Thunderstar Stages

Thunderstar Stages was founded in 1997 by three people — a driver, a bookkeeper and a dispatcher — who were then working for a local charter bus service.

THREE PEOPLE WITH A DREAM…

• To operate a service that would take passengers from Petaluma and Santa Rosa to Reno, Nevada, on weekends.

• The current owner, Anne Picchi, was introduced to the business through the opportunity of investment. Her role grew, and she is now the owner of Thunderstar Stages.

• Anne puts a high value on the safety and satisfaction of her customers after each trip, always welcoming feedback and hoping to leave each customer with the tour or travel of their desires.

GIVING BACK

• In smaller ways Thunderstar contributes to our local community, for example by providing buses to the 20/30 Club so kids can go fishing, transporting special-needs children to the Pumpkin Patch, and running shuttles for the Human Race, Graton Fire Department Pancake Breakfast fund raiser, and the Fungi Fest food program.

Providing the Best Napa Wine Tours to Casino Transportation and more!

• Our vans accommodate up to 8 guests, and our shuttle buses accommodate up to 28 guests.

• Locally woman-owned and family-operated charter bus service for over 15 years in beautiful Sonoma County.
