Downey Airport Shuttles at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

downey airport shuttles at los angeles international airport lax

Charterbusdowney.com will help your group breeze through transfers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) without fighting Century Boulevard traffic or paying steep daily garage rates! Located about 20 miles west of Downey via I-105 West, LAX enforces strict rules against curbside idling, so your driver will wait at the LAX Cell Phone Waiting Lot at 9000 Airport Blvd until your whole group has claimed their bags. For departures, your charter bus can drop passengers off right along the Upper/Departures Level curb at Terminals 1 through 7 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B). For arrivals, charter buses coordinate pickups at designated Lower/Arrivals Level outer island zones—or if you're using an off-site hotel or parking shuttle, at the LAX Economy Parking and LAX-it hubs. Even if a flight gets delayed or bumped at the last minute, we offer flexible scheduling and same-day bus rentals so nobody gets stranded at the curb. Just gather your bags, text your driver, and hop aboard your air-conditioned shuttle together!

Downey Shuttle Service for Airport Employees

downey shuttle service for airport employees

Instead of making airline crews, TSA staff, and ground operations teams battle rush-hour gridlock on I-5, I-710, and the Glenn Anderson Freeway (I-105) solo, set up a recurring Downey employee shuttle service! We work with aviation employers and corporate offices near Downey Landing and Lakewood Boulevard to build custom daily, monthly, or year-round commuter routes straight to LAX, Long Beach Airport, and off-site employee parking lots like the LAX Skyview Center. Your staff can unwind in reclining seats, check shift schedules on onboard WiFi, and plug into individual power outlets while a driver handles the freeway merges. Need split-shift rotations at 4 a.m. or multiple 35-passenger minibuses running hourly loops from the Lakewood Blvd Metro C Line (Green) Station at 12801 Lakewood Blvd? Call the 365-day support team at (213) 354-7131 to put together a custom contract package so your team arrives on time, relaxed, and ready to work!

Custom Ground Transportation for Regional Downey Flights

downey custom ground transportation for regional downey flights

Ready to compare group transportation services for regional airports around Southern California? Many groups flying into the Downey area skip LAX altogether for Long Beach Airport (LGB) just 12 miles south down I-605, where your bus can stage at the Cell Phone Waiting Lot at 3995 N Lakewood Blvd before pulling up to the designated commercial loading curb across from the Historic Terminal at 4100 Donald Douglas Dr. If your group is flying through John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County, charter buses load and unload on the Arrivals Level between Terminals B and C near the Statue of Duke, while FBO private charters at Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) or Ontario International Airport (ONT) enjoy direct tarmac or ground-level curb coordination. One local company might not have a bus open for an early morning regional arrival, which is why our statewide network is a total game-changer! You can book a quick one-way transfer, a round-trip package, or call (213) 354-7131 for below-minimum hourly phone deals. Share your flight numbers once, compare quotes in under 30 seconds, and let your driver navigate the 605 and 405 freeways for you!

Private Tour Buses for Long Layovers in Downey

downey private tour buses for long layovers in downey

Getting stuck with an eight-hour layover between flights doesn't mean your group has to sit on uncomfortable terminal chairs all afternoon!

Hungry for a piece of Southern California history? Have your minibus pull up along Florence Avenue near Lakewood Boulevard so your group can snap photos at the iconic Oldest Operating McDonald's at 10207 Lakewood Blvd, or drop everyone off at the pedestrian plaza at The Promenade at Downey for a sit-down group lunch before cruising back to the airport with plenty of time to clear security!

How do I meet my charter bus driver at LAX or Long Beach Airport?

Because Southern California airports strictly prohibit commercial buses from idling at the terminal curb, your driver will wait in the airport's designated cell phone lot or commercial holding area until your group lands. Once everyone has grabbed their luggage from baggage claim and gathered together, simply call or text your driver to roll up to your terminal's outer charter bus zone. After you book on our national booking platform, our confirmation department will call you to verify your exact terminal, airline, and pickup spot. That way, your whole group walks right out the doors and boards in under five minutes!

How much luggage can we bring on an airport shuttle bus?

It depends on the bus you choose, and you can compare all your options in one search! A full-size 56-passenger charter bus features huge undercarriage luggage bays that hold one large suitcase per passenger plus overhead racks inside for carry-ons, while 15- to 35-passenger minibuses and sprinter vans offer rear storage or overhead bins for lighter bags. If your group is traveling with bulky golf clubs, trade show booths, or band gear, mention it when calling (213) 354-7131 so we can match you with a vehicle that has extra storage space!

How much does a Downey airport shuttle rental cost?

Your Downey charter bus price depends on the vehicle size you pick, whether you need a quick one-way transfer or a multi-stop hourly package, and the time of year you're flying. You can fill out one quick form right now to see live buses, photos, and exact pricing in under 30 seconds—with no account needed and a copy sent to your text and email!
