UVA Homeride

Has anybody used Homeride VA to get their child home? How was the experience? Convenient? Value for money? We need our son home next weekend and it seems that Homeride could work - leaving UVA at 4.30pm on a Friday and dropping off in Hampton at 7.30pm. He has not found somebody with a car who is coming to the Beach that weekend yet, so Homeride might be the only option. Thanks!

I believe advance reservations are needed?

My son used it quite a bit last year to get home to Northern Virginia. I believe he purchased the ticket at the bookstore. It was very convenient.
