It’s best to book your charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy season like spring or fall. Large events such as graduations, weddings, and sports tournaments can quickly deplete available inventory. For trips scheduled during the summer or around major holidays, booking even earlier is recommended. However, we understand that plans can change, and we are often able to accommodate last-minute requests thanks to our extensive fleet.

If you need to set up a payment plan or have specific invoicing requirements, please discuss this with our sales team when booking.
