Transporting meeting attendees in a chartered bus is an affordable option for meetings planned locally, as well as for transporting people from the airport or train station to the host hotel, or from the hotel to the convention center or meeting location. Contrary to the misguided assumptions that charter buses are a less than ideal option due to misgivings about bus travel in general, charter buses offer comfortable, clean transportation that can be absolutely luxurious.

To avoid complications and ensure a successful chartering experience, here are seven questions that should be considered before reserving a bus:

1. How many people do you need to transport?
2. Do any of the travelers have special needs that will need to be met?
3. What level of luxury do you desire?
4. Is the trip overnight? If so, you may need to make a hotel reservation for the driver.
5. How long is the trip? You may need more than one driver, depending on the number of hours that need to be driven each day.
6. Is your client more concerned about the cost or level of luxury provided?
7. Do you need a video-equipped bus? This can allow attendees to watch training videos, videos about the destination, movies or any other materials provided by you or your client.
