The trip itself was smooth and safe
The trip itself was smooth and safe. Both drivers were professional. The only glitch was one bus arriving late to the LaSalle pick up point.

Buses were clean and drivers were terrific, but drivers got lost and the group was delayed in their arrival. We assumed the drivers of 3 buses mapped things out ahead of time. We would use them again assuming they knew how to get there.

Absolutely Horrible
We hired the bus to make two trips for our following our wedding to the hotels and they never came back around for the second trip to pick up the bride, groom, and bridal party. The driver had our contact information and could have called to confirm before they decided to drive home. After calling the office it took 45min for the driver to say they would be another 20min before they could get there. Luckily we had some wedding guest come and get us.

Exceptional Service by First Charter
We were very impressed with the service we received from First Charter. They were a little late for the initial pick up, but was still able to get everyone to the venue on time. The bus driver, I’m sorry I don’t know her name, was on time for both evening pick ups, and even went back for the folks left behind, which happened to be the bridal party! Thank you for providing exceptional service! You kept all of our guests safe, by providing a way back to the hotel!

buses were punctual
buses were punctual. no complaints about drivers. Trying to book them was one of the worst customer service experiences of my life. Spent an absolutely wretched 20 hours on hold over the course of a week and a half. We weren't sure we were going to be able to make the trip until the day before
