Charter buses, also known as motorcoaches or coach buses, can accommodate up to 56 passengers and are popular rental options for large-scale events and long-distance journeys. A full-size charter bus offers many of the same amenity options as our smaller minibuses and sprinter vans, like WiFi and power outlets, along with charter bus-exclusive amenities like a spacious undercarriage storage bay and onboard restrooms, making this our top recommendation for groups who need to go the distance.
Small- and medium-sized groups that don`t need a full-size DC charter bus rental can move swiftly through crowded areas with one of these compact models. A minibus rental in DC can accommodate up to 18 to 25 passengers, ensuring you can find appropriately sized transportation for occasions like group history tours, bachelorette trips out on the town, and short-distance travel. Though minibuses don`t have onboard restrooms or an undercarriage storage bay, you and your passengers can still sit back and relax with comfortable amenities like plush seats, WiFi, and TVs with DVD players.
The smallest model in our network, a sprinter van rental with driver provides quick transportation through DC.

Secure comfortable group transportation with amenities like reclining seats and climate controls for airport transfers, office shuttles, campus shuttles, special events, and more while a professional driver takes care of navigating traffic and finding parking.

At the US Capitol Building, groups can take part in unique experiences like witnessing lawmakers at work, touring a crypt initially built for George Washington, and standing inside the famous 96-foot rotunda. Only groups with more than 15 people are required to make a reservation in advance, but it is highly recommended that all visitors make a reservation regardless of group size, since it is such a popular destination.
The Smithsonian Institution is a network of 17 major museums in Washington DC, including spots like the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the National Gallery of Art. All 17 locations and the Zoo are free to enter, making them a great budget-friendly stop for groups. You can easily spend at least 2 hours or even an entire day in each museum, so you`ll want to get together with your group and work out which museums you’d like to prioritize before arriving. If there are any movie buffs in your group, we recommend paying a visit to Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers at the National Museum of American History!
Decorated in beautiful murals and intricate mosaics, the Library of Congress is the country`s oldest federally run cultural institution and the largest library in the world.

If you’re set on seeing the official Declaration of Independence, that can be found in the National Archives, where we’re more than happy to take you (just don’t pull a Nicholas Cage and try to steal it, okay?).
If your group is looking to get out of DC`s center, the US National Arboretum is the perfect place to get a breath of fresh air away from the crowds.

The National Zoo is home to over 2,200 animals that represent around 400 species, including giant pandas, orangutans, western lowland gorillas, Asian elephants, and sloth bears.

Like with the other Smithsonian institutions, visiting the National Zoo is free, although you will need to reserve entry passes in advance to visit.
The US Holocaust Museum serves as a living memorial to the Holocaust, housing four floors of exhibits that house records, artifacts, and videos that tell the stories of victims and survivors. Though not part of the Smithsonian, the US Holocaust Museum is free to the public, but does require you to reserve an entry pass ahead of time. This museum explores heavy topics and details that might be intense for young audiences and is recommended for visitors ages 11 and older. (Image credit)
