Flying Into SFO or SJC? Santa Cruz Airport Shuttle Service Has You Covered
Check your itinerary: if your group is landing at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) (San Francisco, CA 94128) or Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) (1701 Airport Blvd, San José, CA 95110), renting a private charter bus or minibus is a convenient way to bring your group down to Santa Cruz together. The drive from SFO to downtown Santa Cruz typically runs 75 to 90 minutes via Highway 17 or Highway 1, depending on Bay Area traffic. From SJC, expect 45 to 60 minutes.
Charter-bus pickups and drop-offs at San Francisco International Airport charter pickups are in the courtyards on the Arrivals/Baggage Claim Level. Instead of splitting your group across multiple rideshares or waiting in a shared shuttle queue, rent a private airport transportation shuttle so everyone can ride together on your schedule with your luggage accounted for. Call 831-888-8620 to request your date!
Monterey Regional Airport Transfers to and from Santa Cruz Are Just as Easy

For groups arriving here and heading to Santa Cruz for a conference, a corporate retreat at Chaminade Resort & Spa (1 Chaminade Ln, Santa Cruz, CA 95065), or a family vacation near Natural Bridges State Beach, a minibus rental makes the scenic coastal transfer smooth and stress-free.
At MRY, terminal curbside pickup is limited to three minutes, and dedicated spaces are marked for shuttles, so groups can plan their arrival around a quick curbside handoff. Monterey Regional Airport's curbside rules also direct longer waits to the short-term lot. No surge pricing.

Most Santa Cruz airport transportation runs to and from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Mineta San José International Airport (SJC), and Monterey Regional Airport (MRY). SJC is typically the closest major airport to Santa Cruz at roughly 35 to 45 miles via Highway 17. SFO is about 75 miles north.
MRY sits approximately 45 miles south along the coast. Your Santacruzcharterbuscompany.com agent can help you plan the most efficient route for your group!
The drive from Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) to downtown Santa Cruz typically takes 45 to 60 minutes via Highway 17, depending on traffic. Highway 17 is a mountain highway with winding terrain, so build in time when planning your group's arrival. Morning rush hour and weekend beach traffic can extend that window, so building in a 15-minute buffer is always a smart move when coordinating your group's pickup!
Yes, charter bus rentals in the Santacruzcharterbuscompany.com network can include trips on Highway 17, one of the most heavily traveled mountain corridors in the Bay Area. The route has steep grades and sharp curves, so full-size motorcoaches operate at reduced speeds through the Santa Cruz Mountains. Your group can stay together for the ride.
For very large vehicles, Highway 1 along the coast from Half Moon Bay is an alternative flat route!
Booking two to three months in advance is strongly recommended for the best vehicle selection and pricing. Santa Cruz sees heavy travel demand during summer beach season (June through August), holiday weekends, and during major events like the Santa Cruz County Fair each September. If your group is arriving during one of these peak windows, booking even earlier is advised.
Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, call 831-888-8620 and a live agent will check availability for your date!
