How do I reserve a bus?

Complete a Bus Reservation Request Form (PDF). This form must include the cost center account name, cost center account number and signature of the cost center director, and be emailed to bus@coastal.edu along with a detailed itinerary. Once a bus reservation request form and itinerary are received, Transportation Services will return a Bus Use Confirmation to your group. It is important to submit your request as soon as the need arises; however, reservations made at least two weeks in advance are preferred.

How much does it cost to reserve a bus?

The approximate cost for a full or half day rental is listed on the top of the bus reservation request form.

What is included in a bus rental?

The bus use, a University CDL driver, and fuel are all included in the bus rental.

What do I need to include on my itinerary?

An itinerary is needed for each bus rental. Each day of your trip should be listed with the various stops and destination addresses. Pick-up and drop-off locations should be identified, along with the times for each stop/destination. Group leader contact information and hotel information need to be listed as well.

Will I need to provide a hotel room for the driver if the trip is overnight?

Yes. A hotel room for each driver is the responsibility of the renter when traveling overnight or for a trip that exceeds the driver’s 15-hour on-duty limit.

How long can my driver be on duty?

According to Federal DOT guidelines, a driver can drive no more than 10 hours per day and can be on-duty no more than 15 hours total per day.

How do I change or cancel a reservation?

Cancellations must be emailed during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday to bus@coastal.edu no later than 24 hours before your departure. Cancellations with fewer than 24 hours’ notice or no-shows will incur a charge to the cost center account number noted on your reservation.

Can I hire a driver to drive for a motor pool 12-passenger van?

Yes. University CDL drivers are available for hire. To hire a CCU CDL driver, follow the same process as reserving a bus.
