On time and courteous
Not only were they able to fill our reservation during a time of driver shortages, they were able to modify our reservation with no hassle at all. The bus was right on time and they were even kind enough to pull up close in the rain! Would definitely use again.

One of the busses broke down before they arrived to pick us up. We paid for 5 busses and only got 4. On the way back, the fifth bus was only a small one which is not what we ordered. The bussing staff was amazing though! Amber really made my day and was so kind.

Fantastic Job for our Formal!
First Charter did a great job with transporting our sorority to our annual formal! They were a little late due to traffic, but both buses arrived within 10 minutes of the pick up time and apologized. They were very courteous and answered all my questions thoroughly when booking.

A Fantastic Excursion
We had never rented a vehicle before, but for our excursion there were 14 of us. A friend of mine recommended First Charter school bus rentals. I had never dreamed of taking a group on a school bus. However, it turned out to be the best event we’ve ever planned! The bus was on time. It was very clean! Our driver, Janice, was fantastic!!!
She made the whole trip fun! We didn’t feel like we had a driver for our bus. We felt more so like we had a good friend driving our bus being the designated driver so that we could party!
In the future when we plan a large group event, we’ve all agreed to utilize the services of First Charter and, hopefully, have Janice as our driver!

Great service, not stellar communication
The service provided was exactly as expected, our driver was flexible and accommodating.
My one complaint is that I was given the driver's wrong phone number, so I had zero contact with them until I was on the bus that they would show up, could add a couple extra stops, etc.
Would recommend the service though, super affordable compared to other local options.

Excellent Service and Care
Thank you so very much for the excellent service and care of our senior students and chaperones! Your promptness was of the utmost importance, as our seniors were transported to a local retreat center that provided time for reflection on their years at The Summit Country Day School! Five stars for your personnel and bus drivers.
