Baggage limits: two (2) bags and one (1) carry-on for a full-fare ticket, and one (1) bag and one (1) carry-on for a half-fare (child fare) ticket. For any excess baggage, there will be a charge of $5 per bag. See Ticket Agent for excess baggage ticket.
Baggage will not be checked on Dartmouth Coach and is limited as noted in our system timetable. Dartmouth Coach is not responsible for damage or loss of luggage on our lines – delivered to our employee for transport in our baggage compartment – in an amount exceeding $250 per Adult Fare Ticket or $125 per Half-Fare ticket. All bags are subject to random search. In selling the ticket the selling carrier acts only as an agent and is not responsible beyond its own line and does not assume expense, of transfer at any junction point, loss/damage of luggage, or guarantee any connection. Seating aboard vehicles, operated in interstate or foreign commerce, is without regard to race, color, creed, or national origin.
Heavy luggage: Effective June 2004, Dartmouth Coach drivers and terminal personnel are not required to handle luggage weighing in excess of 50 lbs. Each piece weighing more than 50 lbs. will be tagged “HEAVY” alerting drivers and baggage handlers NOT to handle the luggage. Passengers traveling with baggage over 50 lbs. must handle their own luggage. Notices regarding this new policy are posted at each major bus terminal. Scales are available at each bus terminal so you will know before boarding the bus if your baggage is too heavy. If you believe that your luggage is too heavy or if you are unable to carry your heavy luggage, it is suggested that you carry multiple pieces not exceeding the number of baggage allowed per ticket. The baggage allowance is as follows: two (2) bags and one (1) carry-on for a full-fare ticket, and one (1) bag and one (1) carry-on for a half-fare ticket. For any excess baggage, there will be a charge of $5 per bag. Additional luggage will be loaded as space allows and is subject to freight charges. If you arrive at the terminal and your bag is too heavy and you are unable to carry your own luggage, it is up to the driver and baggage handlers as to whether they will be able to load and unload your luggage in a safe, injury-free manner.
Please note: luggage cannot be left unattended or in the care of a Dartmouth Coach employee at any terminal or agency for safety and security reasons. If you are making connections to Greyhound, they have different baggage handling procedures. Call Greyhound at 1-800-231-2222 for more information.
