Kennedy Heights Montessori…
Our school Kennedy Heights Montessori Center likes that First Charter is able to service our transportation needs. The bad is that the driver's assigned to the field trips we've taken over the last few months have all gone to the wrong location to pick up the children with the correct address listed on the confirmation. They fortunately make it in time to get the children to their destination.
Great Driver and experience with First Charter
Dennis our driver was very friendly and on schedule for our entire event. I would definitely use first charter bus rental again!
From the onset
From the onset, First Student staff (Al Chang) was very helpful and professional. He walked us through the entire process of reserving the bus.
Driver was prompt and our group had a wonderful experience.
Thank you Mr. Chang and the crew at First Student Princeton.
Outstanding shuttle service
I received a text from one of our drivers when they arrived (early which was awesome). He was so friendly and receptive to anything we asked for. I was even able to communicate with the driver after the event to get numbers of passengers we had so we could evaluate the value for our money. This was a huge event and knowing we could count on our drivers for the shuttles and that we had clear lines of communication was key. We will absolutely continue to use this business and recommend to anyone.
Everything went well
Everything went well. The only thing is that the bus driver was a little late picking us up from the start. Also the bus driver was very strict. I understand their are safety precautions. It would be helpful if those rules were posted inside the bus. It took a little bit of the fun out of the experience. However we appreciate the bus driver’s concern for safety.
Things went well on the second day on…
Things went well on the second day on our conference, but the first day was frankly terrible. All of the buses were significantly late, with one being 45 minutes late. it made for an awful experience for our staff, volunteers and students.
The drivers were very nice, but they didn't have appropriate directions (even though i was copied on the information given to them).
On time and efficient.
Rayvon was an excellent driver, kind and expedient. He did a great job, even when on our way back the bus began to have some mechanical difficulty.
The bus came late
The driver was not very friendly
The driver was not very friendly. I like the air-conditioned bus and she was on time which was appreciated, but when I asked to see her license (which I am required to do according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services), she told me I was violating her privacy and didn't want to show me. I told her she could cover her address - all I needed to see was her name and the expiration date. She very rudely stuck it out for me to see and was visibly annoyed. When it was time to load for pick-up she complained about the size of the parking lot and huffed when I walked over to her to ask about where she wanted the kids to load. Overall, I thought she was rude and unpleasant and would not like her to be our driver on future trips.
Driver was very respectful and safe!
Great experience
Great experience! Jerome was flexible and helpful when our trip had to be extended due to delays in our concert plans. We’d definitely recommend and use them again!
Excellent work!
The bus drivers were very well organized and kind to all of the girls and their dates. I felt very safe on the ride to our event and everything went as planned.
Everything was great with no problems
Everything was great with no problems. Ivy was the best driver. Thanks for a great experience.
Ray was great
Ray was great. He was very helpful in coordinating pickup and drop off locations, he arrived early and was extremely easy to work with. Thank you!
Thank you!
The drivers were on time-- early even! They were attentive to when we needed picked up, operated safely, and stayed together (it'snerve wracking for a coordinator who can't ride both buses at the same time to keep things moving!)
They were great!

Everyone was very friendly and always making sure we were taken care of. Our bus driver was very nice and punctual.

We received excellent service from First Charter. They were extremely efficient, friendly, and supportive about scheduling our trip, and our students and teachers greatly enjoyed their driver! I would highly recommend this company!
