What is a bush charter?

Bus charter means that a company hires a bus with a driver for a specific time or journey. Unlike scheduled bus services, there are no fixed routes or times. The company can decide for itself when and where it wants to go. Coach charter is particularly practical for company events, trade fairs, excursions or when employees need to be taken to a location on a regular basis.

Procedure: How does a bush charter work?

A bush charter involves several steps. First, the company makes a request with all the important information such as date, destination, number of passengers and desired equipment. The provider then prepares a quote and calculates the price. If the offer is suitable, the company confirms the booking and the coach is firmly reserved. On the day of the trip, the coach and driver are ready on time and drive the planned route. At the end of the trip, some providers ask for feedback to evaluate the service. 

Advantage: In contrast to public transportation, the company itself decides where to go, which stops to make and how long the journey takes.
