Common questions
Does a charter bus company need federal authority?
A for-hire passenger carrier that crosses state lines needs a USDOT number and active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number). Trips entirely within one state are generally regulated by the state. Check any company on FMCSA SAFER.
How much insurance must a charter bus company carry?
For interstate for-hire passenger carriers, the federal minimum is $5,000,000 in public liability for vehicles seating 16 or more (including the driver) and $1,500,000 for vehicles seating 15 or fewer (49 CFR 387.33T). Ask for a certificate of insurance naming your group.
How long can a charter bus driver drive in a day?
Under federal hours-of-service rules for passenger carriers, a driver may drive up to 10 hours after 8 consecutive hours off duty, and may not drive after being on duty 15 hours. See our driver hours guide.
What does “Not rated” mean?
FMCSA only issues a safety rating after a compliance review, and most carriers have never had one. “Not rated” is not a negative mark. SAFER also shows inspection and out-of-service results for the last 24 months.
Can I get a wheelchair-accessible coach?
Under the ADA rules for over-the-road buses, charter and tour operators must provide an accessible bus when a passenger with a disability asks; they may require up to 48 hours' advance notice (49 CFR 37.189).
Why is my company missing?
We list active for-hire passenger carriers that updated their FMCSA registration in the last 24 months and report at least one coach, bus, limousine or 9–15 passenger van. If you qualify, claim your listing.
