A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Hockey Action at the accesso ShoWare Center
If you are looking for hard-hitting action on the ice, look no further than the accesso ShoWare Center, the proud home of the Seattle Thunderbirds. As a member of the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Thunderbirds deliver high-caliber junior hockey that rivals professional atmospheres. The arena, located at 625 W James St, Kent, WA 98032, is a state-of-the-art facility that hosts thousands of screaming fans on game nights. Navigating the parking lots during a sold-out rivalry game against the Portland Winterhawks or the Everett Silvertips can be a chaotic experience. By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Kent, your group can bypass the stress of finding multiple parking spots and enjoy curbside drop-off right at the main entrance.
Our charter buses are perfect for hockey fan clubs traveling together. Instead of coordinating a caravan of ten different cars, keep your group united in one climate-controlled vehicle. Utilize the onboard PA system to chant team songs, or use the flat-screen TVs to watch highlight reels from previous seasons as you approach the arena. For youth hockey teams traveling to Kent for tournaments hosted at the ShoWare Center or the nearby Kent Valley Ice Centre, our full-size motorcoaches offer massive undercarriage storage bays. This means plenty of room for oversized hockey bags, sticks, and goalie pads, keeping the aisles clear for players to stretch out and mentally prepare for the game. Call us today to secure your ride to the next puck drop!
High-Speed Thrills at Pacific Raceways
For those who prefer the roar of engines and the smell of burning rubber, Pacific Raceways is a legendary destination located just east of Kent. Situated at 31001 144th Ave SE, Kent, WA 98042, this multipurpose motorsports facility features a 2.25-mile road course and a drag strip that hosts major NHRA national events. Whether you are bringing a corporate group for a day at the driving school or a large group of spectators for the NHRA Northwest Nationals, traffic congestion leading into the raceway on event days is notorious. A private shuttle bus rental is the ultimate hack for race fans who want to maximize their time at the track and minimize their time sitting in gridlock.
When you book a bus rental in Kent for a day at Pacific Raceways, you elevate the entire experience. Our buses come with comfortable, reclining seats and powerful air conditioning—a must-have during the hot summer race weekends. You can pack coolers with cold drinks and snacks to store on the bus, giving you a comfortable home base to return to if the noise and heat trackside become too much. We also handle transportation for amateur racing teams and pit crews who need reliable shuttles between their hotels in downtown Kent and the track. With Charter Bus Rental Company Kent, you can enjoy the high-speed thrills without the high-stress travel. Let the drivers handle the winding roads while you discuss the day's qualifiers with your group.
Horse Racing Excitement at Emerald Downs
Just minutes from the heart of Kent lies Emerald Downs, the premier thoroughbred horse racing track in the Pacific Northwest. Located at 2300 Ron Crockett Dr, Auburn, WA 98001, this venue is a favorite for bachelor parties, family reunions, and corporate outings. The thrill of the race, the majestic views of Mount Rainier, and the lively atmosphere make it a top-tier destination. However, coordinating a large group for a day at the races can be tricky, especially when libations are involved. A party bus rental or minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Kent ensures that everyone in your group has a reliable designated driver for the entire day.
Imagine rolling up to the grandstand in a stylish charter bus, ready to place your bets and cheer on your favorite horse. Our buses allow your group to start the festivities early with onboard music systems and comfortable seating arrangements that encourage conversation.

After a day of excitement and hopefully some winning tickets, your driver will be waiting to take everyone safely to dinner or back to their accommodations. Don't gamble on your transportation—bet on Charter Bus Rental Company Kent for a sure win.
Soccer and Rugby at Starfire Sports
Located on the border of Kent and Tukwila, Starfire Sports is the epicenter of soccer and rugby in the region. Address: 14800 Starfire Way, Tukwila, WA 98188. As the training facility for the Seattle Sounders FC and the home stadium for the Seattle Seawolves of Major League Rugby (MLR), this complex draws athletes and fans from all over the country. If you are a visiting team traveling for a tournament, you know that logistics can make or break your performance. Charter Bus Rental Company Kent provides dedicated team transportation that keeps your roster together, focused, and on schedule. We have extensive experience navigating the complex's layout and can ensure hassle-free drop-offs near your specific field.
For fans of the Seattle Seawolves, renting a bus for a rugby match is a fantastic way to build community spirit. Rugby matches at Starfire are known for their electric, intimate atmosphere. Gather your local rugby club or group of friends and head to the stadium in a minibus equipped with WiFi and power outlets. You can post photos of the match in real-time or stream commentary without draining your phone battery. For larger tournaments involving multiple youth teams, our fleet capabilities allow us to mobilize multiple full-size coaches, ensuring that hundreds of players, parents, and coaches are transported efficiently between their Kent hotels and the Starfire complex.
The Gateway to Seattle Pro Sports
One of the biggest advantages of staying in Kent is its strategic location just 20 miles south of Seattle. Many sports fans choose to book hotels in Kent to avoid the skyrocketing lodging rates of downtown Seattle, using it as a base camp for major professional sporting events. Whether you are heading to Lumen Field for a Seahawks or Sounders game, T-Mobile Park to watch the Mariners, or Climate Pledge Arena for the Kraken, Charter Bus Rental Company Kent is your bridge to the big leagues. We offer round-trip game day shuttles that take the headache out of I-5 traffic and the exorbitant cost of stadium parking.
By renting a charter bus from Kent to Seattle, you turn a stressful commute into a pre-game party. Load up your bus with fellow fans and enjoy the camaraderie of the ride. The drivers navigate the stadium districts, dropping you off within walking distance of the gates so you can head straight to the tailgate or your seats. After the final whistle, you won't have to fight for a spot on a crowded light rail train or wait an hour for a surge-priced rideshare. Your private bus will be waiting at the designated pickup zone, ready to whisk you back to Kent in comfort. It is the most cost-effective and enjoyable way for large groups to experience Seattle sports.
Best Sports Bars and Pre-Game Spots in Kent
Before heading to the stadium or after a local tournament, your group will likely be looking for a place to grab a bite and talk stats. Kent has a thriving food and beverage scene that caters perfectly to sports fans. A charter bus rental gives you the flexibility to build a custom itinerary, hopping between the best local spots without anyone needing to drive. One local favorite is Airways Brewing, The Bistro & Beer Garden (320 W Harrison St, Kent, WA 98032), offering award-winning local beers and a great patio atmosphere perfect for large groups.
Another excellent option for pre-game dining is Agave Cocina & Cantina (504 Ramsay Way, Kent, WA 98032), located right next to the ShoWare Center. It’s the perfect meeting point before a Thunderbirds game. For a classic sports bar vibe with plenty of screens, check out The Pied Piper Ale House. With a private bus rental, you can organize a "pub crawl" of Kent’s best sports bars or simply arrange a safe ride to a team dinner after a long day of competition. We can make reservations for bus parking or coordinate drop-offs and pick-ups to suit your dining schedule perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kent Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for sports equipment?
Our full-size charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays that are perfect for sports teams. These compartments can easily hold hockey bags, football pads, soccer goals, balls, personal luggage, and coolers. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for smaller carry-on items like backpacks and personal electronics. If you are renting a minibus, storage space is more limited, usually restricted to a rear trunk area and overhead bins. When you call to book, be sure to tell our reservation specialist exactly what kind of equipment you are bringing so we can recommend the perfect bus size for your team.
How far in advance should we book our bus for a big game?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your schedule is confirmed. For major sporting events, such as Seahawks games, playoff matches, or large regional tournaments, demand for buses in the Seattle-Kent area can be extremely high. Booking 3 to 6 months in advance is ideal to ensure you get the best vehicle selection and pricing. However, we understand that playoffs and schedules can be unpredictable. Our team is available 24/7 to try and accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.
Do you provide transportation for out-of-state tournaments?
Absolutely! Charter Bus Rental Company Kent is fully equipped to provide long-distance transportation. We regularly transport teams to tournaments in Oregon, Idaho, California, and beyond. Our comfortable motorcoaches are designed for long-haul travel, featuring restrooms, reclining seats, and entertainment systems to make the journey fly by. Your quote will include all necessary accommodations for the driver for multi-day trips. Just provide us with your tournament schedule, and we will handle the rest.
What happens if the game goes into overtime and we are late leaving?
We understand that sports are unpredictable and that games often run longer than expected due to overtime, weather delays, or award ceremonies. When you book with us, you are renting the bus for a specific block of time, but we offer flexibility. Your driver will wait for your group at the venue. We recommend building a little buffer time into your initial reservation to account for these possibilities. If you do go significantly over your scheduled time, additional hourly fees may apply, but we will never leave a group stranded at a stadium.
