A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Navigating LAX with a Private Charter Bus
Los Angeles International Airport (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) is one of the busiest travel hubs in the world. For groups traveling to Whittier, LAX is often the primary point of entry due to its massive volume of domestic and international flights. However, navigating the "Horseshoe"—the two-level loop of terminals—can be daunting for the uninitiated. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Whittier, you bypass the confusion. We are experts in LAX ground transportation logistics.
Unlike personal vehicles that must hunt for parking in expensive central structures, your charter bus driver will monitor your flight status in real-time. Upon landing, your group can gather your baggage and proceed to the designated commercial vehicle pickup zones located on the Lower/Arrivals Level. Because regulations at LAX are strict regarding dwell times at the curb, coordination is key. Your driver will communicate directly with your group leader to ensure the bus pulls up exactly when you are ready to board. This seamless coordination means you spend less time breathing in exhaust fumes at the curb and more time relaxing in a climate-controlled cabin as we navigate the 105 and 605 freeways back to Whittier. Whether you are a corporate group arriving for a conference at the DoubleTree by Hilton Whittier or a student group heading to Whittier College, we handle the traffic so you don't have to.
Stress-Free Transfers to Long Beach Airport (LGB)
For many travelers heading to Whittier, Long Beach Airport (4100 Donald Douglas Dr, Long Beach, CA 90808) is a preferred alternative to the chaos of LAX. Located just about 20 miles south of Whittier, LGB offers a relaxed, open-air concourse experience. However, even at smaller airports, group transport requires planning. Charter Bus Rental Company Whittier provides efficient shuttle services that connect you directly from the tarmac to your final destination in Whittier.
The charm of Long Beach Airport is its size, but that also means curbside space is at a premium. A private charter bus rental eliminates the scramble for curb space. We can arrange for a sprinter van or minibus to meet your party right outside the baggage claim area. Because LGB is a hub for domestic carriers like Southwest and JetBlue, it is a popular choice for wedding parties and family reunions flying in from across the Western United States. Instead of splitting your group into five or six different rideshare vehicles—and hoping everyone arrives at the hotel at the same time—load everyone onto a single, comfortable bus. You can start the celebration early with onboard music and plenty of legroom as we make the quick drive up Lakewood Boulevard toward Whittier.
Connections to John Wayne (SNA) and Ontario (ONT)
Charter Bus Rental Company Whittier isn't limited to just the immediate Los Angeles area. We proudly serve groups flying into John Wayne Airport (18601 Airport Way, Santa Ana, CA 92707) in Orange County and Ontario International Airport (2500 E Airport Dr, Ontario, CA 91761) in the Inland Empire. Depending on your flight origin and airline, these airports might be the most convenient option for your trip to Whittier.
Traveling from John Wayne Airport involves navigating the 405 and the 5 freeways, routes notorious for their unpredictability. When you rent a charter bus, you have a driver behind the wheel who knows the traffic patterns inside and out. We can whisk your corporate executives from SNA to a meeting in Uptown Whittier without them missing a beat of productivity. Similarly, Ontario International Airport is a fantastic option for groups looking to avoid the coastal congestion. A charter bus rental from ONT allows for a straightforward drive west on the 60 freeway. No matter which runway you touch down on, Charter Bus Rental Company Whittier ensures that a premium vehicle is waiting to transport you to your final destination with safety and style.
The Benefits of Private Airport Shuttles for Large Groups
Why choose a private charter bus over hotel shuttles or public transit? The answer is control and capacity. Public transportation options from major airports to Whittier can be disjointed, often requiring multiple transfers between buses and light rail, which is a nightmare when managing luggage for a group of 30 or more. Hotel shuttles often operate on a fixed loop, meaning you are subject to their timetable and may have to share space with strangers.
With Charter Bus Rental Company Whittier, the bus is exclusively yours. We operate on your schedule. If your flight lands at 2:00 AM, we are there. If you need to stop for food at In-N-Out Burger on the way to the hotel, we can make that happen. Furthermore, the luggage capacity of a full-size charter bus is unmatched. With massive undercarriage storage bays, we can easily accommodate suitcases, sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show materials. This leaves the cabin clutter-free, allowing your passengers to stretch out and decompress after a cramped flight. We take the "tetris" game out of packing the trunk; simply hand your bags to the driver, step aboard, and relax.
Amenities to Relax After Your Flight
Air travel can be exhausting. Between the security lines, the cramped economy seats, and the turbulence, your group deserves a higher standard of comfort once they hit the ground. When you book an airport transfer with Charter Bus Rental Company Whittier, you are upgrading your travel experience. Our modern fleet is equipped with amenities designed to help you recharge.
Step out of the California heat and into a bus with powerful, climate-controlled air conditioning. Sink into plush, reclining seats with footrests, providing a level of comfort you likely didn't get on the plane. Need to check emails or let family know you've landed? Many of our buses come equipped with fast WiFi and power outlets at every seat, keeping your devices charged and connected. For longer transfers, or if you encounter unexpected LA traffic, onboard entertainment systems with flat-screen TVs and DVD players can keep the group entertained. On our full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches, you even have the convenience of an onboard restroom, reducing the need for pit stops. When you call 562-579-5905, be sure to ask our reservation specialists about the specific amenities available for your trip.
Custom Itineraries from the Airport to Whittier Hotels
Your journey doesn't end at the airport curb; it ends where you need to be. Charter Bus Rental Company Whittier specializes in point-to-point transportation throughout the city. We frequently transport groups to top local accommodations such as the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Los Angeles - Norwalk, the Vagabond Inn, or the Lambert Inn. But we don't just go to hotels.
Perhaps your group wants to head straight to a welcome dinner at a restaurant in Historic Uptown Whittier, or maybe you need to drop off students directly at the Whittier College campus (13406 E Philadelphia St, Whittier, CA 90608). We can accommodate complex itineraries with ease. If you are a sports team traveling for a tournament, we can take you straight from LAX to the fields at Pioneer High School or York Field. If you are a touring music group, we can transport you and your gear to the Ruth B. Shannon Center for the Performing Arts. We provide a level of customization that rideshare apps simply cannot match. You tell us the destination, and we map the most efficient route.

Frequently Asked Questions About Long Beach Airport Transportation
How much luggage can we bring on a charter bus?
One of the biggest advantages of renting a full-size charter bus is the ample storage space. A standard 56-passenger motorcoach typically features large undercarriage luggage bays that can accommodate one large suitcase per passenger, along with overhead bins inside the cabin for personal items like backpacks and laptop bags. If you are renting a minibus or sprinter van, storage space may be more limited, usually accommodating a carry-on and a personal item per rider. If your group has excessive luggage, equipment (like musical instruments or sports gear), or trade show displays, please let our reservation specialists know when you call 562-579-5905 so we can ensure you are matched with the correct vehicle size.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We understand that flight delays are a common part of travel. When you book your airport transfer with Charter Bus Rental Company Whittier, we ask for your flight information so our dispatch team can track your arrival status in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the driver's schedule to ensure they are waiting for you when you land. We include a grace period in our airport pickups to account for the time it takes to deplane and collect baggage. We recommend keeping in touch with our 24/7 dispatch team if you become aware of significant changes to your itinerary.
Where will the bus pick us up at the airport?
Pickup locations vary depending on the specific airport regulations. At Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), charter buses are generally required to pick up passengers at designated commercial vehicle holding lots or specific zones on the Lower/Arrivals level, often indicated by color-coded signs (usually green or white zones). At smaller airports like Long Beach (LGB) or John Wayne (SNA), there are specific ground transportation centers located just outside baggage claim. Once you book, we will provide you with specific instructions for your arrival terminal, and your driver will be in communication with your group leader to coordinate the exact meeting point.
Can we drink alcohol on the bus after our flight?
Policies regarding alcohol consumption vary by vehicle and provider. In many cases, if everyone on board is over the age of 21, alcohol is permitted, provided a refundable damage deposit is paid in advance. However, for standard airport transfers, many groups prefer to wait until they reach their destination. If you intend to bring beverages on board, please discuss this with your reservation agent at the time of booking so we can ensure you are paired with a bus that permits it. Please note that glass bottles are generally discouraged for safety reasons, and the driver reserves the right to terminate the ride if behavior becomes unruly.
How far in advance should we book our airport shuttle?
To ensure availability and the best possible pricing , we recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as your flight details are confirmed. For peak travel seasons, holidays, and large conventions, we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. However, we understand that last-minute trips happen. Our team is available 24/7/365 to assist with short-notice requests. Call us at 562-579-5905, and we will do our absolute best to accommodate your group, even if your trip is just around the corner.
