Seattle Government & Military Charter Bus Rentals

Give your JBLM homecoming ceremony the transportation plan it deserves! When hundreds of military families pour into Joint Base Lewis-McChord (1 Corps St, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA 98433) for a deployment return, parking on post fills fast and the last thing families want is a long walk after months of waiting. Charter buses and minibuses from the network can stage at designated off-post parking areas and shuttle groups directly to the ceremony location, keeping everyone together and on schedule.

JBLM's Main Gate off Exit 120 on I-5 requires all visitors to have valid DoD credentials or a visitor pass coordinated through the Visitor Control Center at (253) 967-4794 in advance — so plan your access early and let the bus handle the rest of the logistics. Call 206-480-1270 to compare available vehicles for your ceremony date!

Lewis Main's Visitor Control Center is open 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily off I-5 Exit 120, while McChord Field's Visitor Center is open 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily off I-5 Exit 125; the correct gate keeps your bus from crossing the installation to fix an access problem. The official JBLM visitor and gate information keeps both approaches in one place.

We help you compare buses for the full range of government travel in Washington State — including the 60-mile run down I-5 from Seattle to the Washington State Capitol Campus during legislative sessions. The Washington State Legislature convenes January through April each year, and that stretch is one of the busiest periods for government group transportation between Seattle and Olympia. A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach keeps a large staff delegation together and productive on the road, while a 25- or 35-passenger minibus is the right fit for a smaller agency team.

Group drop-off at the Capitol Campus is on Capitol Way S, with bus staging in designated state lots nearby. Fill out one quick form to compare buses and pricing for your session travel — or call 206-480-1270 to build a custom package!

Seattlecoachbuscompany.com makes finding group transportation to and from Naval Base Kitsap straightforward, even across Puget Sound. The Bremerton facility is accessible via Washington State Ferry from Colman Dock (Pier 54) in Seattle — a roughly 60-minute crossing — while the Bangor submarine base in Silverdale is approximately 90 miles from Seattle via I-5 south and Highway 3 through Kitsap County. For groups crossing on the ferry, note that oversized commercial vehicles must submit an Oversized Vehicle Travel Request to Washington State Ferries in advance; boarding is first-come, first-served and the request does not guarantee a reservation, so arriving early matters.

For groups routing overland to Bangor or Bremerton, a full-size charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays keeps everyone and their gear together on the long haul. Compare your options online or call 206-480-1270 now!

The ferry request applies when the bus is over 8 feet 6 inches wide, over 13 feet 4 inches tall, over 80,000 pounds, or has less than 14 inches of ground clearance, and Washington State Ferries allows two business days for processing. Submit it early and your bus reaches the terminal with the ferry paperwork already moving.
