The Davis Airporter is a shuttle service that can take you to Davis for a flat rate. Yolobus offers direct bus service to Davis from the Sacramento International Airport. The #42B bus leaves the Sacramento Airport every hour at 20 minutes after the hour between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. and arrives at the Memorial Union on the UC Davis campus about 45 minutes later. No reservations are required. Although inexpensive, this bus will not deliver you to a specific address in Davis and may not have space for extra baggage.

San Francisco International Airport
The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is about 84 miles/135 km from Davis. The Davis Airporter offers a service to get you to Davis from SFO as well.
