Alexandria Charter Bus Rentals

The interior of a charter bus is designed for both comfort and practicality, featuring cushioned seats (often with reclining options), individual reading lights, climate control vents above each row, and large windows fitted with either pull-down shades or curtains. Most modern coaches have carpeting down the center aisle, soft LED lighting along the ceiling, and entertainment monitors mounted at the front or throughout the cabin. Overhead luggage racks run the length of the bus, while larger storage compartments are located beneath the floor. The color scheme is typically neutral—blues, grays, or tans—to create a relaxing atmosphere.

Charter buses come in several sizes, but the most common full-size models have between 40 and 56 seats. Smaller minibuses may have 18 to 35 seats, while larger double-decker coaches can accommodate up to 81 passengers. The exact number of seats depends on the manufacturer and whether extra amenities like a rear bathroom or expanded luggage space are included. For example, a standard 45-foot MCI or Prevost coach will typically seat 54 people in a 2×2 configuration across 13 rows. Always confirm the seating capacity before booking to ensure it meets your group’s needs.

All of our Alexandria charter bus rentals come with the best amenities available! Standard features include cushioned seats that recline, individual reading lights, strong climate-controlled air conditioning, onboard restrooms, TVs with DVD players, Bluetooth audio systems, WiFi, 110V power outlets, USB charging ports, and PA microphone systems. Most of our vehicles have tinted windows with pull-down shades, and we offer forward-facing or perimeter seating arrangements depending on your preference. ADA-accessible options are available with wheelchair lifts and priority seating for passengers with disabilities. If you need something specific like tray tables, footrests, or extra monitors, just let us know when you book.

Yes! All of our Alexandria charter buses come equipped with both 110V electrical outlets and USB charging ports at every seat row. This allows passengers to charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices during the trip. Outlets are typically located either on the side panels next to each seat or underneath the seats themselves for easy access. Some newer models even offer dual USB ports per passenger in addition to standard power plugs. If your group has special requirements for charging larger equipment or multiple devices per person, please specify when booking so we can accommodate your needs.

Yes, all full-size charter buses are equipped with an onboard restroom located at the rear of the vehicle. The restroom includes a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small sink or vanity area depending on the model. While suitable for emergency use during travel, we recommend planning regular rest stops for extended trips as the facilities are compact. Having a restroom onboard is especially convenient for long-distance journeys or when traveling with children and large groups.

Yes, full-size charter buses are equipped with ample luggage storage options. There are large undercarriage bays beneath the main cabin that can hold suitcases, equipment cases, and other bulky items—typically up to 500 pounds of cargo. Inside the bus, overhead racks above the seats provide additional space for backpacks, purses, and smaller bags. If your group is traveling with oversized items such as musical instruments, sports gear, or presentation materials, please inform us in advance to ensure sufficient storage capacity is available.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Alexandria varies depending on several factors, including the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, time of year, and any additional amenities requested. As a general guideline, rates can range from $1,000 to $3,000 per day for a full-size bus, with exact pricing determined by the details of your itinerary. To receive an accurate quote, please provide information about your destination, schedule, and group size. Our team will work with you to get you a solution that fits your budget.

It is recommended to book your Alexandria charter bus at least six to nine months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons such as spring break, summer vacation, or around major holidays. Early booking ensures the best selection of vehicle types and amenities, and allows for better coordination of schedules and special requests. Last-minute reservations can sometimes be accommodated, but availability may be limited and prices could be higher due to increased demand. Planning ahead is the best way to secure reliable transportation for your event or trip.

No, Parking and tolls are not included in the quote. Charter bus quotes include the base rate for the bus and driver, but additional fees such as tolls, parking, and permits are typically not included and are the responsibility of the customer. For example, if your itinerary includes crossing bridges or using toll roads, those costs will need to be paid separately. Similarly, parking fees at hotels, venues, or attractions must be covered by the group. Popular destinations like FedExField, Nationals Park, Capital One Arena, and Jiffy Lube Live require pre-arranged bus parking passes that range from $50 to $150 per event. In Washington DC, charter buses must obtain a permit to drop off passengers near the National Mall, which costs $85 per day. Our team will help identify any expected expenses during the booking process so there are no surprises on the day of your trip.

Alexandria is served by several public transit options, including the Washington Metro (with stations at King Street-Old Town and Braddock Road), DASH local bus service, and regional connections to Amtrak, VRE commuter rail, and WMATA Metrobus routes. While these services are effective for individual commuters, they may not be practical for large groups traveling together to specific destinations outside regular transit corridors or schedules. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service tailored to your itinerary, ensuring that everyone arrives at the same time without the hassle of transfers or missed connections. This is especially important for events that require precise timing, such as weddings, corporate meetings, or school field trips. With a charter bus, your group can relax and focus on the purpose of the trip rather than navigating multiple transit systems.
