School Field Trip Bus Rentals in Alexandria

A field trip from Alexandria to the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (10th St. & Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20560) is one of the most popular school trips in the entire region, and for good reason. The museum is free, endlessly educational, and just a short drive up I-395 from Alexandria. Charter buses use signed National Mall drop-off and pick-up zones, with bus parking available at designated locations along Ohio Drive and Independence Avenue near the Washington Monument.

The Smithsonian does not provide public parking, so your class can unload at its signed zone while the bus parks separately until pickup. Because Coachbusalexandria.com connects you with a large network of school field trip bus companies, you're never stuck with limited availability on popular dates. Compare buses, photos, and pricing in seconds, then book the right coach for your class!

With one search, you can compare compact 15- to 35-passenger minibuses from a network of Alexandria-area transportation providers, making it easy to move a single classroom efficiently without paying for more bus than you need. Minibuses are a smart fit for field trips to destinations like the Torpedo Factory Art Center (105 N Union St, Alexandria, VA 22314) on the Old Town waterfront, where tight streets and limited parking make a smaller vehicle far easier to maneuver. For waterfront trips, motorcoaches load at 401 King St., since the three King Street blocks nearest the waterfront are pedestrianized.

Short-term bus parking at 501 North Union Street requires an advance reservation and costs $5 per permit for up to four hours, which isn't included in your free price quote. Your class can board at the designated curb while the bus parks in its reserved space. Overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats keep students comfortable on the ride over.

Because Coachbusalexandria.com is not a bus company, you're comparing options from a large network, not just whatever one company has left on the lot. No account needed!
