A Guide to Pickups & Dropoffs at Chino, California Airports

Welcome to Chino, California! Whether you are visiting the beautiful Inland Empire for a corporate retreat, a wedding at the Vellano Estate, or a tour of our famous air museums, navigating the airport logistics is the first step to a successful trip. At Charter Bus Rental Company Chino, we understand that ground transportation is the backbone of any group itinerary. Serving Chino, Chino Hills, and the surrounding San Bernardino County since 2011, we have mastered the art of seamless airport transfers.

Chino is uniquely positioned. While we have our own historic airport (CNO) right in town, we are also strategically located near several major international hubs, including Ontario International (ONT), John Wayne (SNA), and Los Angeles International (LAX). Coordinating a group arrival or departure can be stressful, involving synchronized flight times, luggage logistics, and navigating California traffic. That is where we come in. Our warm and welcoming reservation agents are here 24/7/365 to ensure your transition from the runway to the roadway is smooth, comfortable, and efficient. Let us handle the driving while you enjoy the view of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Navigating Ontario International Airport (ONT) with a Group

For most groups traveling to Chino, Ontario International Airport (ONT) is the most convenient option. Located just about 10 miles east of Chino via CA-60 E or I-10 E, ONT offers a hassle-free alternative to the congestion of LAX. However, even at a user-friendly airport like Ontario, moving a group of 20, 50, or 100 people requires coordination. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Chino, we monitor your flight status to ensure your driver is ready when you are. ONT operates out of two main terminals, Terminal 2 and Terminal 4, as well as the International Arrivals Terminal.

For charter bus pickups at ONT, regulations typically require us to load passengers at designated zones, usually located on the center islands curbside. Your driver will communicate with your group leader upon landing to coordinate the exact meeting point. We handle trips for corporate teams heading to the Ontario Convention Center before coming to Chino, or families reuniting for big events. The drive from ONT to downtown Chino is quick, usually taking less than 20 minutes, which means you can be checking into your hotel—such as the Ayres Hotel Chino Hills (4785 Chino Hills Pkwy, Chino Hills, CA 91709)—in no time. Our fleet offers ample undercarriage storage, so even if your group has heavy luggage from a long flight, we have the space to stow it securely while you relax in a climate-controlled cabin.

General Aviation Transfers at Chino Airport (CNO)

One of the gems of our city is the Chino Airport (CNO), located at 7000 Merrill Ave, Chino, CA 91710. Unlike the massive commercial hubs, CNO is a general aviation airport with a rich history dating back to World War II. It is a popular landing spot for private corporate charters, executive jets, and aviation enthusiasts. If your VIP group is flying privately directly into Chino, Charter Bus Rental Company Chino offers discreet, executive-level transportation directly from the tarmac or the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) facilities, such as Threshold Aviation or Encore Jet Center.

Beyond private flights, Chino Airport is a destination in itself. It is home to two world-class museums: the Planes of Fame Air Museum (7000 Merrill Ave 17, Chino, CA 91710) and the Yanks Air Museum (7000 Merrill Ave #35-A270, Chino, CA 91710). We frequently organize field trip transportation for schools across the Chino Valley Unified School District to visit these educational sites. Whether you need a minibus for a small group of executives landing for a meeting at the Majestic Chino Heritage Park or a full-sized charter bus for a student tour of the warbirds, we know the layout of CNO intimately. We ensure your group is picked up promptly without the confusion often associated with general aviation airports.

Long-Haul Shuttles to LAX and John Wayne Airport

Sometimes, flight availability or international connections necessitate flying into the larger regional hubs like Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) or John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County. While these airports are further away—LAX is approximately 45 miles west and SNA is about 35 miles south—Charter Bus Rental Company Chino makes the journey effortless. The drive from LAX to Chino involves navigating some of the busiest freeways in the country, including the I-405 and CA-60. After a long flight, the last thing your group wants to do is split up into five different rideshares and sit in gridlock.

By renting a private charter bus, your group stays together. You can utilize the travel time to debrief on business, watch a movie on our onboard TV monitors, or simply catch up on sleep in reclining seats. For pickups at LAX, charter buses utilize the designated "holding lot" system and will meet your group at the specific charter bus zones on the lower arrivals level. We track traffic patterns in real-time to take the most efficient routes, whether that means cutting through the 57 or taking the 71 Expressway. Similarly, for groups arriving at John Wayne Airport, we provide seamless transfers to Chino, Chino Hills, and Diamond Bar, ensuring you bypass the stress of the Orange Crush interchange comfortably.

Corporate Airport Transportation to Chino Business Parks

Chino is a thriving hub for logistics, distribution, and industry. With major business centers like the Majestic Chino Heritage Park and the Watson Industrial Park, we frequently assist companies with transporting employees, partners, and investors to and from regional airports. Impressions matter in business. Having a uniformed driver meet your team with a sleek, modern motorcoach sets a tone of professionalism and organization. We can arrange complex itineraries that involve picking up a team at Ontario International Airport (ONT), stopping for a lunch meeting at The Shoppes at Chino Hills (13920 City Center Dr, Chino Hills, CA 91709), and then proceeding to your corporate headquarters or distribution center.

Our corporate shuttles are equipped with productivity in mind. With available onboard WiFi and power outlets at every seat, your team can send last-minute emails, charge their devices, or review presentation decks while in transit. We understand that flight delays happen; our 24/7 dispatch team monitors all incoming flights to adjust pickup times accordingly, ensuring no executive is left waiting at the curb. From single-day transfers to recurring shuttle contracts for rotating staff, Charter Bus Rental Company Chino is your partner in corporate logistics.

Wedding & Event Arrivals: Greeting Guests in Style

If you are planning a wedding at one of Chino’s stunning venues, such as the Los Serranos Country Club (15656 Yorba Ave, Chino Hills, CA 91709) or the picturesque Vellano Estate (2441 Vellano Club Dr, Chino Hills, CA 91709), you likely have guests flying in from all over the country. Coordinating their arrival can be a nightmare for a bride or groom. Instead of leaving your loved ones to fend for themselves with rental cars and GPS navigation in unfamiliar territory, organize a wedding shuttle service with Charter Bus Rental Company Chino.

We can create a custom shuttle loop that picks up guests from Ontario International Airport and transports them to their designated hotel blocks in Chino or Chino Hills. This not only ensures everyone arrives safely and settles in quickly but also serves as a warm welcome to your wedding weekend. We can even accommodate special requests, such as playing a personalized playlist or allowing for wedding signage on the bus to get the celebration started the moment they step off the plane. Whether it’s a sprinter van for the bridal party arriving from LAX or a fleet of coaches for guests arriving at ONT, we ensure the transportation is as elegant as the event itself.

Amenities That Make Airport Transfers Comfortable

The vehicle you choose for your airport transfer matters. At Charter Bus Rental Company Chino, we have a diverse fleet to suit groups of all sizes and needs. For smaller groups, our 15-passenger sprinter vans or minibuses are agile and perfect for quick runs to ONT. For larger groups, such as sports teams traveling to the Big League Dreams Chino Hills (16333 Fairfield Ranch Rd, Chino Hills, CA 91709) for a tournament, our 56-passenger full-size charter buses are the ideal solution. One of the biggest advantages of a full-size bus is the luggage capacity.

Sports teams with equipment bags, bands with instruments, or international travelers with large suitcases need space. Our motorcoaches feature massive undercarriage luggage bays that can handle it all, keeping the main cabin clutter-free. Inside, passengers can enjoy high ceilings, plenty of legroom, and personal climate control vents—crucial for those warm Chino summers. Many of our buses also feature onboard restrooms, which is a lifesaver during the longer treks from LAX or SNA. When you book, simply tell our reservation specialists what amenities are a priority for you, and we will match you with the perfect vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chino Airport Transportation

Yes, in most cases! Ontario International Airport (ONT) is very group-friendly. Charter buses typically pick up passengers at the designated "ground transportation" islands located just outside the baggage claim areas of Terminals 2 and 4. Your driver will wait in a staging area nearby until you have collected your luggage and called to confirm you are at the curb. This ensures the bus is not idling and blocking traffic, but is there within minutes when you are ready.

We understand that air travel is unpredictable. When you book your reservation, we ask for your flight numbers specifically for this reason. Our dispatch team monitors flight statuses in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you actually land. You will not be left stranded. We recommend keeping your driver or our 24/7 dispatch line updated if you experience significant changes to your itinerary.

Absolutely. If you are booking a full-size 56-passenger charter bus, these vehicles are designed for long-haul travel and feature spacious undercarriage storage bays that can easily accommodate a standard checked bag and a carry-on for every passenger. If you are booking a smaller minibus or sprinter van, luggage space is more limited. It is crucial to let our reservation agents know if your group has excessive luggage (like sports equipment, band instruments, or trade show gear) so we can recommend the correct vehicle size to ensure a comfortable fit for everyone.

Yes! Chino Airport is not just for flights; it is a major tourist destination due to the Planes of Fame and Yanks Air Museums. We frequently provide field trip and tour group transportation to and from these locations. We can pick your group up from a local school, hotel, or meeting point, drop you off right at the museum entrance at 7000 Merrill Ave, and return to pick you up when your tour is complete. We can also arrange a shuttle to take your group to lunch at nearby spots like The Shoppes at Chino Hills afterwards.

We always recommend booking as soon as your flight details are confirmed. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing, especially if you need a specific type of vehicle like a premium motorcoach or a sprinter limo. However, we know last-minute trips happen. Our team is available 24/7 at 951-546-0170 to help you with short-notice bookings, and we will do everything possible to find a bus for your group.
