Local Airports and Shuttles
Airports
We recommend the following airport for students:
- Ontario International Airport (ONT), approximately 30 minutes’ drive from campus.
Los Angeles (LAX) is the largest international airport but is up to 2 hours’ drive from campus. Other smaller airport choices are PSP in Palm Springs (about 1-hour drive) SNA in Orange County (up to 1.5 hours’ drive), BUR in Burbank (up to 1.5 hours’ drive), and LGB in Long Beach (up to 2 hours’ drive). Of all airport choices, ONT is the best one for CSUSB students.
Airport Shuttles
Students are responsible for their travel to campus. Here are three of many options:
- Lyft or other ride-sharing companies (you need to download a smartphone app and add credit card information): approximately $35-$42 USD for a personal ride, one way.
- Xpress Shuttles or other airport shuttle companies (you need to book a ride on their websites):
- $66 USD for a one-way shuttle from Ontario (ONT) airport (with discount; originally $79).
- $158 USD for a one-way shuttle from LAX airport (with discount; originally $214).
If you are ordering with Xpress Shuttles, tell them you are a student at CSU San Bernardino to get the 15% discount. This shuttle picks you up at the curb near your baggage claim, rather than at a separate parking lot. https://xpressshuttles.com/
- International Students, Inc. (ISI) is an unaffiliated program that provides free airport pickups from any airport in Southern California. They also host events and dinners to international students from many university campuses. To arrange an airport pickup, you can fill out this form https://andyandsandy.weebly.com/airport-pickup.html or email Andy Pearce at apearce@isionline.org.
