Three reasons to choose quality assurance travel, family-owned and operated..

Our owners run the business as if it were their own, because it is their own! That’s why every detail is handled with care and an eye toward giving you the most enjoyable bus travel experience possible.

Bus Owners,NOT Bus Brokers.

There are lots of bus brokers out there who do not own their buses and/or will subcontract your charter reservation. So you not only end up with a bus company that you may never have heard of, but you could be paying a huge mark-up on the cost of your bus trip.

Beat any reasonable quote.

Along with the service and the bus coaches themselves, we guarantee you and your group will pay the lowest bus charter rate around. Have you received a quote from a Bay Area bus charter company that seems low or even too good to be true? Send it to us and we will beat it. Guaranteed.

What are Customers are saying about us

Quality Assurance Travel is absolutely the BEST! On December 27, all of our Southwest tickets were canceled and I had to find a way to get my entire hockey team down to Riverside California from San Jose for two mandatory hockey games. So, I considered looking into a motorcoach. Our driver was so professional, so kind, and even watched both of our hockey games. The bus was as clean and as comfortable as I could've prayed for!! I would recommend this company to anyone looking to rent a motorcoach, or a bus for any reason whatsoever.

Quality Assurance Travel is always my go-to bus travel company in the San Jose area. They do an amazing job communicating and taking care of your large group travel needs. I work for a school and I know I can rely on them to safely take our students to and from field trips. Huge shout out to Elena & Javier Moreno! Elena is so helpful in booking and Javier is a very experienced driver who is also very accommodating! Thank you again to this team, I appreciate everything!

Used Quality assurance travel shuttle this past Friday for my daughter's wedding. Bus driver was very friendly. Shuttle was clean and the drive was very smooth. Pick from the fairmont hotel was on time and pick up from city hall was also on time to drive to the restaurant. The pick up from the restaurant back to the hotel was also on time. I highly recommend this company for any events. No worry about driving around SF and parking

We had our staff retreat in Oakland and part of the retreat were site visits to organizations we work with. We looked for transport options and Quality Assurance Travel provided us with a good rate and we were glad with the service they provided. Their travel representatives communicated well and there was no need for extra phone calls or emails given that there were different buses and pick-up times. QAT provided prompt and great service.

We went from Palo Alto to Spirit Rock for a morning retreat and back in the afternoon, a 2 hr drive in each way. Quality Assurance Travel offered us a good rate. The driver arrived on time and service was decent. Will use them again.

Kenny Dillingham keeping ASU football level after 3-0 start ahead of Big 12 play starting

Arizona State football is off to a 3-0 start , already matching its win total from last season, but coach Kenny Dillingham is keeping the team level-headed.

Dillingham walked in with a clear message from the first day on the job in November 2022 and has been working to achieve his dream of rebuilding the program he grew up watching. After a rough start to his tenure, the trajectory for ASU feels like it’s trending upward for the first time in a while.

Even three voters in this week’s Associated Press’s Top 25 poll thought highly enough to put the Sun Devils in. Still, Dillingham is doing his best to have the team stay grounded as ASU is set to play in its first Big 12 conference game this weekend on the road at Texas Tech .

“You get buy-in with success," Dillingham said on Monday. "It’s a lot easier than it is to continue to try to preach on the dream or what should happen if you work hard. The negative is the expectations. People get unrealistic expectations with success as part of being in the entertainment industry. You entertain, people get excited, excitement creates expectations, expectations create pressure. Then you lose your edge.”

Dillingham continued: “The key is, we’re the same team that we were before we played a game. We’re the same team we were in spring, in the fall. We’ve played a few games. That’s really about it. We’re the same team that needs to keep on getting better and better. The best opponents we’ve faced this year are in our future, not in our past. We have to get better every single week if we want to continue to have fun Saturdays.”

ASU is coming off a 31-28 win over Texas State last week in a game that tested the Sun Devils. 

With 5:16 left in the first half, ASU was trailing 21-7 before managing to tie the game heading into halftime.

Dillingham called the game “humbling.” 

Now, Big 12 conference play is here. Dillingham is leaning into the historic nature of the matchup.

“This is the first Big 12 game, this will go down literally in history,” Dillingham said. “There’s only one game that’s a first. Very few times do you get to accomplish a first. Like a real first. It’ll be remembered forever as Arizona State’s first Big 12 game.”

It’s also Dillingham’s first trip to Lubbock, and he’s looking forward to one of the rituals at Texas Tech: the tossing of tortillas. The origins of the tradition are still debated .

“I’m excited for the tortillas — I’ve heard there’s tortillas that get thrown around,” Dillingham said. “This is a challenge, but it’s what college football is supposed to be. We walk out underneath the band is where I’m told our entrance is. A college band on the road, it’s going to be loud. Their fans are die-hard fans. It’s going to be an unbelievable environment for our guys to play in, and that’s the exciting part about joining the Big 12, is the environments we play in.”

Off to a hot start: ASU football continues to rise in college football rankings after 3-0 start

Injury update

• Expected to return against Texas Tech are defensive end Prince Dorbah, linebacker Jordan Crook and offensive lineman Sean Na'a. 
• Defensive lineman Jacob Kongaika and running back DeCarlos Brooks are questionable. Running back Raleek Brown, who did play against Texas State, is questionable as well with his hamstring. Dillingham said Brown is not quite at 100% and his status remains fluid.
• Linebacker Tate Romney is still out with a broken arm.

Georgia will be without offensive guard Tate Ratledge moving forward. The offensive guard picked up knee an ankle injuries in Saturday’s 13-12 win over Kentucky, spending the second half in a walking boot and knee brace.

Rusty Mansell of DawgsHQ r eports that Ratledge will be out with a sprained MCL and sprained ankle. Mansell reports that Georgia is hoping to get Ratledge back for Georgia’s game against Florida on Nov. 2. Ratledge missed 14 games during the 2021 season with a foot injury.

Georgia inserted Micah Morris into Ratledge’s spot at right guard on Saturday, with Dylan Fairchild playing at left guard.

The Bulldogs could move Xavier Truss to guard as well if need be. He has been Georgia’s starting right tackle in the first three games this season but has experience at guard.

Georgia has rotated at the offensive tackle positions, with Earnest Greene starting at left tackle and Monroe Freeling playing both tackle spots.

Georgia does have an off week this coming week, but its schedule gets more difficult moving forward. Georgia goes on the road to play Alabama. The Crimson Tide beat Georgia 27-24 last season in the SEC championship game.

“We get to go to Bryant-Denny and many other places on the road this year,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “ So it’s going to be an adventure every time we go out on the road. I mean, it’s a tough schedule, guys. When we got it, I knew it. I mean, the first game I pointed at was Kentucky because everybody was talking about the other three on the road. I’m like, guys, we’re going to go to Kentucky on the road.”

The Bulldogs had a season-worst offensive performance on Saturday against Kentucky, scoring only 13 points and finishing with 262 total yards of offense. Quarterback Carson Beck threw for 160 yards on the night, the fewest he has ever had as a starter.

Smart has often called the Kentucky game Georgia’s most physical of the season. Georgia entered the game with a banged up defensive line and will now be without one of its top offensive linemen.

“We were really beat up coming into this game, specifically at one position, and it was a really tough week for us,” Smart said. “I’ve got a lot of respect for the guys that stepped up and played.”
