Typical DC-area range: $1,200 - $3,500 per day depending on trip length, distance, and vehicle configuration. Full-day corporate charter (8-10 hours within DC metro): $1,800-$2,500. Multi-day trips (Baltimore Cruise Terminal transfer, Philly weekend trip, NYC round-trip): $3,000-$5,500 for 2-3 days depending on driver overnight requirements.
Federal-agency contracts, university group transportation, and school field trips often run at the lower end of these ranges due to volume discounts and simpler routing. Wedding motorcoaches and complex multi-venue itineraries run at the higher end due to hold time at ceremony sites, wait at photo locations, and split-shift driver arrangements.
Typical DC-area range: $175 - $400 per hour with 4-6 hour minimums standard. Prom night per-person: $60-100 for a 20-30 passenger bus running 5-6 hours. Bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, and night-out groups: $800-$2,400 total for 4-6 hours depending on capacity.
Small party buses (15-passenger) run $175-225/hr; mid-size (20-30 passenger) run $225-300/hr; large (36-50 passenger) run $300-400/hr. Peak Saturday nights (May prom season, October wedding season) can add 10-20% premium; Sunday-Thursday bookings often run 10-15% below Friday-Saturday rates.
Typical DC-area range: $150 - $275 per hour. Corporate shuttles running 8-hour days: $1,200-$1,800. Airport transfers (single point-to-point IAD to downtown): $300-$450 flat depending on vehicle size. Wedding guest shuttles (6-8 hours running multiple loops): $1,400-$2,200 total.
Executive Sprinter vans (10-14 passenger) run $150-200/hr; mini coach buses (18-35 passenger) run $175-275/hr. Recurring corporate shuttle programs — daily commuter routes, weekly regional loops — receive 15-25% discount versus one-time booking rates in exchange for guaranteed multi-week retainer agreements.
Typical DC-area range: $125 - $250 per hour with 3-4 hour minimums standard. Wedding day (5-8 hours covering ceremony through reception): $625-$2,000. Prom limos (5-6 hours): $625-$1,500. Executive airport transfer (single trip): $200-$375 flat.
Standard 8-passenger Lincoln MKT limos run $125-175/hr; larger 10-14 passenger stretches (Chrysler 300, Cadillac Escalade Stretch) run $175-250/hr.
