A few of the companies we’ve worked with
accesso ShoWare Center
If you are looking for premier entertainment in the South Sound, the Accesso ShoWare Center is the place to be. This LEED Gold-certified arena serves as the home ice for the Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL) and the home turf for the Tacoma Stars (MASL). Beyond sports, the venue hosts major concerts, family shows like Disney on Ice, and community graduations. Bringing a large group of fans to a T-Birds game? A charter bus rental is the ultimate play. Instead of paying for individual parking spots or trying to find each other in the crowd, your group can arrive together at the drop-off zone, ready to cheer. With plenty of undercarriage storage on our full-size coaches, you can even bring along banners, fan gear, and coolers for a pre-game gathering.

Kent Station
For a more relaxed group outing that combines dining, shopping, and entertainment in one walkable location, Kent Station is the urban village center of the city. This open-air lifestyle center is a popular stop for corporate groups looking for a lunch break or students needing a fun stop after a competition. Your group can catch a blockbuster at the AMC Kent Station 14, grab a bite at Duke's Seafood or The Ram Restaurant & Brewery, and explore local boutiques. Navigating the parking structures here during peak hours or holidays can be frustrating for multiple vehicles. When you book a minibus with Charter Bus Rental Company Kent, your driver can drop your group off right near the plaza fountain, allowing everyone to disperse and explore at their own pace before meeting back at the bus for a comfortable ride home.
Address: 417 Ramsay Way, Kent, WA 98032
Pacific Raceways
For groups with a need for speed, Pacific Raceways offers a legendary motorsport experience. Located just east of Kent, this multipurpose facility features a 2.25-mile road course, a drag strip, and a motocross track. It hosts major events like the NHRA Northwest Nationals, which draw thousands of spectators. Organizing a trip for a car club, a bachelor party, or a corporate adrenaline day? Renting a charter bus to Pacific Raceways ensures that your group stays together amidst the crowds. Our buses offer ample storage space for folding chairs, coolers, and sun shades, making your day at the track comfortable. Plus, after a long day in the sun watching high-speed action, nothing beats relaxing in an air-conditioned cabin while a driver navigates the post-race traffic exiting the venue.
Address: 31001 144th Ave SE, Kent, WA 98042
Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum
Kent is home to one of the most unique museums in the country: the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum. As the only museum in the world dedicated exclusively to powerboat racing, this facility preserves the history of the "Thunderboats" that are iconic to the Pacific Northwest's Seafair traditions. This is an excellent destination for school field trips, engineering students, or senior tour groups interested in maritime history and mechanics. When you book a school trip bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Kent, you can upgrade from the traditional yellow school bus to a modern motorcoach equipped with TV monitors and a DVD player. You can play documentaries about hydroplane racing history while en route, prepping your students for the incredible vintage boats they are about to see.
Address: 5917 S 196th St, Kent, WA 98032
Lake Meridian Park
Located in the East Hill neighborhood, Lake Meridian Park is a crown jewel of the Kent parks system. It is a fantastic destination for company picnics, large family reunions, or summer youth camps. The park features swimming areas, boat launches, fishing docks, and large covered picnic shelters that can be reserved for groups. Transporting food, grilling equipment, volleyball nets, and swimming gear for a large group can be a logistical nightmare in personal cars. A 56-passenger charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Kent offers massive under-bus luggage bays, perfect for stowing all your event supplies. Your group can enjoy a stress-free day by the water, knowing that a safe, cool ride is waiting to take everyone home after the barbecue winds down.
Address: 14800 SE 272nd St, Kent, WA 98030
Green River Natural Resources Area
For nature enthusiasts and educational groups, the Green River Natural Resources Area (GRNRA) offers a massive, 304-acre wildlife refuge right in the city. Originally a wastewater retention site, it has been transformed into a thriving ecosystem for birds and wildlife, featuring miles of biking and walking trails and viewing towers. It is a prime spot for bird-watching clubs, environmental science classes, and photography groups. A charter bus rental is the easiest way to transport your group and their gear—including binoculars, tripods, and even bicycles if arranged in advance—to the trailheads. Your driver can drop your group at one access point and meet you at another, allowing for a flexible one-way hike through this beautiful urban wetland.
Address: 22200 64th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032
Emerald Downs
While technically just across the border in Auburn, Emerald Downs is a staple entertainment destination for residents and visitors of Kent. With live thoroughbred horse racing, a casino floor, and delicious dining options, it is a favorite for adult birthday parties, corporate outings, and social clubs. The venue also hosts popular events like the Corgi Races and fireworks displays. Parking lots at Emerald Downs are expansive, but walking from the far end of the lot can be tiring, especially for senior groups. With a private shuttle bus rental, you get front-door service. Your driver can drop your party right at the main entrance. Enjoy the thrill of the races and perhaps a few cocktails, secure in the knowledge that your designated driver is a friendly ready to transport you comfortably back to Kent.
Address: 2300 300 Ron Crockett Dr, Auburn, WA 98001
Kent Historical Museum
Dive into the local heritage at the Kent Historical Museum, located in the historic 1908 Bereiter House. This destination offers a glimpse into Kent's transformation from a hop-farming community (once known as the "Lettuce Capital of the World") to the aerospace and tech hub it is today. It is a charming stop for small tour groups and history buffs. Because the museum is located in a residential area with limited street parking, a minibus rental is the ideal transportation solution. A compact 20- to 25-passenger bus can navigate the neighborhood streets easily while keeping your group together for a guided tour. Combine this with a visit to the nearby Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks for a full day of culture and art.
Address: 855 E Smith St, Kent, WA 98030

Frequently Asked Questions About Kent Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Kent?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and how far you are traveling. A local trip within Kent using a minibus will cost less than a full-sized motorcoach traveling to Seattle or Portland. For the most accurate pricing, we recommend calling our team at 253-237-8009 with your specific itinerary.
How far in advance should I book my bus in Kent?
To ensure the best availability and pricing, we recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important during peak travel seasons, such as spring (for school trips and proms) and summer (for weddings and family reunions). If your trip involves a major event at the ShoWare Center or Pacific Raceways, booking early helps secure your vehicle before our fleet is fully committed. However, we always try our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.
Is there parking for the bus at these attractions?
Most major attractions in Kent, such as the ShoWare Center, Pacific Raceways, and Lake Meridian Park, have designated areas or ample space for motorcoach parking. However, smaller venues or downtown locations like Kent Station may require the bus to drop passengers off and then park at a staging area nearby. When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Kent, the drivers handle the logistics of parking and staging, ensuring they are nearby and ready to pick you up when your event concludes.
What happens if our trip goes overtime?
We understand that events can run late or itineraries can change on the fly. If your trip exceeds the time booked in your reservation, you will be billed for the additional time at an hourly rate specified in your contract. We always recommend padding your itinerary with a little extra time to account for traffic or extended fun at your destination. If you know you will be running late, please communicate with your driver or our dispatch team as soon as possible so we can adjust accordingly.
