great experience
Our experience with First Charter is always a positive one. With this trip in particular, our bus driver was very patient as our large group got together on the bus. It was much appreciated that our driver was able and willing to drop us off at our location and return again after the school district's afternoon bus route to pick us up.

Marta was amazing! She was early to pick us up, and she was so kind about all of the stops we wanted to make during the trip. Plus, she was so gracious about the traffic on the interstate on the way home. Thank you!! I hope she will be able to drive us again next week!

First Charter Bus Trips
This is not our first and will not be our last bus rental from First Charter Bus Rental in Villa Park. We have scheduled several bus trips to lessen the hassle of driving and parking for our parishioners. We use First Charter any time one of our ministries needs transportation.
Always asking for Tyrone as our driver, he always is polite and accommodating to his passengers.
In addition, First Charter has always been understanding for changes in schedules and/or cancellations.
