Stanford Game Day and Campus Event Shuttle Buses
You're never limited to one fleet when you book through Busrentalpaloalto.com — and on a Stanford home football Saturday, that matters more than almost anywhere else on the Peninsula! Stanford Stadium (625 Nelson Road, Stanford, CA 94305) holds 50,000 fans, general lots allow on-site payment, while other lots require prepaid parking passes, and Palm Drive and Campus Drive see heavy closures on game days. Charter buses approach via Junipero Serra Boulevard to Campus Drive West, with drop-off on Nelson Road and bus parking on Galvez Street west of Stanford Stadium and Campus Drive.
Enter the bus parking area from Serra Street, cross Campus Drive, and turn right onto Galvez Street; the bus parking area runs on both sides of Galvez Street west of the stadium. Stanford's current football game-day guide has the current parking and traffic details. A charter bus keeps your whole group together from pickup through the final whistle — no hunting for permits, no splitting into separate cars, no scrambling for a rideshare after the game.

Corporate Shuttle Buses for Tech Campuses and Off-Sites Along Sand Hill Road
Through Busrentalpaloalto.com, finding group transportation for corporate events, off-sites, and employee shuttles across Palo Alto's tech corridor has never been easier! Sand Hill Road's venture capital campuses, Stanford Research Park's 700-acre business park along the Hanover Street and Page Mill Road corridor, VMware's Hillview Avenue campus, and HP Inc.'s Page Mill Road headquarters all sit in areas with limited or no direct public transit — which makes a charter bus or sprinter van the smartest group transportation option. Compare vehicles with WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats for teams that want to stay productive on the ride.
Whether you need a recurring employee shuttle between Caltrain's Palo Alto Station (95 University Ave) and a campus in the Research Park, or a one-day bus for a company all-hands, compare your options in seconds and book right online!

Charter Buses to Levi's Stadium, SAP Center, and Bay Area Sporting Events
Fill out one form and find the right bus for your next Bay Area game day! Levi's Stadium (4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054) is just 20 miles south of Palo Alto via US-101, and charter buses drop off on Tasman Drive near the stadium's main entrances — no hunting for parking, no navigating the lot after the final whistle. SAP Center (525 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113) puts San Jose Sharks fans right downtown, with bus drop-off and staging at the intersection of Barack Obama Boulevard and Sharks Way.
The arena's on-site lots do not permit overnight parking, so your bus needs a same-day exit after the event. SAP Center's bus, shuttle, RV, and limo parking page has the current access instructions. And for Stanford Cardinal football at Stanford Stadium, your group stages in Lot 1 off Campus Drive West.

Book four to six months out — at minimum. Stanford Commencement (typically the second weekend of June) is the single highest-demand transportation weekend in Palo Alto and across the Peninsula. Every hotel, rideshare, and charter bus in the area fills for that weekend.
Waiting until spring means higher prices and very limited availability. The earlier you compare and book through Busrentalpaloalto.com, the more options you'll have and the better your price.
Yes. Charter buses approach Stanford Stadium via Junipero Serra Boulevard to Campus Drive West, with passenger drop-off on Nelson Road on the stadium's west side. Buses park on Galvez Street west of Stanford Stadium and Campus Drive while your group is inside.
General lots accept on-site payment on game days, while other lots require prepaid parking passes, so coordinate your bus staging in advance. Check the Stanford Athletics transportation and parking guide before your visit to confirm current lot assignments, since they can shift by event.
San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) is the closest at roughly 18 miles south via US-101 or I-280 — about 25 to 40 minutes off-peak, longer during afternoon rush. San Francisco International (SFO) is about 20 miles north via US-101, typically 25 to 45 minutes. Oakland International (OAK) is about 35 miles north and takes 40 to 60 minutes depending on the Bay crossing.
For any of the three, add a 30-minute buffer for group boarding and terminal walking on the arrival end.
At Terminal A, charter buses use Ground Transportation Center Stop #4. At Terminal B, charter buses use Stop #11 in the middle island — scheduled buses use Stop #12 nearby, which is a different stop. SJC prohibits buses from staging on terminal curbs except while loading or unloading, and buses must use areas designated by posted signs; commercial vehicles are not permitted in the cell phone waiting lot, so buses hold at off-site parking between runs.
Build extra time on the arrival end and have your whole group assembled at the Ground Transportation Center before calling for pickup. The Cell Phone Waiting Area at 2470 Airport Boulevard is free, open 24 hours, and limited to 30 minutes, but its no-commercial-vehicles rule keeps charter buses out; see the SJC Cell Phone Waiting Area rules before you travel. Check the SJC scheduled buses and charters page before you travel.
Yes, with advance coordination. Thomas Fogarty Winery sits along Skyline Boulevard in the Santa Cruz Mountains — accessible by charter bus, but narrow mountain roads mean your coordinator should confirm vehicle size and access in advance. Filoli Historic House and Garden (86 Cañada Rd, Woodside, CA 94062) requires advance coordination for group visits; bus drop-off is at the main gate on Cañada Road.
Check the Filoli visit page and contact the venue directly to confirm bus access before booking your transportation.
Book as early as possible — ideally four to six months before your prom date. Prom season in April and May is one of the single busiest stretches of the year for party bus and minibus rentals across the entire Bay Area, with Palo Alto High School, Gunn High School, and dozens of Peninsula private schools all competing for the same vehicles on the same weekends. Waiting until March or April means higher prices and very limited availability.
