In order to operate as a Charter Bus Company with interstate operations… a “Certificate of Authority” must be issued with an active Department of Transportation Satisfactory rating. This certificate can not be issued without proof of liability insurance, currently a minimum of $5million in coverage. Also, all buses are subjected to and must pass an annual federal safety inspection. The annual federal inspection involves lights, tires, any sort of leaks, the bus frame and suspension, bushings, shock absorbers, brakes, etc. Bus4Hire is proud to have a better than national average inspection rating, indicating superior operational control over our fleet.
