First Charter Bus Rental was considerate of the pricing of our bus. We are a church and they gave us a good deal. The driver was very nice and professional and accommodating! Thank you!

You didn’t show up on my wedding day.
You didn’t show up on my wedding day which left my guests scrambling to find a way to the ceremony. I tried calling multiple times the day of the wedding and nobody answered. Completely unacceptable.
