A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Navigating Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
While it carries the name of both major cities, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (commonly known as Sea-Tac) acts as the primary gateway for anyone visiting Tacoma. Located approximately 22 miles north of downtown Tacoma, the transit between SEA and Tacoma can take anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour, depending on the notorious I-5 traffic. When you book a private charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma, you skip the stress of the drive entirely.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Address: 17801 International Blvd, Seattle, WA 98158
Coordinating a pickup at Sea-Tac requires local knowledge. The airport is one of the busiest in the nation, and curbside regulations are strictly enforced. When you book with us, we coordinate with your group to meet at the designated Charter Bus and Airporter loading zones, typically located on the lower drive of the parking garage or specific curbside areas depending on the size of your vehicle. We monitor your flights in real-time, ensuring that whether you land early or face delays, your driver is waiting for you. Instead of splitting your group into five different rideshares and hoping everyone arrives at the Hotel Murano or the Greater Tacoma Convention Center at the same time, you all travel together in a climate-controlled motorcoach with plenty of luggage space.
Private Aviation at Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW)
For corporate groups, executives, and private charters looking to avoid the hustle of Sea-Tac, Tacoma Narrows Airport in Gig Harbor is a fantastic alternative. Located just across the Narrows Bridge from Tacoma, this airport offers a more relaxed, VIP experience. However, because it is located on the peninsula, arranging ground transportation back to the Tacoma city center is vital.
Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW) Address: 1202 26th Ave NW, Gig Harbor, WA 98335
Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma specializes in executive sprinter van and minibus rentals perfect for pickups at TIW. We can arrange for your driver to meet your private aircraft on the tarmac (subject to FBO regulations) or curbside at the terminal. Once your group is onboard, you can enjoy the scenic drive across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, taking in the stunning water views while connecting to the onboard WiFi to catch up on emails. Whether you are heading to a meeting at the Tacoma Financial Center or a retreat in Point Defiance Park, we provide the white-glove service your VIPs expect.
The Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma Airport Transfer Experience
What sets Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma apart is our commitment to a "people-first" travel experience. We know that air travel can be exhausting. Between security lines, cramped airplane seats, and baggage claim carousels, the last thing you want to do is navigate an unfamiliar public transit system or wait in long taxi queues. When you book a private airport shuttle with us, your relaxation begins the moment you step off the plane.
Our fleet includes vehicles equipped with premium amenities designed to help you recharge. Relax in plush, reclining seats with extra legroom—a luxury you likely didn't have on the plane! Use the power outlets at your seat to charge your phone or laptop so you are ready to go upon arrival. Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays, meaning you don't have to sit with a suitcase on your lap. From 56-passenger motorcoaches for large conventions to 25-passenger minibuses for wedding parties, we have the right vehicle to accommodate your passenger count and luggage volume comfortably.
Seamless Connections to Tacoma Cruise Terminals & Ferries
Tacoma and the surrounding Puget Sound area are hubs for maritime travel. Many groups fly into Sea-Tac with the intention of catching a cruise or a ferry to the islands. Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma provides seamless land-to-sea transfers. If you are embarking on a cruise from the nearby Seattle terminals or catching a ferry from the Point Defiance Ferry Terminal to Tahlequah, we bridge the gap between the airport and the water.
Point Defiance Ferry Terminal Address: 5810 N Pearl St, Tacoma, WA 98407
We ensure your group arrives with plenty of time to board. There is nothing more stressful than worrying about missing a boat departure due to traffic. The drivers are local experts who know the best routes to avoid congestion on Pearl Street or Ruston Way. We can drop your group right at the ferry landing or cruise terminal curbside, handling your luggage and ensuring a smooth transition from the bus to the boat.
Corporate Shuttles to Downtown Tacoma and Convention Centers
Tacoma is a thriving business hub, and we regularly partner with companies to provide corporate shuttle services from the airport. If you are flying in a team for a major conference at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center, rely on us to get them there professionally and punctually.
Greater Tacoma Convention Center Address: 1500 Commerce St, Tacoma, WA 98402
First impressions matter. Picking up your clients or colleagues in a sleek, modern charter bus sends a message of professionalism. On the ride from the airport, your team can utilize the onboard WiFi to finalize presentations, conduct briefings, or simply network in a private setting. We can also set up recurring shuttle routes between airport hotels near Sea-Tac and your Tacoma offices or event venues, ensuring that no one is left stranded or reimbursing expensive cab fares. Whether you are staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Tacoma Downtown or the Silver Cloud Hotel Tacoma at Point Ruston Waterfront, we provide door-to-door service that keeps your business moving.
Wedding Guest Transportation for Out-of-Town Visitors
Tacoma is home to beautiful wedding venues, from the historic Thornewood Castle to the industrial-chic Foss Waterway Seaport. If you have guests flying in from across the country, don't leave them to fend for themselves on I-5. Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma offers comprehensive wedding shuttle packages that include airport pickups.
We can organize a dedicated shuttle to pick up guests at Sea-Tac and transport them directly to their hotels in Tacoma. This is a thoughtful touch that your guests will appreciate, especially those unfamiliar with the Pacific Northwest. It ensures that everyone arrives at the hotel comfortably, settles in, and is ready for the rehearsal dinner or welcome drinks. We can create a custom schedule that groups arrivals together, maximizing your budget while minimizing wait times for your loved ones. Let us handle the logistics so you can focus on your big day.
School Field Trips and University Tours
For educational groups flying into the region for competitions, campus tours, or field trips, comfort and organization are paramount. Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma is a trusted provider for school districts and universities. Whether you are a high school band landing at Sea-Tac for a competition at the Tacoma Dome or a group of prospective students touring the University of Washington Tacoma or the University of Puget Sound, we have the fleet to accommodate you.
Tacoma Dome Address: 2727 E D St, Tacoma, WA 98421
Our buses are of the highest safety standards. We understand that organizing a school trip involves managing headcounts, luggage, and instruments or equipment. Our full-size charter buses offer ample storage and overhead bins to keep the aisles clear. Plus, with onboard entertainment systems (DVD players and monitors), you can keep students entertained during the drive from the airport to your Tacoma destination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tacoma Airport Transportation
How far in advance should I book my airport charter bus?
We generally recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For peak travel seasons (summer and holidays), booking 3 to 6 months in advance is ideal to ensure availability of your preferred vehicle size. However, we know last-minute trips happen! Our 24/7 reservation team at 425-249-9781 is always available to help you secure a bus, even on short notice.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma, we ask for your flight information so we can track your arrival status in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the driver's schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you land. You won't be left stranded; we build flexibility into our airport transfer services for exactly this reason.
How much luggage can we bring on the bus?
One of the biggest advantages of renting a charter bus is the storage capacity! A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach features spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can typically accommodate one large suitcase per passenger, plus overhead bins for carry-on items. If you are renting a minibus or sprinter van, storage space is more limited. Be sure to let our reservation specialist know how much luggage your group will have so we can match you with the perfect vehicle.
Can the bus pick us up curbside at Sea-Tac?
Yes, but there are specific protocols. Sea-Tac Airport has designated zones for charter buses and airporters to load and unload passengers. Depending on the current airport regulations and traffic levels, your driver will likely pick you up at the designated Charter Bus area, often located near the ground transportation center or on the lower arrivals drive. We will provide you with specific instructions on where to meet your driver after you land to ensure a smooth connection.
Do you offer service to airports other than Sea-Tac?
Absolutely! While Sea-Tac (SEA) is the primary hub, Charter Bus Rental Company Tacoma provides service to all regional airports. We frequently service Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW) for private aviation groups, as well as Boeing Field (BFI) and Paine Field (PAE) if your itinerary brings you further north. No matter which runway you land on, we can be there to drive you to Tacoma.
