Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Shoreline, Washington

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to a specific destination. Unlike public buses, which follow fixed routes and schedules, charter buses operate on-demand according to the needs of the client. They are commonly used by schools, sports teams, businesses, churches, wedding parties, and tour groups seeking convenient travel between locations such as hotels, event venues, or airports. Charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and feature amenities like cushioned reclining seats, overhead luggage racks, climate control, PA systems, and onboard restrooms. The main advantage of a charter bus is that it provides exclusive, direct service tailored to the itinerary of your group.

We offer many different kinds of vehicles so you can always find the best choice for your trip. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (47–56 seats) from manufacturers like Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Setra, and Temsa. These are ideal for large groups traveling long distances and come equipped with comfortable high-back seats, Wi-Fi, power outlets, DVD/video monitors, restrooms, and plenty of storage space. For smaller groups or shorter trips, we have minibuses that seat 18–35 passengers. Minibuses are great for shuttle circuits, corporate outings, or wedding transportation around Shoreline neighborhoods like Richmond Beach, Echo Lake, or North City. We also provide sprinter vans (10–15 seats) for airport transfers or executive travel.

The average cost to rent a charter bus in Shoreline ranges from $1,175 to $3,500+ depending on several factors. Pricing is based on total mileage, duration of the trip, type of vehicle, time of year, and any special requests. Short local charters within King County may be quoted at an hourly rate ($185–$325 per hour with a five-hour minimum), while overnight trips to places like Leavenworth or Portland are billed by the day ($1,100–$2,700+ per day). One-way transfers to Sea-Tac Airport or downtown Seattle use a flat rate based on distance. Get an instant quote by calling our team with your exact itinerary.

Several factors affect the price of a bus rental: trip distance, trip duration, bus size, amenity package, and seasonality. Longer trips cost more because they require more fuel and driver hours—for example, a weekend charter to Spokane will be pricier than a single-day shuttle to UW. Larger buses with premium features (Wi-Fi, USB ports, leather seats, restroom) have higher base rates than standard models. Peak demand periods like summer break, holiday weekends, or major events (Seafair, Bumbershoot) can increase prices due to limited availability. Last-minute bookings may also incur surcharges compared to reservations made weeks in advance.

All our buses come with comfortable cloth-upholstered seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, and ample overhead storage racks. Most models include free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB charging ports at each row, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/CD player, PA microphone, and underfloor luggage bays. Restrooms with toilet and hand sanitizer are standard on 40+ seat coaches. Additional options—depending on manufacturer—may feature reclining seats with extra legroom, drop-down tray tables, window shades, cup holders, and Bluetooth audio system. Minibuses have slightly fewer amenities but still provide cushioned bench seating and compact luggage area at rear.

We serve every kind of group imaginable! Schools rely on us for field trips to Woodland Park Zoo, Museum of Pop Culture, or Pacific Science Center. Sports teams from Shorecrest High School and Shorewood High School book season-long transportation to away games across the state. Local businesses arrange employee shuttles between office parks, construction sites, or remote parking lots. Couples hire wedding shuttles for guest pickup at hotels near Aurora Avenue N. Religious organizations schedule Sunday service routes and youth retreats. Band tours, political rallies, volunteer projects—if you need to move people efficiently, we have done it before.

Getting a quote is fast and easy—just call our office at 360-845-8010 or fill out the online form with your trip details. We need to know the date(s) of travel, pickup location, drop-off location, departure time, return time, total number of passengers, and any special requirements (ADA accessibility, extra luggage space, etc.). One of our representatives will respond within minutes with a personalized estimate based on current fleet availability.

When choosing a bus, consider group size, trip length, budget, and desired amenities. Make sure the vehicle has enough seats for everyone plus a few spares for last-minute additions. For journeys longer than two hours, request features like Wi-Fi, power outlets, restroom, and reclining seats to keep passengers comfortable. Teams or bands with bulky equipment should ask for maximum luggage capacity. Small groups can save money by opting for a minibus instead of a full coach. If anyone in your party uses a wheelchair or walker, specify ADA-compliant entry ramp and priority seating area. Custom branding or signage is available for corporate clients.
