We are a charter and tour bus company. We do not run line runs between cities.
We require a deposit of 10% of the charter amount or $100.00 (whichever is greater) to book your charter. Full payment on the balance is due 21 days prior to departure. If you book within 21 days of departure, the full balance is due at the time of booking.
If the charter is canceled within 14 days of departure a fee will be assessed in the amount of the deposit. If the charter is canceled within 48 hours of departure, a fee will be assessed in the amount of 50% the charter. If the charter is canceled after the driver shows up to perform the charter a fee will be assessed in the amount equal to our minimum 6 hour charge for the size motor coach reserved.
Alcohol is allowed for private charters when the contract includes an alcohol deposit, the deposit has been paid, and the chartering party has agreed to the terms of conduct on the motor coach. We may restrict consumption of alcohol on some Dean Trailways tours due to the family nature of the tour. Please check with our office before bringing alcohol on board a tour.
Yes, car seats are allowed in the motor coach seats, however, there are no tie downs or seat belts to strap the car seat to the seat. Caution should be used on any forward facing car seats on the motor coach.
Of course! Food and non alcoholic beverages for your own personal use may be brought on board. Please help us keep the motor coaches clean by picking up your litter.
For our casino line runs, reservations are suggested as we hold seats for reservations and prepaid riders. For all other trips reservations and prepaying is required.
No, federal law prohibits smoking on motor coaches.
