A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Juanita Beach Park
If you are looking for the quintessential Kirkland summer experience, look no further than Juanita Beach Park (9703 NE Juanita Dr, Kirkland, WA 98034). This sprawling 22-acre park features a swimming area, a bathhouse, sand volleyball courts, and a massive playground that is perfect for school field trips or family reunions. For corporate groups, the park offers picnic shelters that can be reserved for summer BBQs, providing a relaxed atmosphere for team bonding. However, parking at Juanita Beach can be notoriously difficult, especially on sunny weekends when the lot fills up by mid-morning. By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Kirkland, you eliminate the parking headache entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right at the park entrance near the bathhouse loop, allowing you to stake out your spot on the beach immediately. While you enjoy the water and the walking paths along the boardwalk, your driver will handle the bus parking off-site, returning to pick you up exactly when you are ready to leave. It is the most efficient way to enjoy one of Kirkland’s most popular outdoor destinations.
Marina Park Pavilion
Located in the heart of downtown, Marina Park Pavilion (25 Lakeshore Plaza, Kirkland, WA 98033) is the centerpiece of Kirkland’s waterfront. It serves as a fantastic starting point for groups who want to explore the boutique shops and art galleries along Lake Street or enjoy a meal at local favorites nearby. The park itself offers stunning views of the Seattle skyline and the Olympic Mountains, making it a prime location for wedding photos or tourist groups. If you are planning a boat tour or a private cruise departing from the public dock, a minibus rental is the ideal way to get your group to the water's edge. Downtown Kirkland has strict parking time limits and very few spaces suitable for large vehicles. Charter Bus Rental Company Kirkland solves this by coordinating drop-offs at the designated commercial loading zones nearby. Whether you are attending the Kirkland Summerfest or just enjoying a sunset walk, a private shuttle ensures your group stays together and avoids the stress of downtown gridlock.
Kirkland Performance Center
For groups interested in arts and culture, the Kirkland Performance Center (350 Kirkland Ave, Kirkland, WA 98033) is a must-visit destination. This intimate 394-seat theater hosts everything from musical concerts and comedy shows to community theater productions and film screenings. It is a popular destination for senior center outings, school arts programs, and corporate groups looking for evening entertainment. Coordinating a large group for a show can be tricky, especially when trying to arrive before the curtain rises. With a charter bus rental, you can ensure that all attendees arrive simultaneously, eliminating the risk of latecomers disrupting the performance. The drivers are familiar with the load-in zones along Kirkland Avenue, ensuring a convenient curbside drop-off. After the show, your bus will be waiting to transport everyone to a late-night dinner or back to their accommodations, providing a VIP experience that makes the evening truly special.
Bridle Trails State Park
Nestled between Kirkland and Bellevue, Bridle Trails State Park (5300 116th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98033) is a 489-acre urban forest that feels miles away from the city. As the name suggests, it is famous for its extensive equestrian trails, but it is also a fantastic spot for hiking groups, cross-country teams, and nature enthusiasts. If you are organizing a group hike or a nature study field trip, a charter bus offers ample storage for backpacks, hiking poles, and picnic supplies in the undercarriage bays. Please note that a Discover Pass is required for vehicle access, and navigating the parking lot with a large vehicle requires trained skill. The drivers at Charter Bus Rental Company Kirkland know exactly how to maneuver in state park lots, ensuring a comfortable arrival. Whether you are hosting a company wellness retreat or a scout troop outing, Bridle Trails offers a serene escape, and we provide reliable transportation to get you there comfortably.
The Village at Totem Lake
The Village at Totem Lake (12601 120th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98034) has transformed into Kirkland’s premier lifestyle center, featuring upscale shopping, a state-of-the-art cinema, and a wide variety of dining options ranging from casual eateries to fine dining. It is an excellent destination for youth groups, shopping tours, or corporate teams looking for a "dinner and a movie" night. With a private charter bus rental, you can easily transport your group to The Village for a day of shopping or an evening of entertainment. While there is a parking garage on-site, keeping a large caravan of cars together can be confusing in such a busy complex. A charter bus simplifies the logistics by dropping your group near the central plaza or the cinema entrance. Your group can split up to shop at stores like Lululemon or grab ice cream at Salt & Straw, then meet back at the bus at a pre-designated time. It’s the ultimate convenience for a modern group outing.
Carillon Point
Carillon Point (2000 Carillon Point, Kirkland, WA 98033) is one of the most upscale waterfront destinations in the region, home to the Woodmark Hotel, fine dining establishments, and a beautiful marina. It is a top choice for high-end corporate retreats, wedding receptions, and executive meetings. If you are hosting VIP clients or transporting a wedding party to the Woodmark, you need transportation that reflects the elegance of the venue. Charter Bus Rental Company Kirkland offers sleek, modern motorcoaches and minibuses that provide a professional aesthetic and superior comfort. We can arrange shuttle services between Carillon Point and Sea-Tac Airport or downtown Seattle hotels, ensuring your guests travel in style. The dedicated round-about and valet areas at Carillon Point are designed for smooth traffic flow, and the drivers are experts at executing seamless pickups and drop-offs in these high-traffic luxury environments.
Heritage Hall
For history buffs and those planning intimate events, Heritage Hall (203 Market St, Kirkland, WA 98033) is a gem located on the edge of Heritage Park. This neoclassical building, built in 1904, is a popular venue for weddings, reunions, and historical society meetings. Its proximity to downtown makes it accessible, yet parking specifically for the venue can be limited during peak park hours. By booking a wedding shuttle or event bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Kirkland, you ensure that your guests have door-to-door service without the worry of finding street parking on Market Street. We can run continuous shuttles from nearby hotels, ensuring that your elderly guests or those with mobility issues are dropped off right at the front steps. Heritage Hall offers a glimpse into Kirkland’s past, and we provide the modern transportation solution to make your event there a success.
Northwest University
Located in the Houghton neighborhood, Northwest University (5520 108th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98033) is a private Christian university that draws visitors for campus tours, athletic events, and academic conferences. If you are a high school counselor planning a campus visit for prospective students, a charter bus rental is the best way to keep the group organized. We can pick up your students from their high school and transport them directly to the admissions office or the chapel for their tour. For visiting sports teams playing against the NU Eagles, our full-size charter buses offer plenty of undercarriage storage for equipment and gear bags, allowing athletes to relax in reclining seats before the game. We can also provide shuttle services for large conferences hosted on campus, connecting attendees with local hotels and restaurants in downtown Kirkland.
