Charter Buses

A full-size charter bus is a popular option for larger groups, such as those needing field trip transportation to museums in DC or government transportation for meetings at the Capitol. It seats up to 56 passengers comfortably and comes with special amenities that aren’t in other models such as onboard restrooms and undercarriage storage. These buses are also great for long-distance transportation, offering the services of a professional driver along with comforts for the road like reclining seats and power outlets for devices.

Minibuses

A DC minibus rental seats anywhere from 18 to 35 passengers depending on which model you book, comes with the services of a professional bus driver, and comes with amenities you’ll love like overhead storage and onboard WiFi. Groups often book a minibus rental in DC for easier private event transportation or for corporate event transportation such as conventions at Walter E. Washington Convention Center or team-building events at breweries.

Book a sprinter van for airport transportation to and from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Dulles International Airport or for sleek concert transportation at Capital One Arena for you and your group. Like other models, it comes with the services of a professional driver along with custom scheduling tailored to your event.

Best Neighborhoods to Visit in Washington DC

While we often think of Capitol Hill as the main neighborhood in DC, the area is actually home to more than 100 different neighborhoods, each with their own unique culture and flavor. Below are some of the best neighborhoods to visit in a Washington DC charter bus rental and what they have to offer. 

Capitol Hill

The Capitol Hill neighborhood in DC is most popular for being home to many major monuments and museums, such as the Grant Memorial and the Library of Congress. But it’s also home to a thriving nightlife and restaurant scene. Check out the Michelin guide restaurant AMBAR for a memorable meal, see a play at the Folger Shakespeare Library, or even get a late drink at The Wells. Your driver knows all the Union station bus zones and can handle the parking and driving.

Georgetown

Popular with students, the Georgetown area was founded in 1751, making it older than Washington DC itself! It has plenty of history, such as Federal-style estates like the Dumbarton House and Tudor Place House, along with places to enjoy some food and wine on the Potomac River. You can also make a day of shopping on M Street for luxury home design stores, art galleries, and other boutiques.

Navy Yard

Groups looking to hit the more touristy spots can spend some time at the Navy Yard, which is home to Nationals Park, the U.S. Navy Museum, and tons of sports bars and waterfront restaurants such as The Salt Line. And don’t worry about knowing all the Downtown DC bus restrictions—we have it covered for you. If you have a more outdoorsy spirit, you can rent kayaks and canoes during warmer months to take down the Anacostia River. Or enjoy some wine tasting at the stunning District Winery.

Dupont Circle

A perfect blend of old and new, the Dupont Circle neighborhood in DC features historic sites along with popular tourist spots. Artistically inclined visitors can check out The Phillips Collection art gallery, and foodies can try different restaurants across multiple different cuisines like Ala for Middle Eastern food and Boqueria Dupont for Spanish tapas. You can also enjoy a slow morning at local cafes or bookstores like Kramerbooks & Afterwords..

Adams Morgan

The artsy and eclectic Adams Morgan neighborhood features buzzing nightlife and live music thanks to its artistically inclined visitors. Visit one-of-a-kind locations such as the longest running vintage store in DC, Mercedes Bien Vintage, before heading to places like Madam’s Organ for live blues music. And don’t forget to take a nice stroll along Meridian Hill Park while you’re there, too!
