The first question every Bellingham group asks: how much does this cost? Whatcom County rates: $175–$350/hr; Mt. Baker ski season and summer weekends see premiums. Every Bus2Ride quote is all-inclusive — base rate, fuel, gratuity, insurance, and your professional driver are rolled into one number. No surprise surcharges at checkout, no awkward tip envelope at the end of the night.
Limousine service in Bellingham starts around $100/hr for a classic stretch and scales to $300+ for specialty vehicles. Coach buses quote at $150–$400/hr or $800–$1,500 for full-day charters. Split the cost among passengers and luxury group transport becomes surprisingly affordable: a 20-passenger party bus at $250/hr works out to $12.50 per person per hour.
