Choosing the right charter bus service can make or break your trip. Whether you’re planning a wedding, school outing, or church event, here are seven key questions to ask before booking.
-
What Vehicles Do You Offer?
Find out the sizes and styles of buses (mini coaches, motorcoaches, vans) and the amenities available—Wi-Fi, restrooms, power outlets, luggage space. The goal: comfort without paying for unused seats.
-
Are You Licensed, Insured, and Safety-Focused?
Ask about DOT registration, maintenance schedules, and liability coverage. Make sure drivers hold commercial licenses and go through background checks.
-
Who Will Be Driving?
Confirm driver experience, rest policies, and whether there’s a backup plan if your driver becomes unavailable.
-
How Is Pricing Structured?
Request an all-inclusive quote—fuel, tolls, driver wages—and ask about extra charges for waiting, parking, or extra miles.
-
What’s the Plan for Routes and Timing?
A reputable company will help map out pick-ups, drop-offs, and stops, and have procedures for traffic or weather delays.
-
What Comforts Are Onboard?
From reclining seats to climate control and accessibility features, make sure the bus suits your group’s needs—especially on longer trips.
-
What’s Your Cancellation and Contingency Policy?
Check deadlines for refunds, and ask how breakdowns or severe weather are handled.
