Customer Service & Drivers
The Customer Service at the 1-800 was amazing! I called 2 days before my event after another bus company cancelled on me. The Customer Service representatives were wonderful about acting quickly to locate 2 buses for me. I was panicking, and they quickly put me at ease. The drivers of our buses were wonderful too.

We have used you annually for 10 years+
Buses were timely and drivers very good. The only difficulty I had this year so far is getting copies of my receipts. I waited a couple week and sent email request.
