Local planning
Planning group transportation in Davis
Where pickups start. Davis requests most often begin in Downtown Davis, South Davis, El Macero and West Davis. Give us a street address or a named lot entrance rather than the neighborhood — drive time and where the bus can actually sit both hang on the exact curb.
Where groups go. Destinations named for Davis include UC Davis Campus, Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, Davis Farmers Market, UC Davis Arboretum and Varsity Theatre. Loading rules vary by venue. Pick a meeting corner up front so nobody is hunting for the bus at the end of the night.
When the calendar tightens. Local calendars around Picnic Day at UC Davis, Whole Earth Festival, Celebrate Davis and Davis Music Festival concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Availability tightens around them, so get the date held rather than shopping it.
What people book here. UC Davis Picnic Day shuttle; Davis to Downtown Sacramento; Davis to Napa Valley. Stop order and end time matter more than distance. Send both.
On price. Student-heavy weekends and Picnic Day often price above quiet midweek campus transfers; Sacramento nightlife deadhead adds time vs. local downtown loops. Your written quote is one all-in number for your route, so nothing new turns up at the curb.
Airport groups. Davis trips connect to SMF. Send flight numbers and bag counts; the meeting point is the commercial-vehicle zone, not the passenger curb.
Beyond Davis. Trips that continue into Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose or San Francisco are quoted as one itinerary; see the California guide.
Festivals, concerts, and parades in Davis
