Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your charter bus reservation. The deposit amount varies but is typically a percentage of the total rental cost. This deposit ensures that your selected vehicle is reserved for your dates and cannot be booked by another party. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the start of your trip. Contact our team at 858-466-0360 for specific deposit requirements related to your booking.

Final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. The exact deadline will be specified in your contract, but it’s typically required several days to a week prior to departure. This ensures all funds are processed and cleared before the bus is dispatched. Failure to pay the balance on time may result in cancellation of your reservation and forfeiture of your deposit. Please review your agreement for specific payment terms and deadlines.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least six to nine months in advance, especially if you’re traveling during peak seasons like summer, spring break, or major holidays. Large events—such as weddings, conventions, or sporting events—also tend to fill up quickly, so early reservations are essential. However, we understand that plans can change unexpectedly, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. Even if your trip is just a few weeks away, give us a call—we may still have availability in your area. Once you know your travel dates, destination, and approximate group size, it’s never too early to get a quote and lock in your reservation.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should be a minimum of three stars and must have parking available for the bus. If you prefer, we can arrange the hotel room and add the cost to your invoice. For multi-day trips, drivers are entitled to at least eight hours of rest between shifts. Proper accommodations ensure your driver is well-rested and compliant with federal regulations.

No, your charter bus quote does not include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or permits. These costs vary depending on your route and destination and are the responsibility of the customer. You will need to pay these fees directly during your trip.
