Popular local destinations include the Science Museum of Western Virginia, Mill Mountain Zoo, the Virginia Museum of Transportation, Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest, the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, and the Booker T.

Comfortable Buses With Modern Amenities
Traditional school buses aren’t built for long-distance travel, but our charter buses are—which is why so many teachers and administrators are making the switch to private charter bus rentals for field trips and other school events. Our vehicles come loaded with modern amenities that make the journey as enjoyable as the destination, including reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, tri-color LED accent lighting, video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, Wi-Fi connectivity, 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, and full HVAC climate control. Larger models also feature rear galley areas with sinks and microwaves plus onboard restroom facilities with handwashing stations. It’s a difference you’ll notice as soon as you step onboard.
On-campus Shuttles & Intercampus Transportation
Need to move students and faculty around campus or between satellite locations? Coach Bus Roanoke provides custom shuttle solutions tailored to the needs of your institution. We’ve worked with colleges and universities across Virginia to design routes that connect academic buildings, residence halls, parking lots, and off-campus housing areas on a schedule that fits their class times and operating hours. Our larger buses offer room for up to 56 passengers per trip, while smaller models can navigate tighter campus streets without sacrificing comfort. Onboard Wi-Fi and power outlets allow riders to catch up on email or coursework during the ride, turning transit time into productive time. We also handle intercampus shuttles between main campuses and extension centers in nearby cities.
Transportation for School Sports, Band, and Academic Events
Getting your team to the big game or competition is easy with a school charter bus from Coach Bus Roanoke. We provide athletic travel for middle school, high school, and college teams across all sports—including football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball, track & field, wrestling, swimming, and more—as well as band, choir, and academic competition transportation. Coaches love having storage space for equipment bags and instrument cases, while players appreciate the comfortable seating and entertainment options. Recent trips include shuttling high school athletes to VHSL state tournaments in Richmond, transporting marching bands to regional showcases, and running college club sports travel to opponents in the ODAC and ACC leagues.
Greek Life & Student Organization Travel
If you’re part of a fraternity, sorority, or student organization planning an event off campus, let Coach Bus Roanoke handle the transportation so everyone arrives together and on time. We’ve provided charter buses for formal dances, philanthropy events, leadership retreats, and social outings to destinations like Smith Mountain Lake and downtown Roanoke. A private bus keeps your group on a set schedule and eliminates the need for carpools or rideshares. Smaller vehicles are available for executive board meetings and committee trips.
