Tiered pricing note: Tiered pricing gives you a smaller price per student as your group grows to fill more of your bus. At about 90 days before travel, we review your group for tiered pricing. Counting those who are on schedule with payments, we will decrease your price if you’ve reached a lower tiered price. Trips are usually billed on a higher tiered price. We hope for price decreases, rather than increases. Should you reach a lower tier, you and your group may decide to add something to the trip rather than have a price decrease. If there are overpayments, they are refunded before the trip travels. |
