If the time has come to book a sweet party bus for an upcoming special occasion, then you are going to have to figure out the best vehicle for the job. A party bus is a generic term covering vehicles of all shapes and sizes, so you will have quite a large inventory to choose from. The cool thing about party buses is that they are all custom made from standard sprinters, minibuses, coach buses and stretched cars & SUVs, so each one is a little bit different. You can typically expect wraparound seating, a dance floor area, dancing poles. custom disco lights, video screens and a mini bar, but you need to make sure to let your charter bus company know exactly what you need to make the event special so you get the perfect vehicle for the occasion. Also, just because it is called a “party bus”, it doesn’t mean that you have to listen to loud music, dance and get rowdy. A lot of party buses are actually quite fancy and just serve as a more fun way of getting to your destination.
Choosing the right bus
How many people are in your group?
The first step in choosing a party bus is to determine the number of people in your group. They range in size from roughly 10 people to 45 people depending on the vehicle type. Smaller vehicles like sprinters and stretched SUVs are used for smaller groups and custom built minibuses and coach buses are used for larger groups.
What is your budget?
Second, you need to determine your budget. Each party bus can range in price from around $100 per hour to $250+ and hour depending on the amenities included. Figure out what price you can afford and let your booking agent know so they can find the best options in your price range. When getting a quote, make sure to ask for the total price so there aren’t any hidden costs.
How long is the occasion?
Rentals have a 4 hour minimum and most people rent a party bus from 4 to 8 hours depending on the occasion. Remember to account for traffic as well as time for pickup and drop offs.
What amenities do you want?
Since each bus is custom-made, they all have a different set of features. Typically, the more amenities or unique features, the more expensive the price will be. While you can expect a dance floor, upgraded sound system, video screens, dancing pole, party lights and wraparound seating, you can ask for any specific requests that may be of interest.
