A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Long-Distance Transfers from Bozeman, Kalispell, and Spokane
While Missoula Montana Airport is the most convenient option, we understand that flight availability and pricing sometimes necessitate flying into regional hubs. Charter Bus Missoula is fully equipped to handle long-distance airport transfers from neighboring airports to bring your group comfortably to Missoula. If your group finds better flight options into Glacier Park International Airport (4170 US-2, Kalispell, MT 59901) or Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (850 Gallatin Field Rd, Belgrade, MT 59714), we can arrange a comfortable motorcoach to pick you up. The drive from Bozeman to Missoula along I-90 offers stunning views of the mountain ranges, but it takes roughly three hours—time better spent relaxing in a reclining seat with onboard WiFi than navigating unfamiliar highways yourself. We also service groups flying into Spokane International Airport (9000 W Airport Dr, Spokane, WA 99224) for those coming from the Pacific Northwest. Our long-distance airport shuttles come with onboard restrooms and plenty of undercarriage storage for luggage, making the journey part of the adventure rather than a logistical headache.
University of Montana Student & Faculty Airport Shuttles
The University of Montana is the heartbeat of our city, and Charter Bus Missoula is proud to support the transportation needs of the Grizzlies. We offer specialized airport shuttle services for student organizations, visiting athletic teams, alumni associations, and faculty departments. Whether you are bringing a prospective student group for a campus tour at the UM Welcome Center (32 Campus Dr, Missoula, MT 59812) or transporting the marching band to an out-of-state tournament via MSO, we have the fleet to accommodate you. Navigating campus logistics can be tricky, but the drivers know the best drop-off points near the Washington-Grizzly Stadium or the Dennison Theatre. For parents’ weekends or homecoming events, a private shuttle from the airport to local hotels ensures that everyone stays together and arrives on time. We can also arrange ongoing shuttle contracts for semester-start and semester-end transfers, helping students get to the airport comfortably without the need for long-term parking fees.
Corporate Retreats and Ski Trip Airport Transfers
Missoula is a prime destination for corporate retreats and winter sports enthusiasts, and Charter Bus Missoula is your partner for getting gear and people from the tarmac to the slopes. If your company is flying in for a team-building event at a lodge in the Lolo National Forest or a conference downtown, our executive minibus rentals provide a professional and punctual first impression. For ski groups heading to the Montana Snowbowl (1700 Snow Bowl Rd, Missoula, MT 59808) or creating a custom itinerary to Discovery Ski Area, standard rental cars simply won't cut it for hauling skis, snowboards, and heavy winter gear. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays specifically designed to handle bulky equipment, keeping the cabin clutter-free and comfortable. Your team can utilize power outlets and WiFi to wrap up work on the drive, or simply relax in climate-controlled comfort while the drivers navigate the winter road conditions for you.
The Perfect Bus for Your Missoula Airport Transfer
We understand that no two groups are the same, which is why Charter Bus Missoula offers a diverse fleet to match your specific headcount and luggage requirements. For smaller groups of executives, wedding parties, or families of 15 to 25 people, our minibus rentals are the perfect solution. These vehicles are compact enough to navigate the pickup lanes easily while still offering headroom and storage for carry-ons. For larger groups, such as sports teams, school field trips, or large conventions, our 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches are the industry standard for comfort and capacity. These coaches come equipped with amenities that make airport transfers a breeze, including reclining seats, footrests, and onboard restrooms—essential for those longer transfers from regional airports. No matter which vehicle you choose, you’ll receive the same high standard of cleanliness, maintenance, and professional service. We can even coordinate a fleet of mixed vehicle types if your group is arriving on different flights at different times.
How Our Airport Pickup Process Works?
Booking an airport shuttle with Charter Bus Missoula is designed to be the easiest part of your travel planning. Once you provide us with your flight numbers, our dispatch team takes over. We track your arrival time to the minute, adjusting for any delays or early landings so you are never left waiting. Upon arrival at Missoula, Montana Airport, your group will proceed to the baggage claim. Once you have your luggage, you will head to the designated commercial vehicle loading zone, where your driver will be waiting—or will pull up within moments of your call. Unlike rideshares where you might be split into four or five different cars and pay surge pricing, your private charter bus is reserved exclusively for you. Your driver will assist with loading luggage into the storage bays, allowing you to board and settle in immediately. We handle the parking fees and logistics, so you can simply focus on your head count and enjoying the ride into Big Sky Country.
Wedding Guest Shuttles from the Tarmac to the Altar
Missoula is a breathtaking location for destination weddings, with venues ranging from the historic Daly Mansion (251 Eastside Hwy, Hamilton, MT 59840) to the scenic Keep Restaurant (102 Ben Hogan Dr, Missoula, MT 59803). However, asking out-of-town guests to navigate from the airport to a venue deep in the Bitterroot Valley or up in the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area can be asking a lot. Charter Bus Missoula simplifies this by acting as your guests' personal concierge on wheels. We can set up a shuttle loop that picks up guests from MSO and drops them off at designated hotels like the DoubleTree by Hilton (100 Madison St, Missoula, MT 59802) or The Gibson. By consolidating your guests into one vehicle, you ensure that everyone arrives at the welcome dinner or ceremony on time and relaxed. Plus, with a private shuttle, the celebration starts the moment they land, with options for playing music and enjoying the company of family and friends during the ride.

Frequently Asked Questions About Missoula Airport Transportation
How much does an airport charter bus rental cost in Missoula?
The cost of an airport charter bus rental in Missoula varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the distance of the transfer (e.g., a local transfer from MSO versus a long-distance transfer from Bozeman), the time of year, and the duration of your rental. Because every trip is unique, we provide personalized quotes to ensure you aren't paying for services you don't need. Local transfers are priced differently than full-day rentals. To get the most accurate price, call our reservation specialists at 509-381-3214 with your flight details and headcount, and we’ll give you an instant, all-inclusive quote right over the phone in one minute.
Where will the bus pick us up at Missoula Montana Airport?
At Missoula Montana Airport (MSO), charter buses and commercial vehicles have designated loading zones located curbside, just outside the baggage claim area. Due to airport security regulations, drivers cannot leave the vehicle unattended at the curb for long periods. Typically, your driver will stage in a nearby waiting lot and pull up to the curb once your group has landed, gathered all luggage, and is ready to board. When you book with Charter Bus Missoula, we will provide you with your driver's contact information so you can coordinate the exact moment of pickup, ensuring a seamless transition from the terminal to the bus.
Can you accommodate flight delays?
Absolutely. We know that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book your airport transfer with us, we request your flight numbers so our dispatch team can monitor your arrival status in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you land. There is no need to panic if you are stuck on the tarmac or held over at a connecting hub; Charter Bus Missoula has you covered. We aim to provide peace of mind, knowing that your transportation will be waiting for you regardless of airline schedule changes.
Is there enough room for ski gear and heavy luggage?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of renting a full-size charter bus or a specialized minibus from Charter Bus Missoula is the ample storage space. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches feature spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate suitcases, ski bags, snowboards, musical instruments, or sports equipment for the entire group. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and coats. If you are traveling with an exceptionally large amount of gear, please let our reservation specialists know when you call 509-381-3214 so we can ensure you are paired with the vehicle that has the maximum storage capacity available.
Do you serve airports outside of Missoula?
Yes, we do. While we specialize in service to and from Missoula Montana Airport (MSO), Charter Bus Missoula operates statewide and regionally. We frequently arrange pickups and drop-offs at Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) in Kalispell, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), Helena Regional Airport (HLN), and even Spokane International Airport (GEG) in Washington. Whether your group is diverting to a different airport for better fares or touring multiple cities in the region, we can coordinate the logistics to pick you up and bring you to Missoula comfortably.
