Is alcohol allowed on the charter bus?

In most cases, yes, for services like wedding guest shuttles or a birthday party trip, passengers who are 21 and older are allowed to bring and drink alcohol onboard. Please let your reservation specialist know that having alcohol aboard is a part of your travel plans.

A tip is always appreciated after a job well done. We recommend giving a tip that’s 5-10% of the total cost of your trip. Tips should be provided in cash.

Do I need to provide my driver accommodations during overnight trips?

Yes, if you’re traveling a long-distance and overnights are included in your itinerary, you will need to book a hotel room for your driver each night of your trip. Drivers can only operate a bus for 10 consecutive hours before they’re legally required to take an 8-hour break.
