Tips To Help You Rent A Party Bus For Your Upcoming Event
A party bus is a great way to get from one point to another for a night of fun and entertainment and without having to worry about a designated driver. When you are considering renting a party bus, here are some good ideas, tips, and recommendations, to help you rent your next party bus.
Select the Right Bus
When you are ready to rent a party bus for your next outing, make sure you check with the rental company about their various size buses to find one that will accommodate all your guests. You should have a headcount for your event and know if you need a 15-passenger bus or a 24-passenger or larger bus. There are various sizes, depending on if you want a limousine or an event bus and each one comes with different accommodations.
Be sure you also get a price quote with a written contract so you are aware of all the bus' expenses and extra fees for the night. Many renters divide the cost between the guests to help pay for it, so be sure you have a clear understanding of its entire full cost.
Also, make sure you check out the bus in person before you sign for the rental. Some photos online may not give you the best picture of the bus, and unless you have rented from the company before and know the quality and capacity of the bus you are renting, be sure to check it out in person to make sure there are no misunderstandings in the bus rental.
Understand the Local Alcohol Laws
Each state has a different set of laws regarding alcohol and its consumption on a party bus. Be sure you check into your specific state's laws so you can still make all the right details in advance to have a safe and fun night on your party bus.
For example, some states won't allow the party bus to provide alcohol, but you can bring your own alcohol onto the bus. If this is the case, be prepared to bring your alcohol with you in a cooler, for example, to make the preparation and boarding of the bus easier.
As another example, if you are planning to bring some guests who are under the age of 21 on the bus and alcohol is going to be serviced on the ride, make sure you have an adult over the age of 25 who is a designated chaperone to make sure the underage guests don't drink alcohol and agree to be responsible for that. This will ensure all your guests will have a great time and everyone will abide by the local state laws. Talk to your party bus rental service agent to find out the local requirements for you to have a fun time while following the rules.
