Passengers can take Vonlane across Texas with arrival and departure points in the state’s biggest cities — Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Austin. Out-of-state travelers enjoy routes through Memphis, Nashville, and Atlanta.

“This is a tremendous moment for all of us here at the company,” said Alex Danza, founder & CEO of Vonlane. “Seeing Vonlane’s growth over the past 10 years has been a great personal joy and a testament to the hard work and dedication we see from our team members day in and day out to provide restful, hassle-free transportation for business and leisure travelers.”

Vonlane’s Impact

In its first 10 years of service, Vonlane has made astonishing achievements:

  • Total Rides: Over 115,000 trips

  • Miles Traveled: Over 25 million miles

  • Passengers Transported: Over 1.1 million passengers

  • Meals Served: Nearly 900,000 meals

  • Fuel Saved: Over 500,000 passenger vehicles

Seeking to provide travelers with a better option, Danza started Vonlane to bring something fresh and innovative to the motorcoach industry and a top-tier alternative to those enduring frequent short-haul travel.

Travelers in Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia now have access to a non-stop transportation choice in Vonlane — complete with Vonlane’s signature experience of 22 first-class leather seats; ample workspace; complimentary Wi-Fi; and an on-board attendant offering premium cabin service with snacks, meals, and beverages included. For comparison, a typical same-size motorcoach has 56 seats.

While air travelers experience constant delays and flight cancellations, Vonlane travelers arrive 15 minutes before departure, take their seats, and relax, according to the operation.
