We booked a yellow school bus for our class field trip to CuriOdyssey. The driver arrived 10 minutes early, communicated with us about parking at the museum, and helped the kids load/unload safely. This is a great option for local schools that need reliable transportation without breaking the budget. We would definitely use them again for future field trips!

A couple in San Mateo is planning a wedding with 80 guests at a venue in Half Moon Bay, and they want to provide a comfortable, reliable transportation solution to ensure everyone arrives on time and can enjoy the celebration without worrying about navigating Highway 92 or finding parking in the busy coastal town. To accommodate their guest list, they book two 40-passenger charter buses with Shuttlebus.net, one departing from a hotel in downtown San Mateo and the other from a nearby residential neighborhood. Both buses are scheduled to leave at 1:00 PM, allowing ample time for the 30-45 minute drive to the venue. The buses will remain on-site for the duration of the event and return guests to their original pickup locations at the end of the night. The total cost for both buses is $4,500.
Approximate travel time: 30-45 minutes
A local couple booked a 40-passenger charter bus to take their guests from San Mateo to Carmel Valley for their destination wedding. The bus picked up guests from a hotel on Airport Boulevard at 8:00 a.m. and drove them to the Carmel Valley Ranch for a noon ceremony and reception. After the reception, the bus returned everyone to San Mateo. Because this trip covers a long distance and includes several hours of waiting time, the quote was $2,700 for the day. The charter bus provided comfortable seating, air conditioning, and a restroom, making the long ride much more enjoyable for guests.
Estimated travel time: ~2 hours each way
When you need to get guests from San Mateo to a wedding venue in the Santa Cruz Mountains, renting a private charter bus makes travel easy. The Mountain Terrace at Woodside is a popular venue for Bay Area couples looking for a scenic, redwood forest setting. It’s located at 17285 Skyline Blvd, Woodside, CA 94062, about a 35-45 minute drive from downtown San Mateo. The route takes guests down Highway 92, up Skyline Boulevard, and through winding mountain roads that can be difficult and dangerous for guests to navigate on their own—especially after a few drinks at the reception. Instead, you can book a private charter bus to transport guests directly from San Mateo to the venue and back again at the end of the night. The price for this trip is $2,100.
Estimated Travel Time: ~35-45 minutes
