From hobby to Charter Bus Business.
2019 - 2022 Just a hobby.
In 2019 We were asked to drive a rental mini bus for a local sports club.
One club turned into three, Bucks Weekends and Birthday runs started coming in thick in fast.
The idea for an affordable and flexible Charter Bus business Offering Private Charters to Group Charters was born, It then went from being a hobby to building a Business from scratch.
2020 - 2022 Covid and Start up.
We all know what happened in 2020, In January 2021 We bought Our first bus which was a 1989 Volvo B10M with PMC Metro 90 Body We affectionately named "Vinnie the Volvo".
In September 2022 after obtaining Our Accreditation We started the business and officially started trading.
September 2022 - March 2024.
In March 2024 after 18 months in service with Us, Vinnie the Volvo suffered a mechanical failure which meant he needed a $40,000+ engine rebuild. At the time Vinnie was 35 years old with 1.7 million kilometres under his belt.
"Vinnie the Volvo" was donated to the Port Macquarie SES for a valuable Training day, Involving the SES from all over the Mid North Coast.
May 2024
In May 2024 We purchased a replacement bus, Affectionately named "Vivian the Volvo". She is a 1993 Volvo B10M with Volgren Body and was new to Grenda's in Melbourne in 1993, Moved to Transdev in Sydney in 2011. Retired by Transdev in July 2023 where We purchased her in May 2024, We drove her from Bankstown to Port Macquarie totaling around 400km without issue even after she had sat for 10 months. As a tribute to Vinnie We transferred Vinnie's "TV256A" Number plates onto Vivian.
