Scranton Government & Military Charter Bus Rentals

Scrantoncharterbusservices.com is an advertising and quote-comparison website, not a bus company. You fill out one quick form with your trip details — pickup location, date, group size, and destination — and you're taken to a results page showing vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Scranton and northeastern Pennsylvania. Compare your options, pick the bus that fits your group, and book right online.

No account required, and a free quote is always available by phone at 272-228-2290.

You enter your trip details once — where you're picking up, where you're going, how many people, and when — and the platform returns available buses and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving the Scranton area. Review the vehicles and packages side by side, choose the one that fits your mission and budget, and complete your booking through the national booking platform. Transportation is provided by independent operators.

For custom itineraries or multi-day government contracts, call 272-228-2290 and a live agent will put together a package for you.

Both installations require advance coordination for commercial vehicle access. At the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (156 Cedar Ave, Scranton, PA 18505-1138), all vehicles enter through the main security gate and visitor vehicles must be pre-registered. At Tobyhanna Army Depot, charter buses coordinate access through the Visitor Control Center on Hap Arnold Boulevard — DoD identification or an escort is required beyond the gate.

When you submit your quote, note the installation destination so the booking reflects the correct pickup and drop-off logistics. Call 272-228-2290 for help planning a trip to either facility.

The Scranton plant has a specific bus approach: take I-81 to Exit 185 for the Central Scranton Expressway, then take the first exit for Cedar Avenue; if you miss it, use Lackawanna Avenue and turn onto Cedar Avenue, with the entrance two blocks down on the right. Your bus reaches the plant through the Cedar Avenue entrance instead of routing the group to the old Old Forge Highway address; the complete route is on the official Scranton Army Ammunition Plant directions PDF.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP) (100 Terminal Dr, Avoca, PA 18641) is about 10 miles south of Scranton via I-81 S to Exit 178. Charter bus pickup and drop-off is at the Ground Transportation area outside the baggage claim exit on the arrivals level. Have your group coordinator call the bus forward once every passenger has collected luggage and is staged curbside — don't call for the bus while people are still at the carousel.

AVP is a smaller regional airport, so the curb moves quickly. Confirm current ground transportation guidance with the airport at (570) 602-2000 before your group's arrival date.

AVP does not allow unattended vehicles in front of the Terminal Building; vehicles left at the terminal curb can be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense. Your bus should come to the Ground Transportation area only after everyone and every bag is ready, following the airport's official AVP curbside and parking guidance.

Book as early as possible — ideally four to six weeks out for routine moves, and two to three months out for large-scale events like drill weekends, annual training mobilizations, or government delegation travel during peak legislative session periods. National Guard drill weekends fall on the same calendar across multiple units, which means multiple groups in the region are looking for buses on the same dates. Waiting until the week before limits your vehicle options and typically increases the price.

Call 272-228-2290 as soon as your travel dates are confirmed to lock in the best available vehicle at the best rate.

Yes! Multi-day packages are available through the network. The run from Scranton to the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg is about 130 miles via I-81 S — roughly two hours each way — and Fort Indiantown Gap is about 80 miles southwest via I-81 S. For trips that span multiple days, the booking can cover the full itinerary including return transportation.

Just include your full trip dates, all stops, and your total headcount when you fill out the quote form, or call 272-228-2290 and a live agent will build a custom multi-day package around your schedule.

For small inter-agency teams, federal delegations, or contractor groups of 8 to 14 people, a sprinter van or 15-passenger minibus is typically the right fit — compact enough to navigate downtown Scranton's Courthouse Square corridor and easy to stage near the Federal Building or County Courthouse. For full unit moves, large contractor groups arriving at AVP, or mobilization transportation to Fort Indiantown Gap or Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, a 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays handles the headcount and the gear. Compare both options side by side through Scrantoncharterbusservices.com — enter your group size and the platform shows you what fits!
