Can I eat, drink, or play music on the bus?
Yes! You’re welcome to bring your own snacks. Alcohol is allowed in most areas, but it must be pre-approved. A $250 cleaning fee will apply if your group leaves behind a mess. Want to play music? Just ask for an AUX connection or speaker system when you book.
What should I know about my driver?
All drivers are licensed, vetted, and trained to ensure a safe and professional experience. Drivers are responsible for their own food and drinks, but if your trip includes an overnight stay, you’ll need to provide a hotel room. Tip your driver around 10% of your rental total in cash to thank them for their service.
Can I change my itinerary after booking?
Absolutely! Contact our 24/7 support team at (934) 333-5647 to request changes. If your trip runs longer than expected, you’ll be billed at an overtime rate based on your driver’s log.
What’s your cancellation policy?
If you cancel more than 14 days before your scheduled trip, you’ll only forfeit your 10% deposit. If you cancel 14 or fewer days before your pick-up date, you’ll be charged the full cost of your trip.
Can I request a specific bus model or color?
Yes, Sure! Some customers request buses that are either all-white or all-black for their group transportation. We cannot guarantee that your requested color will be available, but we’ll do everything possible to make it happen.
