Yes. The Downtown Tunnel (US-58 / I-264) and the Midtown Tunnel (US-58) are both tolled crossings managed by Elizabeth River Tunnels. Commercial vehicles, including charter buses, are assessed at a higher rate than passenger cars based on axle count.
For current commercial vehicle toll rates, check the Elizabeth River Tunnels tolling site before your trip.
Yes, with restrictions. The Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel on I-664 connects Portsmouth to Suffolk and Newport News and is the primary crossing for groups heading northwest. VDOT enforces height and weight restrictions in the tunnel tubes — oversize or overweight vehicles require coordination with VDOT before travel.
Standard charter buses and minibuses generally comply with posted limits, but confirm with your transportation provider before routing a trip through the tunnel, especially for vehicles with rooftop equipment or luggage. Check current restrictions at Virginia Department of Transportation tunnel restrictions.
Charter bus drop-off for Norfolk Scope Arena is on Brambleton Ave near the main entrance. After drop-off, buses typically stage on surrounding city streets or in the Scope Plaza Garage, which charges $10–$15 for event parking. Because parking assignments can vary by event, contact Norfolk Scope's event operations team before your visit to confirm the current commercial vehicle staging area.
Your group coordinator should establish a post-event meet point — Brambleton Ave near the main entrance is the most common — before going inside.
A charter bus is the best option for a large group making the roughly 22-mile run from Portsmouth to Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater via I-264 E. The drive takes 30–45 minutes off-peak but can stretch significantly longer on concert nights when I-264 eastbound backs up approaching Virginia Beach. Charter bus and group drop-off is in the designated commercial vehicle zones off Cellar Door Way, with bus parking coordinated in advance in the venue's overflow lots. Book early — major amphitheater dates sell out bus availability fast.
Call 757-796-1970 to compare options!
Yes, and it is a great way to combine Portsmouth and Norfolk into one itinerary! The Elizabeth River Ferry connects Portsmouth's High Street Landing to Norfolk's Waterside District for $2 per ride. Buses cannot board the ferry — your bus drops the group at High Street Landing and stages nearby while your group crosses on foot, then picks everyone back up at the same point when you return.
On the Norfolk side, a second bus can be arranged to meet the group at the Waterside District ferry dock if your itinerary continues on that side of the river.
Prom season in April and May is the single busiest stretch of the year — Portsmouth, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Hampton school districts all hold prom during the same narrow window, and buses book out fast. Summer (June–August) is peak season for Virginia Beach Oceanfront events, the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater concert season, and Harborfest in Norfolk. Military change-of-command ceremonies and graduation events at Naval Station Norfolk and Portsmouth Naval Medical Center create concentrated demand at specific dates throughout the year.
Book three to six months out for prom and major summer events — the earlier you compare, the more options you will have.
For most trips in Portsmouth and Hampton Roads, booking two to four weeks out gives you solid availability and reasonable pricing. For high-demand dates — prom season (April–May), major amphitheater concerts, Harborfest weekend in June, Virginia Beach summer weekends, and military event dates — book four to six months in advance. Waiting until the last minute on any of those dates means higher prices and fewer vehicle choices.
The earlier you compare through Newportnewscharterbuscompany.com, the better your options. Call 757-796-1970 right now to lock in your date!
