Compare Vehicles and Online Rates for Airport Transportation in Seconds

Shuttle Buses for UC Merced Students, Families and Visiting Groups
Fill out one form and find airport shuttle buses sized for the unique travel patterns UC Merced creates. Commencement weekend in mid-May brings hundreds of families flying into FAT, OAK, and SMF all at once — and move-in, move-out, and family weekend generate the same spike. Instead of coordinating a caravan of rental cars from the terminal, one minibus or charter bus picks everyone up at the curb and delivers the whole group to campus at 5200 N Lake Rd, Merced, CA 95343. Mercedcharterbusservices.com makes it incredibly easy to compare bus sizes, amenities, and pricing from a network of companies serving Merced — so families and student groups get the right vehicle every time!
Merced to Yosemite Gateway Airport Connections
Mercedcharterbusservices.com will help you connect Yosemite-bound visitors arriving at Bay Area and Central Valley airports with the gateway city that actually gets them to the park. Merced is the primary Yosemite gateway on CA-140 — Yosemite Valley is approximately 75 miles east — and large groups flying into SFO, OAK, or FAT need ground transportation that covers both the airport leg AND the park approach. A charter bus handles the airport pickup and the scenic mountain run in one booking, keeping the whole group together from baggage claim to the valley floor.

Multi-Stop Airport Pickups Across the San Joaquin Valley
You'll love how easy Mercedcharterbusservices.com makes it to set up a multi-stop airport shuttle loop across Merced County and the surrounding Valley.

Whatever the routing, you share your pickup points once, compare the available buses and pricing from the network, and choose what works. No juggling multiple companies, no repeated phone calls — just one form and instant results!

Modesto City-County Airport (MOD) is the closest commercial airport at approximately 37 miles north on CA-99 — roughly 35 to 45 minutes off-peak. Fresno Yosemite International (FAT) is about 60 miles south, typically 55 to 70 minutes. Both are well within range of a minibus or sprinter van for smaller Merced groups.
For more airline options, Sacramento International (SMF) and the Bay Area airports — OAK, SFO, and SJC — are reachable in under three hours.
At Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT), FAX and V-Line use the center median at the terminal Departures curb, while YARTS and taxis use the center median across from the Baggage Claim doors. Your charter bus uses the designated commercial vehicle lane on the Arrivals level, so everyone heads to the right airport curb from the start; the Fresno Yosemite International Airport ground transportation page maps the airport's transportation locations.
As of 2025, Merced Regional Airport (MCE) at 1101 Macready Ave, Merced, CA 95341 handles general aviation, charter flights, and cargo — and scheduled commuter flights to Hawthorne Municipal Airport/Los Angeles and Harry Reid International Airport/Las Vegas. Groups flying commercially use Fresno Yosemite International (FAT), Modesto City-County Airport (MOD), Sacramento International (SMF), or one of the three Bay Area airports. A charter bus from Mercedcharterbusservices.com's network handles the ground leg to whichever hub your group uses!
At Fresno Yosemite International (FAT) (5175 E Clinton Ave, Fresno, CA 93727), commercial buses and shuttles use the designated commercial vehicle lane on the Arrivals level outer curb. Rideshare pickups are in a separate zone, so make sure your group knows to head to the commercial curb and not the app-based pickup area. Gather everyone and all luggage before calling for pickup — curbside time is limited, and assembling the group first keeps the process smooth.
From Merced to Oakland International Airport (OAK) is approximately 110 miles — roughly 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes depending on traffic. The I-580 Altamont Pass westbound is the biggest variable: Friday afternoon and Sunday evening traffic can add 30 to 45 minutes through the pass and the I-580/I-205 interchange near Tracy. Build that buffer into your departure time, and confirm with quote-request help at 209-819-5770 when setting your pickup window.
Once at OAK, charter buses use the lower-level Arrivals curb commercial vehicle zone — not the rideshare curb at sections 3C2 through 3C9.
Yes — multi-stop loops are one of the most common airport setups booked through the network. A typical Merced County run might pick up at a hotel near downtown Merced, then stop at UC Merced's campus at 5200 N Lake Rd, before heading south on CA-99 to Fresno Yosemite International (FAT). Add roughly 10 minutes per stop when working backward from your departure time.
