A few of the companies we’ve worked with
The Central Washington State Fair: A Valley Tradition
There is no event quite as iconic in the region as the Central Washington State Fair. Held annually at State Fair Park (1301 S Fair Ave, Yakima, WA 98901), this massive gathering draws crowds from all over the Pacific Northwest. Between the carnival rides, the rodeo, the concert series, and the endless rows of food vendors serving up everything from elephant ears to local produce, it is a logistical beast to navigate with a large group. Parking lots fill up rapidly, and coordinating a caravan of cars off Nob Hill Boulevard can result in separated groups and frustrated attendees.
When you book a charter bus rental in Yakima for the fair, you eliminate the parking headache entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the main gate, allowing you to head straight for the fun while they handle the bus parking. We offer everything from 56-passenger motorcoaches for large school field trips or community organizations to 20-passenger minibuses for families. After a long day of walking the fairgrounds and enjoying the exhibits, there is nothing better than sinking into a reclining seat in a climate-controlled cabin, leaving the traffic jams to a driver.
Live Music and Performances at the Capitol Theatre
For a touch of culture and history, the Capitol Theatre (19 S 3rd St, Yakima, WA 98901) is the crown jewel of downtown Yakima. Since 1920, this venue has hosted everything from Broadway musicals and symphonies to rock concerts and comedy specials. If you are organizing a group trip for a show—perhaps a senior citizen outing, a corporate client appreciation night, or a school arts trip—transportation should be elegant and seamless. The downtown area can be tricky for parking, especially when multiple events are happening simultaneously.
Charter Bus Rental Company Yakima provides the perfect solution with our fleet of sleek charter buses and sprinter vans. We can arrange for a curb-side drop-off on 3rd Street so your group can enter the theatre without walking blocks in the cold or heat. For corporate groups, our buses can come equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing guests to stay connected before the show. Make your evening at the Capitol Theatre a VIP experience by letting us handle the driving. Call us at 425-382-6247 to discuss your theatre itinerary.
Rock the Yakima SunDome
When big names come to the valley, they play the Yakima Valley SunDome (1301 S Fair Ave, Yakima, WA 98901). As one of the largest indoor venues in the area, the SunDome hosts massive concerts, high school state sporting tournaments, and trade shows. Events here attract thousands of visitors, turning the surrounding streets into a gridlock. Whether you are taking a group of students to the WIAA state basketball tournaments or a group of friends to a major rock concert, a private bus rental is the safest bet.
With Charter Bus Rental Company Yakima, you can turn the travel time into a pre-game or pre-concert party. Our party buses and charter buses offer ample storage for equipment if you are a competing team, or plenty of room for coolers and tailgating gear if you are there to spectate. Avoiding the stress of finding a parking spot in the crowded SunDome lots means you have more time to enjoy the event. Plus, with a driver, everyone gets home comfortably after the encore.
Fresh Hop Ale Festival Transportation
Yakima is responsible for growing roughly 75% of the nation's hops, and the Fresh Hop Ale Festival is the ultimate celebration of that heritage. Designated as one of the top beer festivals in the country, this event brings beer lovers from all over to taste brews made with hops that were on the vine less than 24 hours prior. Naturally, safe transportation is the number one priority for groups attending this festival. Do not rely on rideshares that will be surging in price or unavailable due to high demand.
By renting a charter bus or minibus for your brewery group or circle of friends, you ensure that everyone has a designated driver for the entire evening. We can shuttle your group from your hotel or a designated pickup spot directly to the festival grounds (held at the SOZO Sports Complex or downtown, depending on the year). Enjoy the festivities responsibly knowing that Charter Bus Rental Company Yakima has your ride home covered. Our buses are comfortable and spacious, perfect for relaxing after an evening of sampling the valley's best ales.
Summer Concerts in Wine Country
The Yakima Valley is synonymous with wine, and many local vineyards host spectacular summer concert series. Venues like Gilbert Cellars (2620 Draper Rd, Yakima, WA 98903) or Treveri Cellars (71 Gangl Rd, Wapato, WA 98951) offer stunning backdrops for live music. Organizing a group outing to these events is a fantastic way to spend a summer evening, but the locations are often in rural areas where cell service for rideshares can be spotty, and driving winding country roads at night isn't ideal for everyone.
A private shuttle bus rental is the elegant solution for wine country concerts. Load your picnic baskets, lawn chairs, and blankets into the undercarriage storage of a 56-passenger coach or the back of a minibus. Your driver will navigate the rural roads of Yakima County while you enjoy the scenery and the company of your friends. We can even organize a multi-stop itinerary, visiting a few tasting rooms before arriving at the concert venue. With Charter Bus Rental Company Yakima, your wine country experience is elevated from the moment you step on board.
Catch a Yakima Valley Pippins Game
Nothing says summer in Yakima like a night out at Yakima County Stadium (1301 S Fair Ave, Yakima, WA 98901) cheering on the Yakima Valley Pippins. As members of the West Coast League, these games feature top-tier collegiate players and offer a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. Group outings to baseball games are popular for company picnics, youth leagues, and family reunions. Coordinating a convoy of cars to meet at the stadium can be a hassle, especially when trying to park together.
Streamline your game day with a bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Yakima. We can pick up your entire group from a central location—be it a school, office, or neighborhood—and drive you straight to the ballpark. Our buses have plenty of room for baseball gear if your little league team is playing a scrimmage, or plenty of room for fans to stretch out. Enjoy the air conditioning on the way to the game, and let us worry about the traffic on Pacific Avenue while you focus on the hot dogs and home runs.
Festivals and Community Events in Downtown Yakima
Downtown Yakima is a hub of activity, hosting various parades and festivals throughout the year, such as the Cinco de Mayo parade, the Roots & Vines Festival, and the lighted holiday parades along Yakima Avenue. These community events are fantastic for local groups, but street closures and detours can make driving a nightmare. Finding parking blocks away from the action is less than ideal, especially for groups with children or elderly members.
Charter Bus Rental Company Yakima offers seamless drop-off and pick-up services for downtown events. Whether you need a shuttle for a church group attending the holiday parade or a party bus for a group of friends hitting the Roots & Vines Festival, we have you covered. The drivers are locals who know the streets of Yakima and how to navigate around road closures efficiently. We can drop you off close to the action at Millennium Plaza or near The Seasons Performance Hall (101 N Naches Ave, Yakima, WA 98901), ensuring your group stays together and enjoys the festivities stress-free.
