Even if your trip is just days away, give us a call—we’ll do everything possible to find you a great bus at a fair price.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel must be reserved in advance and should be a minimum of a 2-star property. Please note that the driver’s room is not included in your charter quote and must be arranged separately. If you need assistance finding a hotel, our team can recommend options that are convenient and affordable. For longer trips, you may also be required to provide meals or a per diem for the driver.

No, your charter bus quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or venue access charges. These additional expenses are the responsibility of the customer 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, event venues, or other destinations must be arranged and paid directly by the customer. If you have specific questions about potential extra costs, please ask your reservation specialist when booking.

Kalamazoo’s public transit system, Metro Transit, operates fixed-route buses across the city and surrounding areas, including routes to Western Michigan University and major shopping centers. While Metro Transit is affordable and useful for individual riders, it lacks the flexibility and convenience needed for large groups traveling together. Schedules may not align with your event times, transfers can be inconvenient, and there’s limited space for luggage or equipment. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service on your exact schedule, keeps everyone together, and provides comfortable seating with amenities like WiFi and A/C—making it the best choice for group travel in Kalamazoo.
