    My favorite meal is always the caprese sandwich!
    Mel B.

    I'm literally typing this as I'm riding on the bus. I have to make frequent trips to MD Anderson in Houston, and I love taking Vonlane. Every trip has been absolutely top notch. The drivers and bus stewards are so friendly and are great about remembering frequent "fliers." The attention to detail and service are exemplary...from the offerings of toothbrushes, toothpaste, sleep masks, pillows/blankets, computer/screen cleaners, and hand sanitizer to the meal, drink and snack options. If you're an MDA patient, Vonlane offers a slight discount. You need to call the MDA travel department to make reservations. My only problem with the service (and it's a smallish one) is that Vonlane has a quiet phone call policy (if you need to take a call you keep it brief and quiet) that they often do not enforce. It surprised me given the review from the person who said he was chastised for talking on the phone. During my last trip, the woman in front of me carried on a 90 minute conversation at top volume. By the time we got to Houston I knew waaaaay too much about her family drama (damn that cousin of hers that ruined the family reunion) and her dating life (btw guys, she's single and according to her, in need of some major action). As I'm typing this, the guy in front of me has been on a call since we left Austin thirty minutes ago. Again, not a huge issue and not one that takes away from the amazing experience, but darn it...I'm tired and want to nap.

    The best way to travel between Austin and Dallas Texas, if not the only way to travel between those two cities. I've taken other buses and even the horrible Amtrak. With Vonlane, departures are on time and the trip cost eliminates the riffraff completely. Imagine a quiet ride and snacks delivered to your sear every five minutes! Oh, and did I mention there's a "continental lunch" served in afternoon rides. All rides come with meals actually. Lastly, arriving to your destination in the blink of an eye is the ultimate perk. This is how I felt returning from vacation in Dallas to Austin for a business trip. Would recommend Vonlane to anyone who would like to ride basically a private jet on wheels.

    Vonlane might have spoiled road travel for me. Ever wish your travel time to your destination could be longer? No? You'd understand if you were on-board right now. To give you an idea of how awesome this bus is... I'm writing this review as I am reclined back in a super comfortable leather chair with my feet on a footrest, using the bus wifi. This beats the heck out of flying ANY day. I'm in Texas right now for work, and my company told me to book Vonlane to travel from Austin to Houston, rather than taking a flight. I had the same thought anyone would have upon being told they had to take a 3-hour bus ride: ugh. But this is on a whole other level. A flight from Austin to Houston could run you upwards of $180, which of course involves getting to the airport (in my case, would've required taking a taxi) an hour and a half before take-off, then getting crammed into an always-tiny plane seat... then having to get out of the Houston airport to your final destination. OR you could take Vonlane. This trip cost $79, with much easier pick-up and drop-off locations (downtown in both cities), with wide, incredibly comfortable leather seats that have padded leg rests. My attendant on this bus is Melanie, and she's super sweet and friendly. As soon as the bus departed, I was offered a choice of snacks, including crackers, fresh fruit, and even yogurt. Since my bus departed at 7 am (way too early for me), I hadn't had time to eat breakfast... so problem solved! Since it's a work trip, I decided I should probably get some work done, thanks to the wifi. There's only three other people on this bus, so I had my choice of seats, including the back conference room area which has mounted tables. I worked on my spreadsheets and had my breakfast, and once finished, Melanie helped me move all of my belongings to a more comfortable seat in the middle of the bus, since the conference room chairs don't recline as much and don't have the footrests. Right now I'm using a padded lap desk in my new seat, which honestly is even more comfortable than the conference room table. They have a whole list of amenities they offer complimentary (besides the snacks and beverages), including neck pillows, toothbrushes and sleep masks. They also offer phone and laptop chargers they can loan you (or you can purchase if you want to take them with you). These guys really have thought of everything. I am beyond impressed with this service, and will just have to keep my fingers crossed that they expand to Florida. A trip to Orlando from where I live is about the same distance as Austin to Houston, and I would much rather take this kind of service instead of driving myself! This is worth every penny!

    Aaaaahhhh. Serenity now!!

Not exactly what I wanted to see at such a moment. As it turned out later, technically, the error was in our order, but it would be nice if this detail was spelled out more clearly. After the appeal, the situation was quickly corrected, and by the next stage of the incident we were waiting for a much more comfortable transport solution. This made a positive impression, especially considering that there was a reaction and a desire to correct the situation. The drivers were professional, the organization on the routes - without significant failures. There are things that can be improved in terms of communication and transparency in the choice of transport, but in general the experience remains rather positive.

    The Ultimate Customer Service Story…read more We chartered a bus and coach for our daughter's wedding in Austin on March 30th. As the Father of the Bride I was shocked when the bus that showed up to bring our guests to the church was a school bus. After the ceremony I called Abdul to address my concern. After speaking to him it became clear that in reality the mistake was ours, not his. We had chartered a "transit" bus, which when you look on the website is a school bus. I wish the contract was more specific; as "school bus" certainly would have jumped out. But live and learn. Now to the good part. With my frustration high, Abdul was calm, cool and reasonable. He immediately realized I was not happy and kicked into high gear to see what he could do. While we had to take the school bus back to the hotel, by the time we left for the reception...less than one hour later...a gleaming full scale motor coach was sitting in front of the hotel instead of a school bus. Wow! I can't thank Abdul enough for stepping up. I was thoroughly impressed. When it comes to satisfying customers in a crisis, Austin Charter Services proves that it can still be done the old fashion way...do whatever you can to make your customer happy. I'll be back again some day for the next daughter. Thanks Abdul! Mike McCauley Argyle, TX P.S. The coach we ordered for the wedding party was perfect and the drivers were top notch.
