🍻 The BYO Rules (Read This):

Private charters where you organise your own venues: Yes, BYO in moderation is totally fine. Have a few drinks, enjoy the ride.

Organised tours where we book the venues: Sorry, no BYO. Wineries and breweries hold us responsible for how guests arrive, and we want to keep those relationships solid.

The deal: Stay seated while the bus is moving, keep it respectful, and don't be that person who ruins it for everyone. Our drivers can end trips if things get out of hand. We've had to replace broken windows before ($4,500 a pop) — let's not do that again. 😅

✅ How far in advance should I book?

• For standard bookings, 2-4 weeks ahead is usually fine. For peak season (November-December), weddings, or major events — book 2-3 months ahead to lock in your preferred coach and date. We can sometimes do last-minute bookings if we have availability.

Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains, Canberra, South Coast, Byron Bay, the snow, even Melbourne or Brisbane — we've done them all. For overnight trips, driver accommodation and meals are factored into your quote. Just tell us where you want to go.

✅ Are your buses suitable for school excursions?

• Yes — school transport is a big part of what we do. All vehicles are seatbelt-equipped, all drivers hold Working with Children Checks, and we're NSW Government accredited. We handle excursions, carnivals, camp transfers, school formals, Canberra trips, and inter-school sport. We're happy to work with school coordinators on logistics and timing.

• Yes. Luggage trailers are available for our 14-17 seater Sprinters and 27-seater coach. Perfect for airport transfers with lots of bags, school camps with camping equipment, festival trips, or any job where you need extra storage. Our larger 41+ seater coaches have large undercarriage luggage bays built in.

✅ What's your cancellation policy?

• We don't offer refunds for cancellations — so please be certain before booking. If something comes up (COVID, illness), we can provide credit for a future booking. Date changes are possible with notice, though you'll pay any difference if moving to a higher-rate day (e.g. Wednesday to Saturday). We get it — plans change — but we need to be fair to our drivers and business.

✅ How much deposit do I need to pay?

• Standard deposit is $200 to lock in your booking. For Christmas parties, weddings, and New Year's Eve bookings, it's $500. Balance is due 7 days before your trip. We accept bank transfer (no fees) or credit card (+1.6% surcharge). No payment plans — just deposit to book, then balance before the day.

• Absolutely. Early morning airport runs, late night event pickups, whatever you need. Pickups before 6am have a small surcharge (+$100), and pickups after 10pm have a late night surcharge (+$150). These cover our drivers' unsociable hours — fair's fair.

✅ What if our trip runs overtime?

• No stress — we'll look after you. Overtime is charged per hour: $150/hr for 14-seater, $200/hr for 27-seater, $250/hr for 41-seater, $350/hr for 57-seater. We'll always try to be flexible, but if your event runs late, just let the driver know and we'll sort it out.
