How it works

From posting a trip to a signed contract — all in one place.

Every step of the charter booking process lives inside one platform — for both trip owners and operators.

01Trip Owner

Post a trip in under two minutes

Describe your route with pickup and drop-off stops, set your passenger count, and select the vehicle types you need — full coach, minibus, or a mix. Choose Standard Bidding to open a sealed bidding window, or Instant Quote to collect prices on demand. Your trip goes live to verified operators the moment you post.

Your bid is sealed — competitors cannot see it
02Bus Operators

Operators browse and submit sealed bids

Verified operators see only trips that match their fleet and service area. Each uses the built-in deadhead calculator to estimate true costs, then submits a quote broken down by vehicle type. All bids are completely sealed — no operator can see any competitor's price at any point before the window closes.

03Trip Owner

Window closes — all quotes revealed at once

The moment the bidding window closes, every quote is revealed simultaneously. Compare price per vehicle type, operator rating, fleet details, and profile side by side. Shortlist one or more operators to open a negotiation round, or accept a bid directly.

Platform advantages

Post a trip. Collect sealed bids. Sign the contract.

01

One post, multiple verified quotes — in hours, not days.

Trip owners never have to cold-call bus companies again. Post once, wait for bids to arrive.

02

Blind bidding means operators compete on merit, not on who called first.

Because no operator can see competitors' quotes, every bid reflects their true market price.

03

Free forever for trip organisers. No subscriptions, no catches.

Trip owners always post for free. No commissions are charged at any point — not now, not ever.

04

Every operator is screened for CVOR or DOT licensing and $5M liability insurance.

Before any company can submit a bid, MXBS verifies their provincial CVOR ID, DOT/FMCSA number, and current COI.
