When we reach out to a potential partner, or when a bus operator applies to partner with Bus.com, we make sure that they are active members of recognized charter bus organizations such as the ABA (American Bus Association), the UMA (United Motorcoach Association) or the IMG (International Motorcoach Group).
We then validate that their information is correct and up to date, check their USDOT number, verify that the company does not have any accident records, and that they have the appropriate insurances for chartering buses.
We will also reach out to them to find out more about their day to day operations, and whether they are responsive and flexible enough to accommodate the demands of Bus.com customers.
