A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Shuttle Services
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, affectionately known as Sea-Tac (17801 International Blvd, Seattle, WA 98158), is the primary gateway for travelers heading to Bellevue. Located approximately 17 miles south of downtown Bellevue, the journey typically takes about 25 to 45 minutes, depending heavily on the time of day and the notorious traffic congestion on Interstate 405. When you book a private charter bus with Charter Bus Bellevue, you gain the advantage of a driver who knows the ins and outs of these highways, utilizing HOV lanes where applicable to get your group to your destination efficiently.
Navigating Sea-Tac with a large group can be daunting. The airport is one of the busiest in the nation. Instead of splitting your group into five or six different rideshare vehicles and hoping everyone arrives at the hotel at the same time, a private shuttle consolidates your arrival. We monitor flight statuses to ensure your driver is ready when you land. For pickups, the drivers utilize the designated charter bus loading zones, usually located on the lower drive or within specific commercial vehicle lanes, keeping you away from the chaotic passenger pickup curb. We ensure there is ample room for every suitcase, golf bag, or piece of equipment in the undercarriage storage of our large coaches, leaving the cabin clutter-free for you to stretch out and relax.
King County International Airport (Boeing Field) Transfers
For many corporate executives, private charter flights, and sports teams, King County International Airport—commonly known as Boeing Field (7277 Perimeter Rd S, Seattle, WA 98108)—is the preferred point of entry. Located closer to the city center and just a short drive up I-5 and I-90 to Bellevue, Boeing Field offers a more streamlined, private experience compared to the hustle of Sea-Tac. Charter Bus Bellevue is well-versed in the specific protocols of private aviation transfers at this historic airfield.
We regularly service the private FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) at Boeing Field, such as Clay Lacy Aviation or Kenmore Aero Services. Because security protocols and tarmac access differ here, our team coordinates directly with your flight crew or FBO staff to ensure a seamless transition from the jet bridge to the bus steps. Whether you require a sleek sprinter van with leather seating for a board of directors or a minibus for a visiting university athletic team, we provide discreet, professional service. Your driver will be waiting on-site before your wheels touch the ground, ensuring zero wait time so you can head straight to your meetings in downtown Bellevue or your accommodations at the Hyatt Regency.
Paine Field (PAE) Group Transportation
Located north of Bellevue in Everett, Paine Field (3220 100th St SW, Everett, WA 98204) has become an increasingly popular option for commercial travelers looking to avoid the congestion of Sea-Tac. For groups staying in Northern Bellevue, Kirkland, or Redmond, flying into PAE can shave significant time off your commute. Charter Bus Bellevue provides reliable shuttle services connecting Paine Field to the entire Eastside region.
Paine Field is a smaller, more intimate airport, which makes the pickup process incredibly swift. However, ground transportation options on-site can be limited for larger groups. Pre-booking a charter bus ensures you aren't left waiting. We can transport your wedding guests, corporate team, or tour group from the terminal directly to venues like the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville or the Microsoft Campus in Redmond. The drive from Paine Field to Bellevue typically involves traveling south on I-5 and I-405; the drivers can time this route to avoid the peak rush hour snarls near the Bothell and Woodinville interchanges.
Corporate Airport Shuttles for Bellevue Businesses
Bellevue is a booming business hub, home to headquarters for major tech companies like T-Mobile and significant offices for Amazon, Microsoft, and Salesforce. Business travel requires precision, punctuality, and productivity. Charter Bus Bellevue offers specialized corporate airport shuttle services designed to meet the high standards of the business world. Whether you are organizing a shuttle for a massive conference at the Meydenbauer Center (11100 NE 6th St, Bellevue, WA 98004) or moving a small executive team, we have the right vehicle.
Your team shouldn't have to stop working just because they are in transit. Our corporate charter buses come equipped with essential amenities to keep your team connected. With onboard WiFi and individual power outlets at every seat, your employees can answer emails, finish presentations, or conduct conference calls while en route from the airport. We can organize recurring shuttle routes between SEA and your Bellevue office, or one-off transfers for special quarterly meetings. By providing a private shuttle, you eliminate the stress of expense reports for individual taxis and ensure the entire team arrives focused and refreshed.
The Benefits of a Private Airport Charter vs. Rideshare
When planning travel for a group, the default option is often to have everyone "grab an Uber." However, when you do the math and consider the logistics, a private charter bus rental in Bellevue is often superior in terms of cost, convenience, and comfort. Rideshare surge pricing at Sea-Tac can be unpredictable and exorbitant, especially during peak travel times or inclement weather. Furthermore, standard rideshare vehicles cannot accommodate the luggage requirements of a group traveling for a ski trip to the Cascades or a week-long convention.
With a Charter Bus Bellevue rental, your price is fixed. You receive a transparent quote upfront, with no extra fees or surge pricing surprises. You also gain the benefit of cohesion. There is no risk of one car getting lost, another getting stuck in a different traffic jam, and half your group waiting in the hotel lobby for 45 minutes. Everyone travels together. Additionally, the comfort level is unmatched. Instead of squeezing into the middle seat of a sedan, your group enjoys high-back reclining seats, climate control, ample legroom, and the convenience of a driver at the wheel.
Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Airport Transfer
Selecting the right vehicle is crucial for a smooth airport transfer. At Charter Bus Bellevue, we maintain a diverse fleet to accommodate groups of all shapes and sizes. For small groups of executives or VIPs (10-14 passengers), our Sprinter vans are the perfect blend of agility and luxury. They offer ample headroom and a smooth ride, perfect for quick transfers to downtown Bellevue hotels like The Westin or W Bellevue.
For mid-sized groups, such as wedding parties or extended families (18-35 passengers), our minibuses are the ideal solution. They are compact enough to navigate city streets easily but spacious enough to provide a comfortable ride without feeling cramped. For large groups, such as school bands, sports teams, or large conventions (up to 56 passengers), our full-sized motorcoaches are the industry standard. These buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays capable of holding weeks' worth of suitcases and equipment, along with onboard restrooms to minimize stops. No matter which vehicle you choose, you can rest assured that it is modern, clean, and equipped with modern safety features.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bellevue Airport Transportation
How far in advance should I book my airport charter bus?
We generally recommend booking your airport transfer as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For peak travel seasons, such as summer and major holidays, booking 3 to 6 months in advance is advisable to ensure vehicle availability. However, we understand that plans change and last-minute trips happen. Charter Bus Bellevue is available 24/7/365, and we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Call us at 509-381-3214 to check availability instantly.
What happens if our flight is delayed?
We understand that air travel can be unpredictable. When you book with Charter Bus Bellevue, we ask for your flight information so our dispatch team can monitor 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 include a grace period in our airport transfer packages to account for standard delays in deplaning and baggage claim.
How much luggage can we bring on the bus?
The luggage capacity depends on the type of vehicle you rent. A full-sized 56-passenger charter bus has extensive undercarriage storage bays that can typically accommodate one large suitcase per passenger, plus overhead bins for personal carry-on items. Minibuses have less storage space, often a dedicated rear compartment that can fit a standard amount of luggage for the passenger count. If your group has excessive luggage, musical instruments, or sports equipment (like skis or hockey gear), please let our reservation specialists know when you call so we can recommend the correct bus size for your needs.
Can the bus pick us up right at the curb?
Pickup locations vary by airport due to security regulations and traffic flow management. At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), charter buses typically pick up at designated locations on the lower arrivals drive or specifically marked commercial vehicle zones. At smaller airports like Boeing Field (BFI) or Paine Field (PAE), curbside pickup is often easier to facilitate. Once you book, your reservation confirmation will include specific instructions on where to meet your driver, and you will have the driver's contact information to coordinate the meetup seamlessly.
Is the cost of the bus rental per person or per hour?
Our charter bus rentals are priced per vehicle, not per person. This often makes renting a bus extremely cost-effective for larger groups compared to buying individual tickets for shuttles or rideshares. Pricing is usually based on an hourly rate or a flat transfer fee depending on the itinerary. When you call Charter Bus Bellevue at 509-381-3214, we will provide a transparent, all-inclusive quote based on your specific trip details, so you know exactly what the total cost will be.
