Example #3: A wedding party hires a shuttle to run guests between hotels in Bellevue and a ceremony/reception at Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville. They select a 20-passenger minibus operating on a six-hour loop. The quoted rate is $2,100, and they add a 10% gratuity.

Several key factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Seattle, including the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of your trip (local vs. long-distance), the time of year (peak demand during cruise season, summer events, and holidays), and current availability. Additional expenses such as tolls on SR-520 or I-405 express lanes, ferry fares to Bainbridge or Vashon Island, parking fees at venues like Climate Pledge Arena or T-Mobile Park, and required driver accommodations for multi-day trips will also impact your final price. Large events like Seafair, UW Huskies games, Mariners or Seahawks home stands, graduations, and cruise ship departures can create high-demand periods that affect availability and rates.
