Frequently asked questions

Is it free to request quotes?

Yes. Requesting and comparing quotes costs customers nothing and there's no account to create. Operators pay us for the leads they receive, and we never mark up the prices they quote you.

How accurate is the instant estimate?

It's a realistic range built from distance, driver hours, the vehicle type and the season, but it isn't a quote. The binding price always comes from the operator, and it can land outside the range for unusual itineraries, last-minute trips or special requests.

How quickly will operators reply?

Most requests get their first real quote within 24 hours of you confirming your email. If an operator passes or doesn't answer in time, your request moves to the next one that fits, so you still get up to three quotes to compare.

Who actually runs my trip?

The operator you book with. Bison Charter is a marketplace, not a carrier: we don't own buses or employ drivers. The operator is responsible for the vehicle, driver, permits, insurance and the trip itself.

How are operators vetted?

Before approval we confirm the business and a contact person by phone, check passenger-carrier operating authority, record the commercial liability insurance and its expiry date, and check the fleet matches what's listed. We repeat the check every year.

Can you handle trips to the United States?

Yes. Requests to Fargo, Grand Forks, Minneapolis and elsewhere are flagged as cross-border and only go to operators with the authority to cross. Every passenger needs a valid passport or other WHTI-compliant document.
