Reservations
Do I need a reservation? Will I have a seat?
No reservations are necessary when you travel with Hoosier Ride. If you know the departure schedule, simply arrive at the terminal at least an hour before departure to purchase your ticket. Boarding generally begins 15 to 30 minutes before departure. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Advance purchase tickets do not guarantee a seat.
When Hoosier Ride / Miller Transportation fills a regularly scheduled bus with passengers during times of peak demand, Hoosier Ride / Miller Transportation plans for additional buses to accommodate passengers beyond the seating capacity of a single bus for any given schedule. However, our ability to add extra sections depends on the availability of buses, drivers and the number of passengers.
When picking up passengers en route (such as at a rest stop), continuing passengers who de-boarded at the rest stop are given priority to re-board.
Hoosier Ride / Miller Transportation buses travel around the clock, so you can travel by day and enjoy the scenery through wide panoramic windows. Or, select a night service, and relax in a reclining seat with reduced interior lighting. Most buses make intermediate stops to pick up additional passengers en route to their destinations. In addition to stops en route, buses make rest stops every few hours, and meal stops are scheduled as close to normal meal times as possible. If you prefer not to travel on a bus that includes multiple stops en route, be sure to ask your ticket agent about our express schedules, which are available on select routes.
Buses
What type of bus will I ride?
Our buses are equipped with air conditioning, an on-board restroom, reclining seats with headrests, footrests and tinted windows. Feel free to bring reading material, radio headsets and a small pillow for your comfort. Food and non-alcoholic beverages may be carried on board for personal consumption.
In many cases Miller Transportation uses buses from its existing fleet to provide service for locations served by Hoosier Ride service. In some cases smaller, mid-sized buses are used to provide this service. These buses may not be lavatory-equipped, but drivers will stop on request to make rest stops as needed.
External power outlets are available on many Hoosier Ride / Miller Transportation buses. Our buses are not equipped for movies on board, although some connecting carriers may offer this service.

International Travel
Here are the answers to some general questions about travel to Canada and Mexico that we are most frequently asked.
Travel to Canada or Mexico
What type of ID is required if I plan to travel to Canada or Mexico?
A valid U.S. passport AND photo identification are required to enter Canada or Mexico. A valid passport or alien registration card is required for non-U.S. citizens traveling into Canada or Mexico. Proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, is also required for all children traveling. A guardian traveling with children must provide proof of custody or notarized parental authorization for travel.
Entry to United States from Canada or Mexico
Effective June 1, 2009 All U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry are required to have documents that comply with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), most commonly a U.S. passport, a passport card, a trusted traveler card such as NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST, or an enhanced driver’s license. See the complete list of WHTI-compliant documents.
Customers who are 15 years of age or under will only require proof of citizenship (birth certificate, naturalization certificate or citizenship card). Customers who are 18 years of age or under and are traveling with a school, religious group, sports team or other organized group, under adult supervision and with parental/guardian consent, will require proof of citizenship (birth certificate, naturalization certificate or citizenship card).
Passengers without proper Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) compliant travel documents will not be permitted to board the bus, as you will be denied entry into the United States. Transportation will not be provided back to the trip of origin.
Visit the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Web site for more details on requirements for leaving or entering the U.S.
Baggage is subject to inspection when crossing either border. You will be asked to declare any items subject to duty upon crossing the border. Miller Transportation is not responsible for any baggage crossing the border into Canada or Mexico. Passengers must claim all baggage at the border crossing point before proceeding. No baggage is allowed across the border unless claimed by a passenger.
Passengers denied entry into Canada or Mexico must purchase another ticket to return to their origin location.
Refunds & Exchanges
To submit your request for a refund, please contact us in writing. Following are frequently asked questions about our refund policy.
Are Miller Transportation tickets refundable?
A. Not all tickets are refundable. It really depends on the type of ticket that was purchased. In almost all cases there is a refundable and non-refundable fare available for the same trip. Non-refundable fares have no refund value, but can be exchanged for another ticket for the exact same trip on a later date. Refundable fares are subject to a 20% cancellation fee but can be refunded.
I have a partially used ticket. How do I receive a refund?
A “partially used ticket” means you purchased a ticket and did not complete the trip prior to the final destination. Partially used one-way tickets are not refundable. Partially used round trip-tickets may be submitted for refund when either the going or return portion is completely unused. Refund will be based on the fare paid minus the one-way fare, and minus the 20% cancellation fee on the remaining ticket value. If both the going and return portions are partially used the ticket has no refund value. Non-refundable tickets have no refund value.
The bus was late. Am I entitled to a refund?
No. Miller Transportation is not liable for the expense of connecting bus service missed as a result of a delay. However, you may wish to contact the connecting bus line for their specific refund procedures.
The bus was late and I missed a connection on another bus line. Am I entitled to a refund of the other ticket?
No. While Miller Transportation makes every effort to provide on-time service, it does not guarantee its departure and arrival times, which may be affected by any number of factors including weather, traffic, or mechanical problems. Miller Transportation is not liable for any inconvenience or expense caused as a result of such a delay.
The bus was late and I missed a connecting flight. Am I entitled to a refund of the cost of my plane ticket?
No. Miller Transportation is not liable for any other travel expense caused as a result of a delay.
Can I get a refund at the terminal?
Yes. For refundable tickets, the original purchaser may obtain a refund at the location in which the ticket was purchased, within 1 year of date of purchase.
I lost my ticket. How do I receive a refund?
Miller Transportation is not liable for lost, stolen, or destroyed tickets.
I just learned of a lower fare available, but I already bought the ticket at a higher price. How do I receive a refund?
Fares are subject to change at any time without notification. Any refundable fare ticket can be refunded minus the cancellation fee.
I qualify for a senior discount, but I already bought the ticket at a higher price. How do I receive a refund?
You must ask for the discount at the time of sale. Miller Transportation cannot provide refunds for discounts once the sale is complete.
I haven’t used my ticket. Can I get a refund?
All unrestricted one-way and round trip tickets are good for travel and/or refund for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Tickets held after this time period will be considered null and void and will retain no value for travel and/or refund. Certain advance purchase and/or other reduced fare tickets may carry a time limit or refund period less than the amount noted above.
Can I exchange my ticket for a different travel date or time?
Yes, however, a fee may apply if the ticket is not a refundable walk-up fare. If the ticket is non-refundable or advance purchase ticket, departure date and time may be changed for a $15 fee per ticket provided the following conditions are met:

QUESTION NOT LISTED
“Print at Home” tickets are acceptable for only the date and schedule selected during the purchase process. While the ticket is schedule specific, it may be used for any schedule on the correct date for the origin and destination purchased. If you purchased a “Print at Home” ticket that is refundable, then any refund or exchange must take place on or before the stated date of travel. Once the date of travel has passed the ticket no longer has any refund or reissue value. As with other refundable tickets, a cancellation penalty will apply.
(2) QUESTION NOT LISTED
Departure date and time for a refundable ticket may be changed without charge provided the ticket is presented on or before the stated date of departure, the maximum limit of 1 year is not exceeded, advance purchase and holiday blackout restrictions are not violated.

Be sure that all checked bags have a claim check AND an identification tag. You must get both of these at the ticket counter prior to boarding. Please make sure your bags are properly tagged inside and out.
Take your baggage to the bus and give it to the baggage handler who will load the baggage underneath the bus. You are in charge of picking up your bags next to the bus at each transfer location and taking them to your connecting bus.
