Changing reservations
Sometimes your schedule changes. We get that. We want to ensure you can quickly and easily change your reservation to match your new schedule.
You can trade in your reservation online as long as it’s at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure.
The cost of your initial reservation will go toward crediting the new one.
Please note that there is a trade-in fee applied for changed reservations:
- $3.00 for trade-ins more than 24 hours from departure.
- $5.00 for trade-ins 6 to 24 hours from departure.
- $7.50 for trade-ins 3 to 6 hours from departure.
In addition, there is a $3.99 new reservation fee, or $7 when the change is made by telephone, for changed reservations.
Don’t worry about having to scalp your tickets if you can’t make your bus.
