Rental Process

Initiating your ADC bus charter begins by obtaining a commitment-free quote from our dedicated rental team. Share your travel specifics with us, and we’ll generate a customized quote while collaborating with you to devise a personalized travel itinerary.

ADC is a highly sought-after travel hub, especially during peak seasons and special occasions, leading to increased demand for charter buses. For groups planning trips in busy periods such as spring, summer, or major holidays, it’s advisable to secure your booking well in advance. We suggest reserving your ADC bus charter at least 6 months ahead for peak seasons. If your travel falls during the off-season, it’s still wise to plan ahead and book your charter bus at least 3 months in advance.

ADC Bus Charter extends its services across the entire metropolitan region, encompassing neighboring cities such as Alexandria, Arlington, and Virginia Beach. Additionally, we may have options available for groups embarking on long-distance journeys beyond the ADC metro area. Feel free to inquire with our reservation specialists to explore the transportation possibilities outside of the ADC region.

Ensuring parking arrangements for your charter bus is your responsibility. While your assigned rental representative at ADC Bus Charter may assist you in locating parking in the ADC area, it is your group’s responsibility to make reservations and cover parking fees. Additionally, for multi-day trips, it is crucial to secure overnight parking for your bus.

Each trip with ADC Bus Charter has a minimum rental duration of 5 hours. We do not impose maximum limits on rentals, and our team is flexible in coordinating logistics for extended distances or extended rental periods. Whether it’s a long-distance journey or a prolonged rental, we are here to accommodate your needs.
