How to Get Around Washington, D.C.

D.C. is known to have an easy-to-use public transportation system, but when it comes to traveling with a group, that’s a different story. Groups may find that separating themselves between busy public transportation options can lead to disorganization, especially if they’re new to the city. With D.C. being such a tourist-heavy area, rideshare apps and taxi services rates are more expensive and can quickly add up.

Instead, groups find the ease and reliability of charter bus rentals more beneficial and cost-effective. National Charter Bus works with your group and itinerary to find you the perfect bus transportation, whether you need a minibus or a full-sized coach bus. While you explore the capital’s treasures, you can enjoy amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, air conditioning, and more.
