Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you’re planning to drink onboard your party bus rental:

Consult your reservation expert.

Per federal law, drinking alcohol is not allowed for passengers in most vehicles but is generally permitted for riders onboard private party bus rentals. Some state or local governments may have more specific rules but you can drink alcohol on party bus rentals in Atlanta.

However, some transportation providers may have their own rules or prohibit passengers from bringing their own alcohol on board. When you call to book your party bus, just let your rental expert know that you’d like to bring alcohol onboard during your trip. Your rental representative will make sure you’re paired with a transportation partner that allows passengers to bring their own alcohol.

Make sure everyone has a valid ID.

Depending on the type of trip, you may need to verify that all passengers onboard your party bus rental are old enough to drink. This is generally to ensure that transportation companies and your party bus driver are not held responsible for underage drinking. Be sure that everyone has a valid form of identification on hand just in case.

Bring water and snacks, too.

Staying hydrated and having something to eat can keep your night running smoothly. If you’re planning a bar crawl or long evening, be sure to bring water and substantial snacks onboard. Before you embark out for the evening, consider offering your driver some water and snacks—it would likely be much appreciated.

Be clean.

Leaving a mess on your party bus can come with a hefty cleaning fee. At the end of your trip, remove any trash and clean up behind your group. It’s also highly recommended that you avoid bringing glass on board your bus. Between drinking and dancing on a moving vehicle, it’s easy to drop and shatter glass. Instead, please use cans, plastic, or reusable non-glass containers. Also, keep in mind that a cleaning fee may be charged if anyone drinks too much and gets sick. Always drink responsibly and have a plan in the event someone parties a little too hard.

Please, be responsible.

Your driver is dedicated to keeping you safe on the road, so be sure you don’t distract them while driving. It’s important you have fun during your trip but try to limit rowdy behavior that may take your driver’s attention away from the road. To ensure your group stays as safe as possible, please drink responsibly at all times while on your bus and at your destination.

For the best night out, be sure you’re also safe when you’re off your party bus. Most party buses have entry stairs, which don’t tend to mix well with drinks, high heels, and the overwhelming urge to dance. Seriously, use the handrails while boarding and deboarding your bus.

Tip your driver.

Your party bus driver works hard and is likely working late hours to service your group. Tipping them isn’t required but it’s highly recommended you give your driver a tip to thank them for their work and long hours. A cash tip equal to at least 5% of the total cost of your trip would be appreciated by your driver.

Determining the Price of Your Atlanta Party Bus

While we do try to make the transportation rental process as easy as possible, there is one catch: there is no one, set price for party bus rentals in Atlanta (or anywhere, for that matter). For the rental plans we offer here at King Atlanta Party Bus, we offer customized services for every trip and rental, so no two trips are the same. This means that in order to know exactly how much your party bus will cost, we need to know all of your trip details in advance.

Upon request, we can throw in additional services and amenities based on availability—from tacking your driver’s gratuity onto your bus rental cost to providing a ride that offers bottle service and allows passengers to drink alcohol while the bus is in motion. Just let us know what your party-goers will want or need when you call to request a quote, and we’ll see what we can do to make it happen.

Factors that Determine Your Party Bus Cost

Like we said, no two party bus transportation plans are the same, so no two bus rentals will cost the same. But what exactly determines the price of an Atlanta party bus?

Here are a few of the most influential factors:

Type of Bus You Rent

While all the vans, limos, and motorcoaches in our network are great choices for your next get-together or trip, different types of party buses are better suited for different types of events and come at different costs. As a general rule of thumb, the larger a vehicle is and the more passengers it can seat, the more expensive it is to rent on average.

Destination—Both Starting and Ending

Where you start and end your party bus adventures is important for two reasons. For one thing, bus rental rates differ from city to city and region to region. Secondly, the total mileage your trip will put on the vehicle affects the overall cost of your rental plan and how your rate will be set—by the mile or by the hour. Generally, short-distance trips are charged by the hour, while long-distance trips are charged by the mile.

Total Rental Duration

The cost of your party bus rental will be affected by how long your trip is planned to last. Longer rental windows typically cost more than shorter trips, and weekend and nighttime trips cost more than weekday and daytime rentals. Depending on how long you need your bus, you may be charged by the hour or by the mile. (Remember that we have a 5-hour minimum rental time for the party buses in our network!)

Onboard Amenities

Here at King Atlanta Party Bus, we’re proud to say that we can source nearly any kind of party bus for nearly any occasion. Just keep in mind that some features do not come standard on all vehicles in our network, so ensuring that your bus has all the onboard amenities your group needs may mean an additional cost on your rental quote. Check out our available party bus rental options for a full rundown on each vehicle’s amenities.

Tips for Managing the Cost

At first blush, the cost of your party bus rental may seem like a high up-front cost. But if you and your party people are worried about the price, there are ways to help keep the cost of your travel expenses down.

Step one: book your ride as soon as possible—preferably 3 to 6 months prior to your event for not-so-busy seasons, and 6 to 9 months in advance if you need transportation for a major convention or festival or during the peak summer travel season.

Step two: consider asking your passengers to chip in. Depending on their group’s size and desired amenities, most folks find that the per-person cost of renting a party bus is roughly the same as booking multiple rideshares for everyone—without having to split up between destinations and with all the onboard comforts and reverie you won’t find on an Uber or Lyft!
