A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Rock Out at the Iconic Hampton Coliseum
When it comes to live music in Virginia, few venues are as legendary as the Hampton Coliseum. Affectionately known as "The Mothership" due to its distinct architectural design, this arena has hosted rock royalty, jam bands, and massive sporting events for decades. Located at 1000 Coliseum Dr, Hampton, VA 23666, the venue can hold nearly 10,000 to 13,000 fans, which inevitably leads to significant traffic congestion on Mercury Boulevard and I-64 before and after shows. Trying to coordinate a caravan of cars for a major concert here often results in split-up groups and frustration.
By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Hampton, your entire group can travel together, ensuring you arrive at the venue simultaneously. Our buses offer ample undercarriage storage, perfect for tailgating gear if you plan to enjoy the pre-show atmosphere in the parking lot. Once the concert is over, you won't have to worry about navigating the parking lot exodus; your driver will be ready to pick you up and transport you comfortably home or to your next destination. You can reach the venue box office for ticket information, but call us to handle the ride.
Intimate Performances at The American Theatre
For a more refined and intimate cultural experience, The American Theatre in the historic Phoebus neighborhood is a must-visit destination. Located at 125 E Mellen St, Hampton, VA 23663, this beautifully restored venue hosts a diverse array of performances, including Broadway-style musicals, classical concerts, comedy acts, and dance recitals. It is a cornerstone of the Hampton arts community and a perfect destination for school field trips, senior citizen outings, or corporate cultural events. Parking in Phoebus can be limited, especially on show nights when local restaurants are busy.
A minibus rental from Charter Bus Hampton is the ideal solution for trips to The American Theatre. Your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance on Mellen Street, allowing you to walk straight into the lobby without circling for street parking. After the show, why not explore the local dining scene? Your bus can shuttle your group to nearby restaurants like The Baker's Wife or El Diablo Loco for a post-show meal before heading home. Call the theatre for showtimes, and call us to secure your stylish ride.
The World-Famous Hampton Jazz Festival
Each June, music lovers from across the nation flock to our city for the Hampton Jazz Festival. This multi-day event attracts thousands of visitors and features some of the biggest names in jazz, R&B, soul, and blues. Because this festival draws such massive crowds to the Hampton Coliseum, hotels fill up quickly, and parking becomes a premium commodity. If you are traveling with a large group of friends, family, or a community organization, a private charter bus is the most efficient way to experience the festival weekend without the stress of logistics.
With Charter Bus Hampton, you can organize a daily shuttle service from your hotel directly to the festival grounds. Forget about paying daily parking fees for multiple vehicles or waiting endlessly for rideshare surges. Our charter buses come equipped with air conditioning—a lifesaver during the humid Virginia summers—and comfortable reclining seats where you can rest between sets. We can even arrange for multi-day transportation packages to cover the entire festival weekend, ensuring your group enjoys a seamless VIP experience from start to finish.
Outdoor Fun at Mill Point Park Festivals
Located on the downtown waterfront at 100 Eaton St, Hampton, VA 23669, Mill Point Park is the scenic heart of many of Hampton's most beloved outdoor festivals. From the swashbuckling fun of the Blackbeard Pirate Festival to the smooth sounds of the Groovin' by the Bay concert series, this park is a hub of community activity. While the setting is beautiful, parking in downtown Hampton during major festivals can be difficult, often requiring long walks from remote garages.
Rent a bus with Charter Bus Hampton to simplify your festival day. We can drop your group off near the park entrance, saving you the hassle of carrying lawn chairs, coolers, and blankets over long distances. If you are organizing a trip for a large group, such as a school band, a church youth group, or a company picnic, our full-size motorcoaches provide the capacity and safety you need. Plus, having a designated driver means the adults in your group can enjoy the beer and wine gardens responsibly. Enjoy the waterfront views and live entertainment while we handle the navigation.
Summer Concerts at Busch Gardens Williamsburg
While technically just up the road, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is a major draw for Hampton residents, especially during their Summer Nights concert series and food festivals. Located at 1 Busch Gardens Blvd, Williamsburg, VA 23185, the park hosts nationally recognized artists at the Royal Palace Theatre. The drive from Hampton can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on tunnel traffic, and organizing a convoy for a large group can be chaotic.
Charter Bus Hampton offers seamless transportation from Hampton to Busch Gardens for school groups, corporate outings, and private parties. A charter bus rental allows your group to stay cool and entertained during the drive up I-64. You can utilize the onboard DVD players to watch movies or use the WiFi to upload photos of your day at the park. We can schedule a pickup time that allows you to stay for the fireworks and concerts without worrying about driving back to Hampton late at night. Call the park for event details, and let us get you there in comfort.
Transportation to the Virginia Beach Amphitheater
Sometimes the biggest acts land just across the water at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater. Located at 3550 Cellar Door Way, Virginia Beach, VA 23456, this massive outdoor venue hosts the largest touring acts in country, rock, and hip hop. However, anyone in Hampton knows that getting to Virginia Beach for a 7:00 PM show means battling the notorious Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) traffic during rush hour. One accident in the tunnel can delay your trip by an hour or more.
Don't let traffic ruin your concert vibe. When you book a party bus or charter bus with Charter Bus Hampton, the travel time becomes part of the fun. Your group can socialize, listen to music on our premium sound systems, and enjoy beverages (if everyone is of age) while your driver handles the stop-and-go traffic. We will drop you off as close to the gates as possible and be waiting for you when the encore finishes. Avoid the chaotic parking lots and the stress of the tunnel by riding with the pros.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hampton Concert Transportation
How far in advance should I book my bus rental?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as you have your event date confirmed. For major events like the Hampton Jazz Festival or popular summer concerts at the Amphitheater, demand is extremely high. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, we understand that plans can come up suddenly, and we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.
Can the bus wait for us during the concert?
Yes, absolutely. When you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Hampton, the bus and driver are yours for the duration of your rental period. Your driver will drop you off at the venue and then park the bus at a designated location nearby (or in the venue lot if permitted). They will wait there until the event is over or until the scheduled pickup time. This ensures that your ride is ready to go the moment you are ready to leave, providing a safe and immediate departure.
What bus sizes do you have available?
We offer a wide variety of bus sizes to accommodate groups of all types. Our fleet includes 18-passenger, 20-passenger, and 25-passenger minibuses, which are perfect for smaller groups, wedding parties, or VIP shuttles.
