Booking Bell Trans 24-29 passenger bus

For those of you that booked the larger passenger buses, how far in advance did you book? We are inviting less than 70 (including us) and depending on how many people go, I am guessing I'll need one or two of the 24 or 29 passenger buses.

Also, is it the case that you do not pay until shortly before the day of service? And can you change the size bus you need, upon availability (if our guest count decreases)? Or do they have an restrictions?

Thanks

  • We booked one literally four days before we needed it. Just a last minute transportation decision to pick us up from the airport. In our case, we paid right then. Not sure if you can defer it until closer to the day or not. Earth limos charged us the day before and we booked months in advance.

  • I had those questions too, they didnt seem very specific to my questions via email, just "yes or no" answers. The said the didnt need a credit card to reserve....wierd
  • I reserved mine today for our 3/30 wedding.  I told her we weren't booking round trip because I don't know when we will be heading back to our hotels.  She said as long we give an hour's notice, we should be able to get a shuttle back. 

    They also took my payment today.  I don't know if I could have waited until the day of service because I didn't ask.  I wanted to get it over with anyhow.

    Lol.  I'm pretty sure they have a huge fleet.  There are always a ton of them at the airport.  I booked them at 4.

  • Hope OP doesn't mind me piggybacking on this post, it is related though. I see on Bell's website they have an hourly fee for this bus; I need bus to pick our party up on the strip and transport to our wedding receiption, then 5 hours later come back and pick our party up and transport back to the strip. Would they count this as on hour for each trip or would they count this as 5/6 hours? Round trip would easilly be under 30 minutes each way.
  • I would guess an hour each time. You would just have to book them for two different time slots. I think they'd only book you the full span of time if you had it on standby so they couldn't book it to someone else the whole time
