Shuttle Bus Rental in DC, Maryland & Virginia
A shuttle moves people. Our buses move people who end up dancing. Same loops, same chauffeur, same one-bill simplicity — the difference is what happens between stops.
Shuttle Logistics, Handled — Loops, Waves and Timed Pickups
Hotel-to-venue loops, event waves, last-call runs — we run shuttle logistics every weekend across the DMV. You get a licensed chauffeur, a planned route, and a dispatcher who actually answers. The only thing we skip is the beige interior.
Wedding blocks are our most common shuttle job: a 29–40 passenger bus loops the hotel and the venue in two or three waves, and the guests arrive already in the mood the reception wants them in. See wedding transportation for how couples run it.

Questions, Answered
How does shuttle-loop pricing work?
Hourly, like everything with a chauffeur — a 4-6 hour block covers most wedding loops. Price your exact loop at quote.justlimos.com.
How many people per shuttle wave?
Our buses run 10 to 40 passengers per trip — a 40-passenger bus clears a 120-guest hotel block in three waves. See the large bus fleet.
Do you do airport runs?
Group airport runs, yes — BWI, DCA and Dulles with a bus full of people. We're not a sedan car service; groups are the whole point.
What makes it better than a standard shuttle?
Music, lighting and a social layout for the same class of hourly money. The chart above is the honest comparison — for guest experience there's no contest.
