Charter Bus Rentals in Seattle, Washington

Why Rent a Bus in Seattle?

If you’re planning to visit Seattle or you're planning a group event around the city, you’ll need to lock down how you’ll be traveling. Choosing the best mode of transportation depends on factors like your group size and itinerary. Thankfully, Seattle has a few options for you to choose from.

• Public transportation: Seattle has a robust public transportation system with several agencies serving the area. Collectively, the Seattle metro area has a bus system, light rail, monorail, streetcar, ferry, and water taxi. Fares usually start around $1-3 per ride, depending on the type of public transport you choose. Using Seattle public transit can be an affordable way to travel for groups, but you may have a hard time navigating the system if you’re out-of-towners.
• Taxis and rideshare services: Hailing a taxi or rideshare services like Uber or Lyft is one of the easiest ways to travel to destinations like SEA Airport. Both modes of transportation can be called  when and where you need them. Rideshares and taxis are also usually private rides, making them good options for travelers who don’t want to deal with the crowds and hassles associated with public transport. Large groups of travelers may have to hail more than one taxi or rideshare to accommodate your group’s size.
• Private Seattle charter bus rental: A private bus rental can be one of the best ways to travel for groups on a tight schedule or those with a large number of passengers. Shofur bus rental services are customized to your exact schedule, and you’ll be paired with a model that’s suited to your passenger count. You can reserve a sprinter van, minibus, or charter bus rental with premium amenities like WiFi and TVs. Groups traveling on a tight budget may find that traveling by charter bus rental can get expensive. Although renting a bus in Seattle can be an expensive way to travel, it is the most convenient and comfortable option for big groups.
