A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Navigating Long Beach Airport (LGB) with a Group
Located just minutes from the heart of Lakewood, Long Beach Airport (LGB) is a favorite for locals due to its manageable size and proximity. However, even at smaller airports, coordinating ground transportation for a group of 20 or more can be difficult without a plan. Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood offers seamless pickup and drop-off services directly at the curbside of this historic airport. Because LGB has strict regulations regarding commercial vehicle dwell times, having a dedicated driver who knows the loop is essential.
When you book a private shuttle with us, your driver will monitor your flight status to ensure they are staged and ready the moment your group retrieves their bags. We can transport your group from LGB directly to local hotels like the Sheraton Cerritos or straight to business meetings at the Lakewood Center. Unlike rideshares that may not have the capacity for large luggage, our buses feature dedicated rear or undercarriage storage, ensuring every suitcase and carry-on fits comfortably. Whether you are arriving for a localized event or departing for a business trip, our LGB airport shuttles provide the quickest link between the tarmac and Lakewood.
Seamless Transfers to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the primary gateway for international and cross-country travelers heading to Lakewood. However, it is also one of the busiest airports in the world. The drive from Lakewood to LAX involves navigating the notorious I-405 traffic, which can be unpredictable. When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood, you eliminate the stress of driving in gridlock. Your dedicated driver handles the navigation, allowing your group to relax in reclining seats, charge devices, and use onboard WiFi to check emails or flight statuses.
LAX has specific zones for charter bus pickups to reduce congestion at the terminal curbs. The drivers are well-versed in these protocols, ensuring a smooth rendezvous. For large groups, such as sports teams or school bands flying in for competitions, a full-size charter bus is the only way to ensure everyone—and their equipment—arrives at the same time. We monitor traffic patterns in real-time to adjust departure times from Lakewood, ensuring you arrive at your terminal with plenty of time to clear security. Don't leave your LAX transfer to chance; trust the drivers who have been navigating these roads for over 15 years.
Connecting Lakewood to John Wayne Airport (SNA)
For groups traveling from the south or looking for an alternative to LAX, John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana is a fantastic option. Located roughly 20 miles southeast of Lakewood, SNA is a hub for business travelers and tourists visiting Orange County attractions like Disneyland. Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood provides efficient shuttle services down the I-605 and I-405 corridors to connect Lakewood residents and visitors to this bustling airport.
Our minibus rentals are particularly popular for transfers to SNA. These vehicles are agile enough to navigate the airport's arrival loops while still offering high ceilings and overhead storage for personal items. If you have VIP clients flying into SNA for a meeting in Lakewood, a sprinter van or executive minibus offers a polished, professional first impression. We can arrange for meet-and-greet services and coordinate multiple vehicles if your group is arriving on different flights. With Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood, the connection between Orange County and Lakewood is seamless and comfortable.
The Benefits of Private Airport Shuttles vs. Rideshares
When traveling with a group of 10 or more people, relying on rideshare apps like Uber or Lyft can quickly become a logistical nightmare and a financial burden. You often have to split the group into multiple vehicles, risking that one car gets lost or stuck in traffic, causing delays for everyone. Furthermore, surge pricing during peak travel times can cause costs to skyrocket unexpectedly. In contrast, a private charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood offers a fixed price with no additional fees, regardless of traffic conditions.
Beyond cost, the comfort factor is unmatched. Rideshare vehicles rarely have the luggage capacity to handle a group's suitcases, golf clubs, or equipment cases. Our charter buses come with massive undercarriage luggage bays that keep the cabin clutter-free. Your group can travel together, socialize, or conduct business briefings on the road. Comfort is also a priority; the drivers ensure a reliable experience, while rideshare quality can vary. For peace of mind, cohesive travel, and budget certainty, a private airport shuttle is the superior choice for Lakewood travelers.
Corporate Airport Transportation for Lakewood Businesses
Lakewood and the surrounding Long Beach area are home to a thriving business community, including aerospace, healthcare, and education sectors. For companies bringing in investors, partners, or remote employees, reliable ground transportation is a reflection of your business's professionalism. Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood specializes in corporate airport shuttles that run like clockwork. We can set up a recurring shuttle service for employees commuting between the airport and your headquarters, or a one-time transfer for a conference at the Long Beach Convention Center.
Our corporate buses are designed for productivity. With amenities like power outlets at every seat, tray tables, and fast WiFi, your team can turn travel time into work time. We can create a custom itinerary that includes stops at hotels, restaurants for client dinners, and the airport, ensuring a tight schedule is maintained. Impress your stakeholders with a private sprinter van or minibus that offers leather seating and a quiet, climate-controlled environment. We understand that in business, time is money, and our punctual service ensures not a minute is wasted.
Luggage Storage and Onboard Amenities for Flyers
One of the biggest concerns for groups traveling by air is luggage. Whether it is a sports team with heavy gear bags, a band with instruments, or a family reunion with weeks' worth of suitcases, standard vehicles simply cannot cope. Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood solves this problem with purpose-built vehicles. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches feature expansive undercarriage storage bays capable of holding luggage for every passenger on board. Inside the cabin, overhead bins provide easy access to carry-ons, backpacks, and personal items, keeping the aisle clear and safe.
Comfort is equally important after a long flight. Our buses feature plush, reclining seats with footrests, allowing passengers to nap or relax during the drive to or from Lakewood. Climate control is standard, ensuring you stay cool during the California summers. For longer transfers, onboard restrooms are available on full-size coaches, minimizing the need for stops. Entertainment options like flat-screen TVs and DVD players can keep children occupied or allow coaches to review game footage. When you book with us, you are booking a first-class ground travel experience.
Custom Flight Monitoring and Flexible Scheduling
Air travel is unpredictable. Flights get delayed, gates change, and baggage claim can take longer than expected. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood, you don't just get a vehicle; you get a dedicated support team. We utilize flight tracking technology to monitor your group's arrival time in real-time. If your flight into LAX, LGB, or SNA is delayed, we adjust the driver's schedule accordingly so they are there when you land—not when you were supposed to land.
We also understand that itineraries change. Maybe your group decides to grab a meal near the airport before heading to Lakewood, or perhaps you need to make an unscheduled stop at a grocery store to stock up for your trip. Our private bus rentals offer the flexibility that scheduled hotel shuttles cannot. You are in control of the schedule. Our 24/7 reservation team is always just a phone call away at 714-395-5240 to assist with last-minute updates or changes to your pickup instructions. We are committed to being the most flexible and reliable part of your travel plans.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lakewood Airport Transportation
How far in advance should I book my airport transfer to/from Lakewood?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your flight details are confirmed. For peak travel seasons (summer and holidays), booking 3 to 6 months in advance is ideal to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, Charter Bus Rental Company Lakewood can often accommodate last-minute requests. Call our 24/7 team at 714-395-5240 to check real-time availability for your dates.
Does the charter bus pick us up at the curb or a designated lot?
Pickup locations vary by airport and vehicle size. At Long Beach Airport (LGB), most pickups are curbside. At LAX, due to congestion, large charter buses may be required to use specific staging areas or the central terminal area depending on current regulations, while smaller vehicles might have curbside access. Your reservation specialist will provide specific instructions based on your airport and bus type to ensure a smooth rendezvous.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We understand that delays happen. When you book with us, we ask for your flight information so our dispatch team can track your arrival status. We generally include a grace period for wait time, and we will adjust the driver's arrival to match your new landing time whenever possible. Communication is key, so please keep us updated if you become aware of major changes to your itinerary.
Is there enough room for golf clubs or oversized sports equipment?
Absolutely. If you are traveling with bulky items like golf clubs for a trip to Lakewood Country Club or sports gear for a tournament, we recommend booking a full-size charter bus or a minibus with dedicated rear storage. When you call for your quote, let our reservation agent know exactly what equipment you are bringing so we can match you with the correct vehicle to accommodate both your passengers and your gear comfortably.
Can we make stops between the airport and our final destination in Lakewood?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of a private charter bus rental is flexibility. If you need to stop for food, supplies, or to drop off passengers at different hotels in Lakewood, simply let us know when booking. We build the itinerary around your needs. Unlike shared airport shuttles, your group is the priority, and we go where you need to go.
