Top 4 Things to Check with Your Charter Bus Booking
Usually, businesses in the travel and transportation industries offer special prices for early bookings, group packages, and event bookings, among others. If you're considering a charter bus for your group outing, make sure to check every detail of your charter bus booking before finalizing your transportation to ensure everything will go smoothly on the day you'll be using the rental.
When looking for a charter bus provider, you want someone who's been in the industry for many years. Longevity, in this instance, says a lot about the provider's reputation, so make sure to do your due diligence before making your charter bus booking.
Get the best deals with your booking
To make sure you'll get the best deal with your booking, consider the following:
1. Cancellation – What are the cancellation terms for your specific booking? There are providers that allow a full refund if you cancel within their specified time. There are also those that do not accept cancellations close to the booking date even if you have a legitimate emergency. Ask about rescheduling your booking, too, instead of canceling. Also, inquire about rescheduling too, if the trip needs to be cancelled for reasons beyond your control, i.e. weather disturbance, cancelled flights, etc.
2. Early bird promos – As mentioned above, there are providers that offer early bird discounts or special prices if you book early. The earlier you book, the higher the discount for most providers. There are also those that offer free services for early bookings instead of giving a discount. You might be provided with additional amenities, complimentary snacks, and so on, so make sure to check this detail as well.
3. Changes in booking – Does the provider allow for last-minute changes to the itinerary, pick-up and drop-off locations, stops during the trip, and so on? Sometimes, making last-minute changes can't be helped so check the provider's flexibility in regard to details of your booking.
4. Chauffeur – It might seem unnecessary, but you must learn more about the chauffeurs that the provider hires. Find out the trainings they've undergone as part of the hiring process. Are they friendly and courteous? Have they been trained in road safety and emergencies?
Remember that the driver assigned to you will be with you the entire trip, which means their demeanor for the duration of your rental will have an impact on how your day will be like. If they're unprofessional and unfriendly, you can be sure this attitude will eventually affect everyone's mood, which could ruin the entire trip.
