All of the given information provided by the Client is binding and cannot be changed without Coastline Coaches' acceptance.

  1. Deposits
    1. No date or vehicle is reserved until Coastline Coaches receives a deposit in the amount of twenty-five percent (25%) of the reservation total for Sprinters and SUV’s. Vehicles that hold more than 25 passengers require a fifty percent (50%) deposit of the reservation total. Remainder of deposit is due two (2) weeks or fourteen (14) days if reserving a sprinter or SUV. Buses are due thirty (30) days before the trip begins. The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.
  2. Reservations and Third Party Reservations
    1. When the Client’s reservation has been entered into the system and confirmed, the Client will be issued a reservation confirmation number. It is the responsibility of the Client to check that the confirmation issued is accurate and immediately notify us of any issues. If the Client does not confirm the details, confirmation is not made, therefore Coastline Coaches is not responsible for errors associated with your charter.
    2. Within forty-eight (48) hours before scheduled reservation, we request the client to call and confirm details of the charter.
    3. Wedding Planner, Event Planner, Relative, or Friend or the like, that make reservations, it is strongly encouraged that the credit card placed on file, as well as the signature on the agreement, be provided by someone who will be physically in the reserved vehicles, or is directly involved in the event for which transportation is being provided.

    1. Venmo may be accepted upon request.
    2. Credit Card with pre-Authorization required.
    3. Your credit card is pre-authorized for the estimated charges of your reservation. This reserves that portion of your available credit so, at the completion of the reservation, the reservation amount can be changed. Please be aware that if you provide a debit card, your issuing bank will treat the pre-authorization as a pending charge and will withhold that amount from your account until the completion of the charge. Therefore, Pre-paid or reloadable debit card will NOT be accepted.
    4. An additional four percent (4%) transaction fee for all credit cards. For credit card Clients, we cannot send a vehicle out without a valid pre-authorized credit card on file as a guarantee for payment for all pertinent charges, including any incidental expenses and damages.
