  I ordered a bus to take 12 people to a concert in *********, **. The company contacted me 24 hours prior to the trip and raised the price $450. The bus was 1.5 hrs LATE and completely sub par.

  We made a reservation for an elementary school trip in May 2023, months in advance. The night before the event (less than 12 hours before scheduled pickup) we received AN EMAIL that one of the three buses we reserved was having mechanical issues and was unavailable. They claimed that they searched a 300 mile radius and were unable to find a replacement and suggested that the event be rescheduled. Rescheduling was not an option for this school field trip. We were forced to scramble to find a replacement for the students and chaperones that we needed to transport early the next morning. We were told that the accounting department had been notified and that wed receive a refund for the reservation. After numerous emails and attempted phone calls (bc its nearly impossible to get anyone on the phone) we have still not received our refund.

  Hello,

  Please accept our sincerest apologies that your reservation was cancelled with little notice. There are times where mechanical issues do prevent service. In some instances we are able to secure a replacement vehicle but this is not always the case. The safety of our clients is of top concern. Our accounting team is processing a full refund of the amount paid for this charter. Depending upon your bank, this could take a few days to credit. Please feel free to reach back out to us if you do not see this by mid-week next week. Unfortunately, we are unable to credit anything above the contract amount.

  Thank you.

  Our organization contracted with US Coachways for a day trip to *************, ** on 06/10/23, from *********, **. We were scheduled to depart 06/10/23, at 6:00a.m. (EST) from ** to *************, ** and returning to the same location. Payment of $7,555.00 was made as follows: Deposit $573.98 (credit card) and $6,981.08 (Cashier's Check) weeks prior to the trip. On 06/09/23, at 10:30p.m. (EST) we got a call that the vendor we used is not able to perform their service and your trip has been canceled and unfortunately there was no one else in our network to secure transportation and were sorry for the inconvenience. The detail listed in her follow-up email was never relayed to us on that call nor would that reason provide fulfillment of our contract.We were put in an extreme bind less than 8 hours before we were to depart and we provided documentation from the paid arrangements we made for trip: 110 Broadway tickets ($6,515.00) and a dinner catering invoice for 110 guests ($6,749.18) = $13,264.18. The representative said they would not be responsible if we could not arrive to ******** to take part in our planned activities.Frantically searching to try to secure transportation at 11:30p.m. (EST), we found another company to provide buses and solidified the agreement at 1:30a.m. (EST), roughly 4 hours before our trip was scheduled to depart. To salvage our trip, our hands were tied to prevent the loss of our tickets and meals. The invoice for the new company amounted to $9,517.20 which we attached to our letter and was paid that night/early morning.We requested payment of $9,517.20 broken down as follows: $7,555.00 as our US Coachways contract refund and $1,962.20 as the additional cost we incurred to secure last minute transportation from another company. US Coachways merely offered us a "credit" for a future trip. We do not accept this "credit" offer and demand the overage we had to pay ($1,962.20) as US Coachways canceled late at night and less than 8 hours before our trip. They refunded the credit card deposit but has piece mealed our remaining $6,981.08 from the contract price in four post dated checks (which we are still awaiting the four payments). Their actions and lack of accountability are unacceptable from a company that touts being in business 30 years. We are seeking the additional $1,962.20 and feel that our request is not unreasonable as we attempted to minimize our potential losses of over $13K.

  Though we do greatly apologize for the issues outside of our control and any stress this may have caused. US Coachways is not liable for any additional costs of securing alternate transportation. This is outlined in the contract that was signed by the client under General Policies and as such, this case should be closed.

   

  c) If US Coachways is unable to perform the obligations required under this contract, and is unable to provide
  replacement transportation (which US Coachways shall select at its sole discretion), US Coachways' liability
  shall not include any responsibility for incidental, consequential or special damages, whether foreseeable or
  not. This shall include the costs of securing substitute and/or additional transportation; spoiled food and/or
  beverages; concert, theater, sports and/or other event tickets; admissions cost, reservations, plane or train
  tickets; and/or any and all other losses related to late pickup or no-show of requested transportation.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  This business reputation of canceling charters and forcing its customers to incur additional charges based on their failure to provide service that they agreed to accept is poor business practices.  We are still seeking other options for their last minute cancellation and the additional costs we had to occur.

  We had booked this company for four trips with our school. Our senior trip for our graduates was scheduled to depart on 6/7/23 but then we received an email from the company saying our bus was cancelled on 6/6/23. Less than 24hrs. We was told we would have an immediate refund. To date, we have not received our refund Our next trip to ************ was scheduled to depart on 6/14/23. However we received and email and phone call around 9pm on 6/13/23 saying our bus is cancelled due to mechanical issue. No refund on that as well

  I am concerned this company is a legitimate scam and I cannot believe they are a functioning business. I booked a 56 person charter bus in December of 2022 for May 6, 2023. On May 4 (less than 40 hours prior to departure), I received an email from the company stating that the bus had "maintenance" issues. They stated would work on getting me a replacement but no promises since they had already "sold out" for this weekend. Obviously concerned, I responded asking for prompt updates as we had several people coming into town for this event. A few hours later, the company responded stating they could only provide me with a 30 person bus, no bathroom, at the same price (~$2600.00). This did not work and was not an appropriate solution as our party would not fit into their replacement. Also, how can they expect to charge me the same price for a significantly lesser quality bus? Insane. The company then cancelled my bus completely, has stopped responding to ANY emails or phone-calls, and has not refunded any of the $2600.00 I have already paid them. I have reached out to them >10 times without a single response. Half of the emails on their website are fake (not real emails), and every time you call the company (any # on their website) it states "we are too busy with other callers and cannot field your call". All I want is my refund and I cannot get a hold of a single person at this company regarding this matter.

  Hello,

  We do apologize for the mechanical issue that is completely out of our control. Our team did everything possible to secure an alternate vehicle. Since the only alternate option would not work for your group, the charter was cancelled. This charter was noted for a full refund which was processed today, 5/10/23. Depending upon your bank, this may take a few days to show on your end.

  Thank you,

  I am seeking a full refund and payment for expenses incurred from lack of service. My charter number is ********. On January 18 and 19, I paid $2.44.37 and $2,199.37, for a charter bus round trip to pick a group of 39 from our location to ***. They confirmed that they will pick us up from our location on March 19, 2023 at 3AM. They said the bus will be there anywhere between 2:30-2:45AM. Around 2:50, the bus had not yet arrived. I called dispatch and they said that the bus should be on it's way. After a few more minutes, I called again and they said the bus left the depot a while ago and is on its way. I pointed out the fact that they had not asked for my name, account number, so how do they know. I asked them to check on the status and they said they were having trouble contacting the bus driver and the *** on the bus was not working. This went on for another 20 minutes. After about 3:30, we asked them where the bus depot was located. They said the bus left ***************** 45 minutes ago. North ** is more than an hour away. Eventually, we were told that the bus driver got a flat tire but is now on its way. However, they could not provide us an accurate location or ETA. At that point, we had no other choice but to quickly arrange for us to get to *** on our own. I filed a complaint/refund request on March 19, but I have yet to hear from them. There is no number on the website or my account for me to talk to a person. So, I called the main company number and I have attempted to call accounting. No matter what time of the day I get a voicemail. On March 28, I called dispatch to tell them we landed. They said the bus is on its way and will be there at 9:25PM (the pickup time was scheduled for 9PM). By 9PM I called to ask where to meet the bus and ETA. They could not provide an accurate ETA. At 9:50 they said the bus was 25 minutes away. By then, we had no other choice but to rent cars to get us to our homes over an hour away.
