Why You Want to Travel to Austin by Charter Bus

When you're taking a group to the capital of Texas, one of your top priorities needs to be how you'll get there and back and how you'll get around while you're there. When you carefully consider your options, you'll quickly discover that there's no mode of transportation that offers all the features and benefits of a charter bus rental from US Coachways.

• Flexibility — There's no other form of travel that allows you to decide where you want to go, when you want to be there and how long you want to stay. With charter bus travel, you won't have to choose from a handful of prepackaged itineraries. Your trip will truly be one of a kind. In addition, last minute and real-time changes can often be accommodated.
• Safety and security — On a charter bus, you'll have a seasoned and skilled professional at the wheel at all times. That's one of the reasons that charter buses are consistently considered one of the safest ways to travel. In addition, there's limited access to your bus, so you won't have to worry about unwanted guests. You and your personal items will be safe and secure.
• Reliability — On any given day, nearly a million air travelers will arrive late at their destination. That doesn't happen with a charter bus. Because of our access to a vast fleet of coaches, we can usually secure a replacement vehicle in a short period of time, should you experience mechanical problems. In addition, your driver will customarily have the resources to find alternative routes to get you to your destination on time.
• Charter is the most stress - free way to travel—Why is that, when you return from a trip, you feel like you need another vacation? Probably because you had to spend a lot of your time navigating traffic, checking the map or watching the clock. With charter bus travel, you can relax with friends and family while someone else handles all those details. You won't have to worry about missed connections or lost personal items—you'll be on the same coach at all times and your luggage will travel with you. You won't wait in security lines and you won't have to take off your shoes or empty your pockets. There's no need to turn your phone off, either. You can stay connected at all times.
• It's the most comfortable way to travel — There's more leg room on a charter bus than on any other mode of travel. There's no middle seat, either. You'll have plenty of room to relax. The aisles as wide, too, and you can get up and move about at any time.
• Charter buses can typically take advantage of HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes — That can be a real timesaver in a city like Austin.
• Charter buses are one of the most affordable options for group travel — When you travel together on a charter bus, you'll share many of the costs of transportation. With the money you don't have to spend on travel, you can have more fun in Austin.
