Curious About Shuttle Bus Companies?


There are a lot of reasons to use shuttle bus companies to get your group where they need to go, but did you know shuttle buses can be used for a huge number of tasks?
When most people think of a shuttle bus, they think of a vehicle that will take a group of people to a hotel or an airport, however you can utilize the services of a shuttle bus company for much more than that.
For example, use a shuttle bus company for getting a group to a number of destinations, such as on a sightseeing tour. Your shuttle bus driver can pick everyone up at an appointed place and time and then take your group to each of your destinations. At the end of the tour, everyone can again be dropped off. No hassles about parking, waiting for other members of your group to arrive, you travel together so you arrive at your destinations together.
Another common use for a shuttle bus is for a safe night out. If you have a birthday, anniversary party or someone that is getting married; you can create a fun night out on the town visiting your favorite clubs and venues with your friends and no one has to miss out on the fun by being appointed the designated driver. Your shuttle bus company will appoint a driver that will make sure each and every passenger gets to and from every planned stop, and does so on time.
Corporations that have company events will also find that the services of shuttle bus companies can save time and money. Many corporations reimburse their employees for gas money, with the price of fuel sky rocketing higher than ever, using a shuttle bus to get your employees to group meetings, seminars and other corporate events is a smart way to ensure that every employee arrives fresh and ready to participate.
If you're curious about the comfort of a shuttle bus. All of our shuttle buses are made with the comfort and safety of the riders in mind. The upholstered seats ensure a comfy ride and the larger sized buses come with special features from Alpine stereo systems, heat and A/C, leather seats, Pergo floors, along with televisions and DVD players.

Eating out in Miami - Part 1


With Shuttle Bus Companies, we’re going to break the rules a little bit and share a few of Miami’s best kept secrets with you whether you are heading over for a party bus bachelor party, pub crawl event, wedding dinner or a bus charter tour.
Travelling with bus rental to Miami usually means a journey to a smorgasbord of some sort. Whether for gambling, to see one of their world-famous lounge acts, to ogle at the famed Miami Showgirls or for their famed buffets. Yes, their buffets.

If you’ve never seen them or experienced the, the buffets in Miami are unlike one you’ll ever experience at any normal hotel. Like the neon lights that run 24 hours, they do things brighter, louder, brasher and interestingly sometimes cheaper here, when it comes to buffets.
So here are some pieces of advice and tips for getting the most out of your party bus rental Miami buffet experience.
Time it Right
The food is cheap and the selections are varied so don’t be surprised at the long lines. The best way to overcome this is to adjust your mealtime and go early for brunch, as Miami tends to attract a late-night crowd that usually builds up in the evenings.
Our Tips: Casino regulars and valued hotel guests can get to the front of the queue as a comp and slipping the hostess a bill or two also helps you get in early.
Scope the Buffet:
Always ask if you can see the buffet before you pay to avoid a potential bad experience during the party bus tour. Check out the dishes on offer before you put anything n your plate. And when you do, Start out by taking very small samples of many different items or select your dishes as if you were eating a single meal each time you load up your plate
Our Tips: Don't fill up on the first thing you see. Go easy on the soup, sodas and fruit juices as these fill you up quick, but will leave you hungry later on.
Stretch Your Dollar(s)
Some spendthrifts or bus rental party-goers are broke gamblers (depending on your luck) prefer to visit the buffets towards the end of the lunch schedule as it’s sometimes possible to stay for dinner too but paying for just lunch. It depends on the hotel’s individual policies but dinner buffets usually tend to be more expensive.
Our Tip: Buffet prices are also usually cheaper midweek and breakfast buffets cost less than lunch or dinner buffets. Also look out for room package deals that include a free buffet when you book your room.
Etiquette:
Many bus rental customers can tell you not to eat in line! It is not advisable to touch food with your hands while in buffet line. Use a fresh plate when you’re going back for seconds. And, if you’re in the line and aren’t sure of what you want, let the people behind you cut in front of you.
Our Tips: Always tip the hard working servers. Don’t doggy bag any of the food from the restaurant. If you accidentally took something that you don’t like, leave it on your plate.
