Chico Airport Transportation
Fill out one form and compare airport shuttle buses for your group's next trip through Chico Municipal Airport (CIC) at 150 Airpark Blvd, Chico, CA 95973, or for longer hauls down to Sacramento International Airport (SMF) — approximately 85 miles south of Chico via CA-99 S, about an hour and 20 minutes each way. For groups flying in or out of the Bay Area, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is roughly 175 miles southwest, about two hours and 45 minutes. Instead of splitting your group across multiple cars and dealing with parking at the terminal, one airport shuttle bus keeps everyone together, handles the luggage, and drops your group curbside right where you need to be.
Compare available vehicles and pricing for your airport run in seconds — or call 530-267-0010 and a live agent will put together a custom package for your group's exact pickup points, flight times, and headcount. Chico Regional Airport currently has no scheduled commercial passenger service, but private and charter flights operate there, making the bus especially useful for those arrivals and departures. For the airport approach, your bus takes Cohasset Road Exit 387A from CA-99, continues about three miles to Airpark Boulevard, and follows it to the terminal using the city's official Chico Regional Airport directions and parking page.
Chico Concert Transportation
With so many great concert and live event venues in and around Chico, a group shuttle bus is one of the smartest ways to make sure everyone gets there together — and gets home safely. Whether your group is headed to a show at the Chico Event Center (1900 E 8th St, Chico, CA 95928), an outdoor performance at Redwood Amphitheater inside Bidwell Park, a major festival at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds (2357 Fair St, Chico, CA 95928), or a Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. outdoor concert event at 1075 E 20th St, a concert bus rental keeps the whole group on one itinerary from the first pickup to the last drop-off.

The Silver Dollar Fairgrounds has large surface lots along Fair Street and Manzanita Avenue, with oversized vehicle and bus parking directed to the outer perimeter lots on the west side of the property along Manzanita Ave. Passenger drop-off along Fair Street near the main entrance gate is the standard approach for charter buses. Because bus staging is coordinated on a per-event basis at the fairgrounds, call ahead at (530) 895-4666 to confirm the specific drop-off and parking assignment for your event before you arrive. Day-of parking arrangements are not guaranteed for oversized vehicles, so confirming in advance is strongly recommended.
The Redwood Amphitheater is located inside Bidwell Park's upper section, accessed via Manzanita Ave, Chico, CA 95926. There is no dedicated published charter bus loading zone for this venue. The practical approach is to drop passengers along Manzanita Ave near the amphitheater entrance, then stage the bus in the large upper Bidwell Park surface lot off Manzanita Ave near the One-Mile Recreation Area.
Parking in the upper park lots is free and first-come. For event-specific access details, contact the City of Chico Parks & Natural Resources at (530) 896-7800 before your visit to confirm current access and any event-specific staging instructions.
Nettleton Stadium (400 W 1st Ave, Chico, CA 95926) is located on the Chico High School campus. There is no dedicated published charter bus loading zone for this venue. Charter buses typically drop passengers along W 1st Ave near the stadium entrance, with street parking on the surrounding blocks available for staging between drop-off and pickup.
Because access can vary by event — especially for larger community or athletic events — call ahead to confirm arrangements. Reach Chico High School and the Chico Unified School District at (530) 891-3000 before your visit to confirm event-specific drop-off and staging details.
Laxson Auditorium is located on the CSU Chico campus near the intersection of Normal Ave and W 2nd St, Chico, CA 95929. Charter buses and oversized vehicles on campus use designated lots — Lot 2 (off Normal Ave) and Lot 27 (off W 2nd St) are the closest to the auditorium. Passenger drop-off along Normal Ave near the auditorium entrance is the standard approach.
Campus parking permits may be required for extended staging; contact CSU Chico Transportation & Parking Services at (530) 898-5493 before your visit to confirm current permit requirements and lot availability for your event date. The CSU Chico University Box Office can be reached at (530) 898-6333 for event-specific information. For an accessible arrival, the university provides a drop-off area where Normal Avenue meets West 2nd Street, while accessible parking spaces are in General Lots 1 and 2 near the auditorium; the official Laxson Auditorium accessibility information maps those access points.
The Chico Event Center is surrounded by large surface parking lots on E 8th St and adjacent streets, with oversized vehicle and bus parking available in the outer lots. Passenger drop-off along E 8th St near the main entrance is the standard approach for charter buses. Because bus staging is coordinated on a per-event basis, call the Chico Event Center at (530) 342-2266 before your visit to confirm the specific drop-off zone and bus parking area for your event.
Confirming in advance is especially important for high-attendance events where outer lots may have specific access arrangements.
Bidwell Park has two primary access points for groups arriving by charter bus. The One-Mile Recreation Area (main entrance at 1700 E 8th St, Chico, CA 95928) has a large surface parking lot where oversized vehicles use the outer perimeter — drop-off is along E 8th St near the lot entrance. The upper park (accessed via Manzanita Ave, Chico, CA 95926) has a large lot near the Redwood Amphitheater, with drop-off along Manzanita Ave near the amphitheater entrance.
Both areas are free and open to the public. If your route uses Upper Park, the main upper gate is open from 5:30 a.m. until 11:00 p.m., and the Horseshoe Lake Parking Lot E gate is closed to vehicles on Sundays and Mondays; the city's Bidwell Park gate and facility hours keep the bus inside the correct access window. For event-specific access and any staging details, contact the City of Chico Parks & Natural Resources at (530) 896-7800 before your visit.
For most trips in Chico, booking two to four weeks in advance gives you solid vehicle selection and competitive pricing. For high-demand dates, book significantly earlier — ideally three to six months out. The busiest periods in the Chico market include the Silver Dollar Fair (late May/early June), CSU Chico graduation (mid-May), prom season at Chico-area high schools (April–May), Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. outdoor events (summer and fall), and any major event at the Chico Event Center or Gold Country Casino.
Waiting until the last minute on those dates means higher prices and fewer vehicles to choose from. For a dated campus demand spike, Chico State's 2027 commencement ceremonies run May 19–23, 2027; the university's official Chico State commencement calendar makes that a book-early window for campus-area buses. Call 530-267-0010 or use the online tool now — the earlier you compare, the better your options.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is one of the most iconic craft breweries in the United States — and it was born right here in Chico in 1980 when founder Ken Grossman opened the original brewery on a shoestring budget. Today the Chico campus is a destination in its own right, featuring the Torpedo Room taproom, a full-service restaurant, a gift shop, and public brewery tours (reservations recommended). The grounds also host major outdoor events including the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp and the annual Harvest Festival in the fall, which draw large crowds from across Northern California.
Large parking lots on E 20th St accommodate oversized vehicles in the outer areas.
