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.

Luckily, we’ve made that part easy: just give us a call! Our team is standing by 24/7 to provide free, personalized quotes for your specific party bus needs. Call 404-490-0582 today to receive a bus rental quote within minutes, with no obligation to book with us afterward.

 

What’s Included in Your Party Bus Rental Quote

When you receive a free quote from our team, you can rest easy that what you see is what you’ll pay—without the hassle of hidden fees. The cost of your bus rental quote covers the use of your requested party bus model, the services of a certified pro bus driver, and any expenses associated with tolls, insurance, and processing fees.

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!
