1. Collect all the necessary information.

Make sure you collect all the information about your upcoming trip, such as dates, time, location, bus type preference, budget, special requirements, etc. Prepare your trip plan and give it all the group members you are traveling with, this way no one will get lost or face any other misunderstandings.

2. What bus are you renting?

Make sure the appropriate bus has been selected and will be the one used for the trip. The bus’s type and size depend on your group’s needs. If you are planning a long-distance trip, we suggest you rent a Charter Bus, this will provide you with all the amenities and your group will be comfortable during the trip. On the other hand, if you travel with a smaller group, you can get a minibus and save some cash on a rental cost.

3. Pack what you need!

Luggage should also be taken into account when booking the size of the bus. Large charter buses offer extra luggage space and should be considered from large parties traveling from airports or who will be on long trips.

4. The Amenities.

Additional amenities such as a bathroom, WI-FI, televisions, DVD players, recliners should all be taken into account when planning a bus trip. Most of our buses are equipped with all the basic amenities, such as AC, WiFi, reclining seats, storage space, reading lights, but if something is really important to you (for example WC) - let us know and we will make sure you will have it onboard. Don’t forget that most school buses don’t have all the amenities listed above since they are not suitable for long-distance trips and are cheaper in comparison to other types of buses.

5. Pack light and smart.

Depending on the amount of luggage you can bring, it is important to pack everything you need in a small amount of space for your trip. Always have a smaller bag with you, which you can take on board, place it in an overhead compartment and have all the necessary items for you nearby.

6. Food or Drinks?

It is important to bring food, snacks, and drinks for a long journey, most of the bus companies allow eating on board, so you have nothing to worry about. There will most likely be breaks at rest areas where you can have a proper meal.

7. Get Comfortable!

Feel free to bring a blanket or even a pillow/neck pillow for those long drives. Wear your most comfortable clothes and shoes, wear layers so you can take something off if it’s too hot and bring a sweatshirt or blanket just in case it’s freezing cold.

8. Don’t forget the charger/portable battery.

If your smartphone is not the best with battery, make sure you pack portable chargers and your charging cord! Same with your laptop.

9. Verify Everything!

After the itinerary and bus have been verified and booked, the follow up with the company and driver is needed to ensure the perfect trip. Don’t forget to print out the information we send you with all the contact details, such as the driver’s phone number, company’s customer support, etc.

10. Headphones!

If you like to listen to music, watch TV, or listen to podcasts, this is a must. Make sure your headphones or earbuds are comfortable enough for long durations as well.

11. Non-electronic entertainment.

In the situation that your entertainment loses battery life, or your bus doesn’t have power outlets bring something that doesn’t require charging. Books, journal magazine, newspaper, crosswords, playing cards.
