Why Rent a Bus in Virginia Beach?

We might be biased, but a private bus rental is the best way to keep your group together and comfortable while traveling in or around Virginia Beach. The city is an especially popular destination in the warm summer months, meaning roadways and parking lots can get very crowded. Rather than navigating it all in a multi-car caravan, opt for a personalized bus rental, and everyone will be in one vehicle, wherever you go.

The sun sets over the pier and beach at Virginia Beach

If you’re still not sure what kind of group transportation is right for your passengers, here’s an overview or popular ways groups get around Virginia Beach:

●      The VB Wave: This trolley system associated with the city’s public transit serves much of the beachfront and major attractions of Virginia Beach. However, like all modes of public transit, larger groups may have trouble staying together while riding these lines—especially if you have small children in tow. Also, if your group is going somewhere that’s not near the beach, this service is not the one for you.

●      Taxis and Rideshares: Many taxicabs, Ubers, and Lyfts serve Virginia Beach. If your group doesn’t mind splitting into multiple vehicles and waiting around for your rides to show up whenever you need it, these options can be convenient. However, keep in mind that fares and rates can skyrocket during busy holiday weekends, conventions, and festivals.

●      Minibus or Charter Bus Rental: If your group wants an all-in-one transportation plan that’s taken care of before you even depart for Virginia Beach, a private bus rental is the way to go. Shofur’s services include a professional driver to handle all the driving and parking details for you, and your bus can be outfitted with amenities like WiFi, TVs, power outlets, and plush, reclining seats for ultimate comfort during your travels. Also, Shofur bus rentals have transparent pricing you’ll know before your trip—no need to worry about hidden fees or unexpected expenses during your trip!

Frequently Asked Questions

The answer is: it depends. When you call one of our 24/7 reservation specialists with your trip details, they will build a quote for you based on a few factors, including how far you'll be traveling, which bus you rent, how many hours or days you will need the rental, and where and when you will be picked up. Depending on your trip itinerary, your rental cost will be broken down by hour, day, or mile.

You can learn more on our charter bus pricing page, and your reservation specialist will be happy to break down pricing further when you call.

Our network offers full-size charter buses, minibus rentals, and sprinter vans. Full-size charter bus rentals are great for larger groups or longer distance trips and can accommodate up to 56 passengers, while minibus rentals work well for medium-sized groups of 12 to 25 passengers. Groups even smaller than that can rent a sprinter van, which comfortably accommodates up to 12 people.
