palo alto airport transportation Easy Airport Shuttle Bus Rentals in Palo Alto
We know airport logistics on the Peninsula can get complicated fast — three major airports, three different sets of pickup rules, and Bay Area traffic that can turn a 20-minute drive into an hour. Mountainviewcharterbuscompany.com makes finding airport transportation simple. Fill out one form and compare minibuses, charter buses, and sprinter vans for runs to Mineta San José International Airport (SJC), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and Oakland International Airport (OAK).
At SJC, charter buses pick up directlyTerminal A Ground Transportation Center, Stop #4, and directlyTerminal B, charter buses use Stop #11 in the middle island — not Stop #12, which is for scheduled buses. At SFO, domestic charter bus pickup happens at Level 1 Arrivals courtyards (Courtyard 1 for Terminal 1, Courtyard 3 for Terminals 2 & 3). One important tip: gather your entire group and all luggage before calling for pickup — the bus stages off the active curb and pulls forward once everyone is ready.
Build 30–45 minutes after wheels down for international arrivals at SFO to clear customs and immigration before calling the bus forward.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is about 25 miles north via US-101 N — 30 to 45 minutes off-peak, longer during morning rush.

Charter buses drop off passengers on Centennial Blvd at Levi's Stadium. Bus parking is in Lot D, off Tasman Drive, and must be reserved in advance through the 49ers or the Ticketmaster parking portal — day-of bus parking is not guaranteed. Rideshare pickup is in a separate designated zone.
Check the official Levi's Stadium transportation and parking page before your visit to confirm current lot assignments, since they can vary by event.
At Shoreline Amphitheatre, bus drop-off is on Amphitheatre Pkwy, and Parking Lot 1 is the designated coach and bus area — advance permits are required through Live Nation or the venue.
