Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel must offer parking for the bus and be located within a reasonable distance of your group’s lodging or event venue.

No, your quote does not automatically include tolls, parking, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip. These fees are the responsibility of the chartering party and must be paid separately. Be sure to factor in additional costs for toll roads, bridge crossings, and parking at venues or hotels when budgeting for your trip. If you’d like an estimate of these expenses, please provide your full itinerary and we can help identify potential charges along your route.

Wheaton has specific regulations regarding charter bus parking. Buses are generally not allowed to park on residential streets or in downtown metered zones. However, you can arrange short-term loading and unloading at designated curbside locations near hotels, schools, and event venues. For longer-term parking, contact the City of Wheaton Transportation Department to obtain a permit for one of the municipal lots or pre-approved off-street facilities. Popular options include the Wheaton Metra Station lot and large church or college parking areas. Always confirm parking arrangements in advance to avoid fines or towing.

Wheaton is served by Metra commuter rail, Pace suburban bus routes, and nearby CTA connections—but these systems operate on fixed schedules and limited routes that may not align with your group’s needs.
