Multi-day and long-distance trips may qualify for discounted package rates.

If your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for your driver. The hotel must have parking available for the bus and should be rated at least two stars or better. If you prefer, we can arrange lodging for the driver and add the cost to your invoice. For longer trips requiring multiple drivers, each driver will need separate accommodations.

Your quote includes the base rental fee, driver’s wages, and fuel, but does not cover additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or hotel accommodations for the driver. Any tolls or parking charges incurred during your trip will be billed separately or collected in advance. Be sure to factor these potential expenses into your budget when planning your trip.
