Unhurried, Door to Door, the Same Driver Each Time

This is some of the steadiest work we do, and it is the work where the driver matters most. Boarding takes longer. Someone needs a hand with the step. The stop is not always where the map says it should be. None of that is a problem when it has been planned for, and all of it is a problem when a vehicle is booked on price alone and arrives with a driver in a hurry.

Trips we run

• Day trips — the Eastern Shore, Gettysburg, Lancaster County, Annapolis, the Shenandoah in autumn
• Services, conventions and revivals, including multi-vehicle movements for larger congregations
• Theatre and matinee runs, and the DC museums on a weekday when the crowds are thin
• Shopping trips, grocery runs, and standing weekly or monthly schedules
• Funerals and family gatherings, where keeping everyone together genuinely helps

How we handle it

• Unhurried boarding, with the driver out of the vehicle and at the door
• Kerbside pickup as close to the entrance as the vehicle can legally get, not across a car park
• Accessible vehicles arranged on request — tell us when you enquire and we will size it correctly
• Rest stops built into longer routes rather than improvised along the way
• The same driver on a recurring schedule wherever we can, because familiarity is worth a great deal to a regular group

Sizing and cost

• Vans 10–14, mini coaches 15–25, full coaches to 50
• One flat quote for the day, so a treasurer can put a real number in front of a committee
• Recurring schedules priced as a standing arrangement rather than trip by trip
