Renting a party bus is a fun way to take any celebration to a whole new level, whether it’s a birthday party, a prom or a wedding. If you’ve never hired a party bus before, it makes sense to learn more about the process so that you know what to expect. That way you’ll be ready when the big day arrives and you can get the most out of the party bus you’ve chosen. Use this guide to help you get started.
Party Bus Size
When you decide to book a party bus rental, you’ll find that there are a number of options to choose from when it comes to size. The number in your party ultimately determines which one you should opt for. The capacity is determined by the number of seats inside the bus as well as the safe number of people who can ride at one time. Once you know who will be riding on the bus with you, you can determine which one best suits your group’s needs.
Amenities on Board
A party bus usually comes outfitted with a variety of amenities that make it the ideal place to host a party on wheels. The specific amenities will vary from bus to bus, but you can usually expect there to be a television with DVD player, a sound system for music, video games, plush seating and a mini bar. Some party buses also have a dance floor, disco ball, lights, a smoke machine or a karaoke machine.
Rules and Regulations
When you hire a party bus, safety is a top priority. With a designated driver, you and your group can enjoy a night of drinking and partying while also being safe along the way. There are some rules and regulations that go along with riding in a party bus and being aware of them is important so that your night is safe and enjoyable. The bus cannot exceed its posted capacity and must operate following the laws in your state. Be sure the bus is insured in case of an accident or injury and follow the rules outlined by the driver when you get on board.
Drinking and Chaperones
One of the biggest concerns with a party bus is underage drinking. The chaperone on duty is required to check identification and liquor cannot be served to anyone under the legal drinking age of 21. If this happens, the driver is often required to return to the pickup point. If underage people will be a part of the group, it’s vital to choose a chaperone and ensure that all rules are being followed to prevent legal action, such as a fine or a ticket.
A party bus is ideal for many occasions, but it’s always nice to know what to expect. You can discuss your specific event, the group that will be on the party bus and the bus that you’ll be using with us before the big day so that everyone involved is prepared for a night of fun.
