LUXURY COACH SERVICE VONLANE ADDS MEMPHIS-NASHVILLE ROUTE

Multiple daily departures to provide 'private jet on wheels' experience

(MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 17, 2023) – Vonlane, a Texas-based premium transportation company, today announced the expansion of its Southeast luxury motor-coach service with a new route between Memphis and Nashville. The addition includes daily service and 40 weekly departures beginning May 26.

For both leisure and business travelers between the two cities, Vonlane provides a luxury travel experience with its signature services of 22 first-class leather seats, ample personal space, complimentary Wi-Fi, and an on-board attendant offering premium cabin service with snacks, meals and beverages included. Travelers in both markets can book trips online now at vonlane.com, with introductory one-way fare set at $109 and roundtrip service set at $218 with no taxes, baggage or change fees.

“Our goal is to provide travelers an alternative to the hassle of driving their own vehicle,” said Alex Danza, founder and CEO of Vonlane. “We are pleased to expand our Southeast presence, and we know leisure travelers love the luxurious, first-class travel experience that we offer, and our business travelers know they can work in a quiet, comfortable environment and bill their travel time.”

“Today, there are zero nonstop flights between Memphis and Nashville, and the shortest connecting flight is more than three hours, plus the time passengers spend waiting at the airport,” Danza said. “With our service, you arrive 15 minutes before departure, board the coach, put your feet up, pull out your book or laptop, and we are on the way to your destination, and it beats driving your own vehicle and losing productivity sitting behind the wheel in traffic.”

The debut schedule features daily departures from each city as follows:

Memphis to Nashville

  • Monday, Thursday, Friday: 6 a.m., 10 a.m., 2p.m., 6 p.m.
  • Tuesday: 10 a.m., 6 p.m.
  • Wednesday: 6 a.m., 2 p.m.
  • Saturday, Sunday schedule: 10 a.m., 2 p.m.

Nashville to Memphis

  • Monday, Thursday, Friday: 6 a.m., 10 a.m., 2p.m., 6 p.m.
  • Tuesday: 6 a.m., 2 p.m.
  • Wednesday: 10 a.m., 6 p.m.
  • Saturday, Sunday schedule: 10 a.m., 2 p.m.

Passengers on the outbound coach from Memphis to Nashville board at the Hilton Memphis, located at 939 Ridge Lake Blvd., and arrive at the Omni Nashville Hotel, located at 250 Rep. John Lewis Way S.

"“Business and leisure travelers go back and forth between Memphis and Nashville with regularity, and we know there is a large group of international travelers who want to visit both cities, as well,” Danza said. “Our luxury coach service is perfect for visitors who want to experience both cities without additional airline travel or renting a car to make the trip up and down Interstate 40.”

Launched in 2014, Vonlane has created a loyal following of travelers, steadily expanding its routes over the years to meet increasing customer demand. The company currently offers transportation throughout Texas in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. A route between Atlanta, Georgia and Nashville, Tennessee was added in November 2022, as well. All routes result in more than 84 daily departures on peak travel days and 470 total weekly departures.

The company has been recognized for its fast growth and innovative business model with recognition as a winner of the Inc. 500, Dallas 100, Dallas 500 and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards.

Luxury Coach Service Vonlane Will Resume Select Routes in Texas on Friday, May 29th, Limits Passenger Count to 13 per Trip to Ensure Social Distancing

The popular coach service will deep clean between every trip, require face masks, conduct contactless fever scans, and implement other measures to ensure passenger and crew safety

(DALLAS, TX – May ##, 2020)Vonlane, the Texas-based premium transportation company, has announced it will resume select service routes on Friday, May 29th between Dallas and Austin; Dallas and Houston; and Houston and Austin. Vonlane crew members will follow extensive procedures to ensure the health and safety of its passengers while providing the luxury motor coach's signature first-class travel experience.

"As one of our core values, the safety of our passengers, crew, and fellow over-theroad travelers is our top priority,"" says Alex Danza, founder & CEO of Vonlane. In light of the current coronavirus situation, Vonlane is maximizing our efforts to make sure the Vonlane experience is as responsible, safe and comfortable as our passengers have come to expect."

As part of Vonlane's coronavirus response and service relaunch:

  • All aisle seats and certain conference table seats will be blocked through June, ensuring that all passengers sit alone with proper social distance and among a group of, at most, 12 other passengers.
  • Passengers must wear non-surgical face coverings that cover the nose and mouth throughout the trip. Face coverings may be removed while eating and drinking.
  • Passengers must submit to a contactless fever scan prior to boarding Vonlane motor coaches. Any passenger registering a temperature over 100.3 degrees will not be permitted to board.
  • All crew members will be masked throughout the trip and cabin attendants will wear FDA food code-compliant gloves while serving consumable products.
  • Vonlane motor coaches will carry hand sanitizer for passenger use that is NSF-certified and FDA food code-compliant.
  • Vonlane cleaning crews will use the EPA-certified Celeste Sani-Cide EX3 product to disinfect the interior of all motor coaches after every trip, and an overnight cleaning crew will perform a deep cleaning every night. The product meets EPA criteria for use against SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
  • Passengers may change their departure date and time with Vonlane at any time at no cost and no difference in fare; full refunds are available if cancelled 24 hours or more prior to departure of the initial leg of the trip.

For families seeking a post-quarantine vacation, Vonlane has introduced the ability to charter an entire coach to transit passengers to and from the beaches of Florida, the mountains of Colorado, or anywhere in the continental US. The whole-coach charter allows families to avoid congested airports and middle seats that come with air travel or public restrooms and unnecessary stops that come with road trips.

"We're eager to welcome our loyal passengers back to their private jet on wheels as well as introduce first-time travelers to our signature experience that provides a responsible, reliable means to travel in Texas and beyond," notes Danza. "As service resumes, we will continually monitor and modify our response based on guidelines from the CDC and State of Texas and the feedback from passengers and crew. We are also working hard to reopen our popular routes to Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City as soon as feasible."

Vonlane’s array of complimentary amenities includes noise-cancelling headsets, meals, snacks and beverages. Beer, wine and spirits are available for purchase.

Riders agree: Vonlane is the most comfortable and convenient motor coach experience in the nation.”

The five biggest cities in the Texas Triangle are now completely accessible on Vonlane motor coaches. Routes between Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and now Fort Worth were made possible through growing demand and loyal customers who have embraced Vonlane’s no lines, no waiting, premiere luxury coach service.

Vonlane was launched in May 2014 to give travelers an alternative to the delays and interruptions that accompany short-haul flights and the hassles of driving one’s own vehicle.

Vonlane and MD Anderson Team Up to Provide Discounted Luxury Travel for Cancer Patients

Patients traveling to and from Houston for treatment from Austin, Dallas, or San Antonio may access comfortable, affordable alternative

The partnership was forged in response to a growing number of cancer patients seeking transportation with Vonlane. Many of these patients have been advised by their doctors to avoid airlines due to immunosuppression following rounds of cancer treatment, which increases the likelihood of patients contracting illnesses from lingering microbes in mass-transit airports or in the close-quarters environment of airline cabins. Patients also say the fatigue caused by cancer treatment makes it difficult to drive or navigate the walking involved in airport terminals.

“Vonlane has become an important part of our patients’ treatment plans in the Texas Triangle. As airline and personal car travel may be too taxing or problematic for some patients, we’re pleased to offer patients a safe, easy, comfortable, and reduced-fare solution with Vonlane,” said Gretchen E. Vaughan, senior director of development for MD Anderson Cancer Center.

“We are honored to partner with MD Anderson and provide their patients with the very best accommodations to and from treatment,” said Alex Danza, founder and CEO of Vonlane. “We’re committed to providing a more comfortable and affordable travel alternative overall and especially for cancer patients in Texas. Our passenger-first culture ensures patients experience the same care and compassion while in transit as they do at home or at MD Anderson.”

The discount program is available to all MD Anderson cancer patients traveling to Houston for treatment from Austin, Dallas, or San Antonio. The reservations are 100% refundable and not subject to cancellation policies. Additionally, for each paying MD Anderson passenger, Vonlane will contribute to MD Anderson’s indigent patient travel program in the form of account credits for the cancer center’s use.

According to John C. Schweitzer, an MD Anderson Board of Visitors member, “As an avid and frequent Vonlane traveler, I readily saw an opportunity to enhance our patients’ lives by making their travel for treatment easier, friendlier, and more affordable. I’m thrilled Vonlane teamed with us to offer a discount for our patients and also stepped up to create a travel fund for our indigent patients.”

“I knew when Alex and Gretchen began collaborating that something good would result. Gretchen is a terrific asset for MD Anderson; I can’t imagine a more effective, respected ambassador for our exceptionally critical health care institution. Alex is a talented businessman and visionary who clearly understands the importance of putting customers first and shares our passion for MD Anderson. They have created an immense added value for our patients,” noted Schweitzer.

Vonlane’s Houston terminal is located in downtown Houston, approximately five miles from MD Anderson’s facility. The coach operates four weekday arrivals and departures in Houston from each of Vonlane’s locations in Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio. Additionally, the coach provides weekend service.

To secure the discount, patients must book directly through MD Anderson’s travel department.

The launch of Vonlane service to San Antonio means 70 percent of Texas’ population living in the “Texas Triangle” cities of Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are now served by Vonlane motor coaches.

The new route between Texas’ two largest cities will officially launch on April 5th, offering nearly seven million new customers the complete Vonlane experience, including first class seats, ample workspace, Wi-Fi, and an on-board attendant providing passengers with premium cabin service and complimentary amenities.

“We launched our first route between Austin and Dallas less than three years ago, and since then the demand for luxury coach service between the other major cities in Texas has exploded,” said Alex Danza, founder and president of Vonlane. “For the very first time, customers traveling between Houston and San Antonio will have the option to take Vonlane, the most comfortable and convenient motor coach experience in the nation.”

Each of the four major cities in the Triangle, home to nearly 18 million people, has been ranked in the top 20 of America’s fastest growing cities. Vonlane’s added service between Houston and San Antonio will not only offer a high-quality travel alternative for residents, it will help relieve a strained transportation system due to population growth.

Vonlane was launched in May 2014 to give travelers an alternative to the delays and interruptions that accompany short-haul flights and the hassles of driving one’s own vehicle. The coach service has been particularly well-received by business travelers, such as attorneys, accountants, lobbyists, and other service providers looking to bill their time and expertise in a quiet, comfortable, and productive environment. Leisure travelers love the luxurious, first-class travel experience at fares below the cost of commercial air travel.

Vonlane Announces Luxury Motor Coach Service between Dallas and Houston

Strong demand from business and leisure travelers prompts expansion to Interstate 45 route

DALLAS, Texas - March, 2015) — Travelers between Dallas and Houston will have a new transportation choice beginning April 20—luxury motor coach service complete with first class seats, ample workspace, Wi-Fi, a conference room and an on-board attendant offering premium cabin service.

Launched in May 2014 with routes between Dallas and Austin, Vonlane was founded to give travelers an alternative to the delays and hassles that often accompany short haul flights or self driving. The service has been particularly well-received by business travelers—professionals like attorneys, accountants, lobbyists and other service providers who bill their time and expertise.

For the new route between Dallas and Houston, Vonlane will initially offer two departures per day in each city. One-way fare that includes all amenities and service is $100. A limited-time $69 one-way fare will be available for travel from April 20 through May 31.

Vonlane will provide travelers non-stop service between Dallas and Houston in about the same time as a commercial airline flight between the two cities, factoring in airport parking, security lines, pre-board wait time, deplaning and entry into ground transportation.

"As soon as we launched last year, we started getting requests to add service to Houston," said Alex Danza, founder and President of Vonlane. "We're so pleased to give travelers the flexibility of productive, convenient and comfortable day trips between Dallas and Houston."

Vonlane offers a first class alternative to regional airline travel that is priced competitively with the lowest coach-class airline fares, half the price of the typical fare selected by business travelers and more cost effective than IRS reimbursement levels for personal vehicle mileage.

"We're helping people reclaim the hours that are typically wasted when flying or driving between Texas cities," said Danza. "Whether someone wants to be productive during their trip or simply relax, we've created the ideal environment and experience."

Vonlane motor coaches feature 16 premium seats, in addition to a 6-seat conference room that may be reserved during the booking process. Business travelers can collaborate in privacy in the Vonlane conference room that is outfitted with three flat panel monitors for laptop projection. Complimentary Wi-Fi, refreshments, noise cancelling headsets, a wireless printer and other amenities are available at no charge. For travelers taking a break from work, in-motion satellite television and radio are available. In addition to comfort features, each motor coach is equipped with state-of-the-art safety technology and an engine exceeding EPA standards for emissions and fuel economy.

Vonlane motor coaches will depart and arrive in Dallas at the Doubletree Hotel across from Love Field and in Houston at the Sheraton North Houston at George Bush Intercontinental. Rental car and other ground transportation options are available at the hotels, which will also offer discounted rates to Vonlane passengers. Vonlane customers will have the option to take advantage of hotel, rental car and chauffeured services offers at their time of booking in order to ensure a seamless door-to-door travel experience.

Vonlane will run from Dallas to Houston at 6 am and 2 pm, and Houston to Dallas at 10 am and 6 pm. At arrival and departure locations, travelers simply need to arrive five minutes before departure, confirm their online reservation with a photo ID, hand their car keys to a valet parking attendant, climb aboard the coach and settle into their reserved seat.

Vonlane expects to add a Houston-Austin route by the end of 2015.
