What Amenities Are Included With a Seattle Charter Bus Rental?
Our Seattle charter buses come with a variety of amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained. Standard features include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, and ample luggage space both overhead and under the bus. Most of our buses are equipped with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs with DVD players for onboard entertainment. You’ll also find PA systems for group announcements, USB ports and 110V power outlets at each seat for device charging, and optional amenities like leather upholstery, tray tables, and onboard restrooms. Larger buses may offer additional features such as footrests, window shades, and customizable lighting. If you need something specific—like extra screens, Bluetooth audio, or space for coolers—just ask our team when you book.
Do Your Seattle Charter Buses have Luggage Space?
Yes, our Seattle charter buses have plenty of luggage space. Full-size charter buses offer both overhead compartments inside the cabin and large undercarriage bays below the bus. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase to be stored underneath the bus and one smaller carry-on bag or backpack to be placed in the overhead compartment. Minibuses also have overhead storage and may include a rear luggage area, though space is more limited compared to larger coaches. If your group is traveling with oversized items—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show materials—let us know in advance so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage capacity. We’ve helped groups transport everything from ski gear to band equipment, and we’ll make sure there’s room for all your belongings.
Do Your Seattle Charter Buses have Outlets & Charging Ports?
Yes, most of our Seattle-area charter buses come equipped with 110V power outlets and USB charging ports at every seat. This makes it easy for passengers to keep smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices fully charged throughout the trip. Larger charter buses typically have at least one outlet per row—sometimes two—along with additional USB ports integrated into the seatbacks or armrests. Staying connected and powered up is important for business travelers, students, and anyone who wants to stream music or movies on the road. If having access to power is essential for your group, mention this when you request a quote and we’ll make sure your bus has the necessary outlets and ports. For longer trips or groups with high power demands, we can provide a vehicle with even more robust charging options.
Do Your Seattle Charter Buses have Bathrooms?
Yes, most full-size charter buses in our Seattle fleet come with a clean, private restroom located at the rear of the bus. The onboard bathroom includes a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small sink or wash station. This is convenient for longer trips or routes with limited access to rest areas. Some larger minibuses may also have a restroom, but this varies by model. If having a bathroom on board is important for your group, please let us know when you book so we can assign a vehicle that meets your needs. We’ll confirm whether your specific bus includes a restroom and answer any questions about its size and amenities. For shorter trips within the city, we can schedule regular comfort breaks at facilities along the route.
Do You Offer ADA-Accessible Buses in Seattle?
Yes, Charter Bus Company Seattle offers ADA-accessible bus rentals in Seattle and across King County. Many of our newer-model minibuses and full-size coaches can be equipped with a wheelchair lift, wider aisles, and designated securement areas for passengers with mobility devices. Just let your reservation specialist know you need an ADA-accessible vehicle when you request your quote, and we’ll make sure your bus meets all federal accessibility standards.

How Much Does it Cost To Rent a Charter Bus in Seattle
Charter bus rentals in Seattle typically cost between $170 and $400+ per hour on weekdays and $190 to $500+ per hour on weekends. Daily rates range from $1,800 to $3,800 or more, while mileage-based pricing runs between $6.00 and $9.95 per mile. The final price depends on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, time of year, and any additional amenities or special requests. Short local trips may be billed by the hour, while longer journeys are priced by the day or mile. For the most accurate estimate, contact us with your exact itinerary and group size. We’ll provide a detailed quote that includes all standard fees, so you know exactly what to expect. While bus rentals are a significant investment, they’re often the most cost-effective way to move large groups comfortably and efficiently.
What Factors Affect Charter Bus Pricing in Seattle?
Several factors affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Seattle. The biggest variables are the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the distance and duration of the trip, and the time of year. Peak seasons—such as summer months, holidays, and weekends with major events—tend to have higher rates due to increased demand. Special events like Seahawks, Mariners, or Kraken games, concerts at Climate Pledge Arena, and large conventions can also impact pricing and availability. Additional factors include tolls, parking fees, ferry charges, and any custom amenities requested (such as Wi-Fi, PA systems, or branding). For overnight trips, the cost of the driver’s hotel and meals will be included. Last-minute bookings may incur higher rates, while scheduling in advance can help secure better pricing. Providing a detailed itinerary upfront allows us to give the most accurate and all-inclusive quote.

How do I book a charter bus?
Booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Company Seattle is quick and easy. Start by requesting a free quote online or by calling our 24-hour reservations team at 360-548-6640. Provide details about your trip, including the date, pickup location, destination, group size, and any special requirements. We’ll send you a personalized quote with several vehicle options. Once you’ve reviewed the options and selected the best bus for your group, you can secure the reservation by signing the contract and paying a non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is typically due 30 days before the trip. We accept all major credit cards and provide a secure online portal for managing payments and documents. Our team will confirm the details, assign your vehicle, and remain available for any questions or changes leading up to the trip. It’s a simple, streamlined process designed to get you on the road with minimal hassle.
How far in advance should I book a charter bus in Seattle?
It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel season or coincides with a major event in Seattle. Spring and summer are peak times for weddings, school trips, and sports events, so availability can become limited quickly. Large events like Seahawks, Mariners, or Kraken games, as well as major conventions, can also impact bus availability and pricing. While we can often accommodate last-minute requests, booking early gives you the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive rates. If you’re planning a trip during a slower season or on a weekday, a few weeks’ notice may be sufficient. However, the more lead time you provide, the easier it will be to secure the exact vehicle and schedule you need. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher rates.

Getting a quote from Charter Bus Company Seattle is fast and easy! You can call our team 24/7 at 360-548-6640, or use our online quote form to get an instant estimate in less than 30 seconds.

If you have any questions or need to make changes, our team is available by phone, email, or live chat to assist. We’re happy to provide multiple options and work with you to find a package that fits your budget.
What is Included in my Quote?
Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s time, fuel, and all standard onboard amenities (Wi-Fi, power outlets, PA system, etc.). Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and ferry charges are not included and will be billed separately. For trips requiring an overnight stay, the cost of the driver’s hotel and meals is also not included in the initial quote. Any optional add-ons—such as custom signage, additional luggage space, or special equipment—will be itemized separately. We strive to provide all-inclusive pricing with no extra fees, but it’s important to review the quote carefully and ask about any potential extra charges. Our goal is to make sure you understand exactly what’s included and can budget accordingly.
