First Charter was awesome to use

First Charter was awesome to use! They were so kind and so helpful. I had troubles with my payment going through and they helped me through the process. On top of it, their bus drivers were so kind.

The trip went great

The trip went great. The driver was very easy to work with.
My only concern was the inability to contact anyone the day of our event. The bus was a little late arriving so I tried to call. The contract gave a phone number to use in case we had a need. When I tried to call multiple times no one answered. I left a message as directed and I still haven’t received a response.

Confusion and delays

Our trip confirmation email had the wrong dispatch location. None of the locations seemed to have our confirmed trip in their system. Bus was over an hour late to pick our students up to travel to camp, and nearly an hour late for our return trip, even though we called and confirmed the trip was on the books and arrival/departure times.

Skilled and Gracious Customer Service

The young woman who helped make our reservation and respond to questions about details was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. I really appreciated her making the experience so quick and easy.

Thank you

Buses were perfect. Clean and warm. Drivers were kind and helpful. One driver was late but only by a few minutes and called to say she was lost. Super thankful to the drivers for spending Christmas eve taking us to the game. YCKC will remember First Charter for future needs.

late and scary

No one got back to me with a quote via email or phone after multiple calls and emails which has happened many times.
Driver was 25 minutes late which made us late for our field trip. The driver was scary and not super safe. He was very nice but we were all very nervous.

The actual bus and driver were great what I didn’t like was the communication. No one reached out to me after they confirmed my ride so when the day came I had no idea if someone was coming to get my party. They did end up coming but a few minutes late which made us start to think they were not coming.
