Richmond Charter Bus

Richmond Charter Bus

Navigating the bustling, historic corridors of Virginia’s capital requires a transportation partner who understands the unique rhythm of the River City. Richmond is a dynamic metropolis where centuries of history blend seamlessly with modern commerce, higher education, and a thriving arts scene. From the cobblestone pathways of Shockoe Slip to the corporate towers of the downtown financial district, moving a large group through this urban landscape can be a significant logistical challenge. Whether you are coordinating a massive convention at the Greater Richmond Convention Center, organizing a university shuttle for Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), or planning a private tour of the historic Fan District, relying on a caravan of personal vehicles is often a recipe for frustration. You should consider a professional charter bus rental service for your group transportation needs to ensure efficiency, safety, and comfort.

Winn Transportation is able to accommodate groups both big and small with a level of operational excellence that has been refined over decades of service. We possess an extensive, well-maintained fleet of charter buses that can transport your group for short local transfers or long-distance journeys across the Mid-Atlantic region. From the initial route planning to the moment your passengers disembark at their final destination, our team is dedicated to providing a superior travel experience that transforms a simple commute into a seamless part of your event’s success.

Why Choose Winn Transportation

We are a well-established charter bus service since 1958 In the transportation industry, longevity is the ultimate proof of reliability. Winn Transportation has been serving the Commonwealth of Virginia since 1958. For over 65 years, we have been a fixture on Richmond’s roads, evolving alongside the city itself. Founded by George Minor Winn with a single route, we have grown to become a cornerstone of regional travel. A significant milestone in our history was the 1966 acquisition of Virginia Tours, the state’s oldest bus company, which further cemented our deep roots in the area. We are not a fly-by-night broker; we are a legacy carrier with a proven track record of safety and customer satisfaction that spans generations.

We are locally owned and operated There is a distinct advantage to hiring a carrier that calls Richmond home. Winn Transportation is locally owned and operated, which means our management team and drivers live in the communities we serve. We possess an intimate knowledge of the local area that out-of-town providers simply cannot match. We know the best routes to avoid rush-hour congestion on the Powhite Parkway, the most accessible drop-off points for the State Capitol, and the specific entrance requirements for the region’s many historic venues. When you choose us, you are choosing a neighbor who cares about the success of your trip.

We are licensed, insured & bonded Your safety and financial protection are our highest priorities. Winn Transportation is fully licensed by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and complies with all Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. We carry comprehensive insurance policies that meet or exceed all federal requirements, providing you with total peace of mind. Additionally, we are bonded and approved to transport military personnel by the Department of Defense (DoD), a distinction held by fewer than 10% of carriers nationwide, which underscores our commitment to the highest standards of safety and legality.

Winn Transportation Motor Coach Fleet

Winn Transportation has different types of buses and motor coaches to meet your group’s needs specifically. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for diverse groups, which is why we offer a versatile fleet ranging from efficient shuttles to luxurious highway cruisers.

For a truly unique Richmond experience, we offer the Authentic Richmond Trolley. These are not modern replicas but original trolleys retired by the City of Richmond and lovingly restored. They feature the rare open-air “Politician’s Deck” on the rear, wooden bench seating, and the classic aesthetic that makes them perfect for weddings and historic tours. Note that these are vintage vehicles best suited for mild weather.

If you’re traveling within a local radius or require shuttle services for a corporate event, we suggest utilizing our Mini-Coaches or Executive Vans. These vehicles are designed for agility and efficiency. Unlike standard school buses, our mini-coaches offer a higher level of comfort with climate control and individual seating, making them perfect for moving groups between hotels and venues. They are clean, modern, and have storage for personal belongings.

Our 56-passenger motor coaches are perfect for groups traveling longer distances or for those who desire the ultimate in passenger comfort. These motor coaches are built for the long haul, featuring air-ride suspension systems that smooth out the bumps of the road. They are designed to be a mobile sanctuary, ensuring that your group arrives at their destination rested and refreshed.

Amenities included on all of our 56-passenger motor coaches typically include:

• Wi-Fi Connectivity: Keep your group connected to work or social media.
• A.M./F.M. Radio & PA System: Essential for tour guides and group announcements.
• Adjustable AC Vents: Individual climate control for every passenger.
• Individual Reading Lights: Perfect for evening travel or studying.
• Reclining Seats with Footrests: Ergonomically designed for maximum relaxation.
• Window Shades: Reduce glare and allow for napping during the day.
• Overhead Storage: Ample space for carry-on items and bags.
• Restroom: A necessity for minimizing stops on long-distance trips.

We also have motor coaches with wheelchair lifts to accommodate groups needing ADA transportation. Other, smaller vehicles are also available for local trips and smaller groups. To find a vehicle that will meet your group’s needs, contact us today.

Charter Bus Rental for Group Transportation

Our Richmond charter bus company works with groups of any size. We can arrange transportation for group tours, team building, shuttle services, and more.

Sporting Event Transportation

Richmond is a sports-loving city. When your child’s sports team is traveling for an away game, regional tournament, or out-of-town championship, rent a charter bus instead of trying to arrange a chaotic carpool. Charter bus rentals are an easy way to travel that builds team camaraderie. Teammates will have time to bond, strategize, and review game footage before their big game. We have charter rentals for large football squads requiring massive equipment bays, as well as smaller vehicles for tennis or golf teams. We also transport fan groups to see the Flying Squirrels or the VCU Rams, removing the stress of stadium parking.

Business Outings

Business travel can be difficult to arrange and it’s expensive to reimburse individual mileage. When you rent a motor coach, you can help your next team-building event run smoothly while also being cost-effective. Employees can interact with each other during travel time, turning a commute into a networking opportunity. They will all reach the destination at the same time, ensuring your agenda stays on track. You won’t lose precious time waiting for stragglers and your employees won’t get lost driving on their own. Whether you are heading to a conference downtown or a retreat in the countryside, we provide a professional extension of your workplace.

Wedding Shuttle Services

Winn Transportation has more than just school buses and motor coaches available for rent. Our charter bus company can shuttle wedding guests from location to location if your wedding has multiple events in various locations. Richmond’s historic venues like The Jefferson Hotel or Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden are beautiful but can be difficult for out-of-town guests to navigate. We transport your guests so they don’t get lost on their way to rehearsals, the ceremony, the reception, their lodging, and more. With prearranged transportation, your guests will be able to have more fun at your wedding, and you can relax knowing everyone has a safe ride home.

Church Trips

Your congregation can benefit when you hire a charter bus company for church trips. Passengers can pass the travel time participating in fellowship, sharing testimonials, and worshiping together. Traveling together by charter bus will help to increase the bond between churchgoers and help them develop long-lasting relationships. We regularly transport youth groups to summer camps, choirs to performance venues, and senior groups to historical sites. Our drivers are respectful and accommodate the specific needs of religious groups.

Sightseeing Tours

You can enjoy a sightseeing or group tour with our charter bus company in Richmond. We have group tours available to destinations across the region. We have arranged group trips to destinations in Washington D.C., Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and beyond. Winn Transportation offers large and small group sightseeing day trips, weekend trips, and week-long adventures. Whether you are exploring the Civil War history of the capital or taking a wine tour through Central Virginia, our buses offer the perfect vantage point.
