Soccer is a group sport on both sides of the touchline, and a DC United match at Audi Field is best with your whole supporters section riding together. The stadium sits in Buzzard Point with limited parking, so a group in separate cars ends up scattered across the Southwest Waterfront. A charter bus rental keeps the section together from Alexandria to the gates, drops everyone at one spot, and brings the group home as a unit after the final whistle. Charter Bus Alexandria runs this kind of group trip year-round.
This guide is for the supporters groups, company outings, youth soccer teams, and friend crews heading to Audi Field from the Alexandria area. It covers the short drive and drop-off, the Buzzard Point parking picture, choosing a vehicle, and what the trip costs. Call 703-705-7785 to pick a match, or request a free quote for a price.
The Drive and the Drop-Off
Audi Field sits in Buzzard Point on the Southwest Waterfront, about six miles and fifteen to twenty-five minutes from Old Town Alexandria. Parking around the stadium is tight and event pricing is steep, so the bus earns its keep on the drop-off rather than the distance. The driver unloads the group near the gates and stages nearby, so the supporters section walks in together and meets at one place after the match.

Why a Bus for a Match
A supporters section is meant to move as one, and that starts before kickoff. Parking a dozen cars at Buzzard Point and then finding each other at the gate is the opposite of that. One bus is a single cost, one pickup, and one arrival, with the tifo and the gear riding along instead of crammed into trunks. For company outings and youth teams the same logic holds, since everyone arrives together and on time.
Who Books an Audi Field Bus
Supporters groups charter a bus to keep the section together for big matches. Companies use a DC United night as a client or employee outing. Youth soccer clubs bus in with families to watch the pros after their own games. Friend groups make the match the centerpiece of a night on the Waterfront. For all of them, the bus removes the Buzzard Point parking scramble. Book through our sporting event transportation and we handle the rest.
Which Bus Fits the Group
Match groups are about headcount, so size to the section plus a little room. A big supporters group often runs more than one coach.
| Vehicle | Seats | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to 14 | A small group of friends or a VIP night |
| 20-passenger minibus | Up to 20 | A birthday crew or small office outing |
| 35-passenger minibus | 15 to 35 | A larger group or a team with families |
| 56-passenger charter bus | 50 to 56 | A big group, run in multiples for a section |

What It Costs and When to Book
How much an Audi Field charter bus rental costs comes down to the vehicle size and the hours from pickup to home. As a rough guide, a minibus generally starts around $150 per hour and a full-size coach runs about $180 to $500 per hour, so a game night or a field trip commonly lands in the range of roughly $1,500 to $3,800 depending on the size and the hours.
