After all, you won't to be sure that you've chosen a reliable and professional bus company that respects its promises and offer you the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable trip. Moreover, you wouldn't want to pay more than you've agreed with the San Antonio bus company you're working just before you didn't ask the right questions or read all the contractual clauses. Here are 2 questions you should ask a bus company if you want to rent a reliable charter bus and enjoy a relaxing trip:
1. What is your safety rating?
It's very important to know a few things about the company's safety ratings, if it was involved in certain accidents, who caused the accidents, when did its buses have their last technical revision and so on. That's why you need to ask them details about their safety rules and regulations, as well as the safety standards they respect. Just to be sure, also check their safety rating on the Federal Motor Coach Safety Administration website. You can use their name or their DOT number and you will find out this institution's assessment regarding the San Antonio bus company you're doing research on. The best safety rating a US charter bus company can receive from the Federal Motor Coach Safety Administration is "satisfactory".
2. What are your rates?
A charter bus company charges customers either by the hour or by the km. You need to discuss this detail with the bus company you want to hire previous to making a decision. Also, you should provide them with details about your route, the number of hours you need the bus for and the facilities you would like for the bus to be equipped with. These details will help them provide a quota for your rental. Make sure you also discuss aspects such as highway tolls, parking fees, the expenses incurred by the driver with meals and accommodation, city taxes etc. These costs may or may not be included in your quota. If you want to avoid surprises, it's best to talk with the bus company about each financial aspect of your bus rental and to carefully read your contract (including, or especially, the clauses that discuss fees and rates).
