Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing the driver’s accommodation. The driver must have a private hotel room each night—not a shared room—to comply with federal rest regulations. If your hotel offers complimentary rooms for bus drivers, please confirm this in advance and notify our team. Otherwise, you will need to reserve and pay for the driver’s room directly. The hotel should provide secure parking for the bus and be located within reasonable proximity to your lodging. If you have questions about driver accommodations or need assistance booking a room, contact our customer service department at 737-286-9900.

No, your quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip. These charges are the responsibility of the chartering party and must be paid separately. Tolls will either be billed after the trip based on actual usage or collected in advance as an estimate. Parking fees at hotels, venues, or event sites must be paid directly by the client. Please budget accordingly and contact our office if you need assistance estimating these additional costs.
