Charter Bus Rentals in Kent, Washington

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach that is rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for the contracting party—such as a school, business, sports team, or event organizer—and follows a route and timetable set by the client. Charter buses are commonly used for group travel to events, tours, corporate functions, and multi-day trips.

Charter Bus Company Kent offers a wide range of buses in Kent, including 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 44, 47, 50, 52, 55, and 56-passenger motorcoaches from top brands like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4500), Setra, Temsa, and Irizar. We also have 18- to 38-passenger minibuses, 6- to 14-seat sprinter vans, and 6- to 9-passenger SUV/crossover shuttles. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver, gray, blue, red) and can be custom-wrapped for your event or organization.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, PA system, DVD player, flat-screen monitors, and onboard Wi-Fi. Many also offer 110V/USB power outlets at each seat and a restroom at the rear of the coach. Premium models may feature leather upholstery, upgraded sound systems, or even custom exterior wraps. Minibuses typically have forward-facing seats, basic A/C, and optional Wi-Fi or PA system, but no restroom or luggage bays.

Yes, all full-size charter buses have generous luggage space both in overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and in large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the floor. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (roller bag) for the baggage bay and one smaller carry-on item (backpack or tote) for the overhead rack. The luggage bays can accommodate bulky items like sports equipment, band instruments, or display cases, but must be loaded/unloaded while parked.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Kent can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Many newer 40- and 56-passenger coaches are available in ADA-compliant versions, and several 18- to 38-seat minibuses can also be equipped with a lift. It’s best to request an ADA-accessible vehicle when booking so we can confirm availability and ensure the right equipment is dispatched.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Kent: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year (peak season vs. off-peak), and any special requirements such as ADA accessibility or luxury amenities. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, and deadhead mileage if the bus must travel empty to or from the pickup location. Large events at venues like ShoWare Center or Emerald Downs can also impact availability and pricing.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and summer are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sporting events, so buses can sell out quickly. For large events or complex itineraries, 6 to 12 months’ notice is recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher prices.

Yes, a deposit is required to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 20-30% of the total rental cost and is due at the time of booking. The balance is due 7 to 14 days before the departure date. For bookings made within two weeks of the trip, full payment is required upfront. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks.
