Getting a large group across Washington, D.C. is genuinely difficult. The District's grid doesn't play nicely with big events — Rock Creek Parkway backs up on weekend evenings, the K Street corridor slows to a crawl during rush hours, and I-295 southbound toward Nationals Park can turn a 15-minute drive into 45 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. Add the reality that D.C. street parking is metered almost everywhere, National Park Service land surrounds half the major venues, and rideshare surge pricing hits hard on summer festival evenings, and the headache of coordinating multiple cars becomes very real, very fast.
Party Buses Washington solves all of that in one call. Since 2011, we have helped thousands of groups move efficiently through the District and across the Maryland and Virginia suburbs — everything from school field trips to the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History to stadium-scale fan runs to Northwest Stadium. We offer all-inclusive, transparent pricing online in under 30 seconds, a 24/7/365 reservation team ready to answer any logistics question, and a fleet that scales from compact 14-passenger Sprinter limos to full 56-passenger charter buses.
You get one quote, one point of contact, and a plan that actually accounts for D.C.'s specific road and parking quirks. Call 305-423-0045 any time to get started.
Browse 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses — all bookable with an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds. One vehicle handles any group size, from a bridal party of 10 to a full office of 56. Call 305-423-0045 or use our online tool for instant availability.
Not every group trip in Washington, D.C. calls for the same setup. For celebrations heading through Penn Quarter or the Navy Yard, our 15- to 50-passenger party buses bring a full-length onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, and wraparound perimeter seating — the party begins the moment the bus pulls away from the curb. For wedding shuttles between hotel blocks in Dupont Circle and ceremony venues in Georgetown, a 15- to 35-passenger minibus delivers powerful climate control and plush reclining seats in a size that actually navigates D.C.'s narrow residential streets.
Full-size charter buses include high-back reclining seats, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and deep undercarriage luggage bays — exactly what a school group hauling lunch coolers to the National Mall or a corporate team heading to an off-site in Northern Virginia actually needs. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available; just let us know ahead of your departure date.

Washington, D.C. is not a city that forgives bad transportation planning. Street closures around the National Mall happen with almost no notice — a presidential motorcade on Pennsylvania Avenue can shut down multiple blocks instantly, and major events at the Capitol routinely trigger road closures stretching to Constitution Avenue. The Virginia and Maryland suburbs feed into D.C. through a handful of bridges, and when any one of them slows — the 14th Street Bridge during a game at Northwest Stadium, the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge after a Nationals night game — the ripple effect reaches all the way back up I-395.
Parking at most venues is either extremely limited, extremely expensive, or both.
Party Buses Washington has been navigating these specific challenges since 2011. Our 24/7 reservation team knows the approach routes that hold up under game-day and festival pressure, the drop zones at D.C.'s biggest venues, and the timing that keeps groups on schedule when the city gets congested. You get transparent pricing with no surprises, a fleet that fits any group size, and ADA-accessible vehicles always on standby.
Thousands of groups across the District, Northern Virginia, and suburban Maryland have trusted us with their most important events. The fastest way to get an all-inclusive price for your date is to call 305-423-0045 right now.
Party Buses Washington handles group transportation for every occasion across the DMV. From airport transfers at DCA and Dulles to wedding shuttles in Georgetown, Nationals Park game-day runs, school field trips to the Smithsonian, and late-night bachelorette routes through U Street — whatever brings your group together in the District, we have a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 305-423-0045 to get moving today!
Washington, D.C. groups have three airports to choose from, and each one has its own logistics challenge. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) (1 Aviation Circle, Arlington, VA 22202) sits just across the Potomac from downtown — close enough in distance, but the George Washington Parkway approach and the limited surface roads around the terminal complex create real bottlenecks during morning peaks. Commercial buses use the curbside Ground Transportation zones on the lower Arrivals level at each terminal; once your group has collected luggage at baggage claim, have the group coordinator call our team to confirm the bus moves from the staging area to your terminal's commercial lane.
Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) (1 Saarinen Cir, Dulles, VA 20166) sits 26 miles west of downtown via the Dulles Toll Road (VA-267). The drive is straightforward in off-peak hours, but IAD's sheer size means a group arriving across multiple concourses can spend 20 minutes just getting everyone to the same point inside the terminal. Commercial buses stage at the designated Ground Transportation area on the lower level of the main terminal.
For groups flying into IAD and heading to conventions at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center or hotels in Foggy Bottom, the full 40-mile transfer is far simpler as one coordinated bus than as a fleet of rideshares. Call 305-423-0045 to book your D.C. airport shuttle today!
A D.C. bachelorette night can cover an enormous amount of ground — cocktails at a rooftop bar in Georgetown, dancing through the Adams Morgan corridor on 18th Street NW, then a final stop at a late-night spot in the U Street District — and that kind of multi-neighborhood itinerary is exactly where parking a car becomes impossible and a train doesn't connect the dots. A Washington, D.C. party bus rental keeps your group together across every stop, with a custom route built around wherever the night takes you.
Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come loaded with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and wraparound seating — so the energy between venues is as good as the energy inside them. No one has to stay sober to drive, no one loses the group in a rideshare mix-up at 1 a.m. on U Street, and no one is arguing about an Uber pool on the way home. Build your itinerary, tell us the stops, and we'll take care of the rest.
Call 305-423-0045 to plan your D.C. bachelorette party bus now!
A party bus arrival turns any milestone birthday into a full production — and Washington, D.C. has no shortage of venues worthy of the entrance. Whether the celebration is heading to a private banquet hall in the Maryland suburbs, a rooftop event space in Capitol Hill, or a restaurant in Penn Quarter, a birthday party bus rental in Washington, D.C. takes care of the logistics so the guest of honor and their crew are already having the time of their lives before they walk through the door.
Our party buses are fully customizable for the occasion — pre-load a custom playlist, coordinate the lighting color scheme, and book a vehicle size that fits your headcount without paying for empty seats. For Sweet 16 and quinceañera celebrations, the bus makes a stunning arrival moment at the venue and keeps the entire guest list together from house pickup to the reception hall and back home safely. For adult milestone birthdays hitting multiple restaurants and bars across the District, one bus handles every stop without anyone splitting off into a separate rideshare.
Call 305-423-0045 to start planning your D.C. birthday party bus!
D.C.'s concert circuit runs from intimate indoor rooms to an outdoor national park — and they all have their own parking and drop-off challenges. Capital One Arena (601 F St NW, Washington, DC 20004) sits in the middle of Penn Quarter, where commercial drop-off works on F Street, but parking in the surrounding blocks fills by late afternoon on show nights. The Anthem (901 Wharf St SW, Washington, DC 20024) at The Wharf is even tighter — the Wharf development was designed for pedestrians, parking is intentionally limited, and rideshare congestion on Maine Avenue SW after a sold-out show is significant.
A Washington, D.C. concert bus rental drops your group at the venue entrance and the bus waits until the final encore, so no one is hunting for a car in the dark along the Southwest Waterfront.
For outdoor shows at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, VA, and at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD, a charter bus is nearly essential — both venues have parking lot backups that routinely stretch 45+ minutes post-show, and Wolf Trap's park road approach is down to one lane in each direction. One bus, one planned exit, no scramble. Call 305-423-0045 for a concert bus quote!
D.C. is one of the country's biggest convention cities, and moving large corporate groups through the District takes more planning than ordering a fleet of rideshares. The Walter E. Washington Convention Center (801 Mt Vernon Pl NW, Washington, DC 20001) sits in Shaw, where commercial bus drop-off uses Mt. Vernon Place and 9th Street NW — the on-site parking garage has a clearance limit that rules out full-size coaches entirely, so a coordinated curbside drop keeps your team moving without the detour.
For corporate groups shuttling between downtown hotels and Northern Virginia campuses — the Arlington and Tysons corridors are dense with federal contractors and tech firms — a Washington, D.C. corporate charter bus handles the I-66 or I-395 bridge crossing without the per-person rideshare math adding up across the group. WiFi and power outlets mean the 40-minute commute becomes productive time rather than dead time. Executive Sprinter vans handle VIP transfers and smaller delegation pickups with leather seating and individual climate control.
Call 305-423-0045 to discuss recurring corporate shuttle routes or one-time event transportation!
Washington, D.C. hosts some of the most heavily attended public events in the country, and the city's road infrastructure does not expand to accommodate them. The National Cherry Blossom Festival draws over 1.5 million visitors to the Tidal Basin and the National Mall across its two-week run in late March and April — Metro platforms overflow, rideshare demand spikes during peak bloom weekends, and the roads around the Jefferson Memorial and the FDR Memorial become pedestrian corridors. A private charter bus in Washington, D.C. drops your group before the congestion peaks and picks everyone up at a prearranged spot, so no one is navigating a crowded city with no signal and a dead phone battery.
Capital Pride weekend in June brings hundreds of thousands of people to Pennsylvania Avenue and Dupont Circle, closing major corridors and pushing rideshare wait times to 30 minutes or more in the core neighborhoods. For private group celebrations timed around Pride, a party bus rental keeps the whole crew together from first stop to last call. Family reunions, church retreats, holiday parties, and graduation group outings all move more smoothly as one coordinated bus than as five separate cars hunting for parking at every stop.
Call 305-423-0045 and we'll build a custom plan for your event!
Prom season in the DMV — late April through May — is the single busiest stretch of the year for party bus and charter rentals across the District, Northern Virginia, and suburban Maryland. High schools from Montgomery County to Fairfax County to the District's own schools hold their proms within a tight six-week window, and the right vehicles fill up months ahead of the dates. For prom: book by December or expect premium pricing or no availability.
A typical prom rental for a group of 30 students — school pickup, a photo stop along the Tidal Basin when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, drop-off at a downtown D.C. hotel ballroom, and an after-party return — runs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when booked four to six months in advance. The same run booked two weeks before prom can reach $2,800–$3,500+ as availability tightens. Party Buses Washington works with parent committees and student group organizers across the DMV every spring.
We coordinate pickup logistics, amenity requests, and departure windows that keep the evening on schedule. Call 305-423-0045 today to secure your prom date!
The Smithsonian Institution alone gives Washington, D.C. school groups more field trip destinations than most cities have in their entire metro area — and that's before counting the National Zoo, the United States Botanic Garden, the United States Capitol, and the Library of Congress. The challenge is that most of these destinations sit on or adjacent to National Mall land, where commercial bus drop-off and parking follow NPS rules that vary by site and require coordination ahead of arrival.
For the National Museum of Natural History (10th St & Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20560), school group buses use the designated drop-off on Constitution Avenue; the museum's education team recommends contacting the group reservations office at least three weeks before your visit. For the National Zoological Park (3001 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008), charter buses use the Connecticut Avenue entrance with pre-arranged drop-off during school visit windows. Private charter buses carry TV monitors, a PA system, overhead bin storage for backpacks, and climate-controlled seating — a real advantage over yellow school buses on a hot D.C. June morning.
ADA-accessible vehicles are always available. Call 305-423-0045 to book a school field trip bus in Washington, D.C.!
Game day in Washington, D.C. means four different stadiums spread across the District and into suburban Maryland — and each one has its own transportation challenge. Northwest Stadium (formerly FedExField, now located at 1600 FedEx Way, Landover, MD 20785 during the transition period; new stadium in Northwest D.C. under development) draws Commanders fans into a notoriously tight parking and traffic situation — the Capital Beltway (I-495) and the Arena Drive corridor back up hours before kickoff, and post-game exits from the lots can run 45 minutes to an hour. A Washington, D.C. charter bus rental gets your fan group in and out on one coordinated plan rather than in a fragmented caravan.
For Nationals games at Nationals Park (1500 South Capitol St SE, Washington, DC 20003), the Navy Yard neighborhood has street parking that disappears by early afternoon on game days, and the South Capitol Street Bridge and Half Street SW approach both back up post-game. For D.C. United matches at Audi Field (100 Potomac Ave SW, Washington, DC 20024), the venue is steps from Nationals Park — same neighborhood, same parking constraints. For Wizards and Capitals games at Capital One Arena, parking in Penn Quarter costs $30–$50 on event nights at the nearest garages.
One bus handles your whole crew for a flat rate with a planned drop-off and a post-game pickup. Call 305-423-0045 to book your D.C. game-day bus!
Washington, D.C. wedding venues span some genuinely beautiful but logistically complicated settings. Ceremonies in Georgetown mean narrow brick streets, no on-street parking on weekends, and guests arriving from hotels across the river in Arlington or down in the Navy Yard neighborhood. Receptions at venues along the Southwest Waterfront mean navigating Maine Avenue SW and the limited parking structures at The Wharf — premium valet on Saturday evenings runs $35–$45, and guests making their own way have to navigate a neighborhood still expanding its traffic circulation.
A wedding shuttle in Washington, D.C. arranged through Party Buses Washington keeps your guests moving between the hotel block, the ceremony, and the reception without anyone walking six blocks in formalwear or waiting 20 minutes for a rideshare on a Saturday night. Our 14-passenger Sprinter limos handle the bridal party on the wedding day itself — premium leather, USB charging at every seat, tinted privacy windows. For larger guest shuttles, minibuses run clean loops between the hotel and venue without needing the parking space a fleet of cars would require.
Since 2011 we have coordinated hundreds of D.C.-area wedding weekends; we work from first quote to final drop-off as a single point of contact. Call 305-423-0045 for a free wedding transportation quote!
Virginia wine country is right at Washington, D.C.'s back door — the Loudoun County wine trail runs from Leesburg west along Route 7 and Route 9, with over 40 tasting rooms concentrated in a 20-mile stretch that is simply not manageable with a designated driver if you want to visit more than one or two stops properly. A Washington, D.C. winery tour bus rental lets the entire group taste freely at every stop. Popular wineries on the Loudoun trail include Boxwood Estate Winery (2042 Burrland Ln, Middleburg, VA 20117), Stone Tower Winery (19925 Hogback Mountain Rd, Leesburg, VA 20175), and Bluemont Vineyard (18755 Foggy Bottom Rd, Bluemont, VA 20135).
Closer to the District, the D.C. pub crawl circuit through Adams Morgan, Logan Circle, and Capitol Hill can cover 8–10 bars across three neighborhoods in a single night — which is three separate neighborhoods' worth of parking problems if you're driving. A party bus with LED lighting, a built-in bar, and Bluetooth sound keeps the energy consistent from the first stop to the last. No drawing straws for a designated driver, no splitting into rideshares at midnight, no losing half the group between bars.
Call 305-423-0045 for a D.C. winery or pub crawl bus quote!

We rented the bus for my mom's surprise 60th birthday and it could not have gone smoother. Booking took one phone call, the person who helped me was patient with all my questions, and the bus that showed up was even nicer than the photos. Lights, music, room for everyone to dance around Washington. My whole family is still talking about it.

Got this for a Sunday game day with my buddies and it was the move. No worrying about parking or who's driving home, just hop on, crank the playlist, and roll. The sound system actually slapped and there was plenty of cold storage for drinks. Pickup was right on time and the ride around Washington was smooth the whole way. We'll be back next season.
Priya R.
Our company used them to shuttle the team between a morning offsite and an evening dinner. Communication beforehand was clear, the schedule was confirmed twice, and everything ran exactly on the dot. The interior was clean and comfortable so people could actually relax between stops. Made the logistics of the whole day disappear, which is exactly what I needed.
Eleni K.
We booked a shuttle to ferry guests from the ceremony to the reception and it took so much stress off our wedding day. Guests loved it, nobody got lost driving around Washington, and everyone arrived together and in a good mood. The coordination over email was quick and the rate they quoted was the rate we paid. Genuinely grateful we found them.
Washington, D.C. party bus rental prices vary based on vehicle size, the date, and how many hours you need. Our rates: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Peak-demand dates — National Cherry Blossom Festival weekends, Capital Pride, prom season, and Commanders home games — see tighter availability and higher rates.
Weekend rates consistently run 20–30% above weekday rates. The fastest way to get an exact number for your date and itinerary is to call 305-423-0045 — we provide all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds with no hidden costs.
It depends on your destination in the DMV. Reagan National (DCA) is the closest airport to the District — about 4 miles from downtown — and the most convenient for hotel blocks in Dupont Circle, Georgetown, or Capitol Hill. Dulles (IAD) sits 26 miles west via the Dulles Toll Road and is the better arrival for groups staying in Tysons Corner, Reston, or Northern Virginia.
Baltimore/Washington International (BWI) is roughly 30 miles northeast and works well for groups with Maryland destinations. Whichever you land at, Party Buses Washington coordinates curbside commercial pickups at all three — one bus gathers the full group at baggage claim and delivers everyone to the same door, no rideshare split required.
The National Mall is National Park Service land, and commercial buses are not permitted to idle or park on the Mall itself. Drop-off locations vary by destination: Smithsonian museums along the Mall typically use Constitution Avenue NW (north side) or Independence Avenue SW (south side) for curbside passenger drop-off, with the bus then relocating to nearby commercial staging areas. For the Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial, buses use designated pull-through drop-off zones near Ohio Drive SW.
Some events on the Mall issue temporary permits with specific commercial vehicle corridors — your group's event logistics should account for this, and our reservation team can help you map the approach route before your visit.
The National Cherry Blossom Festival runs from late March through mid-April, with peak bloom typically falling in the last week of March or the first week of April — and that window is when every bus in the DMV fills up fast. For peak bloom weekend trips, book at least three to four months in advance to secure the vehicle and rate you want. Groups that wait until February or March for a late-March peak bloom trip frequently find limited availability and pricing 30–50% above off-season rates.
The festival draws over 1.5 million visitors; transportation demand across the entire metro spikes accordingly. Lock in your date as soon as your group headcount is confirmed.
Commercial bus parking near the Capitol campus is tightly regulated. The U.S. Capitol Police controls vehicle access on Capitol grounds, and street-level commercial vehicle staging on Capitol Hill is limited to specific windows and zones. For school groups visiting the Capitol Visitor Center (First St SE, Washington, DC 20004), the designated bus drop-off is on First Street SE or East Capitol Street, with the bus required to relocate immediately after passenger offloading.
Groups should contact the Capitol Visitor Center's group reservations office well in advance — they assign specific arrival windows to keep foot traffic and vehicle staging manageable. Our team maps the full drop-off and staging plan for Capitol visits when you book, so there are no surprises at the gate.
We recommend booking your Washington, D.C. party bus or charter bus at least three to six months in advance to secure the best price and vehicle selection. Early booking is especially important during prom season (April–May), the National Cherry Blossom Festival (late March–mid-April), Capital Pride weekend (June), and Commanders home games (September–January). Last-minute bookings typically mean higher rates and limited vehicle choices — once the right-size buses for your date are gone, smaller and pricier substitutes are the only option.
Lock in your bus as soon as your headcount and date are confirmed. Call 305-423-0045 right now to hold your date!
A Washington, D.C. party bus itinerary can span monuments, museums, stadiums, and waterfront dining — all within the same afternoon. Our list of popular D.C. party bus destinations is a solid starting point for building your group's trip. Call 305-423-0045 and we'll help you map the route.
Capital One Arena (601 F St NW, Washington, DC 20004) is the anchor of Penn Quarter — home of the Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals, and a year-round concert calendar that draws major touring artists to its 20,000-seat bowl. The arena sits four blocks from Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro, but for groups of 20 or more, coordinating Metro boarding and exit during a sold-out show is its own logistical challenge. Commercial bus drop-off on F Street NW puts your group steps from the main entrance, while street parking in Penn Quarter reaches $30–$45 in nearby garages on event nights.
Post-show, Capital One Arena rideshare pickup tends to back up on 7th Street NW — your bus is waiting and ready when you walk out. We highly recommend checking the official Capital One Arena directions page before your visit.
Address: 601 F St NW, Washington, DC 20004
Phone: (202) 628-3200
Nationals Park (1500 South Capitol St SE, Washington, DC 20003) is the home of the Washington Nationals and one of the best ballpark settings in the major leagues, with a view of the Capitol dome from the upper deck. The Navy Yard neighborhood around the park has transformed dramatically since the stadium opened in 2008, but street parking in the area is nearly non-existent for game days — residential permit zones cover most surrounding blocks, and the commercial lots on South Capitol Street run $30–$40 with pre-purchase required. A party bus rental to Nationals Park delivers your group to the Half Street SW entrance, steps from the home plate gate, while the group's seats, snacks, and celebrations are the only thing on anyone's mind.
Charter bus parking is available in designated commercial lots south of the park. We recommend checking the official Nationals Park transportation page before game day.
Address: 1500 South Capitol St SE, Washington, DC 20003
Phone: (202) 675-6287
The Anthem (901 Wharf St SW, Washington, DC 20024) is one of D.C.'s premier indoor concert venues — a 6,000-capacity room on the Southwest Waterfront with sight lines that make every seat feel close to the stage. The Wharf development where it sits was designed around pedestrian access, which means parking was deliberately kept scarce: the garage under The Wharf fills quickly on show nights, and Maine Avenue SW becomes congested from the 395 ramp well before showtime. Rideshare pickup after a sold-out Anthem show on a Saturday night means competing with every restaurant patron and hotel guest on the Waterfront at the same time.
A Washington, D.C. concert bus rental drops your group curbside on Wharf Street and picks everyone up at an agreed spot when the show ends — no surge pricing, no guessing whether your ride will find the right lane. Check the official Anthem venue page for current access details.

The National Museum of Natural History (10th St & Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20560) is one of the most visited museums on the planet — free admission, open daily, and home to the Hope Diamond, a 45-foot blue whale, and more than 145 million scientific specimens. It draws school groups from across the mid-Atlantic, and its Constitution Avenue location puts it squarely in the zone where National Mall commercial drop-off rules apply. Buses unload on Constitution Avenue NW at the museum's north entrance, then relocate immediately — there is no commercial staging on the Mall.
Groups should reserve timed-entry tickets through the museum's group visit program well in advance, particularly for spring trips when field trip season coincides with Cherry Blossom Festival crowds. Undercarriage luggage bays on a charter bus handle lunch coolers cleanly, so students aren't dragging bags through exhibits. Check the NMNH group visits page before your trip.

Wolf Trap (1551 Trap Rd, Vienna, VA 22182) is the only national park in the country dedicated to the performing arts — a 7,000-seat outdoor amphitheater tucked into 117 acres of Fairfax County woods, about 20 miles from downtown D.C. via I-66 and the Dulles Toll Road. The concerts are world-class; the traffic out is legendary. The single two-lane access road on Trap Road turns into a parking-lot queue after a sold-out show, and post-concert wait times to exit the parking area routinely hit 40–60 minutes.
A Washington, D.C. charter bus rental to Wolf Trap means your group skips the exit crawl entirely — everyone boards together, the bus has one clear departure window, and the drive back on I-66 is just the drive back on I-66. Wolf Trap also offers a Park & Ride shuttle from Wiehle-Reston East Metro station during the summer season for those coming from the city. We recommend checking the official Wolf Trap parking and transportation page before your visit.

Audi Field (100 Potomac Ave SW, Washington, DC 20024) is the home of D.C. United and one of the most intimate soccer-specific stadiums in MLS — 20,000 seats, tight sightlines, and a location in the Navy Yard/Capitol Riverfront neighborhood that places it steps from Nationals Park and the Anacostia Riverfront. That proximity is a feature on matchdays that coincide with Nationals home games — and a congestion problem. Half Street SW, the primary pedestrian corridor connecting both venues to the Navy Yard Metro station, gets packed on nights when both venues have events.
Street parking in the surrounding blocks is residential-permit-only or metered with a 2-hour limit. A bus rental to Audi Field drops your supporters' group at the Potomac Avenue entrance, avoids the parking battle entirely, and means the post-match debrief starts on the ride home rather than in a garage line. Check the official Audi Field parking page before match day.
