Graduation transportation for Baltimore-area high schools, colleges, and universities.

About our Graduation Ceremony & Party Transportation — Baltimore
Graduation season runs mid-May through mid-June in Baltimore, with ceremonies and family celebrations scheduled back-to-back across the weekends. Johns Hopkins University commencement, Loyola commencement, Towson commencement, Loyola, Goucher, UMBC — plus dozens of Catholic schools, public high schools, and charter schools — all run their events in a three-week window. Families traveling from out of town bring their own transportation logistics: airport pickup, hotel-to-ceremony shuttle, dinner transport, and post-ceremony party transport.
The vehicle split: coach bus for extended family groups (especially when grandparents and cousins are all flying in together), stretch limo or party bus for the graduate's own party, and sprinter vans or sedans for multi-stop family day-of logistics (Mom's hotel, Dad's hotel, the graduate's apartment, ceremony, dinner). Many bookings are multi-vehicle: the graduate in a party bus with friends, family in a coach, out-of-town uncles in a sprinter. Dispatch coordinates the whole thing as one package.
Planning lead time: 6-8 weeks for commencement weekends, which book up fast especially at Johns Hopkins and Loyola. We also handle parent-pickup transportation from graduation ceremonies to restaurant dinners — a common pattern is ceremony at 10 AM, family lunch at 1 PM, graduate's party that night. Single booking, multiple legs, one chauffeur.

Frequently asked questions
How do I coordinate transportation for out-of-town family?
Share flight details with dispatch. We schedule airport pickups, hotel drops, ceremony transport, dinner, and return — all on one master itinerary managed by a single dispatch contact.
Can the graduate have a separate party bus from the family group?
Yes. Multi-vehicle bookings are routine for graduations. Graduate goes with friends in a party bus; family rides in a coach or sprinter. Both coordinated under one contract.
How long before graduation should we book?
6-8 weeks for commencement weekends (May-June peak). Johns Hopkins and Loyola weekends book fastest — 8-10 weeks is safer.
Do you handle multi-day grad weekend trips?
Yes. Families arriving Thursday for a Saturday ceremony often book the full weekend — airport pickup Thursday, dinner Thursday, family brunch Friday, ceremony Saturday, graduate's party Saturday night, airport Sunday.
Can we do a campus tour with the transportation?
Absolutely. Common pre-ceremony request — coach or mini-coach with a campus-map itinerary. Chauffeur handles the driving; someone in your group narrates.
What about parking at the ceremony?
Most Baltimore graduation venues have designated family-car lots or nearby parking garages. Our chauffeur drops at the main ceremony entrance and reparks to the designated bus lot for the duration.
