Can we eat and drink on a bus rental in San Jose?

In general, yes. Just keep everything clean, bag your trash, and refrain from using glass containers. Alcohol consumption is okay provided you follow relevant local laws and are of legal drinking age. Inform your reservation specialist in advance if you plan to serve alcohol during your ride to ensure there are no restrictions.

What if we want to make a slight change in our itinerary?

After securing your reservation, it’s easy to make changes to your itinerary or passenger count by calling our 24/7 support team. We will do whatever we can to honor last-minute requests, too. Just keep in mind that some changes, such as adding more stops, or extending hours or mileage on the road, will impact your costs. Our goal is to ensure you have a remarkable charter bus experience. For changes such as a reduction or increase in passenger count, let us know as soon as you can prior to your trip start date so we can switch to an appropriately sized vehicle if necessary.

Should I tip my driver?

Tipping your professional, certified driver is a great way to express appreciation for their dedication to your safety and a job well done. We recommend tipping your driver between 5% and 10% of your total rental cost in cash.

Will my driver help load and unload our group’s luggage? 

Your driver will assist in assuring your luggage is carefully handled and securely stowed. However, if you will need extensive loading and unloading done completely by your driver or an assistant, you will need to arrange this in advance when you book your San Jose charter bus rental.

Do you have buses to accommodate passengers with mobility concerns?

Yes! Our ADA-compliant charter buses and minibuses can be equipped with hydraulic wheelchair lifts, extended aisle spaces, restrooms with handrails, and other features to ensure comfort and accessibility for all passengers—at no additional charge. We strongly suggest you give us at least 48-hours’ notice to make sure one of these vehicles is available for you.
