Will Charter Service Ever Rule the World?

# Charter buses are the ultimate way to get your group from one place to another. 
**Kasper Transportation's charter are safe, comfortable and reliable, so you can be assured that your event will be a success. Here's how to book a charter bus with us!**

## 1. Choose a bus that fits your needs

There are many types of charter buses available, so make sure you choose one that suits your needs. If you're planning on using the bus for an all-day event with multiple stops, then you may want to consider a tour bus or motor coach. Tour buses typically have more seats than other types of charters and have plenty of room for luggage storage. Motor coaches have fewer seats but offer more legroom and comfort.

## 2. Decide on the type of driver

When booking a charter bus, you'll need to decide whether or not you want a driver included in your price or if you'd like to hire one separately. Hiring a driver is helpful if you don't know how to operate the vehicle yourself or if there aren't any other drivers available in your area who can help out with transportation during your big day!

## 3. Ask about any special accommodations that might be available, like wheelchair accessibility or extra seating space.

Guides to Book charter with Kasper Transportation

- Choose a rigid, good quality, corrugated cardboard box.
- If you’re reusing a box, be sure to remove old shipping labels or cover up old addresses.
- Wrap the item in tissue paper or newspaper (if fragile). 
- For items mailed in a frame, like pictures, protect the front and back with strong cardboard larger than the frame. 
- Pack and seal the item in a container or box small enough to fit inside your shipping box.
- Label the inner container with the address and return address and then put it inside the shipping box.
- Surround the inner container with cushioning material (like an old t-shirt or bubble wrap) on the top, bottom and all sides to limit movement and protect the item.
- Close the shipping box with reinforced tape.
- Tape all seams with reinforced tape.
- Write the address and return address on the top — the largest side of the box.

How to pack the shipment?

## **Are you shipping a package and not sure how to measure it?**

Don't worry, we're here to help. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the three different methods for measuring a package, so you can choose the one that's right for you.

**Method #1 - Use A Tape Measure**

This is the most straightforward method - simply use a tape measure to measure the length, width, and height of your package. Keep in mind that you'll want to measure in inches or centimeters, so don't forget to mention that to our shipping agent. Once you have the measurements, simply enter them into our shipping page in the mobile app or give us a call.

**Method #2 - Use A Ruler**

If you don't have a tape measure on hand, no problem - you can use a ruler instead. Just like with the tape measure, you'll want to measure the length, width, and height of your package in either inches or centimeters. Once you have your measurements, just enter them into our shipping page in the app or give us a call. 

**Method #3 - Use Your Hands or Bring it to us**

This is probably the quickest method, although it's not always the most accurate. To measure with your hands, simply hold your arms out to your sides and estimate the length and width of your package. For height, hold your hand up in the air and estimate how many times it would fit on top of the package. Again, once you have your measurements, give us a call. 

Also, we provide the facility to measure your package at our main office and give you a quote for the same.

How to measure the package?


- To weight the parcel, you should first seal the parcel completely.
- Then put them n the weighting scale.
- You can also bring it to our head office on Memorial Ave in Thunder Bay and we will weight it for you.

With the rise of Covid-19, many people are wondering how to travel safely. When it comes to buses, there are a few extra precautions you can take to protect yourself and others. Here are some tips on how to travel safely on the bus during Covid-19.

## 1. Wear a face mask. 
This is perhaps the most important thing you can do to protect yourself when riding the bus. A face mask will help to prevent you from spreading the virus if you are infected, and will also protect you from respiratory droplets that could contain the virus.

## 2. Avoid touching surfaces. 
When you're on the bus, try to avoid touching surfaces as much as possible. If you do have to touch a surface, make sure to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer afterwards. 

## 3. Keep your distance from others.
Whenever possible, try to keep at least 6 feet away from other people on the bus. This will help to reduce your exposure to respiratory droplets that could contain the virus. 

## 4. Ventilate the space. 
If possible, open a window or ventilate the space on the bus to allow fresh air to circulate. This will help to dilute any respiratory droplets that may be in the air and reduce your exposure to the virus.


By following these simple tips, you can help to protect yourself and others when travelling on the bus during Covid-19.

When it comes to booking bus tickets, it's essential to select the fare class that aligns with your travel needs and preferences. In this blog post, we will compare two bus fare classes: Standard Fare and Freedom Fare, and help you determine which one might be the better choice for your next journey.

**1. Standard Fare: Budget-Conscious Travel**

- *Purchase Options*: Available exclusively online at www.gokasper.com, the Kasper app, or through the customer service center.

- *Baggage Allowance*: Standard Fare includes 1 checked bag weighing up to 50 lbs and 1 carry-on small bag. Additional bags can be added for $25 each.

- *Rebooking*: Sales are final with no option for rebooking.

- *Cancellation*: Sales are final, and unfortunately, there are no refunds.

- *Points*: For every dollar spent, you earn 1 point, with each point valued at 0.10 cents (1/10) of the dollar.

**2. Freedom Fare: Enhanced Flexibility and Added Benefits**

- *Purchase Options*: Freedom Fare can also be purchased online at www.gokasper.com, the Kasper app, or through the customer service center.

- *Baggage Allowance*: This fare class offers an enhanced baggage allowance, including 2 checked bags, each weighing up to 50 lbs, and 1 carry-on small bag. Additional bags can be added for a reduced fee of $15 each.

- *Rebooking*: Enjoy the freedom to rebook your bus journey at no additional charge, providing flexibility in your travel plans.

- *Cancellation*: One of the standout features of the Freedom Fare is its refundable nature, giving you peace of mind in case your plans change.

- *Points*: With the Freedom Fare, you earn 1.15 points for every dollar spent, and each point retains the same value of 0.10 cents (1/10) of the dollar. This slight bonus adds up over time.

**Comparing Standard Fare and Freedom Fare: Which One Is Right for You?**

The choice between Standard Fare and Freedom Fare ultimately depends on your travel priorities. If you're seeking a budget-conscious option and have no plans to change your itinerary, the Standard Fare may be suitable. However, if you value flexibility, added baggage allowance, and the option to rebook or get a refund if circumstances change, then the Freedom Fare is the clear winner.

Here's why we suggest the Freedom Fare:

1. **Enhanced Baggage Allowance**: You get to bring an extra checked bag with you, making it ideal for those longer journeys or when you need to carry more luggage.

2. **Flexibility**: The Freedom Fare allows you to rebook your trip at no extra cost, offering peace of mind if your plans need adjustment.

3. **Refundable**: This fare class provides the option for a refund, ensuring you won't lose your money if unforeseen circumstances force you to cancel your trip.

4. **Bonus Points**: You also earn slightly more points with the Freedom Fare for each dollar spent, which can add up over time and potentially lead to more significant rewards.

In conclusion, while both fare classes have their merits, the Freedom Fare offers the added benefits of flexibility, enhanced baggage allowance, and the option for refunds, making it our recommended choice for travelers looking for a worry-free and rewarding bus journey. So, go ahead and book your Freedom Fare for a more relaxed and enjoyable travel experience!
