There is something special about returning to Lexington. Whether it’s been five years or fifty since you walked the Brickwork or the Parade Ground, alumni reunions are about one thing: reconnecting.
However, as classes grow and reunion schedules get packed with dinners, tailgates, and off-campus parties, the “togetherness” often gets interrupted by the logistics of travel. Between navigating narrow Lexington streets and finding rare parking spots near campus, the group often ends up split across multiple cars or rideshares.
If you’re planning your next return to W&L or VMI, here is why booking a private shuttle is the smartest move for your class or friend group.
The Party Starts at the Hotel Door
Why wait until you reach the restaurant or the tent to start catching up? When your group travels in a luxury Mercedes Sprinter, the stories and laughs begin the second you board. Instead of three people focused on GPS and traffic, the entire group can focus on each other. A private shuttle turns “travel time” into “quality time.”
Solve the “Lexington Parking” Puzzle
Lexington is a charming, historic town, but it wasn’t built for the influx of thousands of alumni vehicles during a single weekend. Finding parking near the W&L Colonnade or the VMI barracks during a major event is notoriously difficult.
- With a Shuttle: You get dropped off exactly where you need to be and picked up at the door when you’re done. No walking blocks in formal wear or hunting for a spot for 20 minutes.
Safety First (Especially for Evening Events)
Reunions often involve toasts to old times and late-night celebrations. Virginia’s winding valley roads and the strict enforcement of local traffic laws mean that having a designated driver isn’t just a good idea—it’s a necessity.
- The Professional Advantage: A professional chauffeur ensures that everyone in your group gets back to their hotel or Airbnb safely, allowing everyone to participate in the festivities without worry.
Custom Itineraries for “Hidden” Lexington
Many of the best reunion events happen off-campus—at a vineyard in the Shenandoah Valley, a private farm in Rockbridge County, or a brewery like Devils Backbone. These scenic spots are beautiful but can be a 20-30 minute drive from downtown.
- Flexible Routing: A private shuttle stays with your group. Want to add a quick stop at the natural bridge or a local overlook for a group photo? Your driver is on your schedule, not an app’s.
Comfort for Every Generation
Whether you are returning for your 10th or your 50th reunion, comfort matters. Our Sprinters offer:
- Easy Entry/Exit: High ceilings and wide doors make it easy for everyone to board.
- Climate Control: Stay cool in the Virginia humidity or warm during a brisk football weekend.
- Ample Space: No one is squeezed into a middle seat.
Plan Your Class Reunion the Right Way
