Virginia Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a large, comfortable motorcoach designed for long-distance travel and group transportation. These vehicles are perfect for moving large groups of people—anywhere from 40 to 56 passengers—around Virginia for events like corporate outings, weddings, school field trips, or sporting events. Charter buses are built for comfort on long journeys, offering amenities like cushioned reclining seats, powerful air conditioning, onboard restrooms, and plenty of space for luggage. When you book a charter bus in Virginia, you get a reliable, modern vehicle that keeps your entire group together and on schedule.

A standard full-size charter bus seats between 40 and 56 passengers. The exact number of seats depends on the specific make and model of the bus, as well as the interior configuration and amenities included. When you request a quote from Virginia Party Bus Company, we’ll match you with options that fit your exact headcount, ensuring you get the right size vehicle for your group.

Virginia Party Bus Company offers the best charter bus rentals in Virginia at prices that are affordable for any group. You’ll pay $150–$400+ per hour, $1,000–$2,500+ per day, or $3.00–$8.00+ per mile for a 40-56 passenger charter bus. Your final quote will include the bus, driver, and fuel, but it won’t include parking passes, tolls, or driver hotel rooms on overnight trips. So for example, if you’re booking a 50-mile round trip from Richmond to Charlottesville (about 120 miles total) at $3.00 per mile, you’d pay around $360 just for mileage. Add in a daily rate if your trip spans multiple days, and you’ll get a clear, upfront price.

Charter buses are large, modern motorcoaches that look sleek and professional. They typically feature a white, black, or dark blue exterior with tinted windows and a streamlined, aerodynamic design. The interior is designed for comfort on long trips, with plush fabric or leatherette seats arranged in rows, overhead parcel racks for carry-on items, and a center aisle wide enough for easy movement. Full-size charter buses also include a rear-mounted onboard restroom and either a TV monitor mounted at the front or multiple monitors along the aisle for entertainment.

Charter buses come equipped with a wide range of amenities designed for comfort, productivity, and entertainment on long trips. Standard features include powerful air conditioning, reclining seats, and overhead parcel racks. Most also offer Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD players or HDMI inputs, and a PA system or microphone for announcements. Many charter buses also include an onboard restroom and a dedicated luggage bay under the cabin for large bags. When you request a quote, be sure to specify which amenities are most important for your group, and we’ll match you with a vehicle that meets your exact needs.

Yes, most full-size charter buses have onboard restrooms. These are compact, airplane-style bathrooms located at the rear of the bus and are designed for use during longer trips or when making frequent stops isn’t practical. The restroom is typically located at the rear of the bus, down a small set of steps, and is separated from the main cabin by a door.

Yes, most modern charter buses offer onboard Wi-Fi as a standard amenity. This allows passengers to stay connected, check email, browse the web, or stream content while on the road. If Wi-Fi is essential for your trip—especially for corporate groups or long-distance travel—be sure to request it when you book. We’ll make sure your vehicle is equipped with a strong, reliable connection.

Yes, most charter buses have power outlets. You’ll find either 110V outlets or USB ports located at each row or under each seat, allowing passengers to keep phones, tablets, and laptops charged throughout the trip. This is especially useful for business travelers who need to work on the road or for students who want to use electronic devices during long rides.

Yes, charter buses offer ample luggage space for large groups. Most full-size models feature large undercarriage luggage bays—also known as underfloor storage compartments—that can accommodate suitcases, equipment bags, or other bulky items. In addition, there are overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller carry-on items. If you’re traveling with extra-large items like sporting equipment or musical instruments, let us know in advance so we can ensure your bus has enough storage capacity.

Nothing, we already include gratuity.

We recommended booking your charter bus rental as far in advance as possible—ideally 6 to 9 months before your trip. This is especially important if you’re traveling during peak season (spring and fall) or around major events in cities like Richmond, Charlottesville, or Blacksburg. The earlier you book, the more options you’ll have, and the better rate you’ll secure. Last-minute bookings are possible, but availability may be limited, and prices may be higher.
