• The use of a Houston bus rental
• A professional, licensed charter bus driver
• Processing fees
• Full coverage insurance

Your quote does NOT include:

• Parking and tolls
• Extra miles traveled/additional stops that were not included in your original quote

How much should I tip my charter bus driver?

Tipping is not required but is a great way to thank your driver for a job well done. If you would like to leave a tip, industry standard is a cash tip of anywhere between 5-10% of your total trip cost.

Can I drive my Houston bus rental?

No. For everyone’s safety and convenience, passengers, even if they have a CDL, are not permitted to drive the vehicles in our network. A trained charter bus driver who has a CDL with the coveted Passenger Endorsement, a clean background check, and a spotless motor vehicle history record will take care of all the navigation, driving, and parking for you.

Is a deposit required?

Yes. A non-refundable, 10% deposit is required to secure your Houston charter bus rental, which will be applied towards your final balance. The remaining balance will be due 14 days prior to your trip date.

What is your cancellation policy?

We can refund the cost of your trip (excluding the non-refundable deposit) If you cancel at least 72 hours before your trip date. If you cancel with less than 72 hours’ notice, we will be unable to refund any part of your trip.

I’m traveling solo. Can I purchase a single ticket?

No, we do not offer single ticket sales. Our services cater to groups seeking a fully private Houston charter bus or minibus rental; therefore, we do not offer single charter bus tickets.

Can I wrap the bus?

Absolutely! Just let us know if this is something you’re interested in when you call, and we can connect you with an appropriate transportation partner. There will be an additional fee for this service, which will vary depending on your transportation partner.

Can I drink alcohol on a charter bus?

Most of our charter bus providers are happy to allow drinking on board for passengers aged 21+. Make sure to respect the vehicle and keep it clean, as you may be subjected to a cleaning fee if there’s a mess left behind (consider bringing along a couple of large trash bags and paper towels to be prepared for any potential spills).

Do you have ADA-accessible bus options?

Of course! We want every passenger to feel safe and included while traveling and can connect you with an ADA-compliant bus rental in Houston at no extra cost. Let our team know if this is something you’re interested in when you call, and we can walk you through our options for an ADA-accessible charter bus in Houston.
