Enter your pickup location, date, group size, and destination, and you'll land on a results page showing available vehicles and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Merced.

Pricing varies based on the bus type and size, how far you're traveling, the day of the week, and any special amenities your group wants along the way. A 15-passenger minibus for a quick hop to Merced College will price differently than a 56-passenger charter bus running CA-99 to Fresno for a concert.

Yes — Merced is the primary gateway city to Yosemite, about 75 miles east via CA-140. Some sections of CA-140 through the Merced River Canyon between Briceburg and El Portal carry vehicle length restrictions, so bus operators should confirm their vehicle can travel the current route before booking. As of 2026, Yosemite does not require an entrance reservation to enter the park, though Yosemite Valley parking can fill early during peak season.
Contact Yosemite National Park at (209) 372-0200 to confirm current access rules for your vehicle size and date before booking.
The two busiest stretches are May — driven by UC Merced commencement (typically mid-May), Merced College commencement, and prom season across Merced Union High School District schools — and Memorial Day through Labor Day, when Yosemite-bound traffic spikes demand on the CA-140 corridor. The Merced County Fair in June also pulls regional bus inventory. Book three to six months out for any of those dates; for UC Merced graduation and prom, six months or more is the safer window.
The vehicles available through the network range from sprinter vans seating 10–14 passengers up to full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches. Minibuses typically seat 15–35 passengers and are a great fit for smaller groups or city routes with tighter turns. Party buses seat 15–50 passengers and come with lounge-style perimeter seating, LED lighting, and a built-in bar.
Just enter your passenger count into the quote form and the results page will show you vehicles sized to your group!
Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible onboard restrooms are available through the network. Just mention your accessibility needs when you fill out the quote form or when you call 209-328-2560, and the results will reflect vehicles that can accommodate your group. It's always best to mention accessibility requirements early so the right vehicle is confirmed for your date.
Absolutely! Multi-day packages are available through the network for tournaments, conferences, Yosemite excursions, and longer trips across California. Full-size motorcoaches come with onboard restrooms, undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, and reclining seats — everything your group needs for a comfortable multi-day journey.

For most trips in Merced, booking three to six months in advance gives you the best vehicle selection and the best pricing. For high-demand dates — UC Merced commencement in May, Merced County Fair in June, Yosemite peak season from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and prom season in April and May — book six months or more in advance. Waiting until the last minute on any of those dates almost always means higher prices, fewer vehicles to choose from, or both.
