Answer 1 :
Try looking on craigslist under "community', then under "rideshare." You can watch for rides offered and/or post a message for a ride needed. You do need to use common sense. If the ride is offered by a male driver esp..you can ask for references and call them. It should be a bit cheaper than Greyhound, and it will definetly be cleaner, more comfortable, and your luggage will not be lost. Some people may be worried about riding with a stranger, but my experience is that it was FAR better than Greyhound...and being stranded for hours in filthy bus stations because there is no driver avail. for the connecting bus, and having your luggage lost ...even on a direct trip from one city to another ( I never figured out how they managed that).
Answer 2 :
Rent a car
Answer 3 :
You can take Amtrak. They run the "Crescent" each day, leaving DC at 6:49pm and arriving in Charlottesville at 8:52pm. The train station isn't too far from UVa. Here's a link to Amtrak's website: http://www.amtrak.com
Answer 4 :
