Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Bellevue, Washington

A charter bus is a large vehicle that’s booked by a private group to travel together on a custom schedule. It typically seats 40–56 passengers and comes with amenities like cushioned seats, Wi-Fi, power outlets, TVs, DVD players, restrooms, and luggage storage. Unlike public buses, charters don’t follow fixed routes—they go wherever the group wants. People use them for field trips to places like the Bellevue Botanical Garden, corporate shuttles between offices in Downtown Bellevue and Seattle, wedding transportation to venues such as The Woodhouse Wine Estates, or sports team travel for games at Bannerwood Park.

We provide several types of buses so you can find the right fit for your group size and trip needs. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (40–56 seats) from brands like Prevost, Van Hool, Setra, MCI, and Temsa—all built within the last 10 years. Smaller groups can book minibuses that seat 18, 24, 28, or 35 passengers with high-back cloth or vinyl seats and overhead racks. For VIP corporate or celebrity moves, ask about executive sprinters with leather captain’s chairs, tables, and extra legroom. We also have ADA-accessible options with wheelchair lifts upon request.

The average cost of renting a charter bus in Bellevue ranges from $1,200 to $2,500 per day depending on size, mileage, and trip length. Local single-day trips under 150 miles usually fall between $1,100 and $1,800 total. Multi-day out-of-state charters to Portland or Spokane may run $3,000–$6,000+ depending on distance and hotel nights. Minibuses are cheaper at $700–$1,400 per day. Rates are highest during peak season (May–June for graduations, September for Huskies football) and lowest in winter. Get an instant quote by calling our office with your exact itinerary.

Major pricing factors include total trip mileage, number of days, bus size/type, and timing. Longer trips cost more because of fuel and driver hours—for example, a weekend charter to Leavenworth is pricier than a local shuttle around Bellevue Square. Bigger buses with premium features (restroom, Wi-Fi) have higher base rates. Peak demand periods like summer wedding season or Microsoft corporate events increase prices due to limited availability. Additional costs may come from overnight lodging for drivers (required if the trip exceeds daily hour limits), optional amenities upgrades, and tolls/parking fees not included in base quote.

Booking is simple: call our office at 253-563-9160 or fill out the online form with your trip details. We’ll ask for pickup date/time, location (address), destination(s), return info, group size, and any special requests (ADA, Wi-Fi, etc.). You’ll get a free quote within minutes. If you approve, sign the contract electronically and pay a deposit to reserve. Final payment is due before departure. Last-minute bookings less than 72 hours out are possible but subject to availability—best to reserve 4–6 weeks ahead for large events like Emerald Downs race day or Seafair weekend.

Standard amenities on full-size coaches include reclining cloth seats, individual reading lights, climate control, TV monitors with DVD player, PA system, onboard restroom, Wi-Fi hotspot, USB/power outlets, overhead parcel racks, and underfloor luggage bays. Minibuses have padded bench or bucket seats, A/C, and limited storage. Premium features like leather upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, card tables, or extra-large video screens are available on select models for corporate/VIP charters. ADA buses come with wheelchair lift and designated securement area. Custom branding (window signs, headrest covers) offered for company shuttles.

We serve all kinds of groups including school field trips (elementary classes visiting KidsQuest Children’s Museum), sports teams (Little League baseball traveling to regional tournaments), wedding parties shuttling guests between ceremony and reception at Meydenbauer Center, corporate employee transportation for tech companies like T-Mobile or SAP Concur, church retreats heading to Cascade Mountains campsites, senior citizen outings from assisted living facilities, and political rallies or protest marches requiring mass transit support. Any organization needing reliable point-to-point group travel can benefit from chartering a bus.
