Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Seattle, Washington

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rental that transports groups of people to and from specific destinations on a schedule you set. Unlike public transportation or fixed-route services, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the group that hires it, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, sports team travel, and multi-day tours. Buses typically seat anywhere from 20 to 56 passengers and come equipped with amenities designed for comfort during short or long-distance trips.

Charter Bus Company Seattle offers a full fleet of buses in Seattle, including 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 40- to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, party buses for special events, and several types of specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4500), Setra (S417), TEMSA, Grech Motors (GM36, GM40), and Turtle Top, so we can accommodate any group size or trip type. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors (black, white, silver) and can be custom-wrapped for your event.

Most modern Seattle-area charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, and a clean onboard restroom. Entertainment options typically feature multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and PA systems. Many coaches offer Wi-Fi and 110V/USB power outlets at every row. Larger buses may have forward-facing seats with optional tables, while premium models include leather upholstery, wood-look flooring, and customizable lighting. Minibuses share similar amenities but usually lack restrooms and have less luggage space.

Yes, all Seattle charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches feature large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one full-size suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are perfect for backpacks, briefcases, or smaller bags. The standard allowance is one large bag below and one carry-on above per person, but additional items like ski equipment, musical instruments, or presentation materials can often be accommodated with advance notice. Minibuses have limited rear cargo space but still support group luggage needs.

Several factors affect charter bus pricing in Seattle. The biggest are vehicle size/type, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Large motorcoaches cost more than minibuses, especially for multi-day or long-distance trips. Peak demand during summer, holidays, or major events (Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders games; UW events; festivals) can raise rates. Additional charges may include tolls (SR 520, I-405), parking (stadiums, downtown), ferry fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips. Last-minute bookings are typically more expensive than reservations made weeks in advance.

You should book your Seattle charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance for the best availability and pricing. Spring and summer are especially busy due to school trips, weddings, and tourist groups, while fall sees increased demand from sports teams and corporate events. Large events like UW game days, conventions, or cruise departures can also impact availability. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and offer fewer vehicle options.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost but can vary based on the vehicle and trip details. Full payment is due 30 days before the trip departure date. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, the full balance is due at signing. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.
