Top Wedding Transportation Questions & Answers
1. Can a bus do multiple trips or shuttle groups?
Yes, it is actually recommend using one vehicle for multiple runs on wedding charters as a way to minimize cost and allow for more flexibility for the group. Please remember to plan for ample round trip travel times to make sure no group is at risk of late arrival!
2. Are we able to decorate on the bus?
Yes, this can be a fun way to put your individual touch on the event, but beware there are some limitations. None of these decorations can obstruct the driver’s view of the road. In these cases, allow for the driver to have the final say in approval as the group’s safety should be top priority. For more information please read our guide to decorating a bus.
3. Do buses have Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi on buses is something that is slow moving to more and more carriers throughout North America. If it is a top priority, let the company you are working with know at the time of reservation, so that can tell you if they have that type of equipment in their fleet.
4. Would a motor coach be too big for a residential driveway or subdivision?
Standard Motor coaches are over 45 feet long! This would likely be too large for most residential driveways and many subdivisions. Make sure to let the company you are working for know, locations that bus is scheduled to make stops and pickups at. This is important so that they can be sure the bus will fit.
5. Can the bus stay over the allotted time frame?
There are several variables that affect our ability to accommodate overage hours. We will always do our best to facilitate customer needs. Do understand that last minute changes can affect pricing and they cannot always be met.
