Charter Bus Rentals in Kirkland, Washington

A charter bus is a large vehicle that you can rent for private group transportation anywhere in Kirkland or King County. Unlike public Metro Transit buses, charters run on your schedule and go exactly where you want—from Totem Lake to Juanita Beach or even out of state. Most seat 40–56 people with cushioned seats, overhead luggage racks, TV screens, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and climate control. They’re perfect for field trips to the Museum of Flight, corporate shuttles between Google campuses, wedding guest transport, or sports team travel across Washington.

We have one of the largest fleets in Washington with minibuses (18–35 seats), full-size charter buses (40–56 seats), entertainer coaches, sprinter vans, and specialty vehicles. Every type comes from top brands like Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, Diamond, Starcraft, and ElDorado. Whether you need a 25-passenger minibus for a bridal shower at Woodmark Hotel or a 54-seat coach for a Lake Washington High School band trip, we have options with exactly the amenities you request.

Charter bus pricing depends on mileage, duration, bus size, and time of year but most rentals average $1,100–$2,400 per day. Short local trips—like a three-hour shuttle from South Rose Hill to Marina Park—may be as low as $175–$275 per hour with minimums. Full-day packages for weddings or company retreats typically run $1,500–$2,100. Weekend rates and peak summer dates cost slightly more due to demand.

Major pricing factors include total trip mileage, number of service days, bus size/capacity, and seasonal demand. Longer trips—such as overnight charters to Spokane or Portland—increase costs due to extra driver hours and lodging requirements. Larger vehicles with premium features (restroom, leather seats, PA system) cost more than basic minibuses. Peak periods like Seafair weekend, UW graduation, or December holiday parties may have higher rates because so many groups book at once. Last-minute reservations sometimes pay a rush fee if inventory is tight.

Booking is simple: call our office at 360-845-8010 or fill out the online form with your trip details (date, pickup/drop-off addresses, group size, special requests).

Most models have free Wi-Fi hotspot, USB charging ports at every row, and Bluetooth audio system. Restrooms with toilet and sink come on 40+ foot coaches. Optional upgrades: leather upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, fold-out tray tables, PA microphone, rear lounge area, card tables, or custom branding wraps. ADA-accessible lifts available upon request for no extra charge.

We serve every type of group including school field trips, youth sports teams, corporate employee shuttles, wedding parties, church retreats, senior citizen outings, political campaign tours, film production crews, and concert band equipment hauls. Examples: daily Microsoft commuter loop from Redmond Ridge; Totem Middle School science class visiting Pacific Science Center; Little League baseball tournament in Bothell; bridal party photo circuit around Carillon Point; Sunday worship van for Eastside Christian Fellowship; assisted living excursion to Snoqualmie Casino; stage manager logistics for Summer Concerts at Marina Park.

We provide service throughout all of King County and the greater Seattle metro region including Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, Woodinville, Issaquah, Renton, Mercer Island, and Kenmore. Long-distance charters regularly go to Tacoma, Everett, Bellingham, Yakima, Spokane, Vancouver WA, Portland OR, and even Vancouver BC. Airport transfers to SEA-TAC run 24/7. No destination is too far—if you need group transportation anywhere west of the Cascades, we can dispatch a bus there fast.

Popular loading zones include the transit center on 3rd Street, Marina Park lot, Peter Kirk Community Center driveway, and hotel porte-cocheres at Woodmark or Courtyard Marriott. Large vehicles can stage temporarily on Central Way or Market Street if pre-arranged with city officials. Event venues like Heritage Hall and Northwest University have designated bus bays. For long-term parking during layovers, use the South Kirkland Park & Ride or remote sections of Costco/Google campus garages with prior approval. Always check clearance heights for underground ramps.

Quotes cover the base rental fee, driver compensation, fuel, mileage, standard amenities, and basic insurance. Gratuity is optional but appreciated for excellent service (industry norm is 10%). Tolls, bridge fees, ferry fares, and paid parking lot charges are NOT included—client is responsible for reimbursing those at cost. Meals and lodging for driver on overnight trips must be provided or added to invoice. Special permits for parades or film shoots billed separately at agency rates. No additional surcharges—everything is itemized upfront.

Match vehicle capacity to headcount plus a small buffer for last-minute additions—minibuses fit 20–28, mid-size coaches handle 30–39, full-size rigs hold 40–56 seated adults. Consider luggage volume: sports teams with coolers and gear bags need extra bay space; musicians hauling amps require cargo racks. Request restroom if trip exceeds 90 minutes without stops. Wi-Fi and power strips essential for student or tech company charters. ADA lift mandatory for wheelchair users. Prioritize recliners and legroom on overnight journeys. Tell us your priorities and we’ll recommend the best model available.
