Renton Group Transportation: Gene Coulon Park, The Landing & Clayton Scott Field

Quotes we have sent across Washington start around $420–$445 an hour, which puts a typical four-hour night at $1,775–$2,025. Your price depends on the date, the city, how many hours you need, the bus and your group size.

Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park at 1201 Lake Washington Boulevard North has reservable North, South and Creekside shelters, but rental hours run 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., each shelter has an occupancy limit, weddings and catered events have to be disclosed, and alcohol and bounce houses are prohibited. Plan your loading point at a legal lot rather than the boat-launch lanes, and remember that a bigger festival-style event needs the separate temporary event permit.

The City of Renton requires a temporary event permit at least 90 days ahead for activities that may affect public spaces, services or safety, and asks organizers to submit a Request an Event Form first so staff can decide whether a permit is needed. The review covers traffic flow, public safety, sanitation and accessibility. Ask your organizer for the issued permit and any traffic plan, so the driver knows where it is lawful to stop.

Only through the fixed-base operator or the aircraft operator hosting the flight. Renton Municipal Airport, also called Clayton Scott Field, is a city-owned general aviation reliever airport at 243 West Perimeter Road bounded by Rainier Avenue, Airport Way, the Cedar River and Lake Washington, and landside access follows the city’s airport regulations. It is not a commercial terminal, so a request that just says “Renton airport” needs clearing up before anyone quotes it.

Renton is closer to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport than most Eastside cities, though I-405, I-5 and SR 518 can turn a short distance into a slow drive. The Port of Seattle sends charter buses to the Northeast Charter Bus Lot at the north end of the garage with a dispatch call to 206-787-5906, and pre-arranged limousines pick up on the Arrivals Drive after checking in at the Ground Transportation Booth. Ask how flight delays and terminal waiting are billed.

61% of every request we get is for a Saturday, and another 20% for a Friday. That is why Saturday availability is the first thing to ask about. That's what other Renton planners asked for — your own headcount is what decides it. Count everyone who is actually getting on, then add room for luggage, coolers, instruments or formalwear. Ask each company for the legal seated capacity of the exact vehicle they're offering. Most Renton requests are for weddings, bachelor parties, and bachelorette parties, and those nights want different amounts of floor space for the same headcount. A bus rated for twenty seats is not twenty comfortable seats in formalwear.

Not necessarily. The images here are representative renderings of a vehicle class, not photos of a bus parked in Renton. The company covering your route names the assigned vehicle in writing when you book. Before you pay, make sure that writing gives the specific vehicle, its legal seated capacity, the features you're counting on, and what happens if it's unavailable on the day — including whether a replacement could be a different size or class.

Ask in your first message, before you have a quote. Accessible vehicles are a small slice of any local fleet and they need more lead time. Tell them how many passengers use a wheelchair or mobility device, the type and weight, whether anyone can transfer to a seat, and whether you need a lift or a ramp. Ask in writing how the device is secured, what the usable door and interior height are, and how much notice they need. Then check the accessible entrance and loading spot with each venue — Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, 1201 Lake Washington Boulevard North and The Landing retail district set their own access rules, and the right bus is no help at a door it can't reach.
