The group is responsible for all tolls, parking, ferry, and entrance fees incurred on the trip.
Unless noted, the group is responsible for providing and paying for each driver with a single, non smoking hotel room. The Chartering Party is responsible for reserving a room(s) for the driver(s).

The driver must be given eight (8) consecutive hours off before he/she may resume his/her duties.

- Equipment
Equipment furnished by the Company is thoroughly inspected before being assigned to the charter service to insure uninterrupted service. If for some reason beyond the control of the Company, a mechanical failure makes necessary the replacement of a bus originally assigned to the charter service, the replacement bus may be of a different type. DVD / CD Equipment are installed on our entire over the road motorcoaches. Only non-copyrighted video cassettes are permitted to be shown. We are not liable for providing the video nor are we liable for the content shown on the videos. We also reserve the right to sub-contract if it is necessary.

Prices will not be guaranteed for reserved buses booked more than twelve (12) months in advance. Exception: Southeastern Stages reserves the right to impose a fuel surcharge based upon an increase in fuel prices between the time the trip is quoted and the actual service date.
