Our Heritage:

The Best Service for the Wright Price

Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1983 by Paul Best and Gene Wright, B & W Charters began with a singular focus: to provide exclusive, personalized, and top-quality motorcoach charter services. Over two generations of local ownership, we have grown from a single vehicle into a premier regional transport leader.

While our core service area covers Western Michigan and Northern Indiana, our flexibility allows us to travel wherever our clients need us. True to our founders' names and our enduring company motto, we remain dedicated to delivering.

"The Best Service for the Wright Charter."

Dedicated Professionals Driven by Safety

Our company is managed and staffed by conscientious professionals committed to service excellence. To guarantee the safest ride possible, our drivers undergo continuous training, including regular safety seminars and refresher courses with our safety director.

Performance is continually monitored through scheduled over-the-road ride checks to reinforce safe driving habits. Furthermore, in strict compliance with federal regulations, all operators are subject to non-suspicion-based random drug and alcohol testing.

Supported by experienced mechanics and a friendly office staff, we ensure total peace of mind on every journey.

A Growing Fleet Built on Personalized Attention

B & W Charters has evolved from a single-coach operation into a premier regional transportation network. Today, our expansive fleet ranges from highly efficient 14-passenger corporate vans to luxury 56-passenger wide-body motorcoaches, alongside specialized vintage-style event trolleys.

This diverse vehicle lineup allows us to scale our operations to meet changing client demands while maintaining the core founding principles established over two generations ago. No matter the size of the vehicle or the length of the journey, every trip receives the same personalized focus, meticulously managed logistics, and elite mechanical support that defines our company's legacy.
