Group Travel Safety and Planning

Today we feel like stating the obvious: we are your partner in producing safe and reliable group travel experiences. We know that you have a lot of options when it comes to pulling your group’s trip together, so we honor that by presenting safe options and quality information for making informed decisions. Our directories are the gateway to setting a safe course.

Picking the charter bus:

Whether this is your first charter or you’ve lost count, picking the right rental bus for your needs is vital for travelers comfort, as well as safety. We have an easy-to-follow guide to help you determine which charter works for you.

We also provide a summary of bus charter safety regulations so you can be informed.

Did you know: all bus operators are required to carry a current DOT Physical Exam Card, be drug tested under DOT rules and regulations, and maintain a log for miles and hours of service?

Choosing the hotel:

When selecting a hotel, remember that all of the properties in the BusRates.com hotel directory are members of the National Tour Association, whose members specialize in the North American tourism business and are committed to quality travel experiences.

They are intimately familiar with providing hospitality services to groups of all sizes, so you know they can manage your groups’ needs. Additionally, mapping features will enable you to view the facility’s location, so you can familiarize yourself with the area. Situational awareness is a strong added value in safety planning.

There are numerous other safety factors to take into consideration when planning for group travel (ground rules, packing a first aid kit, insurance, etc). However, this is how we can help you hit the road safely with peace of mind.
