Find and Compare Options From Providers Serving Berkeley
Choose the bus that actually fits your group — not whatever one company happens to have parked in its lot. That's the whole point of Concordcharterbuscompany.com. Instead of calling five East Bay operators during business hours, describing your trip five times, and waiting on five callbacks, you share your trip details once and review your options side by side.
Different vehicles. Different price points. Different amenities.
All on one screen.
The network covers everything from a 15-passenger minibus nimble enough to navigate Bancroft Way near the UC Berkeley main gate to a 56-passenger motorcoach with undercarriage luggage bays for a group heading across the Bay Bridge. You can compare a straightforward charter bus against a party bus with LED lighting and a built-in bar, weigh the prices, look at the photos, and choose. No pressure.
No account. No mystery.
And if the results page doesn't show the exact package you had in mind, a support team is available every day of the year at 510-780-3332 to put a custom package together for you. Long-distance runs, multi-day trips, recurring shuttle routes — whatever your group needs, it starts with one form and takes under 30 seconds to get your first look at pricing!
Finding the right bus for your Berkeley trip is easy when you can compare every service type in one place! From airport shuttles and concert runs to corporate shuttles, prom nights, and wine tours across the East Bay and beyond — the network has a bus for every occasion. Here's a look at what you can find and book right here!

In the East Bay, three airports serve your group — and each one has its own pickup rules your whole group needs to know before anyone lands. At Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport (OAK), charter bus pickup is at the lower-level arrivals curb in the commercial zone outside baggage claim. Do not send your group to the rideshare area — OAK places rideshare pickups on the 3rd Curb at sections 3C2 through 3C9, which is a completely different curb, and it's the single most common way a group ends up standing in the wrong place.
At San Francisco International Airport (SFO), pickup happens at the Level 1 Arrivals bus courtyards — Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 and 3, and Courtyards A and G for the International Terminal. The bus stages in the TCP area on N McDonnell Road until your whole group is curbside with every bag in hand. At San José Mineta International Airport (SJC), charter buses use Stop #11 at the Terminal B Ground Transportation Center — not Stop #12, which is for scheduled buses.

Let the celebration start before the first song! Whether your group is heading up the hill to the Greek Theatre (2001 Gayley Rd, Berkeley, CA 94720) for a summer amphitheater show, crossing the Bay for a night at the Fox Theater Oakland (1807 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA 94612) or the Paramount Theatre (2025 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94612), or heading into San Francisco for a major arena show at Chase Center — one bus keeps everyone together from the first pickup to the last drop-off.
The Greek Theatre sits in the Berkeley Hills on campus, and large-vehicle parking near the venue is limited. Your bus drops the group at the entrance and stages along the campus perimeter while you're inside, so nobody scrambles for a rideshare when the encore ends. For Chase Center shows in San Francisco, the SFMTA closes 16th Street and Warriors Way up to two hours before major events — your bus runs the open waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard instead and drops your group at the designated curb near the intersection of Terry A. Francois and 16th Street, steps from the entrance.
Compare concert bus options for Berkeley and the whole East Bay in seconds!

View instant online quotes for corporate shuttles, conference transfers, client visits, off-sites, and company dinners across Berkeley, Oakland, Emeryville, and San Francisco — all from one quick form. A 56-passenger motorcoach with WiFi and power outlets at every seat moves your whole team between the Emeryville waterfront and a Moscone Center conference without anyone fighting Bay Bridge traffic in a separate car. A 15-passenger minibus handles a smaller executive team shuttling between Downtown Berkeley and a client office in the Financial District.
The Bay Bridge westbound metering lights back up well before the toll plaza during the morning peak — add 25 to 45 minutes on early-departure days. One bus turns that dead commute time into a productive ride instead of a frustrating one. Compare available corporate bus types, amenities, and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Berkeley and the Bay Area in under 30 seconds!

With Concordcharterbuscompany.com, you'll find employee shuttle options sized to your company's actual headcount and schedule — not a one-size-fits-all route someone else designed. A daily commuter shuttle from Downtown Berkeley BART to an Emeryville office park cuts the parking reimbursement budget and gets your team in the door together. A weekly run between a Berkeley Hills campus and a South Bay satellite office turns a solo 90-minute drive into a shared ride with WiFi and reclining seats.
Need temporary transportation while your parking lot is under construction? Compare short-term shuttle options the same way you'd compare a long-term route. Just share your pickup points, timing, and passenger count, and the results page shows available vehicles and pricing from the network.
ADA-accessible buses are available too — mention it when you fill out the form. Call 510-780-3332 any time to set up a recurring corporate route!

With Concordcharterbuscompany.com, you get access to a network of transportation companies ready to handle government meetings, personnel moves, training events, and multi-day group travel across the East Bay and beyond — all from one quick form. Moving 20 people for a single afternoon meeting looks different from coordinating 200 people across a three-day training at a Contra Costa County facility. The network has minibuses for the smaller move and full-size motorcoaches with undercarriage storage and onboard restrooms for the larger one.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — just mention your requirements when you submit your trip details. No need to call multiple operators and compare quotes by hand. Fill out one form, compare available vehicles and pricing in seconds, and choose the bus that fits your agency's needs and budget!

With one form, you can compare full-size motorcoaches for long-distance runs from Berkeley to Sacramento, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and destinations across California and the West. A 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and large undercarriage luggage bays makes a 6-hour run to Los Angeles or a weekend trip to Las Vegas genuinely comfortable for your whole group. Instead of splitting 40 people across eight cars and coordinating a caravan on I-5, one bus keeps everyone together on one itinerary at one flat, predictable price.
Compare long-distance charter bus options from a network of transportation companies serving Berkeley and all of Northern California — and get pricing in under 30 seconds right online!

Got 30 seconds? That's all it takes to get pricing for a private event bus in Berkeley! Whether your group is celebrating a milestone birthday with a dinner in Napa, gathering family from across the Bay for a reunion at Tilden Regional Park (Wildcat Canyon Rd, Berkeley, CA 94708), or planning a progressive dinner through Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto neighborhood — one bus keeps everyone on the same itinerary without anyone getting lost or paying surge pricing between stops.
Compare minibuses for smaller gatherings and full-size charter buses for larger ones, side by side, with vehicle photos and transparent pricing from a network of independently owned companies. You set the stops, you set the timing, and you choose the bus that fits your group. Fill out the form or call 510-780-3332 to get started!

Call early — prom season across East Bay school districts fills up faster than almost any other time of year. Berkeley High School, Albany High School, Piedmont High School, and every other school in Alameda and Contra Costa County all schedule their dances during the same April and May window. Waiting until the last minute means higher prices and fewer vehicles to choose from — and the bus your group had in mind may already be gone. Concordcharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare party buses and minibuses for prom night, check available sizes and amenities, and lock in your date early.
A 15- to 50-passenger party bus comes with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium sound system, and flat-panel TVs — the celebration starts the moment everyone boards. Compare options and pricing right online, or call 510-780-3332 to hold your date before it's gone!

Keeping your congregation together — for a weekend retreat, a regional conference, weekly services, or a multi-day pilgrimage — is easy when one bus handles the logistics. Concordcharterbuscompany.com helps you compare minibuses for smaller groups and full-size motorcoaches when the whole congregation is coming along, all from one quick form. A 15-passenger minibus works beautifully for a small group heading to a retreat center in the North Bay. A 56-passenger motorcoach with an onboard restroom and undercarriage storage handles a larger group traveling to a multi-day conference in Sacramento or Los Angeles.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — just mention what you need when you submit your trip details. Compare religious group transportation options from a network of companies serving Berkeley and the Bay Area, and get pricing in under 30 seconds!

Look no further than Concordcharterbuscompany.com to find the right bus for your next Berkeley school field trip or campus event! A 56-passenger charter bus keeps an entire class together for a trip to the Lawrence Hall of Science (1 Centennial Dr, Berkeley, CA 94720), perched in the Berkeley Hills above campus — though the steep, winding approach on Centennial Drive makes a minibus the smarter call for upper-campus destinations. For a trip to the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) (2155 Center St, Berkeley, CA 94720), buses drop off on Center Street curbside, close to Downtown Berkeley BART.
Heading across the Bay? The Exploratorium at Pier 15 on The Embarcadero in San Francisco is a perennial East Bay field trip destination, with bus drop-off along The Embarcadero. ADA-accessible buses are available through the network.
Compare school bus options, minibuses, and full-size charter buses from a network of companies serving Berkeley — all in one place, with pricing in under 30 seconds!

Find the right bus for Cal game days, Warriors nights, Giants games, and team travel all in one place! Cal football Saturdays at California Memorial Stadium are the biggest demand days in the East Bay bus market — buses unload in the red zone at the bottom of the Haas Grand Staircase and pick up at the white loading zone at 2521 Bancroft Way at Telegraph after the game. The Big Game against Stanford in November is the single toughest date to find a vehicle all year — book six months out or more.
For Golden State Warriors games at Chase Center (1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158), your bus runs the open waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard to avoid the SFMTA event closures on 16th Street and Warriors Way, dropping your group at the designated curb near Terry A. Francois and 16th Street. Compare sporting event buses from a network of transportation companies serving Berkeley and the East Bay — fill out the form or call 510-780-3332!

Rather than wondering how every guest is getting from the hotel to the ceremony and back, a wedding shuttle bus handles it all in one clean itinerary. Concordcharterbuscompany.com helps you find buses for every leg of your Berkeley wedding weekend — hotel pickups along Shattuck Avenue, a ceremony at the Claremont Club & Spa (41 Tunnel Rd, Berkeley, CA 94705) in the Berkeley Hills, a reception in the Gourmet Ghetto, and late-night returns to the Hotel Shattuck Plaza (2086 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94704) or Graduate Berkeley (2600 Durant Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704). You can request available white, black, or silver vehicles to match your wedding colors. Compare minibuses for the wedding party and full-size charter buses when the whole guest list is coming along — side by side, with photos and transparent pricing.
Wedding season and Cal graduation weekends book out fast. Call 510-780-3332 early to hold your date!

Concordcharterbuscompany.com is an advertising and quote comparison website. It is not a local bus company, not a motor carrier, and not a transportation provider.

Transportation is provided by independent operators, and booking is completed through a national booking platform. No account is required, and a free quote is always available online or by phone at 510-780-3332.
Fill out the online quote tool — it takes about 30 seconds. Enter your pickup location, destination, date, trip times, and passenger count.

At OAK, charter bus drop-off is at the upper-level departures curb — right lanes for Terminal 1 (Alaska, Delta, Hawaiian, and others), left lanes for Terminal 2 (Southwest only). For pickup, your group meets the bus at the lower-level arrivals curb in the commercial zone outside baggage claim. Do not walk to the rideshare area — OAK places rideshare pickups on the 3rd Curb at sections 3C2 through 3C9, which is a completely different curb.
Have your whole group together with all luggage before calling for the bus, since California caps commercial vehicle idling at five minutes and the bus cannot wait at the curb while stragglers finish at baggage claim. OAK publishes an interactive terminal map at maps.iflyoak.com with the full curb layout — worth sharing with your group coordinator before the trip.
Pickup at SFO happens on the Level 1 Arrivals level at the bus courtyards: Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 and 3, Courtyard 4 for Terminal 3, and Courtyards A and G for the International Terminal. Your courtyard depends on which terminal your flight lands in — confirm it before you travel using the official SFO charter bus pickup and drop-off map at flysfo.com. The bus stages in the TCP (Transportation Charter Permit) area on N McDonnell Road until your whole group is curbside with every bag in hand.
For drop-off, domestic terminals use Level 2 Departures, Center Island Green and White Zone. Note that Level 3 Departures is restricted to vehicles seating 24 or fewer under 30 feet — a 56-passenger motorcoach cannot use it.
Per the UC Berkeley visitor bus loading and unloading zones at visit.berkeley.edu, groups unload in the red zone at the bottom of the Haas Grand Staircase at 2227 Piedmont Avenue. After the game, pickup is at the white loading zone at 2521 Bancroft Way at Telegraph Avenue. Keep in mind that Bancroft Way runs one-way westbound near campus, which makes a smaller minibus easier to maneuver in and out cleanly than a full-size 56-passenger coach.
Cal football Saturdays and the Big Game against Stanford in November are the highest-demand dates in the East Bay bus market — book at least four to six months out for those dates, and six months or more for the Big Game.
The SFMTA enforces mandatory road closures on 16th Street and Warriors Way between 3rd Street and Terry A. Francois Boulevard from two hours before until one hour after every major Chase Center event. Northbound 3rd Street between 16th Street and Warriors Way also closes 30 minutes before and 45 minutes after events, and a $13-per-hour event parking rate triggers at nearby street meters during that window. Instead of sitting in that gridlock, your bus runs the open waterfront on Terry A. Francois Boulevard and drops your group at the designated charter bus curb near the intersection of Terry A. Francois and 16th Street — steps from the arena entrance.
You can cross-reference active road closure details on the official SFMTA Chase Center Street Restrictions Map at sfmta.com before your event.
Yes, and they matter for choosing the right vehicle. The inner campus core does not allow bus access — drop-off and pickup happen at perimeter loading zones. The approach to the Lawrence Hall of Science via Centennial Drive is steep and winding, which makes a minibus the better call over a full-size 56-passenger coach for upper-campus destinations.
Bancroft Way near the main gate runs one-way westbound, which again favors a smaller vehicle for clean in-and-out movement. When you submit your quote, mention your destination on or near campus and the results will reflect vehicles that work for that specific approach.
The East Bay bus market has two peak stretches that book out early. Fall football season — Cal home Saturdays from September through November, especially the Big Game against Stanford — is the hardest window to find a vehicle. Spring brings Cal commencement (campuswide ceremony mid-May, with department graduations spanning roughly two weeks on either side) and prom season across East Bay school districts in April and May.
The Greek Theatre concert season runs June through October and pulls additional supply. For any of those dates, book four to six months out at minimum — six months or more for the Big Game and graduation weekend. The quietest windows for pricing and availability are typically January through early March, outside of major Bay Area conference weeks.
For most Berkeley trips, three to four months out gives you solid vehicle selection and competitive pricing. For high-demand dates — Cal football Saturdays, the Big Game against Stanford in November, Cal commencement in May, prom season in April and May, and summer Greek Theatre concerts — book six months out or more. The East Bay bus market moves fast on those dates, and waiting until the last minute means higher rates and fewer vehicles to choose from.
The earlier you lock in your date, the more options you'll have and the better the pricing. Call 510-780-3332 right now to hold your date — or fill out the online form in under 30 seconds to see what's available!
