The driver of our first bus was awesome, on time, and very friendly. The second bus driver was late arriving for our pick up and then left the bus when we arrived at our destination. She was dropped off by someone eventually to pick us up fifteen minutes late.

Fun 50th birthday pub crawl
I rented a bus for a local pub crawl for a 50th birthday. It was perfect - adults on a school bus brings us all back! Driver was on time and fabulous and the bus clean and comfortable (believe it or not)! First charter quote and confirmation process isn't the most efficient so I had to call them to followup, but when I called, they were quick to answer the phone or call you right back. I highly recommend them for your event.

First group did very well and the bus was clean, operable with no safety issues. I do wish the prices were lower especially agreed we have used them so many times.

Jeff was an excellent bus driver
Jeff was an excellent bus driver. He arrived early and clearly communicated the plan for the day. He waited for us at the field trip, and was ready to go when we needed to head back. Not only did he drive safely, but he was kind and friendly. We would love to have Jeff as our driver for a future field trip!

The bus arrived right on time at the Church parking lot. He was ready to go
after the ball game we had attended. Nice new bus ! Cordial driver.
The seats however were designed for kids, they were "cramped" for us
larger people. So the school bus is just fine for short trips. But a longer
trip, ie say 80 or more miles might be pretty un-comfortable. Thanks
