What is your Breakdown Policy?
If a breakdown occurs, the TURNER driver is to call our maintenance personnel. They will talk them through the problem for minor repairs. If additional repairs are necessary, we’ll arrange for help from another company in that area to repair and/or take the group on to their destination. Once the motorcoach is repaired, we will meet up with the group and transport them as originally planned.

What is your Out of Service record?
TURNER: Coaches are only out for required inspections, services, and maintenance, or as repairs are needed.

What is your Accident history?
The few problems TURNER has experienced have been due to customers who do not heed the safety speech at the beginning of the trip.
