Washington, D.C. Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals

Things to Do in Washington, D.C.

Exploring any major city is always better with a group, and Washington, D.C. has a long list of attractions for groups of all ages. From historic national monuments to modern, world-class museums, you’ll have plenty to see. Build your own itinerary around the city and ride in complete comfort to each location with a rental from National Charter Bus.

How to Get Around D.C. with a Group

Utilizing D.C. public transportation can be helpful for individuals and small groups. Herding a dozen or two people around public buses and trains is a different story. A private charter bus will be tailored to your group’s size and needs, which will help everyone travel comfortably and stress-free.

We’ll work with your group to organize a seamless pick-up and drop-off process in busy areas around the National Mall and throughout the city. After dropping everyone off in a designated area, your professional driver will handle parking your bus. You’ll have to pre-secure a parking location and pay any applicable fees, but once you’re unloaded at your D.C. attraction of choice, we’ll take care of the rest.
