Merced Airport Transportation
Merced Yosemite Regional Airport (MCE) (26 Macready Drive, Merced, CA 95341) serves the Central Valley with commercial and charter service, and coordinating group arrivals there is a lot smoother when one bus handles the pickup instead of a convoy of personal vehicles circling the tarmac apron. For groups flying into larger hubs, Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) (5175 E Clinton Ave, Fresno, CA 93727) is roughly 60 miles south on CA-99, and Sacramento International Airport (SMF) sits about 130 miles north — both are common arrival points for groups heading to Merced-area events. A charter bus or minibus rental handles the transfer without surge pricing or the headache of splitting a large group across multiple rideshares on a congested stretch of CA-99.
Have your group coordinator confirm that everyone has their bags before calling the bus to the curb — airport pickup zones move fast, and a bus staging curbside while stragglers hunt for luggage costs everyone time. At Merced Yosemite Regional Airport, arriving passengers are picked up in front of the terminal, while departing passengers unload at the terminal entrance; vehicles must move promptly after unloading. Check the official Merced Yosemite Regional Airport parking and pickup page for current curb details, and call 350-503-6180 to build a custom airport transfer package for your group!
