Reservations
Call 708.474.7474 or 773.508.2399 to make bus reservations as far in advance as possible.
Prepare VRF (Loyola University Chicago Bus Request). VRF is needed in advance to schedule drivers and plan routes. An itinerary is required for all overnight trips (one month in advance) or trips with multiple stops.
Multiple buses for a single trip may be requested on a single Form.
Van vs. Bus
When the number of passengers traveling makes it necessary to consider a second or third vehicle, seriously consider using a bus. Caravans can be stressful and dangerous. The convenience and peace of mind of having a professional driver can make an otherwise stressful trip, a great success. Road coaches have a VCR/TV for training and teaching while traveling.
Notify Bus Service with any changes regarding the scheduled trip, or to confirm reservations.
Cancellations
Notification of trip cancellations must be phoned in at least 72 hours prior to the planned departure, and should be confirmed in writing by faxing to 773.508.2140. Late cancellations may result in charges.
