Great experience!

Great experience! Working with First Charter Bus Rental was quick and efficient. Everyone we talked to was extremely helpful and the communication was very timely. We requested a bus only a few days ahead of time and they were able to accommodate our needs. Our driver was also friendly and punctual. We will definitely use the company again!

Our bus trip was exactly what we needed…

Our bus trip was exactly what we needed for our work celebration dinner. Pickup and drop off were on time and Mark the driver even checked in earlier in the day to confirm. There was a little bit of snow but the roads werent bad, which really eased the minds of my employees not needing to drive. Thank you again.

Pitt Band Camp 2021

Emily Knox handled all on my changes for the Pitt Band camp charters. She even caught a typos that were on the the request. She has great attention to detail.
Jeff Gernert reacted to several same day requests, communicating these changes to the drivers in real time. He is a true professional.

Thank you Both!

Bus never showed up

We booked a bus to shuttle guests from our hotel to the wedding venue. The bus literally never showed up. After ~10 minutes of waiting for the bus we called and were told if would take at least half an hour just to get a bus to pick up our guests at the hotel. Guests has to scramble at the last minute to find ubers or drive to the wedding on an extremely busy Saturday in the Pittsburgh North Shore. We had to delay our wedding and some guests still missed the entire ceremony.

Miss Renee is awesome but the drivers…

Miss Renee is awesome but the drivers were very late due to an accident they got caught behind —-these things happen, but it would have been nice to have had them call me BEFORE I had to call them and find out why they weren’t there. Thank you!

The bus driver stated they "failed to read the instructions properly" for location of pick up and drop off, arrived at the wrong location at the wrong time, did not make any attempts to communicate the bus's whereabouts after being on site for extended period of time.

Bus driver was super friendly, had a smile on their face, and very apologetic. Bus driver was willing to fix the mistake and make the pick up

A few delays

We got to where we needed to go, but the driver lengthened the trip by not having the bus ready to exit after 2 out of 3 of our stops. The driver didn't get the bus turned around while we were stopped. We also encountered a road closure that should have been avoided by using a better navigation app. The driver was very polite but we should have returned to the church by 4 pm because we had the right amount of time to return barring the delays mentioned above.
