Call us anytime to get an instant, all-inclusive quote tailored to your itinerary.

The main factors that affect your bus rental price are the size and type of vehicle, the length and distance of your trip, the time of year, and how far in advance you book. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller, simpler models. Longer trips that cover more miles or require overnight stays will be more expensive than short local charters. Peak seasons like spring and fall see higher demand and higher rates, especially around major events like the Cherry Blossom Festival or March for Life. Booking early gives you the best selection and lowest prices, while last-minute rentals may pay a premium. Optional add-ons like extra luggage space, custom branding, or multiple pickups can also affect your quote.

Our fleet includes buses with a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained on the road. Stay connected with free WiFi and USB/power outlets at every seat, so you can check email, stream video, or post updates from the National Mall. Watch a movie on flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray players, or listen to music over the PA system. Reclining seats, climate control, and tinted windows make it easy to relax, while overhead racks and underfloor bays provide plenty of room for backpacks, coolers, or band equipment. Many full-size coaches have onboard restrooms to minimize stops. If you need something specific—like ADA wheelchair lifts, hardwood floors, or tables for card games—just ask when you book.

We provide transportation for every kind of group and event across the DC metro area. Schools and universities rely on us for field trips to the Smithsonian museums, class retreats in Rock Creek Park, and campus shuttles at Georgetown, GWU, and Howard. Couples and wedding planners book our buses to move guests smoothly between ceremony sites, photo ops at the Lincoln Memorial, and receptions in Navy Yard or Alexandria. Corporations use us for daily commuter routes, off-site training sessions, and client dinners downtown. Sports fans ride together to Nationals Park, Capital One Arena, or FedExField without worrying about parking. We also handle government contracts, political rallies, church outings, senior tours, and private parties. No destination is too close or too far—we’ll get you there.

Getting a quote is fast and easy—just call our 24/7 reservation team at 771-474-0280 or fill out the online form with your trip details. We’ll ask for your headcount, pickup and drop-off locations, travel dates and times, and any special requests. Based on that information, we’ll send you a personalized quote in minutes that includes the exact vehicle(s) available, total price, and a list of included amenities. There’s no obligation to book, and you can adjust your itinerary as needed. Once you’re ready to confirm, we’ll lock in your bus and send you a contract. It’s that simple.

Parking a large bus in DC requires careful planning due to strict regulations and limited space. The National Park Service designates specific areas for tour bus drop-off and pick-up near major attractions like the U.S. Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, and Tidal Basin—these zones allow quick loading but not long-term parking. For layovers, Union Station offers paid bus parking with restroom access, while RFK Stadium Lot 8 provides affordable daily rates for oversized vehicles. Some hotels and museums have private lots that can accommodate buses by prior arrangement. Street parking is generally prohibited downtown, so always check current rules before your trip. Our team can help you map out the best spots based on your itinerary.

Your quote covers the cost of the bus, fuel, mileage, and standard amenities like WiFi, A/V systems, and climate control. It does not include tolls, parking fees, or optional gratuities, which are the responsibility of the renter. If your itinerary requires overnight travel outside the DMV area, you will need to provide lodging accommodations. Any extra services or upgrades will be clearly itemized in your proposal so you know exactly what to expect. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden charges—what you see is what you pay.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally three to six months before your event—to get the best rates and availability. Spring and fall are peak seasons for tourism, school trips, and political marches, so buses fill up quickly during those times. Major holidays like July 4th and Memorial Day also see high demand. If you need a last-minute rental, we can usually accommodate requests with a few days’ notice, but your choice of vehicles may be limited and prices may be higher. For recurring contracts or large-scale movements, planning six to twelve months ahead is advisable.
