anywhere from 45 minutes to over two hours depending on the legendary Los Angeles traffic. Navigating the "horseshoe" terminal loop can be overwhelming for individual travelers, let alone a large group trying to stick together. This is why a private charter bus rental is essential for maintaining your sanity and schedule. We provide streamlined curbside or designated zone pickups depending on the current airport regulations, ensuring your group remains cohesive.
When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Buena Park, we handle the heavy lifting. Your driver will be intimately familiar with the traffic patterns of the I-105 and I-605 freeways, or the alternate routes needed to get you to your destination efficiently. Instead of splitting up into five or six different vehicles and hoping everyone arrives at the DoubleTree by Hilton (7000 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620) at the same time, your entire party rides together. You can use the travel time to debrief after a flight, distribute welcome packets for your event, or simply rest. We also handle the luggage; our full-size motorcoaches come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays that can easily accommodate the luggage requirements of long-haul travelers, sports teams with equipment, or musicians with instruments.
The Convenience of Long Beach Airport (LGB) for Local Groups
Often overlooked, Long Beach Airport (LGB) is a fantastic, stress-free alternative for domestic travelers heading to Buena Park. Located just about 12 miles away via the I-405 and I-605, LGB offers an open-air concourse and a retro, streamlined vibe that makes arrival and departure a breeze. It is particularly popular for corporate groups coming from Northern California or other Western states. Despite its smaller size, finding group transport on the fly can still be tricky. By reserving a minibus or sprinter van with Charter Bus Rental Company Buena Park in advance, you ensure that your transition from the tarmac to the bus is seamless.
Your driver will meet your group at the designated commercial vehicle loading zones, which are conveniently located just steps from the baggage claim area. Because the drive from Long Beach to Buena Park is shorter, this is an excellent option for groups on a tight schedule who want to maximize their time at attractions like The Source OC (6940 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90621) for shopping and dining, or for teams competing at local sports complexes. We can perfectly size your vehicle to your group, ensuring you aren't paying for empty seats while still providing ample room for carry-ons and personal items. Whether you are heading straight to a business meeting or dropping bags at the hotel before hitting Soak City, we provide the most efficient link between the coast and the inland entertainment district.
Utilizing Ontario International Airport (ONT) for Regional Access
For groups traveling from the Inland Empire or those finding better flight deals east of Los Angeles, Ontario International Airport (ONT) is a viable option, situated roughly 35 miles northeast of Buena Park. While the distance is comparable to LAX, the traffic dynamics on the CA-60 or I-10 can be different. Choosing ONT often allows groups to avoid the heart of Los Angeles congestion, but it still requires reliable transportation to bridge the gap to Orange County. Charter Bus Rental Company Buena Park frequently services this route, providing comfortable motorcoaches that turn a potentially long drive into a relaxing commute.
For large groups arriving at ONT, such as school bands performing at local theme parks or trade show attendees, our full-size charter buses are the ideal solution. These buses feature amenities that make the hour-long drive fly by, including onboard restrooms—a crucial feature for traveling with children or seniors—and power outlets to charge devices after a long flight. Your driver will handle the navigation through the convergence of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange Counties, delivering you directly to the lobby of hotels like the Hampton Inn & Suites (7555 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620). By consolidating your group into one vehicle, you reduce the carbon footprint of your travel and ensure that no one gets lost in the sprawl of Southern California's freeway system.
Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Airport Transfer
Selecting the correct vehicle for your airport transfer is vital to the comfort and budget of your trip. At Charter Bus Rental Company Buena Park, we offer a diverse fleet to meet specific needs. For small executive teams or VIP transfers involving 10 to 14 passengers, our Sprinter vans are the epitome of efficiency and luxury. They offer enough headroom to stand, comfortable seating, and adequate luggage space for a weekend trip. These are perfect for quick shuttles from John Wayne Airport to a board meeting or a dinner reservation at Porto's Bakery & Cafe (7640 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620).
For medium-sized groups, such as wedding parties or extended families ranging from 18 to 35 people, our minibuses are the industry standard. They provide the perfect balance of agility and capacity. They are easy to maneuver through the arrival loops of LAX or SNA but still offer amenities like PA systems for tour guides or group leaders to make announcements. For the largest groups— school field trips , sports teams with heavy gear, or large corporate conventions—our 56-passenger charter buses are the gold standard. These majestic vehicles feature cavernous undercarriage storage for weeks' worth of luggage, reclining seats, and panoramic windows. Regardless of the vehicle you choose, you receive the same high standard of comfort, cleanliness, and professional service.
Custom Itineraries: Beyond Just the Hotel Drop-off
One of the distinct advantages of booking with Charter Bus Rental Company Buena Park is the flexibility to customize your airport transfer. Unlike a hotel shuttle that runs on a fixed loop or a rideshare that goes point-to-point, your charter bus works for you. Perhaps your flight arrives early, and you want to stop for a famous California In-N-Out Burger on the way to the hotel. Maybe you need to swing by a grocery store to stock up on supplies for a week-long competition. Or, perhaps your group wants to take a quick detour to see the Honda Center or Angel Stadium before checking in. We can build these stops directly into your itinerary.
We understand that travel plans can be fluid. If you are organizing a corporate retreat, we can pick up your team from the airport and take them straight to a team-building event or a welcome lunch at Rock & Brews (7777 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620) before heading to the hotel. For destination weddings , we can coordinate multiple pickups if guests are arriving on different flights within a specific window, creating a shuttle loop that ensures everyone is gathered efficiently. Our reservation specialists are experts at logistics; we help you plan the route that makes the most sense for your schedule and budget, ensuring your time in Buena Park is spent enjoying the city, not worrying about how to get around.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buena Park Airport Transportation
How much luggage can we bring on a charter bus?
Luggage capacity depends on the vehicle type you rent. Full-size charter buses (56-passenger) have spacious undercarriage storage bays that can generally accommodate one standard suitcase and one carry-on per passenger. Minibuses (18- 35 passengers ) have more limited storage, typically utilizing rear compartments or overhead racks, which are best suited for carry-ons or light luggage. If your group is traveling with heavy equipment, such as sports gear or musical instruments, please let our reservation specialists know in advance so we can ensure you book a bus with sufficient capacity.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book your airport transfer with Charter Bus Rental Company Buena Park, we request your flight information so that we can track your arrival time in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we communicate directly with the driver to adjust the pickup time accordingly. While we strive to accommodate all delays, keeping us updated on major changes is always helpful to ensure the smoothest possible pickup.
Where will the bus pick us up at the airport?
Pickup locations vary by airport due to local regulations. Generally, charter buses and large shuttles are required to use designated Ground Transportation Centers or specific commercial vehicle loading zones, rather than the standard curbside passenger pickup areas. For example, at LAX, there are specific zones for private buses, while at SNA, pickups usually occur at the Ground Transportation Center across from the terminal. Your driver or our dispatch team will provide you with specific instructions and meeting points prior to your arrival.
Is the cost of the rental per person or per hour?
Our charter bus rentals are typically priced by the hour or by the day, rather than per person. This often makes renting a bus one of the most cost-effective options for large groups, as the price per passenger drops significantly as you fill the seats. Quotes are personalized based on your specific itinerary, the type of vehicle chosen, and the duration of the rental. Call us at 714-294-5802 for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your trip.
