Your quote is just 30 seconds away. Enter your pickup location, date, and group size into the online tool and you'll land on a results page showing available vehicles, photos, and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Virginia Beach — no account needed, no phone call required.
Pricing depends on the bus type and size, the day of the week, how long you need the vehicle, and how many stops are on your itinerary. A 15-passenger minibus for a short Oceanfront transfer prices differently than a 56-passenger charter bus running up I-64 to Williamsburg for the day.

Timely Airport Transportation for Virginia Beach Groups
A group arriving at Norfolk International Airport (ORF) (2200 Norview Ave, Norfolk, VA 23518) doesn't need to sort out a dozen different rideshares from the baggage claim carousel. Suffolkcharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare airport shuttle buses sized to your exact headcount, so everyone loads together and arrives at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront or your hotel on schedule. ORF sits about 18 miles northwest of the Oceanfront via I-64 — roughly 25 to 35 minutes off-peak, longer when summer beach traffic backs up I-264. Charter bus pickup at ORF is curbside at the Ground Transportation Center on the lower level, outside baggage claim, in the designated commercial vehicle lanes separate from the rideshare area.
Have your whole group together with all luggage before calling the bus forward. Traveling through Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) (900 Bland Blvd, Newport News, VA 23602) instead? Bus pickup is curbside at the arrivals level.

For concerts at Scope Arena (201 E Brambleton Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510) or Chrysler Hall (215 St Paul's Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23510) in nearby Norfolk, bus drop-off is along Brambleton Ave and St Paul's Blvd. Compare party buses, minibuses, and charter buses for your next show — and get pricing in under 30 seconds!

Stress-Free Employee Shuttle Bus Rentals in Virginia Beach
You'll love how simple Suffolkcharterbuscompany.com makes setting up an employee shuttle in Virginia Beach. Hampton Roads traffic — especially the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel on I-64 and the Downtown and Midtown Tunnels between Norfolk and Portsmouth — costs commuters hours every week. A dedicated employee shuttle pulls your team out of that gridlock, turns dead commute time into productive or restful ride time, and gives your company one predictable transportation cost instead of reimbursing parking across dozens of cars.
Whether you need a daily route from a park-and-ride near I-64, a weekly transfer between a Virginia Beach campus and a Norfolk office, or temporary shuttle service while your lot is under construction, Suffolkcharterbuscompany.com helps you compare available buses and packages from a network of providers serving the entire Hampton Roads metro.

Moving personnel between installations, coordinating group transfers for training events, or arranging transportation for a change-of-command ceremony — Suffolkcharterbuscompany.com connects you to a network of transportation providers experienced in the Hampton Roads military market.

Virginia Beach City Public Schools is the largest school district in Virginia with more than 67,000 students, and when you add surrounding Hampton Roads districts, prom season in April and May puts enormous pressure on every available party bus and minibus in the region. Waiting until the last minute means higher rates, slim pickings, or both.

For most trips, booking three to six months out gives you the best selection and the best pricing. For high-demand dates in Virginia Beach, book even earlier — six months or more. The American Music Festival on Labor Day Weekend, the Neptune Festival in late September, the Shamrock Marathon in mid-March, Veterans United Amphitheater concert nights from May through October, and prom season in April and May all put enormous pressure on available buses across Hampton Roads.
Summer beach season from Memorial Day through Labor Day is the single busiest stretch of the year. Waiting until the last minute means higher rates, limited vehicle availability, or both. Lock in your date as early as you can!
Norfolk International Airport (ORF) is the closest major airport to Virginia Beach, about 18 miles northwest of the Oceanfront via I-64. Off-peak, the drive runs 25 to 35 minutes. During summer beach season or rush hour, I-264 into the Oceanfront can add significant time — budget 45 to 60 minutes on peak days.
Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) is about 50 miles northwest via I-64, roughly 50 to 70 minutes depending on Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel traffic. Charter bus pickup at ORF is curbside at the Ground Transportation Center, lower level, in the designated commercial vehicle lanes outside baggage claim.
Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater has designated oversized vehicle and bus parking areas on site, accessed via Concert Drive off Dam Neck Road. Bus parking assignments are coordinated on a per-event basis — contact venue operations at 948-225-0080 in advance of your show date to confirm your drop-off zone and bus lot assignment. On show nights, Dam Neck Road and Princess Anne Road see heavy congestion in both directions; buses using the designated venue access road avoid the worst of the surface-street backup.
Confirm current access and parking details directly with the venue before your event.
Yes. The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center has a designated bus and RV parking lot on site. A parking fee applies and is paid at entry.
Drop-off is at the main entrance on General Booth Blvd, with the bus then relocating to the designated lot. Contact the aquarium at (757) 385-3474 or visit Virginia Aquarium bus parking information to confirm current bus parking rates and any advance reservation requirements before your visit.
The Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) on I-64 between Hampton and Norfolk is one of the region's most notorious bottlenecks. Even as the HRBT Expansion project's new twin tunnel bores come online, peak-hour backups of 30 to 60 minutes or more are still common — especially on summer Friday afternoons heading toward Virginia Beach and Sunday evenings heading back west. If your trip crosses the HRBT, build a 30 to 60-minute buffer into your schedule during peak windows (Friday afternoon, summer weekends, holiday travel days).
The Downtown Tunnel and Midtown Tunnel between Norfolk and Portsmouth are toll crossings with commercial vehicle height and weight restrictions — confirm your route with your transportation provider when you book.
Absolutely. Day trips up I-64 to Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Colonial Williamsburg are popular long-distance runs from Virginia Beach — about 45 to 50 miles and roughly 45 to 60 minutes each way depending on HRBT traffic. Busch Gardens has a designated motorcoach parking lot; a fee applies, and groups should verify the current rate directly with the park.
Colonial Williamsburg coordinates bus parking through the Visitor Center — arrange in advance. Full-size 56-passenger charter buses with undercarriage luggage bays are a great choice for these trips. Compare options and get pricing in seconds using the online quote tool, or call 948-225-0080!
It depends on your headcount and what you're doing. A 15 to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit for smaller groups, inner-city transfers, or trips where maneuverability matters — like navigating the Oceanfront resort area or a tight venue drop-off in Norfolk. A 56-passenger charter bus works best for large groups, long-distance runs, or trips where passengers need onboard restrooms and undercarriage luggage storage.
A party bus (15 to 50 passengers) is the pick when the ride itself is part of the celebration — bachelorette nights, prom, birthdays, brewery tours. A sprinter van handles smaller executive or family groups up to 14 passengers. Compare all of these side by side on the results page in seconds — or call 948-225-0080 and a live agent will help you match the right vehicle to your trip!

Virginia Beach Boardwalk & Oceanfront
The Virginia Beach Boardwalk stretches three miles along Atlantic Ave from 1st Street to 40th Street and anchors one of the East Coast's most visited beach resort areas. The American Music Festival on Labor Day Weekend draws more than 100,000 attendees to the Oceanfront stages, and the Neptune Festival in late September brings the sand sculpting championships and a major street parade. Bus drop-off uses designated commercial vehicle loading zones along Atlantic Ave and adjacent cross-streets — buses cannot idle on Atlantic Ave. The Virginia Beach Resort Area Special Events District enforces parking and loading rules during major events, so confirm current commercial vehicle access with the City of Virginia Beach before your visit.
Summer season from Memorial Day through Labor Day is peak demand; book transportation three to six months out for any summer Oceanfront event.
Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center
The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center welcomes more than 800,000 visitors annually and is one of the top aquariums on the East Coast. Exhibits include live shark tanks, sea turtles, river otters, and an IMAX theater. A designated bus and RV parking lot is on site — a fee applies and is paid at entry.
Drop-off is at the main entrance on General Booth Blvd. Field trip groups should contact the aquarium's education department in advance to coordinate arrival timing and confirm current bus parking rates. Phone: (757) 385-3474. Visit Virginia Aquarium bus parking information for current admission and group booking information.
Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater
Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater is one of the largest outdoor concert venues on the East Coast, with capacity for nearly 20,000 fans across its covered pavilion and expansive lawn. The venue hosts 30 to 40 major concerts per season from May through October, drawing national touring acts across every genre. Bus parking is in designated oversized vehicle areas on site, accessed via Concert Drive; assignments are coordinated per event — contact venue operations directly in advance to confirm your lot and drop-off zone.
Dam Neck Road and Princess Anne Road see significant event-night congestion; buses using the venue's dedicated access road avoid the worst of it. Check the official venue events page for current show dates and access updates.
Virginia Beach Convention Center
The Virginia Beach Convention Center offers more than 500,000 square feet of meeting, exhibit, and ballroom space and sits at the heart of the Oceanfront resort area, one block from the Atlantic Ocean. It hosts major conferences, trade shows, consumer expos, and public events year-round. Charter bus drop-off is at the 19th Street entrance, with large adjacent surface lots that accommodate buses — coordinate parking with venue operations in advance for major events when lot space fills early.
The Convention Center connects directly to the resort hotel corridor along Atlantic Ave, making it a natural hub for conference shuttle routes between the venue and nearby hotels. Phone: (757) 385-2000. Visit vbconventioncenter.com for event calendar and group access details.
First Landing State Park
First Landing State Park is Virginia's most visited state park, covering 2,888 acres of rare coastal forest and Chesapeake Bay shoreline at the northern tip of Virginia Beach. The park marks the site of the first landing of English colonists in 1607, before they traveled inland to establish Jamestown. Trails wind through bald cypress swamps and along the bay beach, making it a popular destination for school field trips, nature outings, and family reunions.
Designated bus and oversized vehicle parking areas are available in the main parking lots — a fee applies. Contact the park at (757) 412-2300 or visit the Virginia State Parks website to confirm current parking fees and any advance reservation requirements for large groups.
Harbor Park & Norfolk Waterfront
Harbor Park is home to the Norfolk Tides, the AAA affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, and sits along the Elizabeth River waterfront in downtown Norfolk, about 20 minutes from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront via I-264. The ballpark holds 12,067 fans and offers one of the best minor-league game-day experiences on the East Coast, with skyline views and a lively atmosphere. Bus drop-off is along Park Ave adjacent to the park; coordinate parking in advance with Harbor Park operations, as there is no dedicated charter bus lot on site.
Phone: (757) 622-2222. The surrounding Norfolk waterfront — including the Nauticus maritime museum and the Battleship Wisconsin — makes the area a great multi-stop destination for group outings combining a game with waterfront sightseeing.
