The hotel must have secure parking for the bus and be located near the group’s lodging. Most clients reserve a room in the same hotel or a nearby property to ensure convenience and compliance with federal hours-of-service regulations. If the driver’s hotel is not pre-paid, the driver will pay at check-in and the client will be billed afterward. For longer trips that require multiple drivers, each driver must have a separate room.
