We also have one of the best records in the country for safety, our fleet is absolutely top notch, and our paid driver training program is second to none.

Summer trips in the Great Lakes region can be incredible, but the fun doesn’t stop at Labor Day. If your group is looking for fun on and after the holiday, why not begin at the 61^st Annual Mackinac Bridge Walk? After that there’s plenty more to do and see in the area!
