Employee Shuttle Services in Seattle

An employee shuttle service in Seattle can be a game-changer when it comes to employee morale and beating rush hour traffic. Whether you want transportation for stressed-out commuters who need to battle traffic on I-5 or SR 520, or you’re interested in arranging a daily company shuttle that hops between popular Link light rail stations like Westlake Station and Capitol Hill Station, we can help you organize private office transportation.

Employees will be grateful for the time to read or listen to music during the commute, enjoy a quick transfer from a rail station to the office, or even enjoy a premium group ride to a corporate event. Book a charter bus and safely transport employees to the Seattle Convention Center (900 Pine St, Seattle, WA 98101) for an industry conference, the Seattle Sailing Club (7001 Seaview Ave NW #130, Seattle, WA 98117) for a team-building event on the Puget Sound, or to Canlis (2576 Aurora Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109) for a business lunch bound to wow clients or investors.

Shuttle Buses for Seattle Wedding Transportation

If you don’t want to worry about your guests traveling on your wedding day, then a Seattle wedding shuttle service is for you. Whether you’re throwing a stylish bash at The Ruins (570 Roy St, Seattle, WA 98109) or hosting a fancy affair at the Olympic Rooftop Pavilion (5214 Ballard Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98107), a private shuttle service can easily transport out-of-town guests staying downtown. Given the city’s traffic and limited parking options, a shuttle service can make a quick trip out of transferring guests from the Ballard Hotel to the Olympic Rooftop Pavilion.

If your ceremony and reception are held at different venues (like St. James Cathedral (804 9th Ave, Seattle, WA 98104) and The Ruins, for example) shuttle service can transport guests through the gridlock of downtown. You can customize the route for your service (like via 4th Ave, 6th Ave, or Boren Ave and Mercer St—depending on the traffic that day), and your schedule to best suit the needs of your day. Need a running shuttle service from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. to cover transportation to and from your ceremony and reception? We can make it happen.

Bus Rentals for Seattle School Field Trips

Students and teachers alike love renting a charter bus for a field trip in Seattle. With us, you can easily plan a school field trip to a popular destination like the Woodland Park Zoo (5500 Phinney Ave N., Seattle, WA 98103), where there are six first-come, first-served parking spaces in the Lion lot for oversized vehicles like a charter bus—and it’s easy to pay for parking at the self-serve kiosks on site. While the zoo can’t guarantee a parking spot, there’s an alternate (and free!) parking location the Lower Woodland Park, but it’s not monitored by zoo security staff. If you need to, your driver can drop off you and your students at the South Entrance (750 N. 50th Street Seattle, WA 98103), then proceed to Lower Woodland Park until it’s time for pickup.

You can also easily plan a field trip to Seattle Center (305 Harrison St, Seattle, WA 98109), which provides clear parking guidance for charter buses. According to the Seattle Center’s charter bus parking map, there are two locations for 15 minutes parking—one on Warren Ave N. and another on Mercer Street. There’s also a location for three-hour bus parking on 4th Ave N., alongside the Seattle Opera Center. If you need to park for a longer time, or you’re attending during a busy event, it’s best to contact the venue with Seattle Center to confirm your parking options and pickup/drop-off location.

Sports Team Transportation in Seattle

Book a charter bus with us for breezy sports team transportation in the Seattle area. From group transportation for a little league team traveling to a regional tournament to renting a charter bus for an out-of-town team heading to Husky Stadium (3800 Montlake Blvd NE, Seattle, WA 98105) for a college football game, athletes and coaches will feel comfortable traveling all together aboard a private charter bus.

We can also provide game-day transportation for private groups who want to travel to a Seattle sports venue together. Visiting Lumen Field (800 Occidental Ave. S., Seattle, WA 98134) to catch a Seahawks game? Plan for a group pick-up and drop off at Royal Brougham Way or Occidental Ave for a smooth visit. Parking for oversized vehicles isn’t provided on site, so plan accordingly by calling and making arrangements ahead of time. Planning a trip to T-Mobile Park (1250 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134)? Your group can be dropped off at Edgar Martinez Drive S., and you call ahead to reserve a parking spot for your bus rental 10 business days before the game you’re attending.

Frequently Asked Questions About Seattle Charter Bus Rentals

How far in advance should I reserve my Seattle bus rental?

You can call us to book as far in advance as you’d like, and it’s best to book no later than 2-3 months before your trip to ensure availability. Bus rentals tend to be booked up fast during peak seasons (like for summer tours and winter holidays), and before major events like Seahawks gamedays and large conventions.

Can a charter bus reach Bainbridge Island and other locations across the Puget Sound?

Yes. Oversized vehicles, like a charter bus, can fill out an Oversized/Overweight Vehicle Travel Request form to get approval prior to boarding a Washington State Ferry. However, please be aware that boarding is first-come, first-serve, and the request form does not include a reservation—it’s just to ensure that your bus model meets the safety and size requirements for travel. Your driver will board the ferry at Colman Dock (Pier 52), you’ll pay the fare at the toll booth, and then you’ll wait for instructions to board. It’s best to arrive as early as possible to ensure passage.

What are the busiest traffic times in Seattle that I should avoid?

Rush hours in Seattle are typically between 7am to 9am and 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm—especially along I-5, SR-520, and Mercer Street. We recommend planning group departures outside of these windows when it’s possible or otherwise add 15 to 30 minutes of buffer time if traveling in the city during these times is unavoidable.

Are permits required for charter buses in Seattle?

No, there’s no special permit needed to operate within city limits, but charter buses are required to obey any posted parking or travel restrictions and use designated loading zones for pickups and drop-offs.

Are there any restrictions on idling or waiting in Seattle?

Yes, vehicles over 10,000 lbs. can’t idle for longer than 5 minutes other than active passenger loading/unloading.
