A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Navigating Group Transfers to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
Los Angeles International Airport (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045), commonly known as LAX, is one of the busiest airports in the world and the primary gateway for international and domestic groups traveling to Downey. While it offers the most flight options, the "horseshoe" loop of terminals can be a logistical nightmare for uninitiated drivers. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Downey, you are hiring professionals who navigate the I-105 and Century Boulevard traffic daily. We take the stress out of the arrival and departure process.
For departures, your charter bus driver will drop your group off curbside at your specific terminal, allowing you to unload luggage and head straight to security without the long walk from economy parking lots. For arrivals, we carefully coordinate pickup zones. Due to strict LAX regulations, large motorcoaches may pick up in specific designated zones on the lower arrivals level. Your driver will communicate with your group lead to ensure a smooth rendezvous. Whether you are bringing a corporate team to the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Downey or heading straight to a meeting, our LAX shuttle service ensures you bypass the stress of the 405 freeway and relax in reclining seats with air conditioning after a long flight.
Seamless Shuttles to Long Beach Airport (LGB)
Located just about 10 miles south of Downey, Long Beach Airport (4100 Donald Douglas Dr, Long Beach, CA 90808) is a favorite for travelers who prefer a quieter, more streamlined experience compared to the bustle of LAX. However, even with its smaller size, coordinating ground transportation for a large group can be tricky. Public transit options from LGB to Downey often require multiple transfers, and taxi queues can be long. A private minibus or charter bus rental is the ultimate solution for groups arriving at this award-winning airport.
When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Downey, we provide door-to-door service from the terminal to your destination. Because LGB is so close to Downey via Lakewood Blvd or the I-405 N to I-605 N, it is an efficient option for domestic travelers. We can easily shuttle wedding parties arriving for a ceremony at the Rio Hondo Event Center or sports teams competing at local Downey high schools. The drivers are familiar with the airport’s layout and height restrictions, ensuring a smooth pickup process. With ample trunk space in our buses, your golf clubs, equipment bags, and suitcases are stored securely, leaving the aisles clear for you to stretch out and enjoy the short ride.
Connecting Downey Travelers to John Wayne Airport (SNA)
For groups traveling from Orange County or those looking to combine a trip to Downey with a visit to Disneyland, John Wayne Airport (18601 Airport Way, Santa Ana, CA 92707) is a fantastic option. Located roughly 25 miles southeast of Downey, SNA is known for its convenience and proximity to major business hubs. Charter Bus Rental Company Downey offers reliable transfer services between SNA and the Downey area, navigating the traffic on I-5 and SR-55 so you don’t have to.
This route is particularly popular for corporate groups attending conventions in Anaheim who are staying in Downey to avoid resort pricing, or for families planning a multi-leg vacation. Our charter buses come equipped with amenities that make the journey enjoyable. You can use the onboard WiFi to check emails or flight statuses, power outlets to charge your devices before you land, and comfortable seating to relax. We monitor flight schedules closely, so if your flight into SNA is delayed, we can adjust your pickup time accordingly. Your driver will meet you at the designated Ground Transportation Center, ready to whisk you away to Downey landmarks like the Columbia Memorial Space Center or your local accommodations.
Charter Bus Services to Ontario (ONT) and Burbank (BUR)
Sometimes, the best flight deals or the most convenient routes come through the region's other major airports: Ontario International Airport (2500 E Airport Dr, Ontario, CA 91761) and Hollywood Burbank Airport (2627 N Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA 91505). Charter Bus Rental Company Downey provides comprehensive coverage to these hubs as well. Burbank is an excellent choice for groups wanting to stay closer to Hollywood studios before heading to Downey, while Ontario is a major hub for cargo and logistics business travelers.
Traveling from Downey to Burbank involves navigating the I-5 corridor through downtown Los Angeles, a route notorious for traffic. By booking a private shuttle, your group can avoid the frustration of gridlock. Your driver handles the road while you enjoy a movie on the onboard TV monitors or chat with colleagues. Similarly, the trip to Ontario via the I-605 and I-10 can be lengthy during rush hour. A charter bus rental turns that commute into productive time or rest time. We provide reliable pickups and drop-offs at the group transportation islands at both airports, ensuring your group stays together and avoids the confusion of splitting into multiple rideshare vehicles.
The Perfect Fleet for Airport Transportation
At Charter Bus Rental Company Downey, we understand that group sizes and luggage needs vary. That is why we offer a diverse fleet of vehicles to suit your specific airport transfer requirements. For smaller groups, such as corporate executive teams or small families, our 18-passenger to 25-passenger minibuses are ideal. They offer a compact footprint for navigating busy airport terminals while still providing ample headroom and overhead storage for carry-ons.
For larger groups, such as school bands, sports teams, or large tour groups, our 56-passenger full-size charter buses are the gold standard. These motorcoaches feature massive undercarriage luggage bays capable of holding suitcases, sports gear, and musical instruments with ease. Inside, passengers enjoy high-back reclining seats, footrests, and personal climate control vents. No matter which vehicle you choose, cleanliness and safety are our top priorities. Every bus is maintained to ensure a smooth ride from the tarmac to your final destination in Downey. When you call us at 562-579-5905, our reservation specialists will help you determine exactly which bus size offers the perfect balance of passenger capacity and luggage space for your specific trip.
Corporate Airport Shuttles for Downey Businesses
Downey is home to a thriving business community, including major healthcare facilities like Kaiser Permanente and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, as well as a rich history in aerospace. For companies bringing in clients, partners, or remote employees for meetings and conferences, reliable airport transportation is a reflection of your professionalism. Charter Bus Rental Company Downey specializes in corporate shuttle services that impress.
We can arrange a meet-and-greet service for your VIPs at LAX or Long Beach, transporting them directly to the Downey Theatre for a presentation or to local headquarters. Our buses can be equipped with WiFi and power outlets, transforming the vehicle into a mobile office where your team can prepare for the presentation or debrief after a flight. We also offer recurring shuttle contracts for businesses that have frequent travelers. Instead of processing endless expense reports for taxis and mileage, streamline your travel budget with a consolidated charter bus account. We ensure your team arrives at the Embassy Suites Downey (8425 Firestone Blvd, Downey, CA 90241) or other local lodging refreshed and on time.
Custom Itineraries for Local Downey Hotels and Venues
One of the biggest advantages of renting a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Downey is the flexibility to create a custom itinerary. You aren't tied to a fixed shuttle schedule or a direct A-to-B route if you don't want to be. Perhaps your group lands at LAX at noon but check-in at the Days Inn by Wyndham Downey isn't until 3:00 PM. We can take your group for a lunch stop at the famous Portos Bakery & Cafe (8233 Firestone Blvd, Downey, CA 90241) or a quick tour of the world’s oldest operating McDonald’s on Lakewood Blvd.
We work with you to build a schedule that accommodates your flight times and your local plans. Whether you need a shuttle to drop guests off at the Stonewood Center for some shopping before heading to the airport, or you need a late-night pickup after a red-eye flight, we operate on your time. Our reservation agents are experts in the local geography and traffic patterns. We can advise on the best departure times to ensure you make your flight without stress, factoring in the notorious rush hour traffic on the Santa Ana Freeway. Your itinerary is our command.

Frequently Asked Questions About Downey Airport Transportation
Can the bus wait for us if our flight is delayed?
Yes, we monitor flight statuses for all airport pickups. When you book your reservation, we will ask for your flight number. This allows our dispatch team and your driver to track your arrival time in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the pickup time accordingly to ensure your driver is there when you land. We understand that air travel can be unpredictable, and we aim to be as flexible as possible to accommodate changes in your schedule.
How much luggage can fit on a charter bus?
A standard 56-passenger charter bus comes equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays that can typically hold one large suitcase and one carry-on bag per passenger. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for smaller personal items like backpacks, purses, and laptop bags. If you have a group with excessive luggage, such as a sports team with heavy equipment or a music group with instruments, please let our reservation specialist know when you call. We can recommend the best bus size or arrange for a larger vehicle to ensure everything fits comfortably.
Do you offer service to private aviation terminals?
Absolutely. Charter Bus Rental Company Downey provides transportation to Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) and private aviation terminals at all major airports in the region, including LAX, Van Nuys, Long Beach, and John Wayne. The drivers know the specific security and access protocols required for private aviation pickups. We can pull up tarmac-side where permitted or meet your group at the FBO lobby for a seamless and discreet transfer to your destination in Downey.
How far in advance should we book an airport shuttle?
We recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For trips during peak travel seasons (holidays, summer, and spring break), it is best to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. However, we understand that last-minute travel happens. Our team is available 24/7 at 562-579-5905, and we will always do our best to accommodate short-notice requests for airport transfers.
Can we make a stop in Downey before heading to the hotel?
Yes! Unlike shared ride shuttles or public transit, your charter bus rental is private and fully customizable. If you would like to stop for a meal, visit a local attraction like the Downey History Center, or pick up supplies before heading to your hotel, simply include these stops in your itinerary when booking. We are happy to accommodate multiple stops to make your trip as convenient and enjoyable as possible.
