A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Effortless Group Travel to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA)
For many residents and visitors in Gilbert, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) is the most convenient option. Located just minutes from the heart of Gilbert, this airport is a hub for Allegiant Air and serves as a primary gateway for travelers looking to avoid the congestion of Sky Harbor. However, even at a smaller airport, managing ground transportation for 20, 50, or 100 people requires precision. Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert offers direct shuttle services to AZA, ensuring your group is dropped off right at the terminal curb.
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA): 6033 S Sossaman Rd Mesa, AZ 85212
When you book a charter bus to AZA, you bypass the need for long-term parking, which can be located quite a distance from the terminal. Your driver will handle luggage loading and unloading, allowing your group to head straight for security check-in. If you are arriving at AZA, we track your flight status to ensure your driver is waiting in the designated commercial vehicle lot the moment you land. We regularly service groups heading to nearby hotels such as the Hyatt Place Gilbert or the Residence Inn by Marriott Phoenix Gilbert.
Navigating Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) with a Large Group
As one of the busiest airports in the United States, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is the primary entry point for international travelers and large corporate groups visiting the Valley. Located approximately 20 miles from downtown Gilbert via the US-60 W and I-10 W, the drive is straightforward but can be heavily impacted by Phoenix traffic. Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert takes the stress out of this commute. We understand the complex layout of Terminals 3 and 4, as well as the specific regulations regarding charter bus loading zones.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX): 3400 E Sky Harbor Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85034
Attempting to coordinate pick-ups for a large group at Sky Harbor using personal vehicles or rideshares often results in separation and confusion due to the split levels and multiple curb assignments. With a private charter bus rental, your driver will communicate exactly which door and zone to meet at. For arrivals, passengers can retrieve their baggage and step directly onto a climate-controlled bus with ample luggage bays. We provide swift transfers from Sky Harbor to Gilbert business districts, wedding venues like The Ashley Castle, or straight to residential communities like Power Ranch or Seville.
Private Charters to Falcon Field and Chandler Municipal Airport
For executive teams, VIPs, or private charter flights, smaller general aviation airports often provide a higher level of convenience and privacy. Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert provides discreet and professional transportation to both Falcon Field in Mesa and Chandler Municipal Airport. These hubs are excellent alternatives for business travelers looking to land closer to Gilbert's Heritage District or the SanTan Village business corridor without the hustle of commercial terminals.
Falcon Field Airport (MSC): 4800 E Falcon Dr Mesa, AZ 85215
Chandler Municipal Airport (CHD): 2380 S Stazenski Rd Chandler, AZ 85286
Our executive sprinter vans and minibuses are perfect for these transfers. We can arrange for tarmac-side pickup (where permitted) or meet your party at the FBO (Fixed Base Operator) lobby. Whether you are flying in for a golf outing at the Seville Golf & Country Club or a high-stakes meeting at the Rivulon business park, the drivers ensure a polished transition from air to ground.
Why Choose a Charter Bus for Airport Transfers?
Choosing a charter bus for airport transfers offers significant advantages over other modes of transportation, specifically when dealing with groups. The primary benefit is cohesion; your group arrives together, checks in together, and leaves together. This eliminates the "straggler" effect where one car gets stuck in traffic or goes to the wrong terminal, potentially causing missed flights or delayed events.
Cost efficiency is another major factor. When you break down the cost per person, renting a single charter bus or minibus is often more affordable than paying for multiple days of long-term parking for several vehicles or hailing ten different Uber XLs. Additionally, comfort is paramount. Our buses feature reclining seats, climate control (essential for Arizona summers), and plenty of legroom. Unlike public transit or cramped shuttles, you have a dedicated space for your luggage, ensuring that golf clubs, trade show displays, or wedding attire are transported securely.
Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Airport Transfer
At Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert, we maintain a diverse fleet to accommodate groups of all sizes and needs. Selecting the right vehicle ensures your airport transfer is efficient and cost-effective.
Sprinter Vans (10-15 Passengers): Ideal for corporate executive teams, small families, or bridal parties. These vans offer a sleek profile, high ceilings, and ample luggage space for standard trips. They are perfect for quick runs to AZA or VIP pickups at private airfields.
Minibuses (18-35 Passengers): The go-to choice for wedding guests, extended family reunions, or small sports teams. Minibuses offer the amenities of a larger coach—like A/C and overhead storage—but are nimble enough to navigate hotel driveways and residential streets in Gilbert with ease.
Full-Size Charter Buses (56 Passengers): The standard for large scale movements. If you are moving a high school band, a football team, or a large convention group, this is your vehicle. These buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays capable of holding weeks' worth of luggage and equipment. Onboard restrooms and Wi-Fi allow passengers to relax or work during the commute to or from the airport.
Streamlining Corporate and Business Travel Arrivals
Gilbert is a thriving hub for business, and first impressions matter. If you are hosting clients or bringing in employees from out of state for a conference or training session, reliable transportation sets the tone for the entire visit. Charter Bus Rental Company Gilbert works with corporate travel managers to create seamless itineraries. We can organize a greeter service, coordinate multiple flight arrivals into a single shuttle run, and provide transportation to major local business centers.
We frequently service routes from PHX and AZA to hotels with conference facilities such as the DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix-Gilbert (1800 S Santan Village Pkwy, Gilbert, AZ 85295) or the Hampton Inn & Suites Phoenix/Gilbert (3265 S Market St, Gilbert, AZ 85297). With amenities like power outlets and Wi-Fi available on many of our buses, your team can stay connected, check emails, or make final adjustments to presentations while in transit.
Tips for a Smooth Airport Shuttle Experience
To ensure your airport transfer goes off without a hitch, we recommend a few best practices. First, always provide us with your flight numbers when booking. This allows our dispatch team to monitor for delays or early arrivals in real-time, adjusting the driver's schedule accordingly. Second, establish a "buffer time." We generally recommend arriving at the airport 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights; however, for large groups, adding an extra 30-45 minutes is wise to account for unloading luggage and organizing the group for check-in.
Communication is key. Ensure the group leader has the driver's contact information (which we provide prior to the trip). If you are landing, have your phone on and ready to coordinate the curbside pickup once you have retrieved your bags. Finally, accurately estimate your luggage. If you have a group of 50 skiers with gear, a standard 50-passenger bus might be tight on cargo space; letting us know in advance allows us to recommend the correct vehicle configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gilbert Airport Transportation
How far in advance should I book my airport shuttle?
We recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For peak travel seasons (such as holidays or during major Phoenix events like Spring Training), booking 3 to 6 months in advance is advisable to ensure vehicle availability. However, we understand that business travel can be unpredictable, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests.
Where will the bus pick us up at the airport?
Pickup locations vary by airport and terminal due to local security regulations. At Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway (AZA), charter buses are typically required to load in designated commercial vehicle zones or outer curbs. Once you land, your driver will contact the group leader to provide specific instructions on which door number or zone to proceed to.
Can the bus accommodate all our luggage?
Yes, but the type of bus matters. Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses have spacious undercarriage luggage bays designed for large suitcases and equipment. Minibuses have more limited storage, typically suitable for carry-ons and smaller checked bags. When booking, please be honest about your luggage count (including odd-shaped items like golf clubs or musical instruments) so we can match you with the correct vehicle size.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We monitor all flight numbers provided at the time of booking. If your flight is delayed, our dispatch team will adjust the driver's schedule to ensure they are there when you land. We offer a grace period for flight delays, though significant changes to the itinerary may be subject to driver availability.
Do you offer transportation to hotels in Gilbert?
Absolutely. We provide door-to-door service from the airport directly to any hotel, resort, or residential address in Gilbert and the surrounding East Valley. Whether you are staying at the Hyatt Place, the Holiday Inn Express, or a private residence, we will drop your group off right at the front door.
