1 Superstars testimonial for First Travel Solutions

Outstanding service and great communication

We contacted First Travel Solutions via the Delegate Wrangles Facebook Group, and I had the pleasure to be in contact with David Gardner. We asked for a quote for one of our clients who is planning to travel to the UK in April 2022, and is in need of transportation services for approx. 40 passengers. David was a real gentleman in his answers, quick, professional and he provided us with all information we needed. I got the feeling we were heard and understood and taken care of in a very professional way. We will definitely book with First Travel Solutions for further bookings! Thanks so much David, for all your help and support!

FAQs answered by First Travel Solutions

Sustainability is a key concern for us, what can I do with transport in this respect?
A managed transport plan will encourage delegates to leave their cars at home and First Travel Solutions can work with you to sort out your transport requirements. We're able to provide electric buses in some areas for short, urban journeys and will offer more new technology vehicles as they become more widely available. We offer free emissions reporting for any work that we undertake.
How can you guarantee a quality service for my passengers?
We only work with the UK's leading coach and taxi companies, whom we extensively audit before agreeing to onboard them as a supplier. We maintain a regular audit process in line with our ISO accreditations which ensures that quality and safety standards are being maintained.
I'm trying to plan airport transfers, hotel shuttle services and it's all becoming a nightmare!
Don't panic - you may hate transport planning, but we love it! You can call us 'nerdy', but we do love our work. You just need to provide the top line requirements and we will do the rest, working our routes, vehicle and driver requirements, etc., to ensure that transport just happens as it should
What if my assigned coach company ceases trading and leaves me in the lurch?
The whole of the travel industry has endured a very testing time recently and many good firms have sadly ceased to exist. Coach companies are not exempt from this sad fact, but if an operator that FTS assigns for your work fails, we will find a replacement operator of similar high quality without imposing any surcharges.
I need UK ground transport to meet flights, but what if they're delayed?
Things like flight delays or other last-minute changes are managed by our team of Controllers who staff our 24/7 Control Centre. As a client you'll have a direct line to the team and they will manage any such amendments to the original plan.
