Why "Preferred" Matters Here
Some trips ask more of a transportation provider than others
A wedding shuttle needs to be on time. A church trip often needs something more — a driver who understands that a funeral procession isn't just another route, that a youth mission trip carries real responsibility, that a congregation heading to a conference wants to arrive settled, not stressed. GTS has become a preferred choice for churches across Michigan not because we do anything flashy, but because we treat those distinctions seriously, trip after trip.

- Punctual, respectful drivers who understand the nature of the occasion
- Consistent service congregations can rely on year after year

International Missions
Crossing the border for mission work
For congregations planning mission trips into Canada, a few extra details matter — GTS has handled this logistics many times over.
Documentation for youth mission groups
Every traveler needs a valid passport, passport card, or Enhanced Driver's License to cross into Canada. Minors traveling without both parents — common on youth mission trips — may need a signed consent letter. Confirm current requirements well ahead of departure.
We've done this before
GTS regularly supports cross-border mission trips and can help walk your group through what to prepare well in advance.
