Do I pay for parking, tolls and other fees?  We try to include these fees in our initial quote, but if there are additional fees during the trip due to deviations from the initial itinerary, they will be your responsibility.

For multi-day trips, do I need to reserve a room for the bus driver?  For overnight trips, it will be your responsibility to book the driver's hotel room.  Most hotels will "comp" the bus driver's room (provide the room free of charge) when you book rooms for a large group.  Ask to speak with someone in group sales at your hotel to ensure that they provide a comp room for the driver. 
 
 Please make sure the hotel has ample parking to accommodate a bus.

Do I need to tip the bus driver?  Although a tip is not mandatory, a portion of the driver's pay customarily comes from a gratuity, as an incentive to provide excellent service.  Our drivers strive to cheerfully provide you with the best possible service, and appreciate receiving a tip for their extra efforts.  If there is anything your driver can do to make your trip more comfortable, or enjoyable, please feel free to ask. 

 
 

You are encouraged to contact our office with any comments (positive or negative) about your driver, the bus or the service you have received.

 

Can we bring food or drinks on the bus?  We do allow both food and drinks on our buses.  Please use trash receptacles, which are provided at the front and rear of each bus.  Please try to avoid spills and help us keep your bus clean. 

At the discretion of the bus driver, we reserve the right to restrict eating and drinking on the bus if we feel you have abused or damaged our equipment.  We also reserve the right to charge you for damages to our buses.
 

Is smoking allowed on the bus?  For the comfort and safety of our passengers, we do not allow smoking on our buses.  We will provide rest stops and/or meal stops which give opportunities for smoking.
