Quality vehicles, excellent customer service

This was our first corporate retreat for 400 guests, 4 hours away, and in another state. It was a gamble on our end, but in the end, no other vendor communicated with as much clarity and confidence. I could not have been more pleased with the level of customer service I received from Philip May and the flexibility of our five drivers. Thank you!!!!

Easy and convenient for corporate outings!

This is my second time working with Bus Bank this year, and both experiences were great. I worked with Philip May to book both times, and he was friendly and quick to get me the information I needed. He was also very patient as I had to make changes to my reservations a couple of times. The bus driver was also always on time and did not have any issues getting to and from where we needed to go. I would definitely recommend Bus Bank for any corporate outings!
