Washington, DC 35-passenger minibus rentals: what recent trips billed
At 7:45 on an August morning, a 35-passenger minibus checked in at the west base of the US Capitol at Peace Circle, boarded a congressional staff delegation, and spent the day visiting ServiceNow in Vienna, a Qualcomm Thinkabit Lab session at Virginia Tech in Alexandria, and Peraton in Reston before returning them to the Capitol by late afternoon, for $1,320 all-inclusive. That trip is Washington work in its purest form, and it’s the kind of day this vehicle runs constantly here. Another recent invoice served an April event day at Joe’s Movement Emporium in Mt. Rainier: a morning transfer from the College Park Marriott, a lunchtime circulator to Mix’t Food Hall, and an evening return, three scheduled windows across one day for $1,550. Published 2026 Washington rates put 25-passenger minibuses at $120 to $160 per hour, with the larger minibus classes modestly above, and every figure on this page comes from our own invoices. Metropolitan Shuttle arranges this class across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia through one coordinator.

Key takeaways
Recent Washington 35-Passenger Pricing
Recent Washington 35-passenger invoices ran $1,320 for a full multi-stop day into Northern Virginia and $1,550 for an event day served in three scheduled windows, driver, fuel, and insurance in the number.
Multi-Stop Itinerary Transportation
Multi-stop itineraries with timed holds are this vehicle’s specialty: the delegation day ran three scheduled campus visits with the bus holding at each, one contract, one price.
Capitol-Area Pickup Planning
A Capitol-area pickup is routine, not exotic: staging at Peace Circle, timed check-ins, and security-conscious routing are things your coordinator plans before the morning, because in this city they have to be.
Scheduled Transportation Windows
A day can be served in scheduled windows instead of one held block: the April event booking ran a morning transfer, a lunch circulator, and an evening return as three timed segments on one contract, matched to the event’s actual rhythm.
What did recent Washington 35-passenger trips cost?
| Trip | Shape | Price |
| US Capitol (Peace Circle) to ServiceNow (Vienna), the Qualcomm Thinkabit Lab at Virginia Tech (Alexandria), and Peraton (Reston), timed holds at each, 7:45 am check-in, 4 pm return, 35 passengers, August 2026 | Full multi-stop day, ~8.5 hours | $1,320 |
| College Park Marriott to Joe’s Movement Emporium, morning transfer at 8 am, lunchtime circulator to Mix’t Food Hall 12:25 to 1:15, evening return at 5:45, 30 passengers, April 2026 | Event day in three scheduled windows | $1,550 |
The two rows are two ways to buy a day. The delegation held its vehicle continuously, 7:45 to 4, and paid $1,320 for the block. The event booking bought three precise windows spread from 8 am to 6 pm, morning in, lunch loop, evening out, and paid $1,550 for a day that was longer end to end but idle in the middle. Both prices are honest for what they cover, and the choice between the shapes belongs to your schedule, not ours: tell your coordinator when the group actually moves, and the quote follows the real day.
What is a 35-passenger minibus actually like inside?
The largest vehicle in the minibus family: 2×2 forward-facing seating for 35, high roof with a stand-up aisle, climate control that holds through a July afternoon on the Mall, and PA for the guide or group leader. Overhead racks take daypacks and camera gear; there’s no restroom or underfloor bay at this size, which is why it owns the metro-area day and hands airport-luggage jobs to the coaches. It boards fast and fits where coaches negotiate: hotel drives, campus loops, and the tight staging that Capitol-area pickups demand. WiFi and wheelchair-accessible equivalents are available on request.
