Amazing service :) I reached out to classic charter via their website and Bryson was very helpful in every step before our actual Dan and terry were our bus drivers and kept our students safe in all regards including that rough Central Valley fog. Thanks yall and will definitely work with the again. read more

Working with Sukh, Dan and Jake for our two day tour of Yosemite, Sequoia, Kings was such a pleasure. They were knowledgeable of the roads so we felt safe. We had Sukh for two days so it was great to see a familiar face; he worked so well with our group. Bryce was super helpful with meeting our groups needs; even when they were last minute. This company overall was such a pleasure to work with; will definitely use Classic Charter again! read more

Suhk was our driver. He did great. The next nights we had Ramon and he was a total jerk. We rent these busses for our high school teams and this might be a shock to Ramon but teenage girls get a little excited sometimes. The bus wasn't even ready to roll out and the girls were excited about where they wanted to eat. They were loud but nothing out of the ordinary,just excited. Ramon screamed at them to be quiet and sit down or he wouldn't be stopping to eat. Totally unprofessional. Inappropriate. And honestly, someone who behaves like that should not be allowed to drive school age kids. Maybe he should stick to the trips taking seniors to the casino. Most of our experiences were fine but this trip turned a solid 4 star company into a one star. Really bad experience. read more

Rosalinda took me from my home in Visalia to LAX and picked me up and brought me back home on my return flight. She is always on time, professional and pleasant. I highly recommend her and Classic Charter for transportation. read more

School rented the bus to take them to a school band performance out of town a hour away. When they arrived the storage door wouldn't open when pushing the button to open. Asked the driver to use the key to open because noticed key holes on the doors he said he did not bring the key and usually don't bring the keys with them . When talking to the driver he informed us he didn't even have a have a class A license he only had class B which isn't the correct license for driving more then 15 passengers. Driver was rude, i understand it was frustrating but it was also frustrating for us parents that drove a hour away to see our kids perform. Driver should know what to do In these situations but instead the kids were forced not to perform and return home. read more

Our driver Renekia is great! Highly skilled, pleasant and professional. Great trip! Highly recommend. Thank you!

TCP#11579 DOT256002 2/1/24 Excellent female driver, friendly I can't remember her name ..it might be Briniqua, she took us to Lancaster for a food show. the bus itself has one large window crack, has some seat belts that don't work, there's one in the back for sure and others elsewhere. great employee though! read more

We could not have asked for a better trip. Driver was on time to take us to Oakland Airport at 4am and was at Oakland Airport exactly when we needed to be pick-up. Felt safe with the driving and comfortable with a group of 12 in a very large van. Super easy to set up all plans. We would use Classic Charter again. read more

Each year I take over 500 students to Disneyland for Grad Nite. I've used many companies over the years, but Classic always proves to be professional and efficient. This year my bus was lucky enough to have Jennifer as our driver. She was amazing! She took care of all of us and was so kind and friendly. She's definitely the best Charter driver I've ever had. Thank you, Jennifer. And thank you, Classic. read more

We travelled with about 80 high school students and 10 staff for a 14-day period. Our bus drivers, Robert and Josh, were outstanding. I had the good fortune of being on a bus with Robert. He was polite, professional, had a wealth of information about the area, and most importantly, our group felt safe under their care. Looking forward to doing it again in the years to come! Robert & Josh, we'll request you! read more

Our driver Jennifer was great! We had a smooth and great time driving to Anaheim and back! I would definitely recommend her for our next field trip! Thank you! read more

Our bus driver, Renekia was amazing! Very entertaining, very accommodating for a bunch of Midwest people that have never been to the west coast.

The bus was very nice and fit the needs of our group. read more

Definitely recommend this company read more

Classic Charter handled a shuttle bus to my wedding in Oakhurst. It was so easy setting everything up. I was nervous that things weren't going to go well, but CC was great. There were zero issues. We'd go through them next time. read more

Highly Recommend! Owner and staff are courteous and pleasant

Best charter EVER! I have worked in education for many years and have used so many charters for field trips. I have to say this was the best bus, best bus driver FORREST, and best driving/customer service ever! From start to finish Forrest was pleasant, professional and accommodating. The bus was awesome! Hard wood type flooring and multiple TVs and individual air and light controls, along with some seats being four person seating with a table in the middle. From now on I will only ask for Classic Charters ! read more

Our driver is great,very courteous and is trying to accommodate us . I am currently on the double decker bus going to the Fresno State vs USC game. Unfortunately, the air conditioning system on the 1st floor is not working properly. The air is on but hot air is coming out. Passengers are having a hard time breathing. Suggestions: Please ensure air conditioning system is working during the hot summer. Please live up to your advertisement. You advertise your European double decker bus with sun shades. There are no shades on this bus ! Our passengers are very uncomfortable I would not reccomend renting this bus read more

Our group chartered a bus to Getty museum on 9/14/19. Robert Flores (I apologize if I got the last name incorrect) was a great driver. I am a former bus driver myself and I'm aware of the challenges involved with maneuvering a bus through traffic. His skills on the 405 were evident. He made the trip a very safe one. We had no problems going or coming home. The bus was very clean and having the AC was great. Thank you very much! read more

I took 35 students to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Our Monterey Bay Aquarium trip was great not only did we have a great coach the driver was WONDERFUL. His name was Mike I will always ask for Mike to be our driver. Mike went out of his way to make sure we were safe and comfortable. I have used other charters and drivers in the past and this was the first time that not only myself but everyone on the coach was treated with respect. Thank You Mike!!!! read more

Jennifer was amazing! She made our kids a priority! Thank you classic Charter for a great trip!

**This review is for a 14 passenger van** I am very surprised at the reviews here on Yelp; it almost made me not want to use Classic Charter for my wedding. We rented a house up in the Tehachapi hills for the Bridal party and we needed a ride to the reception. I called Classic Charter for a quote and it was easy-peasy. They rent the vans by the hour but can charge per 15 minutes. I knew it would be difficult to rally up the troops after the wedding was over so to have this option put me at ease; I wouldn't have to shell out cash for a full hour in case my drunk friends couldn't assemble! The booking process was fairly simple. They require a deposit to hold the van and then the balance payment two weeks prior to the date. I booked super close to my wedding date but they were flexible with me. Now for the day of pickup: I couldn't have stressed the importance of the driver allowing ample time to get up the mountain. The mileage seems low but when you crawl up the mountain at 15-20 mph it can take a while. The dispatcher entered the notes into her system and to my relief the driver was there early! The van was beautiful, clean, spacious, and the A/C worked. Being in a 50 lbs dress (obviously a slight exaggeration) this was super important! We all went into the van and onto the reception we went. The driver was very professional in demeanor and appearance. Another plus. Once the night was over, as suspected, my friends were impossible to rally into the van. As you can imagine, trying to get 10 drunk people into a van was a circus. After we were all in the van the shenanigans continued but the driver remained calm and collected and just kept driving. I was feeling really bad for him but his professional demeanor put me at ease. This is so important; you don't want the bride stressing out! I highly recommend Classic Charter for your multi passenger needs. I would use them again in a heart beat. read more

We had the best driver Mike Coffman. He was very friendly and accommodating. The trip was pleasurable and comfortable. We will definitely recommend Classic Charters in the future. read more

They get a one star because of the failure to understand their own inventory. two days ago I sent in a request for a charter van for my family to go to San Jose. I got an email with a quote that was to good to be true, emailed the company and they responded that I was quoted for the wrong vehicle, which only seats 7 so we couldn't use it anyways, but they fixed the vehicle problem and sent an actual quote sheet. I said yes lets do it,email responds says sending quote. 5 min later I get another email that states all the vans are now gone. So I call and they inform me that they never had a van that was available. and that someone put the description in the computer. In those days dealing with this company I lost other rentals. I am now facing the reality of telling my dying mother that her dream bday family trip is a no go all because Classic Charter couldn't get their classic act together. Unprofessional to the max, rental car companies at the airport have their sh*t together than this place. read more

My colleagues and I have used this company for years and each year it gets worse. This year the bus TVs don't work upstairs but does downstairs and they knew about it, but failed to tell us of the problem. This is a major issue when you are taking a group of students!!! The heater does not work downstairs so either you burn up upstairs or freeze downstairs. Chairs don't work properly on either upstairs nor downstairs. Driver was late to pick us up (never received a call) and when we had to call the dispatch she was rude saying it's only ten minutes late when in reality it bumped our schedule back and we had to adjust it. They should get a negative star if allowed! My recommendation is that you would not use them at all!!! read more

My wife wants to shoot out a special thank you to Aaron Rickey for being a wonderful driver for their recent school trip to the Christmas Show in Pismo. He was kind, funny, and competent. She would like him to drive them on every trip!! read more

I have been chartering buses with Classic for over 10 years. My organization uses them to transport our students and instructors to and from our 26 day backpacking courses. Very reliable, even when they are tasked with picking up in a random location in the middle of the night. Experienced mountain drivers always set my mind at ease when trusting that our kids will get home safely. Thanks Classic. read more

We used Classic Charter for an out of town cheerleading competition. Mike was an awesome driver! Not only was he super friendly, but he made sure to get us to and from our destination in a safe and timely manner. Thanks Mike for a great trip! read more

We just wrapped up a wonderful week-long trip down California. We used Classic Charter and had a WONDERFUL experience! Our bus driver Victor was so sweet and so helpful. He was always on time, sharply dressed, handled all of our luggage, helped with ice coolers of drinks for our guests, and had the bus tidied after every stop. The bus was very comfortable and I really appreciated the microphone system and power outlets. Victor went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend both Classic Charters and Victor to anyone looking for a bus service! read more

Contracts mean nothing at Classic Charter! Back in April, I contacted Classic Charter to arrange transportation services to and from LAX. I was quoted and accepted a price of $198.25 each way. I signed and returned the contracts that were sent along with the deposit. On June 1, I sent the remaining balance due for our trip. Then on June 25, six days prior to our trip, I received a call from Lisette to confirm our itinerary and inform me that the price I was quoted and had paid in full was wrong and they would no longer be honoring it. The next day, I contacted Lisette again and asked if the company could compromise with us since we realized it was a mistake that would cost them a lot of money. I was basically laughed at when I proposed to them that we would take care of our transportation to LAX if they would just honor the contract to pick us up. She stated that she would call me back and never did. I called back and was told the owner said no. I reminded her that we had a contract and had paid in full which to them meant nothing at this point. Today, I called to speak with the owner to see if we could work something out since we are four days away from departure with no options right now and after being placed on hold was told that he wouldn't speak with me. This is why we will never be contacting Classic Charter ever again. What type of business doesn't honor their contracts and won't even at least speak with a customer on the phone? read more

Michael C. Was polite, friendly, and professional. I felt safe on the road with him driving. Very professional!

Our school used Classic Charter for our field trip to Griffith Observatory. Service was perfect! The buses arrived exactly on time, the drivers were courteous and friendly! Our driver, Ruben went out of his way to make sure that our trip was flawless, even providing movies when we thought we hadn't brought any. We will continue to Classic for our Charter needs, and would be thrilled if Ruben was our driver again! read more

We chartered a bus for a school field trip! Mike Coffman was our driver and he was amazing. He was very good with the students. He got us to our destination in Los Angeles on time.
