Great Experience

We needed First Student when we were in a pinch for a field trip. The bus was on time for pickup and drop off. Bus driver was polite and helpful. They were a bit pricier than our other company but overall they were great.

I booked the day prior to our wedding and they were able to find a bus within 2 hours, which was great! Everything went as planned. They picked up our guests from the hotel at the time requested. Everything worked out perfectly. Will definitely book again when needed.

No record of reservation - Negative exerience

Unfortunately, we had a very negative experience with first student charter. The local chapter did not have record of our reservation in their system and buses were two hours late picking up our ticket holders for our event. It was incredibly stressful for our production team and required us to reimburse ticket holders for getting transportation elsewhere. Although they called me on Monday morning to discuss, it was incredibly stressful and disappointing.

Franklin Institute

Our driver did an excellent job of navigating crazy city traffic in the morning, which allowed us to reach our destination on time. He was super considerate as he wanted to make sure he dropped our group in an ideal spot.

We had an amazing experience

We had an amazing experience. The bus driver we had was such a kind, charismatic, and welcoming woman! She got us at our location early and was there to pick us up earlier than the scheduled time (she deserves a raise!!) Thank you for all the help!
