Six Stars!
I wish I could give First Charter six stars! We rented a bus for our wedding transportation and it could not have worked out better. The highlight of the experience was their customer service. Communication was clear and concise with the local contacts and they even touched base a few days beforehand. Coming in at about half the cost of other rental services I could not recommend them enough!

Buses for Wedding
We rented two buses for our wedding guests and it was perfect! The buses showed up and dropped everyone off at the exact times we asked for and both drivers were very lovely people. Thank you so much!!

Excellent service for a wedding shuttle
I booked three buses for a shuttle service between Downtown Portland, ME, and my wedding venue 40 min outside Portland.
Working with First Student was fairly smooth through the entire booking process. Even better, on the day of our event the drivers were excellent, adapting to the difficult parking situation for our pickup location and being flexible for our drop-offs.
While the booking process was a bit confusing at times switching between phone and email, they were extremely responsive and helpful via phone. Wait times for a call-back were usually less than 1 day and any changes to the itinerary were very easy to make (no charges up to 5 days before the event!).
Prices were also quite reasonable and were clearly communicated. I would suggest working with them.

The driver was excellent
The driver was excellent. So self-contained and considerate. He was very easy going with the departing passengers as they slowly found their way on the bus.
