We used First Charter for our wedding to shuttle our guests from the hotel to the venue and back. Driver was on time and easy to communicate with.
Very courteous driver who arrived early with a nice warm bus. And as our day changed our driver accommodated our changes.
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 o... See more

Great Job for Wedding !!!!!!!
Both buses rented from First Charter Bus Rental showed up right on time and transported our large group of wedding guests to/from our wedding venue without any issues. Have another Chicago wedding planned for August 2022 and wiil plan to use First Charter again for that event…..
Initial contact was great…everything…
Initial contact was great…everything explained (except whether or not we wanted an air conditioned bus), and paperwork was received in a timely manner. Bus driver was excellent…very accommodating and courteous. However, I did need to possibly change the number of hours that we needed the bus, and the experience was not so good. Options not totally given until I asked questions, and her attitude was awful. Too bad I didn’t get her name. 😡
Great service and driver!
The bus arrived on time and the driver was very nice and professional. The bus was in good condition and we did not encounter any issues. The bus was ready and waiting for us at end of event. Thanks for the service!

We appreciate your support to Hindu temple. Drivers were very supportive and took care of everyone with great respect. We have a long relationship with First Student and I recommend them for your private requirements. Once again appreciate all bus drivers.
Split Decision
Our preschool group required two busses. I was on the lead bus. It was the nicest ride. Very smooth, local trip to theater'
- no highways. The report from the second, following bus, was underwhelming. The driver hit curbs twice while making right turns. The hits were pretty intense, not just bumps or rubs. A child was thrown *from window seat- over a teacher into the isle. Another child from across the isle hit head on window frame and required an ice pack. We have experienced rough rides in the past, but never needed ice packs or had injuries 😕

Every thing was great for the most part. But he was a few minutes late. I didn't like when I called the charter manager the day before to get the driver's information he didn't have it because he didn't assign it yet that really aggravated me and I wasn't sure if I had a driver and then he was late. Other than that it was a good experience our driver was great he was friendly and flexible.
Wedding Review
Last bus of the evening left with 2 guests on it and about 30, including the bridal party, without a ride in a semi-rural area. Some guests were even waiting outside in view of the bus when it left.
