Trailways Group Travel and Coach Charters Tips

The key to selecting the right motorcoach company is:

Be Sure and Ask The Right Questions!

When speaking with any passenger transportation company about a group move or coach charter, be sure to determine the following point(s) when discussing bus rental pricing and travel package costs:

Discuss motorcoach size and what amenities you would like. In your discussions with the motorcoach company representative, be thorough in discussing your needs and any special amenities (such as an entertainer bus). This will avoid misunderstandings later.
Ask about policies for deposits, final payment, refunds, and cancellations. Who pays for the driver’s hotel room? Find out if the driver’s room is included in the cost of the charter, or if you or your group will be responsible for covering the cost of the driver’s hotel room.
Are video-equipped motorcoaches available? Educational videos or movies can help pass the hours. Sports teams can utilize the travel time to review game videos.
When comparing quotes, make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Not all motorcoach companies are created equal. Things like driver experience, equipment maintenance, and company stability are often overlooked; but their value is of the utmost significance.
Provide a trip itinerary to your bus company. This document will insure your drivers are thoroughly prepared to execute your journey as efficiently and smoothly as possible.

You can discuss these or any other questions with your Trailways representative. We are here to make your next trip safe, secure, comfortable, enjoyable, and reliable:
