Ride the Rox – a new way to get to Portsmouth, Virginia

August 17, 2021
Rapid Overland Express busses

Transportation to Portsmouth – Ride the Rox

Coastal Virginia Magazine lists Portsmouth’s Olde Towne as one of the “Top 5 Coolest Neighborhoods” in Hampton Roads, and for good reason. A city laden with culture, history and prestige beckons travelers from all across the Commonwealth to trot the cobblestone streets of Olde Towne, visit the locally owned bars and restaurants, see a movie in a classic theatre, and stay in luxury at the Renaissance Portsmouth waterfront hotel.  Numerous ways exist in getting to Portsmouth including planes, trains, and automobiles, but only one matches the level of sophistication one expects when traveling to such a desirable location — the ROX.

 

Overstuffed leather seating on board the RoxRapid Overland Xpress (ROX), a Hampton Roads-based transportation company, provides ticketed trips aboard its luxury motor coaches that epitomize how travel should be done. With non-stop service from Washington, DC, and Charlottesville, VA, the ROX provides a level of service unmatched in the industry and commensurate with the experience you will receive in the city of Portsmouth.  The Rox brings you to Towne Center in Virginia Beach, which   is just a short (15) fifteen minute Uber ride to Portsmouth.

Onboard Ammenities

On board meal served by coach attendantThe price of a ticket includes a catered meal from a local favorite restaurant (TASTE), hi-speed Wi-Fi connectivity, and transportation within one of only twenty-two (22) oversized leather seats. That means no more sitting behind the wheel in traffic or getting off the highway for a roadside meal.  The ROX also has its ABC license, enabling it to serve craft beer, premium cocktails and wines from around the world. These items are served by an on-board coach attendant dedicated to enhancing and elevating your transportation experience.

 

When business or leisure brings you to Portsmouth from DC or Charlottesville, consider the ROX – TRAVEL REIMAGINED.  And for something truly special, try the ROX charters.  Take the entire coach for you and your friends and enjoy exploring the region, tailgating at a game, holding a business meeting, or making a daytrip to someplace special.

 Tickets and Chartering Information

–Tickets are purchased directly from RidetheROX.com. Travel times and specific drop-off locations are also listed.

Be sure to take advantage of the Fall Special when booking in September and October — $99 each way.

Contact the Sales Department at (844) 484-3769 with any questions, or email Cameron Ross (jcameron@ridetherox.com) with other inquiries regarding scheduled runs and unique charters.
