Party buses have recently become a very popular cost effective method to have a fun time with a large amount of people. These days you can find party buses in every American city, from new York to LA, and you can even find party party buses in Kansas City. Most often this travel method keeps costs lower than having everyone drive individually to the event pr party location. A party bus is basically a "party on wheels" that provides fun and safe transportation for the whole party. Party buses started in Europe as a safe way to travel from pub to pub and in recent years has become very popular in the United States.

When someone is looking to go party with a large group of people, whether it birthday, graduation, prom, bachelor / bachelorette party or any sort of celebration a Party Bus is a great option that many people these days are now choosing. A party bus many times is a modified school bus. These buses provide a safe drive in a fun atmosphere, the party bus will pick you up at your choice of locations and drive you to your choice of destinations. Party buses typically hold 25 to 50 passengers. Typically the party bus will have such features that include limo style seating, stripper poles, laser lights, IPOD hookup / CD Player / FM powered by a very powerful amp that creates quite a bit of bass. Many times the party buses are pretty wild colors such as blue, orange, green, red, etc...

People use party buses for many types of occasions, from weekend trips and holiday tours tour to sporting and concert events. Party buses enable all member of the party to relax in a large space, much larger than limos, taxis or other types of rental transportation services. Party buses are also used for events like weddings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and quite often just for a night out on the town to various bars and night clubs with friends or co-workers.

People looking to book a party bus should generally book about two to three weeks out before their event, busier seasons such as prom and homecoming they should book further out. Rates generally run anywhere from $125 to $175 an hour with a four hour minimum depending on what day the guest and time of year the party is. Drinking on the bus is many times acceptable, although alcohol is not provided by the Party bus company the guests can bring their drinks on the bus. Taking a Party Bus with a group can actually be cheaper when considering gas, parking, guests don't have to worry about getting a costly DUI, parking tickets, being towed and many times the party bus companies have connections with local bars for free entry. Drivers on these buses should have a Class B and Passenger endorsement.

Do your homework when researching a party bus company in your city. For example, if you are in Kansas City, try doing a Google search for "Kansas City party bus" and look on the first page for good companies. Generally speaking the style of the site will reflect the quality and cleanliness of the buses.

The party decides where the bus travels to for the set amount of hours, being able to make as many or few stops as they choose to which is told to the driver when the guests arrive on the bus. Some hidden costs that guests should ask is there an additional gratuity charge, excess fuel, clean up, along with who pays for parking and / or tolls. Guests should also ask about the deposit as generally a 30% to 50% deposit is paid when someone books, guests should ask if any of this is refundable if you decide to cancel or reschedule.

When considering party bus rental, be sure to ask the party bus rental company about discounts. For example, savvy party bus companies will often provide a discount when six or more hours are booked for a single night. Remember, you do not need to worry about drinking and driving, let the party bus company do all the driving for you and get your entire party home safe and sound without any worries for the night of getting a DUI. Party buses provide a nightclub atmosphere on wheels and have a blast doing it.
