Our trip went well and the buses…
Our trip went well and the buses arrived on time, both at the start of the day as well as for the return portion of the trip. I was nervous after a less than quality experience in the past with First Student, but this trip went very well as the drivers actually knew how to get to Lansing, MI. (Note: It would have been more reassuring if the driver didn't drive with the printed directions in his hand/resting on the center of the steering wheel the entire trip...literally. I actually asked if he would like me to pull up the directions on my phone and guide him so he would no longer need to try and read small print (while driving a bus full of children!) I appreciate needing directions- but perhaps print just the key information in large, bold print. Better yet, have GPS/map service on a phone to use. Again, overall the trip went well. We did reach our destination safely. Thank you!

We rented the bus for 3 hours to be a shuttle for our wedding from the venue to the hotel and had our bus driver until 1:30am. Our guests saw our bus driver leave at 12:20 for what they thought was a shuttle ride and he never returned leaving 30+ people who had been drinking and needed a safe ride home stranded. No one answered our multiple phone calls to the “day of/after hours” contact number or has called me back 2 days later after my multiple voicemails. Terrible experience.
They were very courteous

Detroit Fun Day with our Driver!
Tanisha was an absolute stellar driver. When it came to being flexible she was there with a helping hand to make out trip better. I really appreciate all she did to make our day a success.

We really appreciated the buses arriving early and the flexibility your drivers demonstrated. They were polite and professional. They were safe drivers and allowed us to eat our lunches on the bus because it was a cold and windy day.
The driver was here 15 mins before
The driver was here 15 mins before and was friendly guy. Bus was neat and clean. Ours was a very small ride around the town for my son’s birthday. He and his friends were so happy. Very pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

Thank you for sending Mike to be our driver. He was great and if we order a bus in the future we most definitely request for Mike.
Great for Private Party rental!
Very easy to book the service and the driver was on time (despite the snow), drove safely and was very friendly! Would use the service again.
Positive Experience
Our bus driver, Carol, came 1 hour early and was very pleasant. We were able to share each other's cell number and confirm location and parking spots beforehand.
Calling and booking the bus was easy and straightforward. A quote was sent to me promptly and a confirmation email followed.
I would definitely book with First Student again.
Great experience!
Professional drivers, excellent communication, and helpful service. We will definitely be using First Charter again for our school's field trips!
Excellent service and on time
