F.A.Q.

How long have you been in business?
Since 1982! Hundreds of thousands of happy riders have traveled with Preferred Charters. We invite you to join our evergrowing list of delighted passengers!
How many passengers can your charter buses carry?
Our luxury buses/coaches can be chartered for just a few people or for as much as 56 passengers. The standard coaches that we use for tour groups have 52-56 seats.
Is it legal to drink alcohol on a charter bus?

Currently, there is no federal law restricting passengers drinking alcohol or having open alcoholic containers in limousines, minibusses, charter buses, or other vehicles that transport passengers for compensation. 

Should I tip the driver?
Although tipping a driver is never mandatory it is considered good etiquette to do so when you feel that they have performed their duty well. Your driver will appreciate it!
Will there be enough storage for my belongings?
Yes! Our coaches come with vast luggage compartments and are able to store travel items of all shapes and sizes. To store larger or bulky items such as bikes, skis etc., please check with your group leader to ensure there is enough space while keeping other travelers’ luggage in mind.
Do the drivers make stops?
Our drivers will make stops based on your submitted itinerary. Our drivers are flexible and will work to accommodate last minute changes or requests.
Can I bring my pet onboard?
Preferred Charters policies prohibit animals on board our buses; however, the exception is any ADA assistance animal. (see below ADA rule) A “service animal” is any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to, guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals with impaired hearing to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items. 28 C.F.R. § 36.104. The ADA does not limit the kind of animal that can provide service or the types of tasks or work a service animal can perform. All service animals are the sole responsibility of the owner and must be in control with a leash, carrier, or other restraints that are appropriate. Any damage to the bus or clean up required is the sole responsibility of the owner of that service animal. Service animals can NOT travel in the aisle or occupy a seat that may otherwise be available to other passengers. Service animals will NOT be transported in the luggage compartments under the bus. Preferred Charters will NOT transport any animal that is considered a threat to the health and/or safety of other passengers or Preferred Charters personnel.
