Are you planning a group trip on a motor coach /charter bus this summer? You want everything to go smoothly, the driver being professional and experienced, the bus arriving on time, and the entire trip going as planned. Here at Holiday Coach Lines, we go above and beyond just showing up, giving you piece of mind everything is taken care of.
Unfortunately, not all charter bus companies are honest and have your best interest in mind. For instance, we recently had a customer come from another charter bus service where they were charged almost double what they were originally quoted. The bus was late and there were serious questions about the driver.
This Situation Highlights Some Danger Areas For Charter Bus Services
Lack Of Transparency
Who is operating the bus and taking care of all the arrangements. As in the case above, everything was handled by a third party broker. It is important to work with the bus company directly.
Unclear On Policies
Similar to the situation above, they were left liable for quite a bit of money, even though their service was subpar.
Failure To Deliver Services
Some companies charge significant fees even if they don’t deliver on their end. This can create big problems for groups on a tight budget.
Not Working Directly With The Operating Bus Company
Make sure you have a relationship directly with the bus company themselves, not a third party. This way you have communications with the company responsible for the driver and vehicle. You will have clarity when it comes to quality, liability and terms.
Not Having Proper Insurance, Licensing, And Safety Record
Make sure you ask the charter bus service about their insurance, licensing, and safety record. A trustworthy company won’t have any problem sharing this information.
The buses should be registered with the state and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Have adequate insurance for all the passengers. Well maintained vehicles, with up-to-date logs, employ only qualified drivers and have the appropriate certificates.
Choose a company where reliability and safety are top priorities. The last thing you want is to be broken down on the side of the road and even the driver isn’t sure who to call.
