Gilroy Airport Transportation
Gilroycharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to find airport shuttle buses for groups flying in or out of Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) (1701 Airport Blvd, San José, CA 95110), approximately 28 miles north of Gilroy on US-101. At SJC, charter buses pick up at Terminal A Ground Transportation Center Stop #4; at Terminal B, charter buses use Stop #11 in the middle island — not Stop #12, which is for scheduled buses. SJC has no official charter bus staging area, so buses hold at off-site parking between runs.
Build extra time into your arrival window, and have your whole group together with all luggage before calling the bus forward.
Groups flying through San Francisco International Airport (SFO) can also find airport transportation here. SFO pickup is at the bus courtyards on the Arrivals/Baggage Claim level, with your driver coordinating a nearby staging location and timing pickup to your group's flight. Compare available vehicles and get your airport transfer quote in seconds — call 669-746-5930 or use the online tool now!

Compare minibuses, charter buses, and party buses for concerts and live events serving Gilroy and the surrounding region! Groups heading north to SAP Center (525 W Santa Clara St, San José, CA 95113) for a Sharks game or a touring concert can skip the downtown San José parking scramble entirely — one bus keeps everyone together from Gilroy to the arena and back. PayPal Park (1123 Coleman Ave, San José, CA 95110) hosts San José Earthquakes matches and major concerts throughout the year.
For bigger shows, groups also travel from Gilroy to Chase Center in San Francisco and Shoreline Amphitheatre (1 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043) — about 45 miles north on US-101. One bus means one pickup, one drop-off, and no one paying surge pricing to get home after the encore. Compare concert transportation options and get your quote in seconds at 669-746-5930!

You compare the options and book through the process shown with your quote.
Gilroycharterbuscompany.com is a quote-comparison and referral website that makes it easy to find and compare charter buses, minibuses, party buses, sprinter vans, and school buses serving Gilroy, California. Gilroycharterbuscompany.com is not a bus company, not a motor carrier, and not a local transportation operator.

Transportation is provided by independent operators, and booking is completed through a national booking platform.
Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport (SJC) is the closest major airport, approximately 28 miles north of Gilroy via US-101. Off-peak, that drive takes about 30 minutes. During morning commute hours (7–9am northbound) or afternoon/evening commute (4–7pm southbound), budget 45 to 75 minutes.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is approximately 65 miles north — plan 75 to 90 minutes off-peak and 2 or more hours during peak commute. Monterey Regional Airport (MRY) (200 Fred Kane Dr, Monterey, CA 93940) is about 55 miles south via US-101 and CA-68.
At Terminal A, charter buses use Ground Transportation Center Stop #4. At Terminal B, charter buses use Stop #11 in the middle island — Stop #12 is for scheduled buses only, so make sure your group knows the difference before they walk out of baggage claim. SJC has no official charter bus staging area, which means buses hold at off-site parking between runs.
Have your entire group together with all luggage before calling the bus forward, and build extra time into your arrival window. Confirm current pickup details on the SJC ground transportation page before your trip.
The single busiest weekend of the year in Gilroy is the Gilroy Garlic Festival, held annually in late July at the Hecker Pass Outdoor Events Center, adjacent to Gilroy Gardens — the 2026 event ran July 24 through 26 and drew about 12,000 attendees. Parking near the festival grounds is limited — book transportation as early as possible for that weekend. Other peak periods include prom season in April and May, Gilroy Gardens summer season from June through August, fall harvest weekends along the Hecker Pass Wine Trail in September and October, and holiday shopping weekends at Gilroy Premium Outlets.
Book three to six months out for peak dates; six months or more for Garlic Festival weekend.
CA-152 (Hecker Pass Highway) west of Gilroy is a winding two-lane mountain road. Full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches can travel the route but may find it challenging at some of the tighter curves and smaller winery parking areas. A minibus (15–35 passengers) is often the smarter and more practical choice for Hecker Pass winery tours — easier to navigate on the road, easier to park at smaller family winery properties like Fortino Winery (4525 Hecker Pass Hwy) and Solis Winery (3920 Hecker Pass Hwy), and more comfortable for a group that's stopping at multiple locations.
Mention your specific stops when you request your quote so the right vehicle is matched to your itinerary.
The right bus size depends on your headcount and your trip. Sprinter vans work well for groups of 8 to 14. Minibuses seat 15 to 35 passengers and are great for winery tours, airport transfers, and city trips where a smaller vehicle is easier to maneuver.
Party buses seat 15 to 50 and come with LED lighting, a built-in bar, and premium sound — ideal for bachelorette parties, prom, and birthday celebrations. Full-size charter buses seat up to 56 and are the right call for large corporate groups, long-distance trips, and events where luggage bays and onboard restrooms matter. Compare all available sizes for your date in seconds using the online quote tool!

Parking near the festival grounds is limited, and shuttle buses run from remote lots to the venue.

This remains one of the busiest transportation weekends in Gilroy — book your bus as early as possible.
Fortino Winery & the Hecker Pass Wine Trail
Fortino Winery (4525 Hecker Pass Hwy, Gilroy, CA 95020) is one of the oldest and most beloved family wineries in the South Bay, established in 1970 on a vineyard that had been growing since the early 1930s, producing Italian-style varietals from estate-grown grapes. The winery has a tasting room, picnic grounds, and private event space, with bus-accessible parking on the property. It anchors the Hecker Pass Wine Trail, a cluster of family wineries along CA-152 including Solis Winery (3920 Hecker Pass Hwy) and Kirigin Cellars (11550 Watsonville Rd, Gilroy).
A minibus is the recommended vehicle for this winding two-lane route. Phone: (408) 842-3305

SAP Center is home to the San José Sharks and hosts major concerts and touring shows year-round, approximately 28 miles north of Gilroy on US-101. PayPal Park hosts San José Earthquakes MLS matches and large-scale events. Both venues draw Gilroy-area groups who prefer one bus over navigating downtown San José parking on game and concert nights.
US-101 northbound during afternoon and evening commute hours can add 30 to 45 minutes to the drive — plan your departure from Gilroy accordingly and confirm current drop-off procedures with each venue before your event.
