Trailways Customer Service Pledge

Whether you book your travel either through our website, with one of our ticket agents, or on a a partner travel site, we promise to provide you with our lowest-then available fare for the date and trip you choose. Be sure to sign up for Driven Rewards for promotional fares, deals, and discounts.

We pledge to provide on-time service with consideration given to events outside the operator’s control including weather, construction, congestion, etc. Adequate assistance determined on a case-by-case basis in situations of cancellations or following a material delay caused by the carrier. Reasonable compensation or rerouting in situations of overbooking in cases of cancellation or a material delay caused by the carrier.

The only commitment we place above customer service, is safety. Safe and orderly loading and unloading of passengers. We comply with all vehicle and traffic laws and regulations with highly qualified and fully trained drivers. We make certain that our vehicles comply with all applicable safety requirements.

Each year we purchase a number of new top of the line coaches, and retire the old. We do this to ensure that clean, comfortable and well-maintained vehicles and terminals is what you experience every time you encounter Trailways. Each year the best buses in the business (like the Prevost H345 or VanHool X45) are brought out with the latest cabin amenities, such as our complimentary high-speed WiFi, USB and 120v outlets at every reclining leather seat, the color and lighting. We want you to sit back, relax, and let us do the driving.

More information regarding special needs can be found under Travel Policies and FAQ’s in our Customer Service section. Whatever your special needs, we want to be sure that your trip is comfortable and as worry-free as possible. To do that well, it is helpful for us to know if you require any special services for your trip. You can request special services by calling our Customer Care Center at 800-858-8555, where an agent will be happy to answer any questions that you have.

All of our coaches are wheelchair-lifts equipped. We just ask to be notified in advance how many passengers in wheelchairs will be traveling with us.
