5.5 Surefire Ways to Conclude Your Next Group Trip On The Right Note!

Here are 5.5 surefire ways to conclude your next group trip on the right note:

1. Avoid fast food and drinks in the coaches or vans. When taking your group to a fast food restaurant, announce to them in advance that they must consume and dispose of all fast food and drinks inside the chosen place. This will help you avoid excessive cleaning fees at the end of the trip such as carpet and seat stains. The carrier will charge you for any stains that can’t be removed!

2. Never allow your group to change clothes on a motor coach. The aisles are much too narrow and passengers will end up sitting on the armrests and breaking them. Coach armrests are very expensive to replace and can drain your budget quickly! Change clothes elsewhere if possible!

3. Return vehicles in the same condition as when you received them. Whether you are renting vans or a coach with a driver, buy extra trash bags and announce well in advance to your group that each of them will be responsible for disposing of their own trash prior to exiting the vehicle. If your group has written in shoe polish on the van windows, clean all of that off before the trip concludes.

4. Leave no personal possessions on any rented vehicle. The rental company or coach carrier has no legal responsibility for any personal effects you leave in their vehicles after the trip. Take it with you or you may never see it again. The carrier will have this stated in their agreement also.

5. Have your group completely ready to depart for the trip back at the appointed date and time stated in your final itinerary that you originally presented to your coach carrier. If your group goes over the prescheduled time in hours, you will receive an unwanted surprise invoice after the trip!

5.5 Build into your budget a predetermined gratuity for your coach driver rather than passing the hat at the conclusion. Treat the driver with respect and give him/her the planned gratuity! Have at least two members of your group perform a final walk through of the coach before you are done!
