Shuttle Your Shift Workers to Hilo Medical Center at any hour
Give your nursing staff, technicians, and support teams a dependable ride to Hilo Medical Center (1190 Waianuenue Ave, Hilo, HI 96720) — no matter what time their shift starts. Hilo Medical Center operates 24 hours a day, and the Hele-On Bus simply doesn't run at 5:00 a.m. or midnight. A dedicated employee shuttle bus covers the gaps that public transit can't, picking up staff from residential areas in Keaau, Pahoa, and lower Puna and delivering them straight to the hospital entrance on schedule.
With Hilocharterbuscompany.com, you can compare minibuses and full-size coaches from a network of Big Island transportation providers and find the right vehicle for your shift rotation — call 808-657-3240 to get started!
For University of Hawaii at Hilo Faculty and Staff Commutes
For faculty, staff, and event attendees making their way to the University of Hawaii at Hilo (200 W Kawili St, Hilo, HI 96720), a private employee shuttle takes the parking scramble completely off the table. UH Hilo draws employees from across the east side of the island, and a reliable shuttle route from Keaau or Pahoa keeps your team on time for early morning classes, department meetings, and campus events. Hilocharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare buses from a large network of transportation companies serving the Hilo area — whether you need a recurring daily shuttle or a one-time charter for graduation and special events. Fill out one quick form and compare vehicles and pricing in seconds!
With Hilocharterbuscompany.com, Booking Research Team Shuttles to Mauna Kea Is Simple
With Hilocharterbuscompany.com, booking transportation for observatory staff and research teams based in Hilo is straightforward. The observatories atop Mauna Kea — including the W. M. Keck Observatory, Subaru Telescope, and Gemini Observatory — employ staff who commute from Hilo, and most standard rental car agreements prohibit driving on the summit access road. An organized shuttle from the Mauna Kea Observatories Base Facility (177 Makaala St, Hilo, HI 96720) removes that restriction entirely.
Through the network of transportation companies on this site, you can compare vehicles suited to the Big Island's unique terrain and find the right fit for your team's schedule. Call 808-657-3240 any time for a custom quote!
Cross the Island on the Daniel K. Inouye Highway With Your Whole Team
Cross-island commutes between Hilo and the Kona side are long — the Daniel K. Inouye Highway (Route 200) covers rugged, high-elevation terrain between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, and it's a route that deserves a comfortable, reliable vehicle. For research teams, government employees, and workers making the cross-island run regularly, a charter bus or minibus turns a tiring solo drive into a productive, relaxed ride with reclining seats, climate control, and onboard WiFi. Hilocharterbuscompany.com connects you to a network of transportation companies serving both sides of the Big Island — so you can compare options and find the right bus for your cross-island route. Fill out one quick form to get instant pricing!
With Hilocharterbuscompany.com, You'll Find Shuttle Options for the Pahoa and Lower Puna Commute
With Hilocharterbuscompany.com, you'll find buses ready to cover one of Hilo's busiest and most underserved commuter corridors — the Route 130 run between Pahoa, Leilani Estates, and downtown Hilo. Large numbers of Big Island residents live in lower Puna and commute 25 to 35 miles each way to Hilo employers every day. The Hele-On Bus serves this route, but its schedule is far too limited for shift workers and employees with early or late hours. A private employee shuttle on Route 130 picks up your team at consistent stops, delivers them to work on time, and brings them home — all without the stress of the Keaau junction bottleneck during peak hours.

It's that simple!
Yes! Recurring commuter shuttle routes are one of the most common employee transportation packages requested through the network. You provide your pickup stops along Route 130, your morning and afternoon schedule, and your headcount — and the network of transportation companies can match you with a vehicle and a recurring arrangement that fits your team's daily routine.
Call 808-657-3240 to discuss a custom recurring package!
Absolutely. The network of transportation companies serving Hilo includes operators who can accommodate non-standard hours — including early morning pickups and late-night returns for shift workers at Hilo Medical Center and other 24-hour facilities. When you request your quote, simply note your shift times and pickup locations, and you'll see the available options for your schedule.
The Hele-On Bus can't cover those hours reliably — a private shuttle can.
Yes — whether you need a one-time charter for a graduation ceremony or a recurring faculty and staff shuttle to the University of Hawaii at Hilo campus, the network of transportation companies on this site can help. Fill out one quick form to compare vehicles and pricing for your specific schedule, or call 808-657-3240 and a live agent will put together a custom package for your needs.
It depends on your headcount and pickup locations. For smaller groups of 10 to 15 employees coming from farms and operations along the Hamakua Coast on Route 19, a sprinter van or 15-passenger minibus is often the right fit. Larger teams making a longer express run from Honokaa or beyond may be better served by a 25-passenger minibus or a full-size coach.
Compare your options through the quote tool or call 808-657-3240 — the right size is in the network!
Yes — and it's one of the best reasons to have a shuttle already booked. The Merrie Monarch Festival (held annually in April at Edith Kanaka'ole Stadium, 350 Kalanikoa St, Hilo, HI 96720) brings large numbers of visitors to downtown Hilo and significantly impacts parking and traffic around Kamehameha Avenue and the civic center area. A pre-arranged employee shuttle drops your team at the door and picks them up after their shift — no hunting for parking, no navigating festival-week congestion.
Book early for festival week, as availability across the network fills quickly!
