When choosing a motorcoach company, you want one with high standards, offering the best in service, value, and, above all, safety. That’s what Motor Coach Charters Canada aims to offer groups through its network of trusted operators throughout the country. Motor Coach Canada (MCC) and the Ontario Motor Coach Association (OMCA) recently spoke with Group Tour about all you need to know when shopping for motorcoach services.
Q. What makes motorcoach travel ideal for tour groups?
A. Sustainability. Affordability. Convenience. Motorcoaches emit less carbon dioxide per passenger mile than any other mode of travel, making them the top choice for travelers who want to reduce transportation emissions. Motorcoach travel is also more affordable because it allows groups to consolidate costs, avoid extra fees, and optimize logistics, making it a cost-effective and streamlined option for group tours. Lastly, motorcoach travel offers unmatched convenience for tour groups by providing door-to-door service, flexible schedules, comfortable onboard amenities, and the ability to travel together without the stress of coordinating multiple vehicles or navigating complex transit systems.
Q. What considerations should there be when booking a motorcoach charter?
A. Selecting a company based on price alone could lead to disappointment down the road. High safety and maintenance standards, proper documentation and certification, sufficient insurance coverage, and satisfactory safety ratings are all non-negotiable considerations if you want your groups to arrive safely and comfortably.
Q. What considerations should be taken for groups crossing the Canada-U.S. border?
A. From a charter perspective, there are different licensing requirements, driver hours of service regulations, and requirements regarding the use of approved Electronic Logging Devices to track these hours of service in each country. Hiring a reputable company familiar with cross-border travel will put your mind at ease and let you focus on ensuring your group has their passports and other documentation requirements in order before the trip.
Q. How does Motor Coach Charters Canada help with finding the right charter company?
A. Motor Coach Charters Canada offers a comprehensive approach to help travelers and organizations choose reputable, safe, and reliable charter bus companies. All quote requests submitted through motorcoachcharters.ca are sent strictly to motorcoach carrier members of Motor Coach Canada and the Ontario Motor Coach Association. These members are all vetted for their compliance with licensing and safety standards before being approved for membership.
In addition to connecting you directly with reputable motorcoach operators, the Motor Coach Charters Canada website provides ample information and resources to help you do your own carrier vetting to ensure you are making the right choice for your charter.
Q. How can tour planners get a quote for an upcoming charter in Canada or going to Canada?
A. Head to motorcoachcharters.ca and submit your request through our online form. Your trip details will be sent to all OMCA and MCC operators in the appropriate province(s), who will connect with you directly to provide a quote for your trip. You can then work directly with them to determine if they are the best carrier for your group tour. If you have any questions, simply contact info@omca.com.
