Penn Quarter is great for pre-game energy and terrible for parking, so a charter bus to Capital One Arena from Alexandria drops your group at the doors instead. Between Capitals games, Wizards games, and a packed concert calendar, the blocks around Gallery Place fill up fast and the garages empty slowly. Pickup is at a set spot when the buzzer sounds.
If you’re bringing a crew, Charter Bus Alexandria can get everyone there together. Call 703-705-7785 or get a free 30-second quote to lock in your ride.
How Far Is Capital One Arena From Alexandria?
It’s about 20 minutes and 8 miles from Old Town Alexandria, traffic permitting, usually via the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the 14th Street Bridge into downtown. Event nights in Penn Quarter slow that down, so getting dropped near the arena beats inching toward a garage in your own car.

Why Take A Bus Instead Of Driving Or Rideshares
A few reasons groups choose Capital One Arena group transportation:
- Parking. Downtown garages near the arena are limited and pricey on event nights. One bus means no parking math.
- Staying together. Rideshares split your group and surge after the final whistle. A bus keeps everyone on one schedule, there and back.
- A simpler night. No one in your group has to drive or hunt for a spot in Penn Quarter.
Drop-Off, Pickup, And Parking Logistics
Capital One Arena is surrounded by dense downtown blocks, so your bus drops the group close to the entrance and then stages in a permitted area during the event rather than parking on the street. After the game or show, you’ll have a set pickup point so the group isn’t working through the Gallery Place crowd looking for the bus. Agree on a firm post-event meeting time and spot before you head in, and let us know about any pre-game stops you want to make.
Which Bus Is Right For Game Or Show Night
We match the vehicle to your headcount, and you can compare them all on our buses page:
- Sprinter van (up to about 14): a small office crew or family group.
- Minibus (15 to 35): a team, a birthday group, or a block of season-ticket holders.
- Charter bus (50 to 56): a large outing, corporate group, or fan club.
- Party bus: keeps the energy up on the ride in and out.
Larger coaches can include WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, climate control, and onboard restrooms.
| Vehicle | Seats | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Small crews, VIP groups |
| Minibus | 15 to 35 | Teams, birthdays, season-ticket groups |
| Charter bus | 50 to 56 | Large outings, corporate groups, fan clubs |
| Party bus | Varies | Celebrations and group nights out |
More Than Capitals And Wizards
Capital One Arena runs a full calendar beyond hockey and basketball: major concerts, family shows, and special events fill the schedule all year. The parking math is the same for any of them, which is why a bus is worth it whenever you’re bringing a group. Catching a different DC game?

What It Costs And When To Book
How much a charter bus rental costs comes down to your group size, the vehicle, the date, and how long you need it. A single round trip runs less than an all-day reservation with stops.
