Terms & Conditions


Tickets

Tickets are limited as endorsed and are non-transferable. The unauthorized resale of Vonlane tickets is strictly prohibited and will be prosecuted. Tickets are valid ONLY for the schedule, date and time for which purchased. All passengers must be checked in with an attendant five minutes prior to departure. Customers who fail to cancel a trip at least two (2) hours prior to departure or who do not board the coach at least 5 minutes prior to departure will be considered a no show and all fare will be forfeited.

Fares & Fees

Fares are valid ONLY for the schedule, date and time for which quoted. Discount fares are subject to date, time and schedule restrictions. All unrestricted one-way or roundtrip ticket fares that are cancelled within 24 hours of the first segment of the trip but 2-hours prior to the time of departure are available as Vonlane travel credit for six months from the date of cancellation. Travel credit must be used to complete travel in the six months following the cancel date. Fares are payable in US dollars only unless stated otherwise. Fares are subject to change and may be higher during holiday and peak periods.

Cancellations & Modifications

Tickets cancelled greater than 24 hours in advance of the first leg of the departure time are fully refundable, at a value equal to the fare paid, to the original form of payment used to purchase the ticket.

Tickets cancelled inside of 24 hours and prior to 2 hours before the first leg departure time of your trip are re-usable for future travel at a value equal to the original fare paid. Tickets cancelled less than 2 hours prior to the trip departure time are non-cancellable and nonrefundable.

Credit for cancelled trips expires six months after the cancellation date and is removed from a passenger's account. Credit must be used to complete travel within six months of the original cancel date. There is no refundable or re-usable value for a "no-show" ticket. Trips booked within 24 hours of the departure time are not refundable to the purchaser's credit card.

All tickets may be modified to another scheduled trip provided there are seats available on the newly selected trip. A ticket may only be modified one time within two hours of the original departure time. Once it has been modified, the new ticket will be non-refundable and non-transferable in any form. Modifications may result in additional charges should the newly selected trip have a higher fare. Cancelling your existing trip and purchasing a new ticket will result in a second charge to your credit card. Your cancelled trip will be subject to our cancellation policy and thus may result in a loss of fare or the issuance of Vonlane credit. Any modification made less than two hours prior to the departure time of a trip results in a new ticket that is non-refundable. Passengers who modify their trip to another departure with a higher fare must pay the fare difference. Modifications to lower fare trips will result in Vonlane credit on the booking passenger's account for use towards future travel in the six months following the modification date.

Amenities

Fares are payment solely for transportation. Amenity items including, but not limited to, Wi-Fi, meals, snacks, blankets, pillows, and beverages are not complimentary, are based on availability, and not guaranteed as part of transportation fare.

Vonlane Rewards

Vonlane may, in its discretion, change the Vonlane rewards program rules, regulations, and award level at any time with or without notice. This means that the accumulation of mileage credit does not entitle members to any vested rights with respect to such mileage credits, awards or program benefits.

Vonlane may, among other things, (i) withdraw, limit, modify, or cancel any award grant; (ii) change program benefits, mileage levels, participant affiliations, conditions of participation, rules for earning, redeeming, retaining or forfeiting mileage credit, or rules for the use of travel awards; (iii) rename or redefine program elements or benefits; (iv) add travel embargo dates, limit the number of seats available for award travel (including, but not limited to, allocating no seats on certain trips) or otherwise restrict the continued availability of travel credit awards.

Vonlane may make any one or more of these changes at any time even though such changes may affect your ability to use the credit or miles that you have already accumulated.

Vonlane Rewards members must have mileage earning or redeeming activity once every 6 months in order to retain their miles. If your account has no qualifying activity in any 6-month period, all miles and credit in the account will expire. Qualifying activity extends the expiration date of all unexpired mileage credit in your account for 6 months from the date of the qualifying activity.

Full fare refunds are not issued for normal transportation industry delays.

Luggage

Passengers are limited to two bags of 50 pounds or less and one carry-on bag that can fit in a coach’s overhead storage compartment. Please be advised that bags that commonly fit in a commercial airline overhead compartment will not fit in a motor coach’s overhead compartment. Any bag that does not fit in an overhead compartment will be required to be placed in the under bay luggage compartment which is not accessible during a trip. Any bag a traveler wishes to have with them during transit must fit in the overhead compartment, which generally can accommodate a briefcase, computer bag, or backpack. Vonlane is not responsible for nor liable for any damage done to luggage or the contents of luggage during loading, transit, or unloading. Passengers are strongly recommended to keep electronics and other valuables with them in the motor coach cabin rather than in checked baggage transported below the coach in a luggage bay.

Children

All passengers, regardless of age, must have their own purchased seat. Lap children or infants are not allowed aboard any Vonlane trip. Vonlane does not allow children under the age of five aboard a coach. Booster seats or child car seats of any kind cannot be accommodated about a Vonlane coach. Children are not permitted to walk in the aisle during a trip and must remain seated with the exception of short restroom breaks. The Vonlane cabin is smaller and quieter than an aircraft. For this reason, based on experience, Vonlane does not allow children under five years of age to ride.

Children age 10 and above may travel alone provided that an Unaccompanied Minor form is submitted to the Vonlane Passenger Service Center prior to the departure of the child's trip.

Pets

Small dogs, weighing less than 10 pounds, in a carry-case that can fit by a passenger's legs, are allowed on a Vonlane coach. The carry-case must be fully enclosed and the dog fully secured in the case. The case is not permitted on any table, seat, or in the coach aisle. The case, with dog inside, must remain on the floor by the passenger's feet throughout the trip. The carry case must not impede the personal space of any other passenger, their seat, or leg rest. Cats and other animals are not allowed aboard the motor coaches.

Bicycles

Bicycles cannot be stored in Vonlane luggage bays. Due to the unique nature of our motor coaches we do not have the same luggage capacity as a typical 45 foot motor coach.

Service Animals

Service animals that are "trained to take a specific action when needed to assist the person with a disability" are allowed aboard without being in an animal carrier. All service animals must be harnessed and controlled by the passenger at all times. Vonlane adheres to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA does not cover emotional support dogs. Therefore, emotional support dogs that cannot adhere to the pet policy above cannot travel aboard Vonlane.
