IMPORTANT NOTE FOR: Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices, please notify all passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board motorcoaches and not to stow them in luggage under the motorcoach. While the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has not yet issued an advisory like the Federal Aviation Administration for aircraft regarding the Galaxy Note 7, ABA feels this is an important safety issue for our members, clients, and industry.

GENERAL GUIDELINES: Our goal is to meet every passenger and group promptly and efficiently. Clients and passengers can usually obtain the name and cell phone number of their chauffeur or bus captain by calling our office within 24 hours of the pickup. We request all clients provide a cell phone number for the lead passenger as well as an emergency backup number. We will automatically meet our passengers with a name-board sign at airports, hotels and other large venues. Vehicles for larger groups will always have a name-board in the window on the passenger side. The sign will have the passenger’s first initial & last name or the group name. Separate pickup instructions may be substituted for any trip, but may incur additional charges.
