Policies
 

All Morgan Coach and Tours LLC Tours are taken in a modern, air-conditioned, lavatory equipped motor coach. Each Morgan Coach and Tours coach operator has been professionally trained to Morgan Coach and Tours’ standards, and has met the Department of Transportation requirements for certification.

SAFETY

Morgan Coach and Tours’ safety program is among the most stringent in the industry. Mechanical inspections are routinely carried out, a preventative maintenance program is closely followed and mechanical repairs are promptly and thoroughly accomplished.

Even with our strict maintenance program, problems occur. We regret the inconvenience these may cause and assure you that our coach operators are trained to take care of problems as efficiently as time and resources allow.



RESERVATIONS AND DEPOSITS

If we do not have enough confirmed reservations and deposits by this time, we must consider canceling the trip. This is an extremely difficult decision for us to make knowing it will inconvenience our clients.
