SF Minibus is a reliable transport company in the Bay Area. Been in the business for decades - well trusted. Very courteous and knowledgeable drivers. Wide range of bus sizes. Highly recommended! read more

I booked a minibus through San Francisco Minibus to transport 20 people to a Giants game from Marin. It was very easy to coordinate the transportation. The company got back to me quickly and was very responsive. Our driver, Nathan, was terrific. He knew the best route to get to the stadium through rush hour and ballpark traffic. His driving was great, especially given how foggy it was heading back to Marin. The bus was clean and well taken care of. I would work with this company again! read more

I chose this company because of their cost and the wonderful reviews I read online. But they couldn't have been more wrong. They were very nice to speak to over the phone but I couldn't get them to respond back to any of my emails. They wouldn't give me driver info until 30 mins before the trip so I wasn't even sure the driver got my detailed itinerary prior to departing. The first driver, of my 3 day events, was rude and surly according to my client. So I wasn't expecting the rest of the week to be any better. They were on time and no other issues. But I shouldn't have to constantly hound them for confirmations/driver details/change acknowledgements/email responses. Once they took my money they were no longer responsive and I had to call them multiple times to get anything done. Everything has worked out but I wont use them again. I guess you get what you pay for. read more

After reaching out to more than five companies, San Francisco Minibus was the only company that promptly responded to my request. We used San Francisco Minibus for recent team site visit to San Francisco. The tour schedule was a bit complicated but company provided assistance with logistics. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Would definitely use them again on our next visit to San Francisco area. Would recommend ! read more

I heart SF Minibus. They have AMAZING customer service and were very professional. I am sorry that the other yelper had such a bad experience but they far exceeded my expectations, so I felt it was my duty to post a good review for them. I needed to charter a bus for my sister's wedding to shuttle the guests between our hotel and the wedding venue (a winery in Sonoma). SF Minibus gave me the lowest quote amongst other bus companies so I decided to go with them. After googling them after booking them, however, I found a bad review on Yelp and got a little nervous. After all, I wanted my sister's wedding to be perfect and a bad bus charter would have ruined the whole day! But everyone at SF Minibus was fantastic. Amazing customer service and incredibly flexible. They do mostly corporate events and don't usually handle weddings, but they easily answered all questions I had. They signed the wedding vendor contract we had with no problems and were incredibly prompt with emails and phone calls. I was only booking the bus with a week to go for the wedding, but they were able to respond quickly to all my questions. On the day of the wedding, the bus driver showed up on time and waited patiently for us (we were running late). He shuttled all our guests and was incredibly professional even though the last bus ride back was filled with loud and tipsy wedding guests. I am giving them five stars because: I lost my camera the day of the wedding. I didn't know I lost it until the next day. Although I never found it, the SF Minibus people went above and beyond what was expected to try to find it when I called them the next day. The driver called me and they contacted everyone in connection with our bus, including the cleaning staff to try and find the camera for me. I truly appreciated their efforts and so I wanted to post this and let everyone know that they are a reputable company who I will definitely work with again should I need charter service. read more

We hired this company to provide the transportation for our wedding. The plan was for our guests to park and then be shuttled to and from the ceremony. SF Minibus was well versed on the route and locations. They were 45 minutes late and were unable to stagger their arrivals as per the plan. They completely missed our hotel pick-up and a group of guests ended up taking cabs. They were supposed to arrive every 15 minutes. However, there were two pick ups in a row, then a 30 minute wait ---- resulting in my late arrival to my wedding. It was frustrating, I had lots of guests asking me when the buses would arrive. Luckily, everyone else was pretty understanding, but I would certainly not recommend this company to anyone. read more

I used SF Minibus for a company event where we took 120 people from San Francisco to Santa Cruz and back. The shuttle service was great, they were on time, very friendly and totally reliable. I was very happy with this service and I would high recommend them to anyone needing shuttle service in this area. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect after reading all the mixed reviews on Yelp, but after my experience with SF Minibus, I only have good things to say about them. I worked with Shiela and Lido on organizing an all-day SF city tour for a group of 27 out-of-towners. I needed a bus to pick us up from Fremont, drive us around SF with a tour guide, and drop us back off in Fremont in the evening. I exchanged probably a dozen emails with Shiela/Lido during the whole process to discuss price quotes, what-if scenarios, and to get their recommendation on possible itineraries. What I loved -- the responsiveness via email and telephone, and the actual execution of our plan. I requested a quote from 3 vendors, and SF Minibus was the only one to respond. They answered every single one of my questions and offered suggestions on routes and how to maximize my time. My driver Adolfo arrived to pick us up 15 minutes early and was extremely pleasant and accommodating. He knew his routes and where he could park/not park at the various stops on our tour. The bus was very nice and comfortable. Our tour guide Jean probably knew more about SF than anyone on the planet and gave our group a fabulous tour. We didn't follow the "script" exactly as planned and ended up having some extra time between stops, but both Adolfo and Jean were more than happy to take us to some additional stops. Our tour included: AT&T Park, Alcatraz, Pier 39/Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard, Palace of Fine Arts, Crissy Field, Golden Gate Park, Haight, Alamo Square and Chinatown. I can give you more detail if you'd like, but suffice it to say that our itinerary was perfect and gave our group the opportunity to experience SF the way it should be experienced. read more

SF Minibus is incredibly unprofessional, do NOT give them your money. To list all my complaints would take too long, so here's a couple highlights: 1) They threatened to cancel my bus the day before it was reserved because in their words, I "asked too many questions". 2) They charged my card over a week in advance despite the fact i specifically clarified that they would NOT charge me in advance. read more

Hired them for transportation from SF to Marin County. Coordination & logistics was easy and well done. Would recommend.

We used SF Minibus for the transportation for our Nov. '09 wedding. We booked two shuttles and we used the shuttles to transport wedding guests and the bridal party from the reception site to the ceremony site. No fancy limo necessary here. The ceremony site was in a location where parking is nearly impossible. We emailed SF Minibus a schedule in advance, and we asked if they could print out signs to put on the front windows of the shuttle to indicate that the shuttles were for our wedding guests. The shuttles arrived early on the day of the wedding, and they had signs on the front window like we asked. The drivers did a very good job of going back and forth to pick up and drop off guests. The insides of the shuttle were also nice and clean (which was a big relief, especially since we never checked out the shuttles in advance). The pricing for TWO shuttles was also cheaper than renting ONE limo, and most of the guests used the shuttle to either get to the ceremony site or get to the reception site after the ceremony. I would highly recommend SF Minibus if you aren't into fancy limos and if need to transport a large number of people. read more

I used San Francisco Minibus for two separate bus tours of affordable San Francisco homes this October. I found their drivers to be prompt, professional, and knowledgeable about the city- which was extremely important given what we were using them for. On the day of our second bus tour, half of Market St. was closed and the bus driver was still early and mapping out alternate routes. In setting up the events all of my communication with SF Minibus went extremely smoothly. Great customer experience on my end. read more

SF Minibus provided us with great service at a reasonable price for our wedding in Berkeley in April 2010. Price was a real issue for us since renting a bus is so expensive. Unlike many of the other transportation providers we contacted, they start charging you from the first pick-up location instead of what many others did, which is charging from the time for the bus leaves their parking depot. We were given an easy to understand quote inclusive of all taxes, fees and gratuity. They were reliable, courteous, and all of our guests had good reports as far as the cleanliness and timing of the bus. read more

We used SF Minibus to transport our out of town wedding guests from ceremony to reception, across town to avoid dealing with cabs. We worked with Sheila to arrange a one-way transfer from Golden Gate Park to downtown. While the price hurt a little for a 36 person bus, SF Minibus had the best rate compared to Bauers etc. Communication was easy during the planning process, but I do recommend reconfirming on details just as you would with any other wedding vendor. The bus arrived early, was clearly labeled, and shuttled our guests efficiently to our reception. Guests raved about the ease of the experience and comfort of the bus. While it wasn't in our original budget, adding this service and using SF Minibus was ultimately the right call, and a great use of money for our event. read more

The actual bus service is great, but the customer service could use some work. There was a bunch of confusion at first with how many buses I wanted. Once we finally got the quote, it was always difficult communicating with them because they use language like: [excerpt from actual e-mail] Herewith is your confirmation. For your perusal. Then suddenly one day before the event I got passed off to some different customer service rep, and had to provide details all over again. I think they are used to dealing with professional event people, so it's a good thing I was one in my former life! Just be persistent and make sure everyone understands what you are talking about. read more

We hired SF Minibus to take about 20 people from Newark to Muir Beach and back again for our wedding. They were totally professional, 30 minutes early for pickup, and although we were a bit late on our return trip, we were not charged an exorbitant fee for the extra time (they did charge a bit, as I would expect they should!). Highly recommended - great service and a great price. One less thing to stress about on the wedding day! read more

Great company with good prices, helpful office staff, and nice vehicles! We used SF Minibus for a post-wedding family event and couldn't have been happier with the service. Everyone I spoke to in the office was very helpful and courteous and easy to reach by phone and email. They were accommodating with our unique itinerary and on the day of the event, showed up on time and met our expectations 100%. Highly recommended!! read more

Their very angry driver tried to intentionally hit me with one of their buses while riding my bicycle. if you want to flatten cyclists while getting to your destination, then this is the service for you! read more

We used them for a McRoskey Mattress Company event. Planning was well executed and service from start to finish was premium. We will definitely use them in the future. read more

Like Fred C., this is a secondhand review. We hired SF Minibus to take guests to and from the hotels to the wedding. Sheila was very responsive and helpful from the beginning, and they had some of the lowest quotes. We hired one bus, and the driver went to two different hotels and then to the wedding. Everyone arrived on time and safe...I don't know what else you could ask for in a bus company. read more

After reading several reviews on Yelp, we decided to book these guys for our wedding transportation (pre-ceremony pictures around SF). They were reasonably priced and cheaper than some alternatives we found ($398 for 4 hours, inclusive of tax and gratuity). I have nothing but great things to say about the booking process -- I worked with Sheila and she was extremely responsive, on top of things, etc. A couple days before the wedding, I emailed her the detailed itinerary and asked for the driver's contact information (which she didn't have at the time, but she gave me her number as well as the 24 hour dispatch). The day of the wedding, the driver arrived on time. However, as we piled into the vehicle, I noticed we did not have seats for everyone -- this was annoying since this was the first thing I asked when I booked and the amount of people on the shuttle was detailed in the itinerary (and should have been pointed out if it was an issue). So unfortunately, one of the photographers had to sit on the floor (which I felt bad about). The driver also turned out to be rather difficult to deal with. I don't think he really knew his way around SF because he took the longest, most congested way imaginable to our first photo location, which cut into our pictures so we had to ditch the second location. Asking him to turn on the air conditioner (multiple times) and pull away from the curb so people could get out without having to step in mud, etc. was also a great feat in itself. The entire experience with the driver was really off-putting and frankly, not one that is needed on a day that needs to be well-scheduled, organized and happy (which the driver was not). I would not recommend. read more

We have used SF Minibus several times for our senior trips. All the reservation specialists are really friendly. They have always been on time and accomodate last minute changes to our daily itinerary without any complaint. And trust me with seniors, this can happen quite often as some excursions take longer than others. We will defintely be using them again, read more

I recently hired SF Minibus to take a group of 18 wine tasting up in Sonoma. The customer service (initial P. first name) was very professional and friendly. The driver (initial A. first name) was simply outstanding. He showed up spot on time, had the two coolers I requested on board with ice bags inside, and the bus was clean as a whistle. His driving was exemplary - brisk (which was welcome as we had a full schedule of wineries) but perfectly safe. He even navigated a couple tricky turnarounds in tight winery corners with ease. Highly recommended. read more

We used SF Minibus for our pre wedding transportation. We had to book them for 4 hours which we found to be standard in the business. We had 3 locations; downtown, the Presidio and the Palace of Fine Arts. The price and communication in the booking process was great. We established a timeline and on the day of the event, the bus was at the first pickup place on time. Our biggest complaint was the driver did not know the routes to take, even though we gave them our timeline with all the locations days before the event. The driver needs to make sure they know where to go; especially since we were on a pretty strict timeline. It shouldn't be our responsibility to give the driver turn by turn directions. read more

Don't even bother getting a quote from this company, it's a complete waste of time! Their Sales Manager emailed me a vague quote two weeks ago. I immediately replied back asking for clarification, and she emailed the next day with barely a sentence. After 4 phone messages (two were taken by actual people that answered their office phone) and 3 emails asking to confirm the rental, she finally calls me back this morning and says they don't have a specific license needed for this school trip. read more

I had a very positive experience with SF Minibus. I had requested a 35-person minibus to drive a group of friends to and from an event on a Saturday evening (six hours total). The booking process was simple and straightforward, the cost was reasonable (gratuity and gas were included), and I was able to make a reservation only three days in advance. The driver showed up 15 minutes early, was very easygoing about minor changes to the schedule, and was available by cell phone when we were ready to return. read more

We worked with Shiela over the phone as well as thru emails to coordinate 2-35 passenger buses to provide transportation for our out of town guests for our wedding on May 26th. Everyone from Shiela to both drivers were extremely professional and courteous. The quality of the mini buses was very high. Everyone appreciated the fact that we provided transportation for our guests, and the drivers knew the best routes to take and ensured we got there promptly. The billing was also no-hassle and really appreciate all of the work that they did in meeting our needs! Thank you to the entire team over there! All the best, Mr. and Mrs. LaBier read more

I would definitely use SF Minibus again! I hired them for my brother's wedding weekend. We needed buses for 3 different days. Their prices are very reasonable and they were able to accommodate when I had changes (times, destinations, # of passengers, etc.). The drivers were very helpful and courteous. I'm happy that we used SF Minibus for our events. read more

Thank you for the wonderful service for my sons wedding. The drivers of the mini buses were more than courteous, patience and on-time during the entire day. The brides "limo" driver was perfect. Working with Shiela made the process non-stressful and a positive experience. Shiela helped with the timeline, changes and payment process. She is so knowledgeable, kind and alway prompt and poise. I would recommend this company to handle your most important events. Mother of the Groom read more

Minibus gave the most affordable quote, the bus was clean, Bruce the driver was cool, on time, knew the city well enough, and still followed our play by play perfectly, even though we were probably not making any sense after the second and third bar :). read more

Sf Minibus was a pleasure to work with this past weekend - we had 15 relatives in from out-of-town and they needed to be driven back and forth from their downtown hotel to a temple out by the beach in the morning and then back and forth from the hotel to a party venue in the evening. Everyone, even my hard-to-please mother, was happy. The buses were clean, the drivers courteous, the routes direct, and the prices very reasonable. Yay! read more

I booked San Francisco Minibus for my wedding. I was quite happy with the service, ranging from the helpfulness of the staff (Shiela and Pia), the cleanliness of the bus, friendliness of the driver, and the promptness of the service. I lost my cell phone the night of my wedding (no surprise there) but SF Mini bus came through despite the complicated nature of the final runs. I highly recommend them. read more

I would definitely recommend SF Minibus to anyone needing transportation. I researched several companies and they are an affordable option. I also like that they give you an all-inclusive total so you don't have to worry about adding gratuity or fuel charges later. The company was very professional, and contacted me a few days before my event to re-confirm everything. The driver was on time and pleasant. The bus was relatively clean (I could see a few napkins and a piece of food between some of the seats) but didn't have any noticeable messes or odors. Overall a wonderful experience! read more

AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. The day prior to our wedding (10/10/15), SF Mini Bus canceled our reservations claiming to have not received our CC Authorization form. We show a signed form dated 8/28/15. We had 75+ guest in need of transportation from SF City Hall to the Warf. All needed to find last minute transportation. Luckily we were able to find a replacement bus that could accommodate 33 people leaving over 40 people scrambling for Taxis and Ubers. Who need this stress on wedding day? My recommendation is to AVOID using SF Mini Bus and use SF Party Bus as they were very understanding of our situation and did everything they could to minimize our guests inconvenience. Our driver Rick was on time, professional and very helpful! Wedding was amazing read more

We had a wonderful time today, Patrick our driver was funny informative and even sang" Happy Anniversary "to my husband and I..We are so glad we hired this service...Shelly and Aaron Whitaker read more

My team utilized SF Minibus's services for two days, with five points of pick up / drop off. The service could not have been better! The drivers were friendly and the buses were clean. What more could you ask for? Will use again. read more

I used SF Minibus for a wedding pick up and found them generally responsive, fairly affordable, and true to their contract. We booked one bus for a fairly simple route; the day of the wedding was quite smooth, with the bus arriving on time and departing at the end without incident. I had some miscommunications over email during the planning stages, but nothing serious. The quote included gratuity and all other costs, which made things easier. I would recommend this company to others, though it is best to be proactive in communicating with them and confirming the route. read more

We used SF Minibus to transport guests to our rehearsal dinner. The bus was nice and clean and the driver was friendly and showed up on time. The pricing was significantly better than any of the other companies we looked at. I did have some trouble making the arrangements with the office staff. They failed to return several of my phone calls and emails and I had to follow up multiple times to get them to send me the contract to sign. I was a little worried about their reliability, but everything worked out fine in the end. read more

For my annual day activity retreat we decided to go the boardwalk in santa cruz and use SF MINIBUS SERVICE. Coordinating to plan last minute All day activity . Dealing with the staff was very pleasant and professional. We all were please on the service they provided and especially pleased with the driver who made it possible for us to avoid traffic upon our return to san francisco. Thank you read more

Thank you SFMiniBus for the wonderful service you provided for my family to and from Pier 35 and the Star Princess. We had a group of 10 with all the luggage that 10 people can bring on a cruise (18 pieces plus carryon). The only downside was the driver who picked us up to start would not take the van up the driveway. My sons-in-law had to take all the luggage to the van at the bottom of the driveway -- BUT this was resolved on the way back from the ship. The van took us to the top of the drive so we could unload all the luggage there. The vans arrived on time. The vans were clean and the drivers were excellent, particularly the last one who helped with everything. I would use this service again. All things considered the service was a great value for the $$$. read more
