Our bus driver Ms. Taylor was extremely kind and skilled at navigating the narrow roads of downtown Charleston. She was prompt and our trip was excellent.

HORRIFIC, UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE
Booked them for wedding guest transportation. A brides absolute worst nightmare. Booking process went smoothly. Our planner talked with them a couple weeks before and everything went great and was planned to a t. We had booked them for guest transport to and from our wedding venue ~40 minutes from downtown Charleston. This was something we invested thousands of dollars on and was extremely important to us as we didn’t want anyone drinking and driving down dark country roads and didn’t want anyone to have to pay for expensive Ubers. Well THEY JUST NEVER SHOWED UP. NEVER CONTACTED ANYONE AND WERE UNREACHABLE ONCE WE DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. Our guests were left stranded with no idea what to do. They all ended up having to pay large sums to uber to our venue. I have never been so appalled by a company. Disgusted that they can get away with this. I AM BEGGING YOU TO BOYCOTT THIS COMPANY. Once we finally got a hold of them days later they refunded us but refused to pay for the alternate transportation we (thank god) were able to secure last minute to transport everyone back downtown.

First Student was excellent
Once again, First Student performed very well. I run an athletic event and the make-it or break-it moment occurs when the chartered bus arrives at the first pickup spot. My driver, Iris, was spot on for time, she was very pleasant and gracious and she executed the timetable, pick ups and drop offs beautifully all day. I know that I always check in, nervous prior to event day, but this was a great experience.
