We recommend booking your charter bus 6–9 months in advance—especially if you’re traveling during peak seasons like spring break, summer, or the holidays. This gives you the best selection of vehicles and ensures availability. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited by fleet availability and higher rates. Large events such as weddings, corporate conferences, or multi-bus trips should secure transportation as early as possible.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should be a national chain rated two stars or higher and located near your group’s lodging or event venue. If you prefer, we can add the cost of the driver’s room to your invoice and arrange the reservation for you. Providing proper accommodations ensures your driver is well-rested and compliant with federal hours-of-service regulations.

No, your quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip. These charges are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid directly or reimbursed to the driver. Be sure to budget for additional costs such as venue parking, hotel lot fees, bridge or highway tolls, and airport access charges. Gratuity for the driver is also not included unless specified and can be added to the final payment or given in cash.

For events at Van Andel Arena, DeVos Place, or DeVos Performance Hall, use designated bus zones on adjacent streets.
