Renting a Party Bus in Scottsdale, Arizona
You need a way to get all your rowdy friends to the office party or the game, but you don’t know the best way. Ever thought about renting a Party Bus?
Let’s face it not everyone knows how to drink and drive safely. Sometimes fans just have too many beers and get a bit carried away. (Remember the last time the crew tried to go out?) Since the last shindig for the office crew had so many problems, the boss has designated you to be in charge. This moment is your chance to shine by making sure everyone has a great time, enjoys the festivities, and stays safe. But where to start? A party bus rental from Scottsdale Sedan and Limousine might be the answer.
A Party Bus is a luxury rented vehicle designed for transporting people to and from destinations. This type of vehicle includes more lavish amenities than a typical limousine or charter bus. Amenities can include alcohol and food, a dance floor, a premium sound system, HD Television, and other items designed to enhance the experience.
Many people have questions about what constitutes a Party Bus and how expensive they are to rent. The truth is they can be a fantastic way of helping your people be able to celebrate as freely as they want and then getting everyone to and from the destination safely. So, whether it is a trip to Vegas to watch the Cardinals demolish the Raiders on MNF, a trip to LA, or even just a night at Binkley’s to celebrate the team blowing last quarter's numbers, a party bus can be just the ticket.
What Constitutes a Party Bus?
Party buses come in various shapes and sizes. They can vary from stretch limos to Mercedes vans and Executive Coaches that are the size of a greyhound bus. The amenities offered set this type of bus apart from a standard charter.
A party stretch limousine holds 8-15 people, Mercedes Sprinter Party Vans can hold 12 – 40, while an Executive coach might transport more, usually up to 56 people.
What Exactly Happens on a Party Bus?
A party bus has the purpose of providing entertainment and distraction during the trip. Most have ultra-lavish bars, electronic gaming, television sets, mood lighting, and dance poles. The concept is for your guests to begin the party even as they step into the coach by stepping into a whole new world.
You cannot do some things on a party bus, so it is best to know the legal restrictions. For example, while smoking marijuana in the comfort of your home is legal in Arizona, lighting up a joint in public is not. (That means that rental companies will insist that you keep your weed in your pockets). A limousine consultant can advise you of examples of other unlawful activities that are not allowed.
What Are Some Considerations I Need to Have?
There are many things to think about when beginning the process of renting a party bus. Let’s explore a few of them.
The Size of the Group
The number of people to be transported will make a difference in the size of the bus you need. You want to provide a bus where everyone has room but provides enough seating and seatbelts for safety. A limousine service like Phoenix Sedan and Limo can provide you with the specs and make recommendations.
Is Alcohol Being Served?
This question is an important consideration, mainly if there are minors who will be traveling with you. You do not want to break the law or have a curious teenager imbibe a beer and then answer to someone later. (Most limo services have restrictions on alcohol use when minors are present). It is always best to set guidelines from the very first planning stages.
The Distance Being Traveled
Limo companies will base their rates on the miles they transport and the number of people they carry to and from a destination. Expect to pay more; the farther you go, the more time you use, and the more people you carry. Most limo companies have a 4-6 hour minimum fee, so plan on making the most of the party bus when you rent it. There are additional fees for amenities (usually from $100 - $300), so you want to ensure that you are preplanning the event. That way, you know the exact charges you may have to pay.
Night Rentals Cost More
If you plan an all-night trip for a party bus, expect the fee to increase since the driver is spending more time with you and may even have to find accommodations for the evening.
The Purpose of the Event
If the event's primary purpose is to transport the family to a wedding reception, this event might mean a more relaxed environment than a wild girl’s night out, complete with a stripper pole. (Let’s not give great-grandma a heart attack). A party bus to a Prom has a different purpose than a means of transport to a business convention, so plan accordingly. Be sure to share with your rental service consultant precisely the mood you wish to create because not all-party buses are created equal or give off the same vibe.
Do Party Buses Have Toilets?
There is no need for a delay when everything is perfect on board. Yes. There are restrooms on most party buses.
Is A Party Bus Safe?
While most party buses are not required to have safety belts, thousands of trips with party buses happen every day without incident. All drivers are trained and have special licenses to operate these vehicles. Most rental companies have additional training to help ensure obedience to all traffic laws and guidelines.
What Should I Tip the Driver?
The rental company pays drivers to transport you and your group. However, it is customary to tip the driver if you are pleased with their performance. A 20% tip is considered the norm.
Will the Limo Service Charge me a Clean-up Fee?
Consider a limo service rental like a standard car rental only with a driver. If a party member has too much to drink and vomits inside the car, or if the party leaves excessive debris in the car, the company will charge a fee. The penalties for lousy behavior vary, so be aware of the costs before you book.
How Do I Book a Limousine or Bus for an Event?
Call the limo service directly. An excellent place to start is Arizona Charter Service. Discuss your plans with a consultant and let them do the rest. (If you’re not sure where to take your group, the staff can offer many recommendations). Before long, your staff will be riding in luxury.
Whether you need to bring your daughter and all her friends to their first prom in style, or you need to head to a Diamondbacks game, a limousine service is an answer. With a little bit of preplanning and the right limo service, the night can be a great one that builds lasting memories. Arizona Sedan and Limo can provide options for you and help make sure the event goes off without a hitch so that you can be the office hero.
