How much should we tip the driver?
A driver’s tip should be determined by his or her performance. A good rule of thumb is 10% to 15% for charter trips and 20% for car and van trips.

Do you offer tours?
Yes we offer transportation for virginia tours, virginia winery tours and more – please visit our Tours page (under Services) for additional information. We can arrange for tour guide services and customers are responsible for all other aspects of the tour.

We also have weekly scheduled Casino trips from Richmond and Fredericksburg to Maryland Live!, MGM National Harbor, Harrington Raceway and Charles Town Race & Slots. Please visit our Casino Tours page (under “Things to Do”) for more information.

Where can your vehicles travel?
Our coaches are licensed to travel anywhere in the United States and Canada. We are only limited by the availability of safe roads. We restrict our mini-coaches to trips of less than 100 miles each way. Our experience has shown that for trips longer than this, customers are much more comfortable in motor-coaches, sedans and vans (view our vehicles). Have a specific trip in mind? Request a Quote!
