Local planning
Where we collect you. Richmond requests most often begin in Carytown, The Fan District, Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe Slip. Send the exact address, including which side of the street. That is what sets the drive time we quote you.
Where we drop. Destinations named for Richmond include The National, Altria Theater, Richmond Coliseum (planned replacement), Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Some have a coach door away from the main entrance. Worth knowing before the group is standing outside.
Book these early. Local calendars around Richmond Folk Festival, Friday Cheers (Brown's Island), Richmond Grand Prix cycling and 2nd Street Festival (Jackson Ward) concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Check the current schedule with the organiser — this is not a live calendar.
What people book here. Scott's Addition brewery crawl (The Veil, Ardent, Hardywood, Väsen); Carytown dining and shopping stroll; Shockoe Bottom bar crawl; The Fan District restaurant loop. Give us the full sequence rather than the highlights; the last stop is usually the one that moves the number.
Airport groups. Richmond trips connect to RIC. Send flight numbers and bag counts; the meeting point is the commercial-vehicle zone, not the passenger curb.
Beyond Richmond. Trips that continue into Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Arlington or Norfolk are quoted as one itinerary; see the Virginia guide.
Richmond Coliseum (planned replacement) and VCU Rams basketball: the start time fixes arrival, the exit crowd fixes pickup. Agree one meeting corner and give the driver a 30–45 minute cushion after the final whistle.
The Veil Brewing Co., Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and Scott's Addition brewery crawl (The Veil, Ardent, Hardywood, Väsen): fix the stop order and last pickup time first, name one group contact for the driver, and check each venue's group entry policy.
Richmond Folk Festival, 2nd Street Festival (Jackson Ward) and Dominion Energy Christmas Parade: read the organizer's street-closure notice before locking a route, and meet outside the heaviest foot traffic with a firm departure deadline.
Vehicle fit
Pick by confirmed headcount, then by luggage and trip length. Your contract names the exact vehicle, its seating capacity and what is on board.
| Group size | Usual fit | Why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–14 passengers | Stretch limo or Sprinter van | Tight downtown streets, valet-style arrivals, and shorter time blocks. | See limousines |
| 14–24 passengers | Mid-size party bus | The most-requested size on our own sites; standing room, sound, and a restroom-free footprint that fits most venue curbs. | See party buses |
| 24–40 passengers | Large party bus or mini coach | Wedding shuttles, corporate transfers, and big birthday groups that need everyone on one vehicle. | Compare large buses |
| 40+ passengers | Full-size coach bus | Luggage bays, restrooms, and highway comfort for long days, tournaments, and multi-city itineraries. | See coach buses |
How pricing is built—hours, mileage, day of week, season, stops—is explained on the pricing page. Every quote is trip-specific and all-inclusive.
