1. Why should we bother with organised transport for guests? Can't everyone just drive themselves?

Many venues on the South Coast – think beachside estates, winery barns, or rural properties – have very limited parking. Guests can end up parking kilometres away, walking in heels on gravel, or circling for ages. Add traffic on the Princes Highway or Grand Pacific Drive, and late arrivals become common.

A charter bus means:

• Everyone arrives together and on time (no "stuck behind a caravan" excuses!).
• No parking stress for guests.
• You open up more venue options – you’re not limited to places with huge car parks.

2. Is a charter bus safer than everyone driving separately?

Absolutely – especially if your reception involves drinks! In Australia, we've got strict drink-driving laws, and no one wants a guest worrying about being the designated driver.

With a professional driver:

• Everyone can relax and enjoy the champagne.
• Safe travel home, even late at night.
• Experienced local drivers who know the South Coast roads.

3. How does a charter bus make the day more enjoyable for guests?

Guests love it because:

• They travel as a group – the party starts on the bus! Play your playlist, share stories, and build excitement.
• Air-conditioned comfort with reclining seats, often USB charging and toilets on larger coaches.
• No navigation stress for out-of-town guests (many come from Sydney, Canberra, or interstate).
• Eco-friendly: one bus = far fewer cars on the road.

4. Is it expensive?

Actually, a charter bus is often cheaper per person than multiple "Ubers", especially on weekends and late evenings. When you do the maths and take into consideration multiple trips, fuel and parking fees, charter bus works out both more comfortable and economical. 

Actually, providing a charter bus for your guests is giving them a gift. In our experience, many couples find friends and family offer to chip in once they hear about the plan.

5. What if our ceremony and reception are at different locations?

This is where a charter bus shines! Many South Coast weddings have:

• Ceremony at a beach or chapel.
• Photos at a lookout.
• Reception at a winery or wedding venue some 20–40 minutes away.

A dedicated shuttle keeps the timeline perfect – no convoy getting lost between locations.

6. Can the bus handle multiple pick-up points (hotels, Airbnbs, etc.)?

Yes – good charter companies specialise in this. They’ll create a custom route picking up guests wherever your guests are staying, then drop everyone home (or back to a central spot) at the end of the night.

7. What size bus do we need?

This depends on the size of your wedding. Our bus fleet includes 10, 11 and 29 seater buses. Some weddings book two buses, others have one larger bus do two trips. This is something that you should discuss with the charter bus company, and a professional service will be able to provide a working solution for your number of guests, and wedding location/s.

8. When should we book?

As soon as you have your date and rough guest numbers – popular South Coast weekends (spring/summer) book out 9–12 months ahead, especially October–April.

Final Thoughts

Providing a charter bus isn't just logistics – it's a thoughtful touch that guests remember and appreciate. It lets everyone (including you!) relax and focus on celebrating rather than directions and designated drivers.
