Why is professional driver qualification important?

[Fonelitha]

I recently started thinking about how important driver qualifications are when booking transport for long trips. We once went on a tour to another city, and the driver didn’t seem very experienced — took sharp turns, drove a bit nervously. Not the best feeling, especially on a long journey. Now I think next time, I’ll check if the driver has the right qualifications. What do you think — anything else to look out for?

I’ve dealt with this too, and since then, I always go with reputable companies. We once booked a van with driver in Italy — their drivers are experienced, which is reassuring, especially when traveling with family or friends. A qualified driver makes a big difference in safety and comfort, and it definitely keeps everyone’s nerves in check. Now I make sure to ask about experience and sometimes even read reviews before booking.

Interesting topic. I haven’t personally traveled on rented buses like these, but I’ve heard that minibuses are often chosen for city trips, while standard buses are better for longer transfers. I think it depends on the route and how important it is to move quickly.
