Other Information:

  • Lamers will charge $150 cancellation fee for any trip cancelled within 72 hours of departure time. Exceptions would be for weather related cancellations. Weather is considered to be when it is unsafe to travel. If the charter is canceled enroute, the cancellation fee will include the miles and/or hours used.
  • Lamers maintains eight ADA equipped motor coaches. There is not an extra fee, but you would be charged based on a 56 passenger bus, as that is the only size available.
  • Overnight charge of $40 per night providing UWGB is responsible for the driver room. Hourly charges continue over night.
  • Lamers provides only the Deluxe motor coach sizes for 24-36 passenger. NO additional charge for WiFi.
  • Tolls, parking, airport fees and ferry charges are billed at actual cost. Any charter over 500 miles in one day, could have a relief driver fee added to the cost. Lamers reserves the right to add additional drivers and expense to stay within the DOT regulations.
  • This contract can only be used by the Green Bay campus. Marinette, Manitowoc and Sheboygan campuses can contact Purchasing for help with busing needs.
