Things You Should Know About Your Driver

Charter bus drivers require breaks.

Texas Charter Bus Company provides flexible short- and long-distance transportation. If you’re making a big trek from El Paso to Houston, your driver will be legally required to take a break. By law, drivers are only allowed to operate a vehicle for 10 consecutive hours before needing to take an 8-hour break. So you’ll need to factor necessary breaks into your travel itinerary.

Your driver will need lodging.

If you’ll be on the road for a long-distance trip you’ll need to book lodging for your charter bus driver. You’ll want your driver to be well-rested and refreshed to continue giving your group the best quality of transportation service. Many hotels offer discounts when booking multiple rooms or room blocks. So be sure oy book an additional room for your driver when you reserve lodging for your group. When you book your rooms, also inquire about overnight oversized parking for your charter bus rental.

Communicate thoroughly with your driver.

Your charter bus driver is committed to traveling according to your schedule and itinerary. However, it’s understandable that things change and maybe you’ll want to spend extra time exploring tourist destinations in Dallas or Austin. Just be sure to communicate with your driver and let them know of any changes to your travel plan during your trip.

Tips are always appreciated.

Charter bus rental pricing includes the cost of your rental and base pay for your driver. Though, if you’re exceptionally happy with your driver’s service, tipping them is a wonderful way to let them know. Tips aren’t required but a tip of 5-10% of the total cost of your trip will be appreciated. Usually, cash at the end of your trip is the best way to tip your driver.
