Traveling in and out of the Inland Empire with a group requires precision, reliability, and a deep understanding of the local landscape.

At Charter Bus Chino, we specialize in removing that stress. We provide seamless, private airport transfer services that connect Chino to the major aviation hubs of Southern California. From the local general aviation convenience of Chino Airport (CNO) to the international bustle of LAX and the regional ease of Ontario International (ONT), our fleet is ready to serve you.

When you book with Charter Bus Chino, you aren't just renting a vehicle; you are partnering with a team that understands the nuances of California traffic, terminal layouts, and group logistics. We have spent over a decade refining our airport shuttle services to ensure your group arrives together, on time, and in total comfort. Forget about coordinating a convoy of rideshares or dragging luggage onto public transit. With a private charter bus, your trip begins the moment you step out your front door or leave the baggage claim. Read on to discover how we handle pickups and drop-offs at every major airport serving the Chino Valley.

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Navigating Chino Airport (CNO) with a Private Shuttle

Located right in our backyard at 7000 Merrill Ave, Chino, CA 91710, Chino Airport (CNO) is a hub for general aviation, private corporate flights, and aviation history enthusiasts. While it doesn't host major commercial airlines like Delta or Southwest, it is a critical entry point for executives flying via private jet or groups visiting the renowned air museums located on the grounds. If your corporate team is flying into CNO via a chartered flight, Charter Bus Chino provides discreet, executive-level transportation directly from the tarmac or the fixed-base operator (FBO) to your final destination.

For educational groups and history buffs, CNO is home to two world-class museums: the Planes of Fame Air Museum (14998 Cal Aero Dr, Chino, CA 91710) and the Yanks Air Museum (15121 Stearman Dr, Chino, CA 91710). We frequently organize field trip transportation for schools throughout the Chino Valley Unified School District to these locations. When you book a charter bus for a visit to Chino Airport, you don't have to worry about parking multiple vehicles in the museum lots. We drop your group off right at the hangar doors. Whether you are arriving on a private charter for business meetings at the Chino Commerce Center or visiting the airport for an air show, the drivers know exactly where to stage and load to keep your itinerary moving smoothly.

Stress-Free Transfers to Ontario International Airport (ONT)

Ontario International Airport (ONT), located at 2500 E Airport Dr, Ontario, CA 91761, is the most convenient commercial airport for Chino residents and visitors. Situated just about 10 miles northeast of Chino, ONT is a favorite for locals wanting to avoid the chaos of Los Angeles. However, even with its proximity, coordinating ground transportation for a large group can be tricky. Traffic on the Pomona Freeway (SR-60) or Euclid Avenue can be unpredictable, and parking multiple cars in the airport lots can get expensive quickly. Charter Bus Chino offers a direct solution with our private airport shuttle bus rentals.

When you fly into ONT, navigating the pickup zones at Terminal 2 or Terminal 4 can be confusing for first-time visitors. The drivers are well-versed in ONT’s ground transportation protocols. We track your flight status in real-time to ensure we are there when you land, regardless of delays. We will coordinate a specific curbside pickup zone on the inner lanes designated for buses and shuttles, ensuring your group can load luggage and board comfortably without rushing. For departures, we provide door-to-door service from your hotel or office in Chino directly to the airline check-in curb. Whether you are staying at the Ayres Hotel Chino Hills or heading straight to a convention at the Ontario Convention Center, we bridge the gap with efficiency and comfort.

Group Transportation to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

Sometimes, your travel plans require the international connectivity of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Located approximately 50 miles west of Chino, getting a group to LAX involves navigating some of the most notorious traffic corridors in the country, including the SR-60, I-10, and the I-405. The drive can take anywhere from an hour to two hours depending on the time of day. Attempting to coordinate a caravan of cars or relying on rideshares for a long-distance trip like this often results in separated groups, missed flights, and exorbitant surge pricing. Charter Bus Chino eliminates these variables with a single, comfortable vehicle for your entire party.

Our LAX airport transfer service is designed to be the ultimate stress reliever. Your driver handles the aggressive freeway traffic while you and your group relax in reclining seats, enjoying air conditioning and onboard WiFi. We serve all terminals at the World Way loop. Because LAX has strict regulations regarding charter bus staging, our dispatch team communicates directly with your group leader to time the pickup perfectly once you have retrieved your bags. Instead of hauling luggage to a remote "Ride App" lot, your charter bus can access designated commercial pickup areas on the lower arrivals level (depending on current airport construction and regulations). We make the long haul from Chino to the coast feel like a breeze.

Connecting Chino to John Wayne Airport (SNA) and Long Beach (LGB)

For groups heading to Disneyland, Orange County beaches, or specific business hubs, John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana and Long Beach Airport (LGB) are excellent alternatives. Located roughly 30 to 40 miles from Chino, these airports offer a more relaxed atmosphere than LAX but still require reliable ground transportation to get you back to the Inland Empire. Charter Bus Chino frequently services routes via the Chino Valley Freeway (SR-71) and the Riverside Freeway (SR-91) to connect groups to these regional hubs. Whether you are a wedding party flying into SNA for a ceremony at the Vellano Estate in Chino Hills or a sports team arriving at LGB for a tournament at the SilverLakes Equestrian and Sports Park, we have the right bus for you.

John Wayne Airport has a centralized Ground Transportation Center where charter buses can easily load passengers. Long Beach Airport is known for its open-air concourse and easy access, making it a favorite for quick trips. Regardless of which airstrip you choose, the drivers will be waiting. We can arrange for a minibus rental for smaller family groups or a full-size motorcoach for large corporate teams. Our goal is to ensure that the transition from air to road is seamless, allowing you to enjoy the scenic drive through Santa Ana Canyon or up the I-15 without worrying about navigation or toll roads.

Why Choose Charter Bus Chino for Airport Transfers?

Choosing Charter Bus Chino for your airport transportation means choosing peace of mind. We aren't just a booking platform; we are your local partners in travel. We understand that air travel is often subject to schedule changes, delays, and unexpected hurdles. Our 24/7 reservation and support team is always on standby to adjust itineraries as needed. If your flight into Ontario is delayed by two hours, we adjust the driver's schedule. If your group size changes last minute for a trip to LAX, we work to find a vehicle that fits your new headcount. We prioritize communication and reliability above all else.

Furthermore, comfort is our non-negotiable top priority. The drivers are familiar with driving heavy vehicles through Southern California traffic. When you are transporting students, employees, or family members, you need to know they are in reliable hands. From the moment you call 951-618-7440 to the moment you step off the bus at your final destination, we are dedicated to providing a superior travel experience.

Luggage Storage and Comfort on Your Ride

One of the biggest challenges of traveling to the airport with a group is luggage. Standard rideshares and personal vehicles simply don't have the trunk space to accommodate suitcases for 15, 30, or 50 people. This often leads to passengers sitting with bags on their laps or having to book extra vehicles just for cargo. With a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Chino, luggage is never an issue. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage storage bays that can easily hold weeks' worth of luggage, sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show materials. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks provide convenient space for carry-ons, backpacks, and personal items.

Beyond storage, the comfort of a charter bus is unmatched. After a long, cramped flight, the last thing you want is to be squeezed into a small back seat. Our buses offer plush, reclining seats with ample legroom, allowing passengers to stretch out and relax. Climate control is essential in the Chino heat, and our buses are equipped with powerful A/C systems to keep the cabin cool and comfortable. Many of our buses also feature power outlets and USB ports, so you can recharge your devices before reaching your hotel or meeting. You can even request a bus with onboard restrooms to minimize stops on the way to further destinations like LAX or San Diego.

Custom Itineraries: From Tarmac to Chino Destinations

Your trip doesn't end at the airport curb, and neither does our service. Charter Bus Chino specializes in creating custom itineraries that take you directly from the airport to wherever you need to go in the Chino Valley and beyond. Are you a corporate group arriving at ONT? We can shuttle you directly to the Hampton Inn & Suites Chino (3150 Chino Ave, Chino Hills, CA 91709) to freshen up, and then take you to a dinner reservation at The Shoppes at Chino Hills (13920 City Center Dr, Chino Hills, CA 91709). Are you a sports team flying into LAX? We will drive you straight to the fields at Prado Regional Park (16700 S Euclid Ave, Chino, CA 91708).

We can also facilitate multi-stop trips. Perhaps you need to pick up a portion of your group at Ontario Airport and another portion at a local office before heading to a conference in Anaheim. Or maybe you want to take a sightseeing detour to Chino Hills State Park before checking into your hotel. Unlike fixed-route airport shuttles, a private charter bus works on your schedule. You tell us where and when, and we make it happen. This flexibility is perfect for wedding parties needing transport between hotels and venues like the Los Serranos Country Club, or for church groups heading to a retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chino Airport Transportation

Can a charter bus pick us up curbside at ONT or LAX?

Yes, charter buses can perform curbside pickups at Ontario International Airport (ONT) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), but there are specific regulations. At ONT, buses typically use the inner lanes designated for commercial vehicles. At LAX, pickup locations can vary based on current construction and traffic levels; typically, buses pick up at designated pillars on the lower arrivals level. Your driver will communicate with your group lead upon landing to coordinate the exact meeting point. We monitor flight statuses to ensure we are there when you are ready.

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

Luggage capacity depends on the type of bus you rent. A full-size 56-passenger charter bus has huge undercarriage bays that can typically accommodate one large suitcase per passenger, plus overhead bins for carry-ons. Minibuses (18-35 passengers) have limited rear storage and may not hold a full suitcase for every passenger if the bus is at full capacity. If your group is bringing excessive luggage, trade show gear, or sports equipment, please let our reservation specialists know when you call 951-618-7440 so we can ensure you book a vehicle with sufficient cargo space.

What happens if our flight is delayed?

We understand that flight delays are a common part of travel. When you book your airport transfer with Charter Bus Chino, we ask for your flight information so we can track your arrival time. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you land. We provide a grace period for flight delays, but it is always helpful to keep in contact with our dispatch team if you know of major schedule changes in advance.

Do you offer transportation to Chino Airport (CNO) for private flights?

Absolutely. While Chino Airport (CNO) does not service major commercial airlines, it is a popular hub for private charters and corporate aviation. We can arrange for a sprinter van, minibus, or executive coach to meet your group directly at the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) or hangar. This allows for a seamless transition from your private jet to your ground transportation, maintaining a high level of privacy and convenience for VIP travelers and corporate executives.

How far in advance should we book our airport transfer?

We recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For trips during peak travel seasons (holidays, summer, 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 at 951-618-7440 to check availability for your dates.
