Party bus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A party bus (also known as a Party Ride, limo bus, limousine bus or luxury bus) is a large motor vehicle designed to carry 10 or more people. Party buses are usually driven by chauffeurs.

Party buses offer seating capacities from 10 to 50 passengers. In most cases these are converted van or mini-bus chassis with some conversions done using urban coach or motor coach chassis. Amenities may include upgraded electrical systems, fast idle controller, AM/FM stereo with CD player, power/heated remote control mirrors, power door locks and windows, upgraded seats and fabric, stripper-poles, air actuated passenger entry door, video and audio systems, luggage partitions, back-up cameras, seat and fabric upgrades, smoke machines, laser lights, disco lights, strobe lights, on-board restroom, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) equipment and a large array of floor plans to suit varying transportation needs.

Party buses are primarily used for, although not limited to, weddings, proms and bachelor and bachelorette parties as well as round trips to casinos, nights on the town, personalized drop offs and pick ups at various bars and nightclubs, birthdays and city tours.

While some party buses are used for week long tours and events, most are used for day trips and events. Most party buses, however, operate as livery vehicles, providing more accessible competition to limousines and taxicabs.

[edit] Renting a Party Bus

Party buses rented by the day are usually charged a day rate. Party buses rented for longer than a day are usually charged a mileage rate. The driver's tip and any overnight sleeping arrangements are usually not included in the price. When renting a party bus be sure to ask many questions to fully understand all the costs and deposits. Also find out the policy if an accident or breakdown occurs.
