Coach Bus

- Capacity: 20–56 passengers
- Luggage: handles gifts, bags, and supplies
Party Bus

- Vibe: celebratory, high-energy, fun
- Capacity: 16–45 passengers

Our Recommendation
Book BOTH. Use a coach bus for guest shuttles between the hotel and venue. Use a party bus for the wedding party to celebrate between the ceremony, photos, and reception.

Common questions about events rentals, pricing, and planning.
What types of events do you provide transportation for?
We cover 50+ event types including weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, proms, corporate events, bar crawls, concerts, sporting events, birthday parties, wine tours, casino trips, and more.
How do I choose the right vehicle for my event?
Consider your group size, event style, and budget. Party buses are great for celebrations. Limos are ideal for formal occasions. Coach buses handle large groups and long distances. Our Group Size Vehicle Matcher tool can help narrow it down.
Can you handle last-minute event bookings?
We can often accommodate bookings with as little as 48–72 hours notice, depending on your market and vehicle availability. Peak season and weekends book up faster, so earlier is always better.
Do you offer multi-day event packages?
Yes. Multi-day events like destination weddings, corporate retreats, and tournament travel are common. We offer competitive multi-day rates. Call (844) 725-4257 to discuss your specific schedule.
What is included in every event booking?
Every quote includes the vehicle, professional driver, fuel, and standard gratuity. We also provide direct communication with your driver, a written vehicle guarantee, and 24/7 support before and during your event.
Can the vehicle make multiple stops during my event?
Absolutely. Multi-stop itineraries are one of our specialties. Bar crawls, progressive dinners, wine tours, and events with ceremony/reception at different locations are all handled seamlessly.
How do I coordinate transportation with my event timeline?
Share your event timeline with us when you book. We will build a transportation schedule around your key moments — arrivals, departures, photo stops, venue changes — with buffer time built in.
Do you serve events in rural or smaller cities?
Yes. Our affiliate network covers 850+ cities across 48 states, including many smaller markets. Submit a quote request or call (844) 725-4257 to check availability in your area.
