The Easiest Way to Send a Baltimore Group to Washington, D.C. or Philadelphia
Through a network of independently owned bus companies, Charterbusservicesbaltimore.com makes it simple to arrange group transportation on two of Baltimore's most-traveled long-distance corridors. Washington, D.C. sits just 40 miles south on I-95 or the scenic Baltimore-Washington Parkway (I-295) — about 45 minutes off-peak and the right call for school trips to the Smithsonian, government group travel, and corporate meetings near the Capitol. Philadelphia is 95 miles northeast on I-95, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours, and draws Baltimore groups for Eagles and Phillies games, Liberty Bell Center visits, and convention travel.
One bus keeps everyone together on both corridors, and one flat rate replaces the parking costs and the carpool math. Compare available vehicles and pricing for your dates in under a minute!
Ocean City, Hersheypark, and Gettysburg Trips Made Easy for Baltimore Groups
That long weekend your group has been planning? Charterbusservicesbaltimore.com makes the transportation the easy part. Ocean City is 165 miles east on US-50 — about 2.5 to 3 hours — and one of the most popular summer group destinations in the mid-Atlantic. Hersheypark is 95 miles north on I-83 to US-322, roughly 1.5 hours, with free parking for vehicles carrying 15 or more passengers; buses follow Park Boulevard to the Hersheypark parking toll booths.
Your bus parks free when it carries 15 or more passengers, follows Park Boulevard to the Hersheypark toll booths, and rolls out the same day because overnight parking is not allowed on the Hersheypark parking and directions page. Gettysburg National Military Park is 80 miles north on I-83 to US-15, about 1.5 hours, with free motorcoach parking in the bus and RV lot near the Baltimore Pike entrance at the Visitor Center (1195 Baltimore Pike, Gettysburg, PA 17325). Your bus follows the Baltimore Pike or Taneytown Road entrance signs to Gettysburg's bus and RV parking lot, keeping the oversized vehicle out of the main visitor parking bays.
A full-size motorcoach with luggage bays handles the gear for all three. Compare options and get your quote now!
Multi-Day New York City and Atlantic City Bus Trips from Baltimore
We know that multi-day trips from Baltimore take more planning — and Charterbusservicesbaltimore.com makes the transportation side of it fast. New York City is 185 miles northeast on I-95 through the New Jersey Turnpike and Lincoln Tunnel, about 3 to 3.5 hours depending on traffic, and draws Baltimore groups for Broadway shows, Yankees and Mets games, and corporate travel. Atlantic City is 175 miles northeast via I-95 and the AC Expressway, roughly 2.5 to 3 hours, and a perennial favorite for casino group trips, bachelorette weekends, and senior outings.
For multi-day trips, full-size motorcoaches with onboard restrooms, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays make the miles easy. Just note that driver accommodations on overnight trips are separate from your bus quote — mention your itinerary when you request pricing!
Ravens Game-Day Shuttles and Orioles Group Travel from Across the Region
Book a long-distance bus for Ravens home games at M&T Bank Stadium (1101 Russell St, Baltimore, MD 21230) or Orioles games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards (333 W Camden St, Baltimore, MD 21201) and your group rides in together instead of fighting I-95 in separate cars. Charter bus drop-off for M&T Bank Stadium is on Hamburg Street, with bus parking available in Lot H off Ostend Street — advance purchase required. Camden Yards drop-off is at the Breezeway on the east side of the Warehouse next to Gate A, with bus parking in Lot B off Russell Street, also purchased in advance.
Oriole Park bus parking is a $40 cost when purchased in advance for a group outing, and day-of bus spaces are limited. Groups coming in from Columbia, Annapolis, Bel Air, or across the Baltimore region make the game-day shuttle one of the most popular long-distance uses of a charter bus. Compare buses for your next game date right now!
Coordinating Group Travel to Preakness, Graduations, and Major Maryland Events
Coordinating transportation for the Preakness Stakes at Laurel Park (198 Laurel Race Track Road, Laurel, MD 20725) is one of the highest-demand transportation days in Maryland every year — and the third Saturday in May (May 16, 2026) fills up the available bus network fast. Laurel Park has general parking at 198 Laurel Race Track Road, with a weekend parking pass available in advance. For Preakness 151, your bus goes to Laurel Park rather than Pimlico; the race returns to Pimlico in 2027.
University of Maryland graduation in College Park, Johns Hopkins commencement on the Homewood Campus, and Maryland State Fair group trips to Timonium all pull from the same regional bus supply in the spring and late summer. For any of those dates, booking three to six months out is the right move — waiting costs more and risks no availability at all. Call 410-844-5590 to hold your date today!

If you'd rather talk it through, the team at 410-844-5590 is available every day to build a custom package around your itinerary.
For most long-distance trips, booking three to six months out gives you the best vehicle selection and pricing. For high-demand dates — Preakness Stakes weekend, Ravens playoff games, prom season across Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County, and spring graduation weekends at Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland — six months or more is strongly advised. The regional bus supply for those dates moves quickly, and waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates or no availability.
New York City is approximately 185 miles northeast of Baltimore via I-95 through the New Jersey Turnpike and the Lincoln Tunnel. Off-peak, expect about 3 to 3.5 hours. Friday afternoon departures heading into the city, and Sunday evening returns, can push that to 4.5 to 5 hours depending on Turnpike and tunnel congestion.
MDTA's Baltimore tunnel guidance flags northbound Fort McHenry traffic from 2 to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and southbound traffic from 4 to 6 p.m., so your bus needs extra room outside the off-peak estimate. Build a 30-minute buffer into your itinerary on either end, and your group coordinator should confirm the pickup window when the bus is booked.
Yes, and the arrangements vary by destination. For Hersheypark trips, overnight bus parking is available at Hershey Lodge and Hotel Hershey, both of which accommodate motorcoach groups with designated staging areas. For New York City, buses commonly stage in the New Jersey Meadowlands area overnight and return to midtown for day-of pickups.
For Atlantic City, most major casino resorts — Harrah's, Borgata, and Caesars — have dedicated motorcoach lots. Driver accommodations on overnight trips are separate from your bus quote; mention your full itinerary when you request pricing.
Yes. Passenger charter buses use the Fort McHenry Tunnel on I-95, which is the I-95 crossing; the 13'6" height restriction applies to the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel on I-895. The Maryland Transportation Authority's Fort McHenry Tunnel page separates the I-95 crossing from Baltimore Harbor Tunnel restrictions.
Oversized or overweight commercial freight vehicles use the I-895 Harbor Tunnel Thruway as the alternate, but standard motorcoaches traveling I-95 through Baltimore use the Fort McHenry Tunnel for both northbound and southbound runs. If your group has any questions about the specific vehicle and route, mention it when you request your quote so the right bus is matched to your itinerary.
Ocean City is approximately 165 miles east of Baltimore via US-50 East, a straight shot across the Bay Bridge and through the Eastern Shore. Off-peak, the drive takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Summer weekends — particularly Memorial Day through Labor Day — see significant US-50 congestion near the Bay Bridge and approaching Ocean City.
Plan departures early in the morning to avoid the worst of it, and build a buffer on the return. A full-size motorcoach with onboard restroom and luggage bays is the practical choice for a beach trip with gear.
