Seattle Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Seattle

The cost of a charter bus rental in Seattle typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,500+ depending on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, time of year, and specific itinerary. You’ll either be charged by the hour, day, or mile. For example, a standard 56-passenger motorcoach might cost around $2,000–$3,500 for a local full-day rental, while a minibus could range from $1,200–$2,000. Multi-day and long-distance trips are billed at daily or per-mile rates.

Charter bus pricing in Seattle is based on several factors: vehicle type (minibus, motorcoach, party bus), passenger capacity, trip duration (hours, days, or mileage), pickup and drop-off locations, and time of year. Local trips within King County are often billed hourly, while longer or multi-day trips are charged by the day or mile. Additional expenses like driver lodging, tolls, and parking fees are not included in the base rate and will be added separately.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your charter bus reservation in Seattle. The deposit amount is typically due at the time of booking and is applied toward your total rental cost. Your reservation is not confirmed until the deposit has been paid. The remaining balance must be paid in full before your trip departs—exact timing and payment options will be provided when you receive your quote.

The final payment for your Seattle charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Specific payment deadlines will be outlined in your contract, but full payment must be received prior to departure. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and other electronic payment methods for your convenience. Please note that your trip cannot begin until the balance is paid in full.

Charter Bus Company Seattle offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Seattle and the entire Pacific Northwest, including minibuses, party buses, sprinter vans, school buses, and full-size charter buses. Our minibuses seat 18–35 passengers and are perfect for corporate shuttles, airport transfers, and small group outings. Full-size charter buses can accommodate up to 56 passengers and are ideal for large events, sports teams, and multi-day trips. We also have party buses that seat 10–50+ people, sprinter vans for groups of 8–15, and even school buses for budget-friendly transportation. All vehicles are equipped with modern amenities and can be customized to fit your exact needs.

Our Seattle charter buses come with a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained on the road. Standard features include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, and overhead parcel racks. Most buses also have flat-screen TVs with DVD players, a PA system or wireless microphone, and Bluetooth/AUX connectivity for music. Larger vehicles offer forward-facing seating, USB and 110V power outlets at every row, and free onboard WiFi. Many of our minibuses and full-size coaches have hardwood-style flooring, LED accent lighting, and tinted windows for privacy. If you need something specific—like leather upholstery, upgraded sound systems, or custom branding—just ask! We can match you with a bus that has exactly what you’re looking for.

We recommend booking your Seattle charter bus at least 6–9 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel period (spring, summer, holidays) or involves a special event like a wedding, festival, or sporting event. This gives you the best selection of vehicles and ensures availability. Last-minute bookings are possible, but options may be limited and prices may be higher. Once you have your trip details—dates, destination, headcount—contact us right away to get a quote and lock in your reservation.

Yes, if your charter bus trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel must be a single-room occupancy at a two-star property or better and should be located within a reasonable distance of the group’s lodging or event venue. Driver accommodations are not included in the base rental fee and must be arranged separately. If you need assistance booking a room, our team can recommend hotels that meet the requirements.

No, your charter bus quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip. These additional costs are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid separately. Toll charges will be invoiced after the trip if applicable, and any parking fees required at hotels, venues, or other locations must be paid directly by the customer. Be sure to factor these expenses into your budget when planning your trip.

Seattle has specific regulations regarding charter bus parking, especially in high-traffic areas like downtown and near popular attractions. Designated curb zones for loading and unloading are available at many locations, but short-term and overnight parking can be challenging. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) provides a map of authorized bus zones, and several off-street lots accommodate oversized vehicles. For longer stays, consider facilities near Lumen Field, Seattle Center, or the SODO district. Always check local signage and obtain necessary permits in advance to avoid fines. Contact our team for assistance finding legal and convenient parking options tailored to your itinerary.

Seattle’s public transit system includes Sound Transit light rail and commuter trains, King County Metro buses, Community Transit, and Washington State Ferries. While these options are affordable and useful for individuals, they aren’t ideal for large groups traveling together—especially if you need to stick to a tight schedule or reach destinations outside the main transit corridors. A private charter bus gives your group door-to-door service on your own timetable, with no transfers or missed connections. It’s the easiest way to keep everyone together and on time.

We also serve smaller regional airports and fixed-base operators (FBOs) throughout the Puget Sound area. Curbside pickup and drop-off are available at designated ground transportation zones, and we handle flight delays or schedule changes at no extra cost.
