We offer everything from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coachbuilders, to full-size 40- to 56-passenger charter buses and motorcoaches from MCI, Van Hool, Setra, and Prevost. We also have 10- to 50-passenger party buses from Krystal, Grech, Tiffany, LGE, and Executive Coach Builders, plus sprinter vans, shuttle buses, ADA-accessible vehicles, and even school buses. Every vehicle comes loaded with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, luggage storage, PA systems, and more—so you can customize your ride for comfort, productivity, or entertainment.

Charter bus rental prices in Kirkland depend on several factors, including the type of bus, trip distance, duration, time of year, and any special requests. For example, a 56-passenger coach bus costs $145-$550+ per hour, $1,520-$5,000+ per day, or $6.00-$9.95 per mile. Minibuses are $150-$450+ per hour, $1,520-$3,465+ per day, or $4.00-$9.95 per mile. Party buses run $180-$500+ per hour on weekdays ($200-$520+ weekends) or $1,000-$3,900+ per day. Sprinter vans are $160-$400+ per hour on weekdays ($180-$450+ weekends) or $1,000-$3,900+ per day.

Several variables impact your final quote: bus size (minibuses usually cost less than full-size coaches), trip length (both mileage and total hours), number of days, pickup/drop-off locations, and seasonality. Peak months like May-June (wedding and graduation season) and September-December (holiday parties, Seahawks games) tend to be more expensive due to higher demand. Additional amenities such as extra luggage space, premium AV systems, or onboard restrooms may also influence pricing. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to provide us with your full itinerary—including headcount, addresses, and schedule—so we can match you with the right vehicle at the best rate.
