A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Virginia Tech Campus & Lane Stadium
For many, a trip to Blacksburg begins and ends with the Hokie Stone structures of Virginia Tech. Whether you are here for an academic tour, a graduation ceremony, or the electric atmosphere of a football game, the campus is the heartbeat of the city. Lane Stadium (285 Spring Rd, Blacksburg, VA 24061) is widely considered one of the loudest and most exciting venues in college football. If you are bringing a group of alumni or fans to jump to ""Enter Sandman,"" a charter bus rental is the ultimate game-day hack. You can store your coolers, tents, and grills in the spacious undercarriage luggage bays, leaving the cabin clutter-free for you to relax in.
Beyond athletics, the campus offers plenty for prospective students and educational groups. A minibus rental is perfect for high school groups touring the Drillfield or visiting the Burruss Hall administration building. Instead of coordinating a caravan of parents' cars or relying on public transit, keep your students together and on time. Your driver can drop your group off right near the Torgersen Bridge or the Squires Student Center and wait nearby, ensuring a seamless and safe experience for everyone involved. Don’t let parking logistics dampen your Hokie spirit!
Moss Arts Center
If your group is looking for a dose of culture in Southwest Virginia, the Moss Arts Center (190 Alumni Mall, Blacksburg, VA 24061) is a premier destination for the performing and visual arts. This state-of-the-art facility hosts everything from symphony orchestras and modern dance troupes to experimental theater and visual art exhibitions. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips, senior citizen outings, or corporate cultural events. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Blacksburg, you ensure that your group arrives at the theater doors together, without the stress of navigating Alumni Mall traffic or finding parking in downtown decks.
For evening performances, a private shuttle adds a touch of luxury to the night. Your group can enjoy dinner at a local restaurant on Main Street before being chauffeured directly to the show. After the final curtain call, there is no need to wait in the cold or rain for rideshares; your heated bus will be waiting to take you home. Amenities like reclining seats and onboard restrooms (available on full-size coaches) make the ride home comfortable, even if you are traveling back to Roanoke, Lynchburg, or beyond.
Hahn Horticulture Garden
Located on the Virginia Tech campus, the Hahn Horticulture Garden (200 Garden Ln, Blacksburg, VA 24061) offers nearly six acres of teaching and display gardens. It is a serene escape perfect for garden clubs, photography groups, or wedding parties looking for a beautiful backdrop. The garden features a variety of perennial borders, water gardens, and shade gardens that change with the seasons. Because parking immediately adjacent to the garden can be limited for larger vehicles, booking a minibus shuttle allows your group to be dropped off right at the entrance pavilion.
This location is also a popular spot for intimate weddings and receptions. If you are planning nuptials here, Charter Bus Blacksburg can provide a sleek, modern wedding shuttle to transport your guests from their hotels to the garden. This ensures that out-of-town guests don't get lost on campus and that everyone arrives on time for the ceremony. With features like air conditioning—crucial during humid Virginia summers—your guests will arrive cool, collected, and ready to celebrate your special day.
Historic Smithfield
Step back in time at Historic Smithfield (1000 Smithfield Plantation Rd, Blacksburg, VA 24060), the 18th-century home of Colonel William Preston. This destination is ideal for educational field trips and history buffs interested in the American Revolution and the westward expansion of the colonies. The site offers guided tours that provide deep insight into the history of the region. Unlike uncomfortable yellow school buses, a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Blacksburg provides a comfortable learning environment on wheels. You can use the onboard PA system to brief students on the history of the Preston family before you arrive, or play educational documentaries on the TV monitors during the drive.
We work with schools across Montgomery County and the surrounding areas to ensure safe, reliable student transportation. The drivers prioritize comfort above all else. Whether you are coming from a local elementary school or a university history department in a neighboring state, we have the fleet to accommodate your class size comfortably. After your tour, your bus can easily take you to a nearby park for a picnic lunch before heading back to school.
Beliveau Farm Winery
Just a short drive from downtown Blacksburg, Beliveau Farm Winery (3899 Eakin Farm Rd, Blacksburg, VA 24060) offers a picturesque escape into the Blue Ridge countryside. This award-winning winery and brewery is a favorite for bachelorette parties, corporate retreats, and family reunions. The property features hiking trails, lavender fields, and stunning views, making it a destination where you will want to spend the whole afternoon. The road to the winery can be winding, so leaving the driving to a driver is the most relaxing choice.
When you book a private bus for a wine tour, you automatically secure a designated driver for your entire group. Everyone can enjoy the wine and beer tastings without worrying about who has to drive back to the hotel. A minibus or sprinter van is often the perfect size for these outings, offering an intimate yet spacious setting for your group to socialize between stops. You can even request a bus with free WiFi so you can upload your photos of the vineyard in real-time!
Downtown Blacksburg & Market Square Park
The intersection of College Avenue and Main Street marks the heart of Downtown Blacksburg, a vibrant area packed with unique boutiques, local eateries, and the famous Lyric Theatre. It is also home to Market Square Park (210 Draper Rd SW, Blacksburg, VA 24060), which hosts the wildly popular Blacksburg Farmers Market and events like the Steppin' Out street festival. Navigating downtown with a convoy of cars can be a nightmare due to one-way streets and limited street parking. A charter bus rental simplifies the logistics entirely.
We can arrange a drop-off point near the action, allowing your group to explore the shops and restaurants on foot. If you are organizing a large group for a festival or a pub crawl, a private shuttle is the best way to keep everyone together. Your driver can circle or park in a designated staging area until you are ready to be picked up. Whether you are grabbing a slice at Benny Marzano’s or shopping for Hokie gear, Charter Bus Blacksburg makes visiting downtown stress-free.
Claytor Lake State Park
Located just a short drive away in Dublin, Claytor Lake State Park (6620 Ben H. Bolen Dr, Dublin, VA 24084) is the premier spot for water recreation in the New River Valley. It is an excellent destination for summer camps, church youth groups, and company picnics. The park offers swimming, hiking trails, and a full-service marina. When you travel with a large group for an outdoor adventure, you usually have a lot of gear—coolers, life jackets, sports equipment, and picnic supplies. A full-size charter bus offers massive undercarriage storage bays to handle all of it.
After a long day in the sun, there is nothing better than climbing into a climate-controlled bus with plush, reclining seats. Your group can rest and recover on the drive back to Blacksburg, rather than dealing with the exhaustion of driving home. We can also coordinate multiple buses for very large groups or recurring shuttle services if you are hosting a multi-day event at the park's conference center.
Huckleberry Trail
For active groups, the Huckleberry Trail is a paved multi-use trail connecting Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and the Virginia Tech campus. It’s popular for walking, cycling, and running. If you are organizing a charity walk, a running club outing, or a biking tour, Charter Bus Blacksburg can provide point-to-point transportation. We can drop your group off at the trail head near the Blacksburg library and pick you up at the New River Valley Mall end, or vice versa.
This linear travel logistical challenge is easily solved with a private bus rental. You don't have to worry about looping back to get cars; your driver will meet you at the finish line with air conditioning blasting. If you have a smaller group, our sprinter vans or minibuses are agile enough to navigate the trailhead parking lots easily. It’s the most efficient way to enjoy the region’s natural beauty without the logistical headache.

How far in advance should I book my bus?
We generally recommend booking your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important in Blacksburg during peak times such as Virginia Tech football season, graduation weekends, and major university events.
