P a g e | Mt Gravatt Coach & Travel Senior Adventures Brochure P a g e | 2 Our Story Mt Gravatt Coach & Travel has a proud, untarnished record of over 40 years of experience ensuring that our guests reach their destinations, safely and on time, and return home with everlasting memories of their adventures. Travel planning can turn into a nightmare if you’re not used to doing this kind of planning which is where we come in! We specialise in senior adventures and bespoke trips handcrafted with you and your travel group in mind. We are here to help you make the most of your experience and add value to every single trip you take with us. It has always been our objective to provide reliable transportation services at a reasonable cost. Our staff treat each passenger with the same consideration and care they would give to their loved ones. We have always acted on the principle that we would rather lose money than the confidence of our customers. We love what we do and always strive to provide the best service, value, and experience for all our guests onboard. Occasionally breakdowns and flat tyres do happen, but our drivers will swing into action to get your trip back on the road as soon as possible. Our drivers’ local road knowledge to find the best routes will ensure your safe and timely arrival. We handpick our coach drivers for their safe driving experience and their pleasant, helpful attitude to ensure a happy and memorable trip for you and your travel group. Our drivers are patient, friendly, and always willing go that extra mile to assist you and your guests. They don’t just “drive and drop off”. From the cheery “G’day!” at the door, they take an interest in you and your group, and will point out landmarks and give you expert commentary from start to finish. When you travel with us you’re not just a customer, you’re part of our family. P a g e | 3 Our Fleet Our fleet of buses and coaches are our family and that’s why each of them have been christened with their very own name, and some interesting stories to match! Our coaches can carry from 12 passengers in Tiny to 61 seated passengers with our own version of royalty, Sir Terry, providing extra seating space for a truly relaxing ride. We offer air-conditioned coaches with on-board entertainment available, and all our vehicles are fitted with communication equipment to ensure a seamless trip. We also have a fleet of low floor buses that can be used for short local trips and have wheelchair access available. Our Pricing We know that one size doesn’t fit all and each charter is different. Want a little more space on the seat or only need our small 12 person coach? We tailor-make our quotes and price up the best option to suit your needs. Our pricing is all inclusive of coach hire, lunch, and activities unless otherwise stated. Please note costs are calculated based on a minimum of 30 customers and a maximum of 50, and may fluctuate slightly dependent on numbers, pick up location, and meal choice. We can also quote for coach and driver only, if you have somewhere organised to go. We can provide morning tea facilities including tea, coffee and snacks for a small additional cost of $2.00 per person.
