Why Book With Bellingham Coach Bus Service?
When you book with Bellingham Coach Bus Service, you get access to one of the largest fleets in Washington State. We offer everything from 15-passenger minibuses perfect for shuttling staff between Bellingham International Airport (BLI) and downtown government buildings, to 56-passenger charter buses equipped with onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and extra luggage space for long-distance deployments to Seattle, Spokane, or even across the border to Vancouver, BC. Need something in between? Try a 25-passenger minibus or a 40-passenger midsize coach. We can also provide ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts and priority seating upon request.
Our team is available 24/7/365 to help you plan every detail of your trip. We understand the unique requirements of government and military travel, including the need for punctuality, flexibility, and clear communication. Whether you’re organizing a daily commuter shuttle for city employees or coordinating transportation for a multi-agency training exercise at Whatcom County Emergency Operations Center, we’ll make sure you have the right bus at the right time.
Short-term and Long-term Contracts Available
Bellingham Coach Bus Service offers both short-term and long-term bus rental contracts to suit the needs of any government agency or military unit. If you’re looking for a temporary solution while your department’s vehicles are being serviced, we can provide a minibus or charter bus for a few days or weeks. For ongoing transportation needs, such as daily shuttles between Naval Station Everett and off-base housing in Marysville or Smokey Point, we can set up a month-to-month or annual contract with discounted rates and dedicated vehicles.
We also support large-scale operations that require multiple buses over an extended period. For example, we’ve supplied fleets of 20+ coaches for wildfire evacuation efforts in Eastern Washington, as well as continuous shuttle service during multi-week military exercises at Yakima Training Center. No matter the scope of your mission, we have the resources and experience to keep it moving.
Disaster Relief and Emergency Response Transportation
In times of crisis, you need a transportation provider you can count on. Bellingham Coach Bus Service has extensive experience working with emergency management agencies to provide rapid-response bus rentals during natural disasters, public health emergencies, and other critical incidents. Our fleet can be mobilized at a moment’s notice to evacuate residents from flood zones along the Nooksack River, transport first responders to staging areas, or deliver supplies to communities cut off by landslides or snowstorms.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we assisted local health departments with mobile testing site shuttles and quarantine transport. We’ve also participated in earthquake and tsunami drills coordinated by Washington State Emergency Management Division. When every second counts, trust us to get your people where they need to go safely and efficiently.
Comfortable and Productive Onboard Amenities
Staying connected and comfortable during transit is essential for today’s government and military travelers. That’s why our buses come equipped with a range of modern amenities designed to make your ride as pleasant and productive as possible. Stay connected with free onboard Wi-Fi and power outlets at every seat—perfect for checking emails, joining video calls, or updating mission plans in real time. Reclining seats with extra legroom allow you to relax between stops, while climate control keeps the cabin at a comfortable temperature year-round. Overhead storage racks and underfloor luggage bays provide ample space for rucksacks, Pelican cases, and other gear. Need to brief your team en route? Use the PA system to make announcements or play training videos on the flat-screen monitors. For longer trips, request a bus with an onboard restroom to minimize stops and keep your schedule on track.
Secure and Private Transportation Options
We understand that many government and military movements require a higher level of security and privacy than typical charter bus rentals. While our standard fleet does not include armored or GSA-approved vehicles, we can accommodate special requests such as unmarked exteriors, tinted windows, and restricted access to passenger areas. If your operation requires additional measures—such as coordination with law enforcement escorts or pre-screened drivers—please let us know during the booking process so we can make appropriate arrangements.
All of our buses are operated by professional drivers who undergo background checks and regular training. We do not allow unauthorized passengers onboard, and we can enforce mask mandates or other health protocols as needed. Your safety and confidentiality are our top priorities from pickup to drop-off.
