Checklist
Planning Steps
- 1

- 3
Confirm whether gratuity, taxes, fuel, and fees are inside the total.
- 4
Note deposit amount, balance deadline, and cancellation language.

Check vehicle category language — category is not a guaranteed photo match.
- 6
Sign via DocuSign only when the terms match what you expect.
Hourly rate versus all-in total
A lower hourly number can cost more once travel time, gratuity, cleaning, or overtime sit outside the rate. Ask for the estimated total for your itinerary and what could change it.
Estimates and recommendations on this page are preliminary. A reservation with Bus 2 Ride is not confirmed until live review and DocuSign are complete. Every Bus 2 Ride written quote includes driver gratuity or tip, taxes, fuel, and ordinary quoted transportation fees.

Deposits and confirmation
Deposits commonly land near half with a balance window before service, but exact terms vary and the agreement controls. Starting a reservation online is a request — DocuSign plus required payment steps complete confirmation.
