A sprinter van or 15-passenger minibus is an option for arranging a quick transfer.
Coordinating a larger group arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) or San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP) (975 Airport Dr, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401)?

Santa Maria Airport Transportation to and from SMX, SBA, SBP, and LAX
A group arriving at Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX) at 300 Airport Drive has a simple, short transfer into the city, but that doesn't mean logistics plan themselves. When multiple flights are landing at different times, or when your group is large enough to fill a charter bus, coordinating curbside pickup becomes a challenge fast. Santa Maria Airport's curb and terminal rules allow vehicles at the curb for active loading and unloading only, and unattended vehicles will be towed.
Your group can use the curb for active pickup or drop-off, then board together rather than leaving a vehicle waiting there. Heading to or from LAX instead? That's roughly a two-and-a-half-hour drive up US-101, and a full-size charter bus listing can include WiFi and an onboard restroom for the ride into Santa Maria.
LAX's charter bus lot map places the lot at 6226 W 96th Street, accessed via 96th Street, giving your group a designated lot for its charter-bus pickup or staging logistics. Call 805-623-7280 to discuss your airport itinerary today!
Choose the Right Bus for Your Santa Maria Airport Group Transfer
Choose from TONS of different vehicle types through the network and match the right bus to your exact headcount, luggage load, and travel timeline. A small executive team heading to a winery in Los Olivos after landing at SBA might need nothing more than a sleek sprinter van rental with leather seating and WiFi. A corporate group of 40 employees flying into LAX for a Central Coast conference needs something with far more capacity, and a 56-passenger charter bus listing can include undercarriage luggage bays for suitcases.
Wedding guests arriving on multiple flights at San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP)? A 25-passenger minibus can be requested for a shuttle loop between SBP and your venue. You pick the bus. Charterbussantamaria.com makes the comparison easy!
