Bus Rentals in Burien, Washington

A charter bus is a large vehicle that you book for private group travel to any destination, on any schedule. Unlike public buses with fixed routes, a charter bus follows your exact itinerary—whether it’s a day trip to Mount Rainier, a wedding shuttle to Salty’s on Alki, or a corporate commute from Burien to downtown Seattle. The driver stays with your group for the entire reservation and handles all navigation, parking, and pick-up logistics based on your instructions. Charter buses come in different sizes (minibus, full-size coach, etc.) and have amenities like cushioned seats, Wi-Fi, power outlets, TV monitors, restrooms, and luggage storage depending on the model. You can use them for one-way trips, round-trips, multi-day tours, or recurring shuttles.

We offer minibuses (18–35 passengers), full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers), entertainer coaches (bunk beds and lounge for band tours), and specialty vehicles like ADA-accessible buses or executive sprinter vans. All models are available year-round across King County and can be customized with amenities such as Wi-Fi, USB/power outlets, reclining seats, TV/DVD screens, PA system, onboard restroom, and extra luggage space. You can request specific brands (Prevost, Van Hool, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top) or features when booking. We also provide seasonal options like ski shuttles with boot racks or summer camp buses with undercarriage storage.

Charter bus pricing depends on vehicle size, trip length, and time of year. Small minibuses start around $125–$175 per hour with 5-hour minimums ($750+ total). A 56-passenger coach averages $1,200–$2,000+ per day for local use. Weekend weddings or sports charters may run $1,500–$3,000 depending on mileage. Multi-day tours are quoted by the mile (typically $4–$7/mile) or flat daily rate plus driver hotel. Peak months (May–June for graduations, September for conferences) cost more due to high demand. Get an instant estimate by calling 360-845-8010 with your exact headcount and itinerary.

Main factors are total trip distance, number of days/hours, bus size, and seasonality. Longer trips (e.g., Burien to Portland) cost more than short local loops. Larger vehicles with premium amenities have higher base rates. Busy periods like summer weekends or Seahawks game days increase prices due to limited availability. Last-minute bookings may pay extra compared to reserving weeks in advance. Optional add-ons—Wi-Fi, DVD screens, coolers—can slightly raise the quote. Driver lodging/meals for overnight trips are billed at cost. Tolls, ferry fees, and event parking passes are not included and must be paid separately by the client.
