Travel Policies
In an effort to accommodate you and make your travel with us as pleasant as possible we have outlined parameters for your travels. This overview is for your assistance and is not limited to any and all other applicable sources of law or guidelines that be published in other sources.
Customers with Disabilities
It is the policy of Cavalier Coach to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and provide accessible service to all passengers and help make your trip as pleasant as possible.
Please advise Cavalier Coach at the time of booking, of any individual(s) with a disability that may require specific assistance. If for any reason notice is not provided, Cavalier Coach will nevertheless make a reasonable effort to provide such service, and we will be glad to help.
If you know ahead of time that your trip will include scheduled stops it is always helpful to let us know before the trip so that we can best accommodate your needs. If you need any assistance during a rest stop from the bus operator (including retrieving a mobility device, operating the lift, etc.) please ask the bus operator and we will be happy to assist you.
If you are travelling on a Cavalier Coach bus making a 3 hour trip or longer, that does not have any scheduled rest stops, and is equipped with a lavatory that is inaccessible to your disability, you may request an unscheduled rest stop.
If you require special assistance of a personal nature you should consider traveling with a personal care attendant as our staff will not provide that level of assistance.
Animals
Our policies prohibit animals on board our buses; however the exception is any ADA service animal.
A “service animal” is any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to, guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals with impaired hearing to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items. 28 C.F.R. § 36.104.
Emotional support and comfort animals are not considered service animals under the ADA.
All service animals are the sole responsibility of the owner and must be in control with a leash, carrier, or other restraints that are appropriate. Any damage to the bus or clean up required is the responsibility of the owner of that service animal. Service animals cannot travel in the aisle or occupy a seat that may otherwise be available to other passengers. Service animals will not be transported in the luggage compartments under the bus. Cavalier Coach will not transport any animal that is considered a threat to the health and/or safety of other passengers or Cavalier Coach personnel.
Assistance
Cavalier Coach will assist you as best as can be accommodated with your request. Please advise the driver on scheduled service operations and advise your sales agent at the time of booking your charter. We will assist you where possible but will not provide assistance of a personal nature. If you have such needs, please arrange to travel with a companion.
