The minibus driver was their designated driver, ensuring everyone enjoyed the day safely. The bus rental included a driver, and the group only paid for fuel and tips. The total cost for the minibus rental was around $1,800, which broke down to $225 per person. This was much cheaper than arranging taxis or rideshares for the whole day. Everyone agreed that traveling together on a comfortable bus made the birthday celebration unforgettable. The group plans to use Chesapeake Charter Bus for future outings to Virginia Beach and Norfolk.
Wedding Shuttle Service to Chesapeake Conference Center (200 words)
A couple planning their wedding at the Chesapeake Conference Center needed a reliable way to get 100 guests from their hotel to the venue. They booked three 35-passenger minibuses for a 5-hour window on their wedding day. The buses ran continuous shuttles, dropping guests off and picking them up after the reception. Each minibus rental cost around $900 for the day, making the total transportation budget $2,700. This was a fraction of what they had been quoted by other providers.

Company Shuttle for Chesapeake Office Relocation (200 words)
A Chesapeake-based tech company was relocating its headquarters and needed to shuttle 50 employees from the old office to the new one in Great Bridge for a week. They booked two 50-passenger charter buses for 7 days, running morning and evening commutes. Each bus rental was $1,800 per day, but the company secured a weekly discount, bringing the total to $22,000 for both buses. This was less than the cost of reimbursing employees for parking and gas. The buses were equipped with WiFi and power outlets, allowing employees to start their workday during the 30-minute commute. The company’s HR manager said the shuttle service greatly improved employee morale during the transition. Many staff members said they would have considered quitting if they had to drive the longer commute daily. The company plans to offer the shuttle as a permanent perk and will use Chesapeake Charter Bus for future corporate events and conferences at the Chesapeake Conference Center.
