We calculate your charter bus price based on the size of the vehicle (seating capacity), the length of your trip (hours, days, or total mileage), your pickup and drop-off locations, and any special requests like custom amenities or wrap branding. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging are not included in the base rate and will be billed separately.

Yes, a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically due at the time of booking and will be applied toward your total trip cost. Your reservation is not confirmed until the deposit has been received and processed.

The exact due date will be specified in your contract, but it is generally required several days to weeks prior to departure. If you book close to your travel date, full payment may be required immediately upon signing the contract.

The hotel should be a comfortable, mid-range property (such as Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, or similar) and must include amenities like free parking for the bus, Wi-Fi, and access to restroom facilities. The driver’s room should be reserved under their name and located within a reasonable distance of the group’s lodging or event venue. If your trip does not require an overnight stay, no lodging is necessary for the driver, but please ensure they have access to restroom and break facilities during the day.

These additional costs are the responsibility of the customer and will either be billed separately after the trip or collected in advance as an estimated expense deposit.

Lakewood is served by the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA), which operates local bus routes, the Red Line rapid transit, and Park-N-Ride services into downtown Cleveland.
