Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Yakima

FAQS

Yakima Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Yakima and across Washington State, so you can rent exactly the type of bus your group needs. We have 15-35 passenger minibuses from top builders like Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—great for shuttling wedding guests between venues in downtown Yakima or corporate commuters to business parks in Terrace Heights. For bigger groups, choose a 40-56 passenger charter bus from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, or Setra, perfect for school trips to the Yakima Valley Museum, sports team travel to away games in Spokane or Seattle, or long-distance tours across the Cascades. We also offer 10-50 passenger party buses built by Krystal, Grech Motors, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks, and Executive Coach Builders, ideal for bachelor/bachelorette parties, concert trips to the Yakima Valley SunDome, or winery tours in Zillah and Prosser. Sprinter vans (10-15 passengers) and classic school buses round out our fleet, so we truly have something for every group size and budget.

The cost of renting a bus in Yakima depends on several factors, including the size and type of vehicle, the length of your trip, your itinerary, and the time of year. In general, you can expect to pay between $145 and $550+ per hour for a charter bus, $150 to $450+ per hour for a minibus, $180 to $520+ per hour for a party bus, and $160 to $450+ per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ depending on the vehicle and distance traveled. The best way to get an accurate price is to call our team at 509-955-5220 or use our online quote tool—we’ll give you an instant quote in 30 seconds!

Several factors can influence the price of your Yakima bus rental, including the size and type of vehicle you choose, the distance and duration of your trip, the time of year (peak season rates may be higher), and any special requests or amenities. For example, a weekend wedding shuttle from downtown Yakima to a vineyard in Zillah will cost differently than a midweek corporate commuter route or a multi-day school trip to Seattle. The number of miles traveled, whether you need the bus to stay with your group all day or just make a few transfers, and how far the bus has to travel to reach your pickup location (deadhead) all play a role in determining the final price. If you have questions about what’s included or how to keep costs down, our team is happy to walk you through your options.

In Yakima, coach buses can park or load/unload at several convenient locations depending on your itinerary. Downtown, there are designated loading zones near the Capitol Theatre, Yakima Convention Center, and along South 2nd Street for event shuttles or tour groups. For large events at the Yakima Valley SunDome or State Fair Park, there’s ample bus parking in the main lot off Fair Avenue. Schools like Eisenhower High and Davis High have dedicated bus lanes for student drop-off and pickup. If you’re visiting wineries, many tasting rooms in West Valley and along the Yakima Valley Highway have space for buses to park while guests enjoy their visit. Always check with your destination in advance, as some areas may require permits or have specific instructions for oversized vehicles. Our team can help you plan the best spots to load, unload, and stage your bus anywhere in Yakima County.
