Charter Bus Rentals in Annapolis, Maryland

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach that you rent for exclusive use by your group, traveling on your schedule to destinations you choose. Unlike public transit or tour buses with fixed routes, a charter bus follows only your itinerary—whether that’s daily shuttles from BWI to downtown hotels, a field trip to the U.S. Naval Academy, or a weekend wedding at Herrington on the Bay. You get door-to-door service, control over pickup times and locations, and optional amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and reclining seats. In Annapolis, people use charter buses for everything from school trips and sports tournaments to corporate commuting and cruise transfers. It’s point-to-point transportation tailored entirely to your group’s needs.

We offer one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Maryland, so we can handle any group size or trip type. For big groups, we have 56-passenger charter buses from MCI, Prevost, and Van Hool—all with underfloor luggage bays, restrooms, and high-back recliners. Smaller teams or corporate shuttles often book our 25- to 35-seat minibuses built by Grech Motors, Tiffany, or Battisti Customs, which are compact enough for downtown Annapolis but still have overhead storage and comfortable seats. Party buses (20 to 40+ passengers) feature perimeter seating, LED lighting, sound systems, and coolers for bachelor/bachelorette nights or concerts at Merriweather Post Pavilion. We also have sprinter vans (10 to 15 passengers) for quick airport runs or executive transport, plus school buses for budget-friendly moves.

Charter bus pricing depends on several factors, but most rentals fall into these ranges: Full-size charter buses cost $145–$550+ per hour, $1,520–$5,000+ per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. Minibuses run $150–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,465+ per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile. Party buses and sprinter vans are usually priced by the hour (weekday vs. weekend rates), typically $180–$500+ per hour for party buses and $160–$450+ per hour for sprinters. The exact quote depends on your travel dates, total mileage, number of days, and which vehicle you choose. For example, a single-day round trip from Annapolis to Washington, DC, will be less than a three-day charter to Ocean City during Senior Week. Call us with your itinerary and we’ll give you an instant, all-inclusive quote.

The main factors are trip distance, duration, group size, and time of year. Longer trips (like Annapolis to New York City) cost more than local shuttles because of extra mileage and driver hours. Multi-day rentals include lodging for the driver, which adds to the total. Bigger buses with premium features (restroom, WiFi, leather seats) are more expensive than basic minibuses or school buses. Peak seasons—spring for graduations, summer for beach trips, fall for football games—can raise prices due to high demand. Last-minute bookings may have limited availability, while reserving weeks or months in advance gives you the best choice of vehicles. Optional add-ons like PA systems or custom branding are available upon request.

Booking is fast and straightforward. First, gather your trip details: exact dates, pickup and drop-off addresses, headcount, and any must-have amenities (like WiFi or ADA accessibility). Call our office anytime at 240-865-3820 or fill out the online form. We’ll match you with the right-size bus and send a quote within minutes. If you have questions or need to tweak the itinerary, our team is here 24/7 to help. Once you’re ready, we’ll reserve your bus and send a confirmation with all the info. You’ll get direct contact info for your on-the-day support rep, and we’ll double-check everything before departure.

Our fleet has every modern amenity you could want for comfort and convenience. Standard features on most charter buses include cushioned reclining seats, climate control, reading lights, and plenty of legroom. Overhead racks hold backpacks while underfloor bays store suitcases, coolers, or band equipment. Stay connected with onboard WiFi, USB chargers at each row, and 110V power outlets for laptops. Flat-screen monitors and DVD players are great for movie nights on long rides. Built-in restrooms reduce pit stops, especially for youth groups or seniors. Minibuses offer similar perks in a smaller package, though without a bathroom. Party buses add Bluetooth sound systems, dance floors, and mood lighting. If you need something specific—like tables for card games or an ADA lift—just ask.

We serve every type of group across Annapolis and Anne Arundel County. Schools book field trip buses to museums in DC or science centers in Baltimore. Sports teams ride together to tournaments with all their gear stored below. Wedding planners arrange guest shuttles between hotels, churches, and waterfront venues like Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. Corporations run employee commuters from park-and-rides to offices at Parole or Harbor East. Government agencies and military units use charter buses for training exercises, drills, or official ceremonies. Church retreats, summer camps, volunteer projects, and political rallies all rely on private group transportation. Even families organizing reunions or cruise ship transfers can benefit from renting a single vehicle instead of coordinating multiple cars.

We operate throughout the entire state of Maryland and beyond. Primary service areas include Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington DC, Silver Spring, Bethesda, Rockville, College Park, Bowie, Laurel, Columbia, Ellicott City, Glen Burnie, Severna Park, Arnold, Edgewater, and Kent Island. Regularly scheduled trips go to BWI Airport, Camden Yards, M&T Bank Stadium, FedExField, Nationals Park, Six Flags America, MGM National Harbor, and Ocean City. We also handle out-of-state charters to Philadelphia, New York City, Richmond, and Virginia Beach. No destination is too close or too far—if you need group transportation anywhere in the Mid-Atlantic region, we can send a bus there.

Getting a quote is easy and free. Call our office anytime at 240-865-3820 and speak with a reservation specialist who will walk you through the options. Or use the online form to submit your trip details and receive a response within minutes. Be ready to provide the date(s) of travel, origin and destination addresses, number of passengers, and any special requests. Quotes are valid for a limited time and include everything except parking fees or tolls incurred during the trip. Customer support is available 24/7 before, during, and after your rental. We pride ourselves on clear communication, transparency, and making sure you get exactly what you need.

Popular loading zones in downtown Annapolis include Dock Street near the City Dock, Calvert Street by the State House, and designated bus bays at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. For events at Maryland Hall or St. John’s College, there are staging areas on adjacent side streets. Hotels like The Westin, Graduate Annapolis, and DoubleTree have porte-cochere entrances large enough for buses to pull in with ease. If your itinerary includes stops at restaurants or shopping centers, we recommend calling ahead to confirm there’s space for a 40-foot vehicle to maneuver. When visiting the Naval Academy, all passengers must disembark at the visitor entrance and the bus will be directed to wait offsite until pickup time. For longer-term parking, there are lots outside the immediate downtown core where a bus can stay idle between assignments.

Every quote covers the use of the bus itself, driver compensation, fuel, insurance, and standard amenities like WiFi or A/C. Itineraries are customized to your schedule with unlimited mileage within the contracted time frame. Gratuity is optional but appreciated for excellent service. Not included are incidental expenses such as bridge tolls, tunnel fees, or admission charges at gated facilities—these should be paid directly by the group leader as they arise. If overnight travel is required, lodging accommodations for the driver must be arranged and paid for by the client (hotel room or equivalent). Meals and personal expenses for passengers are not part of the transportation package. There are no additional surcharges or surprise add-ons; what you see on the agreement is what you pay.

Start by counting the exact number of people who will be riding at the same time. Always round up to the nearest available bus size—it’s better to have a few empty seats than not enough. Consider how much luggage or equipment needs to be stored; sports teams and bands require extra space for bulky items. Think about trip length: for journeys over two hours, riders will appreciate larger seats, restrooms, and room to stretch out. Match the level of amenities to the audience—students may be fine with basic features, while corporate clients expect WiFi and power outlets. If you’re running a continuous shuttle loop, calculate how quickly each load can cycle back to pick up more passengers. Our staff can advise you based on experience with similar groups and events.
