Once you have submitted your information, a charter bus rental specialist from the bus charter company will contact you within 24 hours. If you need immediate assistance or if your travel needs are within the next 24-48 hours, you should call the company directly to receive pricing and availability over the phone. The representative from the company may call or email you to request more detailed information from you concerning your request such as departure times, how many passengers, will there be an overnight stay, will you need use of the charter bus once you are at your destination and more.

The contract will typically list the pickup and return dates, origin, destination and type of charter bus reserved and deposit amount. The deposit for a charter bus rental ranges from 20% to 50% of the balance, dependent upon the charter bus service used. If your charter bus rental needs are within 30 days, most companies require payment in full in order to secure the reservation. Charter bus deposits are typically non-refundable, especially within 30 days of service. After you have reviewed the contract you must now sign and return with deposit or full payment to reserve. If you are using a credit card, the charter bus rental service will send you a credit card authorization form to fill out and return with signed contract. If you are paying with a check, money order or cashier's check, you would then send in the payment with the signed contract in the mail.
