Multi-Day Bus Rentals for Winery Tours and California Wine Country Trips
This is wine country — and no corner of California makes that more obvious than the stretch of rolling hills surrounding Santa Maria. The Santa Maria Valley American Viticultural Area is home to acclaimed producers like Byron Winery (5250 Tepusquet Rd, Santa Maria, CA 93454) and Foxen Winery & Vineyard (7200 Foxen Canyon Road, Santa Maria, CA 93454), and groups regularly plan multi-day wine country excursions that reach into Paso Robles, the Santa Ynez Valley, and even Napa or Sonoma. FOXEN notes that its rural location can make rideshare pickups difficult to schedule promptly, so a bus rental lets your group travel together between winery stops.
A winery tour bus rental booked through Busrentalsantamaria.com gives your group one place to compare vehicle options for a wine country trip. Compare vehicles, packages, and multi-day rates from a network of providers, all in one place!
Long-Distance Airport Shuttle Service from Santa Maria
Coordinating group airport transportation from Santa Maria used to mean juggling multiple rideshares, coordinating carpool pickups, and hoping everyone arrived at the terminal on time. Not anymore. Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX) (3249 Terminal Dr, Santa Maria, CA 93455) handles regional connections, but most Santa Maria travelers flying long-distance connect through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), or San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP).
At SMX, vehicles may stop at the terminal curb only for active loading and unloading, so time your group’s arrival and pickup accordingly. For LAX charter buses, the charter bus lot is at 6226 W 96th Street, accessed via 96th Street. Factor that lot location into your group’s LAX pickup coordination.
Book a charter bus airport shuttle through Busrentalsantamaria.com to compare options for your group’s trip to any of these terminals, with undercarriage luggage bays for everyone’s bags. Call 805-623-7585 to get a custom quote built around your flight time and group size!
