Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation. This deposit is typically due at the time of booking and is applied toward the total cost of your rental. The remaining balance must be paid in full before your trip date. Our team will provide specific payment terms and deadlines when you request a quote.

Final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. The exact deadline will be specified in your contract, but it is typically required 7–30 days prior to departure. We accept various forms of payment, including major credit cards, ACH transfers, and checks. Please contact our billing department if you have any questions about payment schedules or methods.

The hotel should be a national brand with interior corridors and located near the group’s lodging or event venue.

For longer trips, you may need to provide multiple drivers to comply with federal hours-of-service regulations.

No, your charter bus quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip.

Kentwood has several options for charter bus parking, including large shopping centers, hotel lots, and designated areas near major venues. Popular locations include Woodland Mall, the Steelcase campus, and local high schools with athletic facilities. Always confirm parking arrangements with your destination ahead of time, as some lots require permits or advance notice. For trips into downtown Grand Rapids, use city-approved curbside zones or pre-arranged off-street lots.
