Kirkland Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Kirkland

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public King County Metro buses with fixed routes, charter buses follow itineraries set by the renter—making them ideal for field trips to Bridle Trails State Park, corporate shuttles between Google’s Kirkland campus and Seattle offices, or wedding guest transport to Woodmark Hotel. Charter buses typically include cushioned seats, overhead storage, undercarriage luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or restrooms.

We provide minibuses (18–35 passengers), full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers), and specialty vehicles like sprinter vans or entertainer coaches serving Kirkland and greater King County. Minibuses are great for small corporate teams commuting between Totem Lake and downtown Bellevue. Full-size coaches handle large groups—such as Lake Washington High School band trips or Microsoft employee shuttles—with ample luggage space and optional restrooms. Specialty vehicles accommodate VIP requests for Seahawks game-day charters or band tour buses with bunks and lounge areas.

Charter bus pricing ranges from $125 to $250+ per hour depending on vehicle size, trip duration, mileage, and seasonal demand. Weekend weddings at Chateau Ste. Michelle may cost more than weekday corporate shuttles due to peak scheduling. Multi-day rentals—for example, transporting a youth sports team to Spokane—are often quoted by day ($1,200–$2,400+) while local transfers within Kirkland might be billed hourly with minimums.

Major pricing factors include total trip mileage, number of service days, bus type/capacity, and timing relative to high-demand periods like summer or holidays. Extra stops outside the main route—such as picking up passengers in Redmond before heading to Seattle—can increase costs. Requests for premium amenities (Wi-Fi, DVD monitors, leather seats) may also impact rates. Last-minute bookings or changes to the itinerary after confirmation could result in additional fees. Parking permits and driver lodging for overnight trips are client responsibilities.

Standard amenities include reclining cloth seats, climate control, reading lights, and overhead parcel racks. Most full-size coaches have Wi-Fi hotspots, power outlets/USB ports at each row, TV screens with DVD player, PA system, and rear lavatory. Minibuses offer basic comfort features but limited luggage space and usually no restroom. Premium options—like flat-screen monitors, individual charging stations, or extra legroom—are available upon request for executive shuttles or long-distance charters. ADA-accessible lifts provided at no additional charge when reserved in advance.

We serve school field trips to museums, corporate commuter shuttles, wedding guest transportation, sports team travel, church retreats, senior outings, and event attendee loops. Examples include Northwest University student groups visiting Seattle Art Museum, Google employee shuttles from South Kirkland Park & Ride, bridal party moves between ceremony and reception venues, Little League tournaments, Sunday services at Overlake Christian Church, and Emerald Downs race day excursions for retirement communities.

We proudly serve all of Kirkland—including Totem Lake, Juanita, Houghton, and Rose Hill—as well as surrounding areas like Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, Woodinville, and Seattle. Our fleet regularly handles trips across King County and statewide destinations such as Tacoma, Everett, Spokane, Yakima, and Vancouver WA. Out-of-state charters to Portland OR or Coeur d’Alene ID are available for conferences or tournament play. No job is too big or too small—from local shuttle loops to cross-country journeys.

You’ll receive a personalized quote within minutes. Review the package, ask questions, and when ready, secure your booking with a deposit. Balance due before departure. Changes to itinerary accommodated subject to availability. Agents provide support every step—making it easy for first-time renters or experienced planners alike.

Most of our Kirkland charter buses come equipped with free onboard Wi-Fi and power outlets at every seat, so you can stay connected and charged throughout your trip. Whether you want to stream music, catch up on emails, or let students use Chromebooks during a field trip, you’ll have reliable internet access while traveling. If your group has specific bandwidth needs—like live video calls for a tech company shuttle—just ask when booking. We’ll make sure your bus has the right connectivity package. For long-distance routes without cellular coverage, we recommend downloading critical files ahead of time.

Yes, you can bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages aboard any Charter Bus Company Kirkland bus. We allow coolers with bottled water, boxed lunches for corporate outings, or pizza delivery for youth sports teams. Please avoid messy or strong-smelling foods that could stain upholstery or bother other passengers. All trash should be collected in bags and removed at the end of the trip. Spills must be cleaned up immediately to prevent damage. If your group plans to eat meals en route—such as catering trays for a wedding party—let us know so we can arrange extra cleanup time if needed.

Service animals accompanying individuals with disabilities are always permitted at no additional charge. Small pets (dogs or cats under 25 pounds) may be allowed on private charters if kept in a secure carrier at all times and approved in advance. The owner is responsible for any messes or damages caused by the animal. Large dogs or exotic pets are generally prohibited due to space and safety concerns. Emotional support animals are evaluated case-by-case depending on group size and trip length. Please disclose any animals when requesting a quote to avoid issues on the day of travel.

If your itinerary changes unexpectedly—such as a wedding ceremony running overtime or a flight delay at SEA—contact our dispatch line immediately. We will do our best to accommodate reasonable extensions based on driver hours and vehicle availability. Additional wait time may incur overtime charges billed in half-hour increments. Significant detours or rescheduling could require a revised contract and payment of difference before continuing service. Communication is key: the sooner we are informed of delays, the more options we have to keep your group moving.

Most full-size charter buses (40+ passengers) include a compact restroom at the rear of the cabin with toilet, hand sanitizer, and waste bin. These are intended for emergency use between planned stops—not as a substitute for regular bathroom breaks. Minibuses and sprinter vans typically do not have onboard facilities due to limited space. For itineraries longer than two hours without access to public restrooms, we recommend reserving a larger coach or scheduling comfort stops at convenient locations like gas stations or rest areas along the route.
