Ground transportation in New York for tour operators, travel companies, universities and delegations from abroad: the airport arrival, the days in the city, the day trips to the Hudson Valley, Philadelphia or Washington, and the ride back to the airport. One coach, one driver, one number per day.
Price the program →Art, architecture, food and history programs from Europe and Asia with a tour leader or docent in charge. The coach follows the program and the driver follows the tour leader.
Faculty-led groups and student delegations on a fixed itinerary, with the same driver from arrival to departure and one adult in charge of the count.
Official and corporate visitors with a schedule of meetings, site visits and dinners across Manhattan and New Jersey, invoiced to the organization.
Agencies in New York that need a coach for a client group: a quote per program, the driver’s details ahead of the date, and one person to call.
Sports teams, choirs and ensembles with equipment, moving between the hotel, the venue and the airport on one plan.
The flight is tracked, the coach is at the terminal when the group clears customs, and the bags ride in the luggage bays with the group, not in a second vehicle. Say how many large suitcases are coming and the vehicle is sized for them.
Museums and neighborhoods in Manhattan, Dia Beacon and Storm King in the Hudson Valley, the museums of Philadelphia, a day in Washington: the coach stays with the group for the day and the driver waits where the venue puts buses.
On a program that moves city to city, the same coach and driver stay with the group for the whole run. The driver’s hotel on the overnight legs is the one extra, listed before you confirm.
One coordinator sets the plan, the tour leader has the driver’s cell before the first day, and a changed time goes to one number.
Dates, flights, the hotel, the day-by-day plan, how many passengers and roughly how much luggage. A rough draft is enough to price.
Gratuity and fuel are in the number and tolls are itemized at cost, so the quote is the price. Parking at venues and the driver’s hotel on overnight legs are the only items outside it, named on the quote.
A 25 percent deposit by card holds the dates, the balance is due seven days before the first service, and the receipt and the booking summary follow by email for your accounting.
A group of 12 with a day’s luggage rides a mini bus; the same 12 without bags ride a Sprinter. Thirty riders ride a mini coach, and a 50-person tour runs a full coach with the bays for the bags.
Luggage decides the vehicle as much as the headcount. Say how many large suitcases are coming and the quote names a vehicle with room for both.
“From staff to transportation, Glyde was extremely professional. Bus was spotless, communication was flawless. Smooth ride overall and we will definitely be locking in more trips this year with them.”
The dates, the flights, the day-by-day plan and the headcount are enough to price the whole program, airport to airport.
