A few of the companies we’ve worked with
John Wayne Airport (SNA): The Orange County Favorite
For most groups traveling to or from La Habra, John Wayne Airport (18601 Airport Way, Santa Ana, CA 92707) is the most convenient option. Located approximately 20 miles south of La Habra via CA-57 S and I-5 S, SNA offers a more relaxed atmosphere than LAX but still services millions of passengers. However, "relaxed" doesn't mean traffic-free. The merge at the Orange Crush interchange can be a bottleneck, which is why a dedicated driver is essential.
When you book a charter bus or minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company La Habra, we handle the curb-side coordination. SNA has specific regulations for commercial vehicles. For arrivals, we track your flight to ensure we are there when you land. Your driver will meet your group at the Ground Transportation Center (GTC), located on the Arrival (lower) Level in the parking structures across from the Thomas F. Riley Terminal. This keeps your group away from the congestion of private passenger pickups. For departures, we drop you off right at the terminal curb on the Departure (upper) Level, ensuring you are steps away from check-in.
This airport is ideal for corporate groups heading to conventions in Anaheim or Irvine, or families visiting nearby theme parks. With a private shuttle, you avoid the high cost of long-term parking and the hassle of splitting up into multiple rideshares.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): The International Gateway
If your group is traveling internationally or looking for the widest variety of flight options, Los Angeles International Airport (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) is the likely choice. Located about 30 miles west of La Habra, the drive can take anywhere from 45 minutes to nearly two hours depending on traffic conditions on Imperial Highway and the I-105. Navigating the famous LAX "horseshoe" loop can be intimidating for the uninitiated, but the drivers are pros.
Charter Bus Rental Company La Habra takes the stress out of the LAX run. We utilize real-time traffic monitoring to choose the best route from La Habra, whether that’s taking the surface streets to avoid freeway gridlock or utilizing the carpool lanes. Upon arrival at LAX, charter buses are generally required to use specific zones for loading passengers to prevent congestion. Your driver will communicate directly with your group leader to coordinate the pickup at the designated commercial passenger loading zones, usually located on the Lower/Arrival Level islands in front of each terminal under the sign "Charter Buses."
For departures, we offer seamless curbside drop-off at your specific terminal. With the ongoing construction and the Automated People Mover project at LAX, having a dedicated driver who knows the current detours and loop configurations is invaluable. Don’t risk missing a flight because of parking structure capacity issues; let us drop you at the door.
Long Beach Airport (LGB): The Stress-Free Alternative
Often overlooked, Long Beach Airport (4100 Donald Douglas Dr, Long Beach, CA 90808) is a fantastic option for domestic travelers coming from La Habra. It is roughly 18 miles southwest and offers an open-air concourse that captures the Southern California vibe. Because it is a smaller airport with strict noise ordinances, flight slots are limited, but the ease of access is unmatched.
Our minibus and sprinter van rentals are perfect for transfers to LGB. The airport's layout is compact, meaning the walk from the bus drop-off to the security checkpoint is minimal—a huge benefit for senior groups or those with mobility issues. We can drop your group off directly in front of the historic terminal building. For pickups, the commercial vehicle lane is easily accessible, allowing your group to grab their bags and hop on the bus within minutes of landing. Whether you are heading to a cruise out of the Long Beach Cruise Terminal or a corporate retreat in downtown Long Beach, starting your trip at LGB with Charter Bus Rental Company La Habra sets a relaxed tone for the entire journey.
Ontario International Airport (ONT): The Inland Empire Hub
Situated about 25 miles east of La Habra via CA-60 E, Ontario International Airport (2900 E Airport Dr, Ontario, CA 91761) is a strong alternative to LAX for groups who want to avoid the heart of Los Angeles traffic. It is a full-service international airport that is rapidly growing in popularity for residents of North Orange County and the San Gabriel Valley.
When you charter a bus to ONT, you avoid the unpredictable traffic snarls of downtown LA. The drivers are familiar with the layout of Terminals 2 and 4, as well as the International Arrivals terminal. Commercial vehicles have designated zones, but they are generally very close to the baggage claim exits compared to larger airports. This makes ONT a favorite for sports teams traveling with heavy equipment or school groups with lots of luggage. We ensure there is ample undercarriage storage in your bus rental so that every passenger can stretch out in a reclining seat while their gear is stowed safely below.
Fullerton Municipal Airport (FUL): Private & Executive Travel
For executive teams, VIPs, or private charter groups, Fullerton Municipal Airport (4011 W Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton, CA 92833) is the closest general aviation airport to La Habra, located just 5 miles south. While it doesn't handle major commercial airlines, it is a hub for private jets and charters. If your corporate team is flying private to avoid the lines, Charter Bus Rental Company La Habra provides the "last mile" luxury you expect.
We can arrange for executive sprinter vans or luxury minibuses to meet your aircraft on the tarmac (where permitted by FBO regulations) or right outside the private aviation terminal. The drivers understand the discretion and punctuality required for high-level corporate travel. We can shuttle your executives from FUL directly to headquarters in La Habra, meetings in Brea, or hotels in Anaheim. This seamless transition from jet to bus ensures that not a moment of productivity is lost.
Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Airport Transfer
Selecting the right vehicle is crucial for a successful airport transfer. At Charter Bus Rental Company La Habra, we offer a diverse fleet to match your specific needs:
- Sprinter Vans (10-15 Passengers): Ideal for corporate teams or small families. These vans are agile, fit easily into standard loading zones, and offer a high-end feel.
- Minibuses (18-35 Passengers): Perfect for wedding parties, extended families, or small sports teams. They offer overhead storage for carry-ons and are easy to maneuver through airport loops.
- Full-Size Charter Buses (56 Passengers): The gold standard for large groups, such as school bands, large tour groups, or conventions. The key feature here is the massive undercarriage luggage bays, capable of holding a suitcase for every passenger onboard.
When booking, be sure to be honest about your luggage needs. A 25-passenger minibus is great for 25 people with backpacks, but if 25 people have check-in size suitcases and golf clubs, you will want to upgrade to a larger coach to ensure everything fits comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions About La Habra Airport Transportation
How much luggage can a charter bus hold?
Luggage capacity depends on the vehicle type. A full-size 56-passenger charter bus has large undercarriage bays that can typically hold one standard checked bag and one carry-on per passenger. Minibuses (18-35 passengers) have limited rear or overhead storage and are best for groups with light luggage. If you have a full minibus with heavy luggage, we recommend upgrading to a larger bus or booking a second vehicle to ensure passenger comfort. Always let your reservation specialist know your luggage count when booking.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We understand that air travel is unpredictable. When you book an airport pickup with Charter Bus Rental Company La Habra, we ask for your flight information so we can track your arrival status in real-time. We allow for a grace period for landing and baggage claim. If your flight is significantly delayed, please contact our 24/7 dispatch team as soon as possible so we can adjust the driver's schedule to ensure they are there when you arrive.
Can the bus pick us up at our house in La Habra?
Yes! We provide door-to-door service. We can pick your group up at a private residence, a local hotel (like the Best Western or Days Inn), a school, a church, or a corporate office in La Habra. However, keep in mind that full-size charter buses are large vehicles. If your residential street is very narrow or has low-hanging trees, we may coordinate a safe, nearby meeting point (like a shopping center parking lot) to ensure the bus can load passengers comfortably.
How far in advance should I book my airport shuttle?
We recommend booking as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For peak travel times (summer, holidays, and spring break), we suggest booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and the best pricing. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests depending on fleet availability. Call us 24/7 to check current availability for your dates.
