We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel season such as spring, summer, or around major holidays and events like high school graduations, university move-ins, or large conventions. Early booking gives you better availability and often secures more favorable rates. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we also handle last-minute reservations whenever possible. Just keep in mind that the closer you get to your desired departure date, the harder it may be to find exactly the bus you want—so call us as soon as you have your schedule set!

The hotel should be a national chain rated three stars or higher, and ideally located within close proximity to your group’s lodging or event venue.

If you need assistance arranging accommodations, our team can recommend suitable hotels and may be able to secure discounted rates through our network of partners.

No, your quote covers the base cost of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, and standard insurance, but it does not include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or permits required by certain venues or municipalities. These charges are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid either in advance or directly during the trip. We recommend budgeting extra funds to cover these incidental costs, and our team can provide estimates based on your itinerary and planned routes.

Charter buses can park in designated areas at major venues like the Dayton Convention Center, UD Arena, and the Dayton International Airport. Downtown curbside zones are available on streets such as East Fifth Street and South Main Street, while large lots at the Nutter Center, Fraze Pavilion, and Day Air Ballpark offer bus-accessible spaces.

It’s the best way to keep your group together, on time, and moving directly between any locations you choose.
