Frequently Asked Questions
How does your service handle Snoqualmie Pass winter conditions?
Our cross-state service is specifically designed to handle Snoqualmie Pass travel in all conditions. We utilize AWD and 4WD vehicles equipped with appropriate tires for the season, and our chauffeurs receive specialized mountain driving training. We actively monitor pass conditions and WSDOT notifications, making strategic schedule adjustments when necessary to ensure safe travel.

Do you offer special rates for Central Washington University students?
Yes, we provide CWU student transportation packages designed with collegiate budgets in mind. These include group rates when multiple students travel together (which can make our service comparable to bus travel but with direct door-to-door convenience), term-based scheduling for regular commuters, and special rates for major academic breaks. We also coordinate with residence hall schedules and understand student luggage requirements. Simply mention your CWU affiliation when booking to learn about current student offers.
