Your quote includes the base rental fee for the vehicle, driver pay, fuel, and any applicable taxes. It does NOT include tolls, parking fees, or driver lodging expenses on overnight trips—those will be billed separately or paid directly during the trip. Gratuity for the driver is optional but recommended (standard is 10%–20%). You’ll receive a complete breakdown of all charges before you book.
You should book your bus as soon as you know your travel dates—ideally at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Buses frequently sell out during busy periods like spring break, graduations, and fall wedding season. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles are available, but you’ll have more options and better pricing if you reserve early. A deposit is required to hold your reservation, with the balance due before departure.
