Absolutely Amazing Service yet again!

From the first contact to the moment we stepped off the buses our service was amazing!

Not only were the quotes extremely competitive and you catered to my ever increasing numbers. The drivers on the day were extremely friendly, buses were clean, the rides were smooth. I felt the driver went above and beyond to cater to our guests.

I could not recommend your company highly enough and will continue to use you in future years!
Thank you!

Definitely recommend!

The bus driver was amazing, was happy to assist with any of our requests. The bus itself was clean and tidy, and the driver even brought along a trailer for us to put our luggage in. The process of booking the bus was really easy and Fraser was very helpful. Five stars from me!

Event transport

The whole process from ordering on line and multiple changes to my quote to pickup on the day was handed extremely well. The transport arrived early and ready for pick up at both locations, both drivers were very professional and this added to a very enjoyable night. I would definitely use the service again and highly recommend this to my friends and family.

Not to be relied on for important events

Do not trust this company for an important event. Its sales advisors are hopeless.

I had organised a bus for guests attending my wedding recently. Prior to the wedding, I'd informed both the sales advisor and the operations team at least half a dozen times collectively the route and stops I wanted the bus to take. Both the sales advisor and operations team assured me at least half a dozen times back that they'd let the bus driver know on the night.

And yet, on the night, the bus driver James was completely clueless about his route. I've been told by many guests travelling on the bus that he was adamant he was only going to do one stop. As the groom, I wasn't there to sort it out. Luckily one of my friends did and took the initiative to correct him. Apparently this made him upset, and he refused to do so initially.

It was a terrible look on my part, because it seemed like I wasn't organised at all and did not care about my guests. It also meant my dear friend had to carry the burden of the driver's discourtesy. I've been informed that James was in a bad mood for the entire drive because he had to do more stops that he had initially expected to, and treated my wedding guests poorly. This is absolutely unacceptable behaviour, on the part of the bus driver, on the part of the sales advisor and operations team in not adequately briefing him about his job requirement, and Travel Safe for completely neglecting to ensure a clear pathway of communication between all its staff members. This is not what I'd wanted for my wedding guests. It left a terrible taste in everyone's mouth after what was a smooth wedding.

Do not trust the company for important events, particularly if you're not going to be travelling with guests on the day.

Also avoid at all costs dealing with Senior Sales Advisor Paul Knox. He's totally hopeless and does not care for you. His emails take the form of half-strung, incomplete and grammar/syntax-deprived sentences, giving you no assurance he understands or cares for your enquiries or concerns. And indeed, he doesn't. After the wedding, I got a generic request for customer feedback from him. I took the opportunity to convey my frustration with the service on the night. I got no response from him whatsoever. This clearly suggests he has know intention of reflecting on, acknowledging or improving upon his poor customer service.

Suggest if you ever get Paul Knox, insisting on working through Peter McKay. He's infinitely more responsive.

Hi Aneesh,

Please accept our sincere apologies for your experience with Travelsafe as this is certainly not in keeping with our usual standards and those that we strive to achieve.

Unfortunately, we had to make a last-minute change in your driver and clearly there was a breakdown in communication with him as all along we had your chosen route with the stops in our notes and records.

However, that is no excuse for the driver's bad mood and treating your guests poorly and we will be taking the appropriate action against him. We will also be updating our procedures/processes to ensure this does not happen again.

In respect to your comments relating to Paul Knox, we will be carrying out an immediate internal investigation.

Once again, our apologies for your experience with us.

Thank you for your feedback, it is valued and we use it to constantly review and improve our service proposition.

Excellent Service with Travel Safe

We hired Travel Safe Bus Hire to transport guests home at the end of our wedding. Everything went smoothly, the booking was easy, price was competitive and there was plenty of support to answer the questions I had. The driver was friendly and arrived right on time.

The interlocutor Keith was very good dealing with my group of 57 people(less in the bus 3-4 people were sick on the day). The fees were the most affordable. The bus was in excellent condition and the bus driver,Bill was a very good driver. We love the service they offered and recommend everyone to use this company in the next future. Looking forward to coming back again. Kind Regards, David O.

No bus, No refund!

When no bus had arrived - I called the driver details provided by Travel Safe. I was then spoken to in a fairly disgusting manner by the arranged driver as he had no drives for that day. After speaking with Travel Safe it is hard to see who is at fault, the booking company or the coach company however our day was almost ruined. We were then 2hrs behind schedule and had to find another company ourselves on the spot. I was promised a full refund however i sent an email 4 days ago and havent heard anything since. I called yesterday and still nothing. I have another company I need to pay and they have little care for that. Will not be using this company again, nor will I be recommending to anyone.

Hi Tayla,

Firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and the delay in responding to you. In matters like this, we always investigate fully so we are able to make an accurate resolution. This assists us in improving our customer service levels going forward.

Looking into this matter, it appears there was a miscommunication on the day between ourselves and our approved supply partner, who subsequently carried out the journey directly with you. It's hard to apportion blame either way on this part, but we respect that your transportation was completed as required.

In this instance, we are happy to provide you with a full refund. The refund has already been passed on to our accounts department to process and you can expect this shortly.

We would like to add that bearing in mind that your booking was for the 7th which was a Saturday, the first business day at which we were able to fully investigate what had occurred was the 9th.

Refunds don't necessarily happen instantly; however, we perhaps should have better managed your expectations on when you might receive it.

Thank you for your valued feedback.

Travel Safe bus hire

hi guys, I was more than happy with our driver on the night and the service travel safe provided throughout.  I was particularly happy with the offer to licence the bus,  so the girls could have a little beverage en route . Our driver was on time,  polite,  friendly and many guests commented on those very things.  it was perfect,  went without a hitch,  I'd definitely recommend your service and use it myself if the need arises. 
thank you so much
