Florida service area
In Fort Lauderdale, FL we put groups on party buses, stretch limos, Sprinters, shuttles and coach buses. Most pickups start around Las Olas Boulevard and Downtown/Flagler Village, heading for Broward Center for the Performing Arts and NSU Art Museum or out to FLL. Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and Tortuga Music Festival fill the calendar fast, so book those early. Give us the date and the route and we will tell you which bus fits and what it costs — one number, in writing, before you pay anything.

Local planning
Starting points. Fort Lauderdale requests most often begin in Las Olas Boulevard, Downtown/Flagler Village, Wilton Manors and Victoria Park. Send the exact address, including which side of the street. That is what sets the drive time we quote you.
Common destinations. Destinations named for Fort Lauderdale include Broward Center for the Performing Arts, NSU Art Museum, Las Olas Oceanside Park, Huizenga Plaza and Revolution Live. Each one loads differently. Ask the venue where a bus can wait, and agree a meeting corner in case the curb is taken when you come out.
Book these early. Local calendars around Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Tortuga Music Festival, Las Olas Art Fair and Winterfest Boat Parade concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Check the current schedule with the organiser — this is not a live calendar.
Popular runs. Las Olas Boulevard bar crawl; Himmarshee Village nightlife loop; FLL to Miami Beach/South Beach; Port Everglades cruise terminal shuttle. Send your version with every stop in order and an honest end time, and the quote will cover the whole block.
Airport groups. Fort Lauderdale trips connect to FLL. Provide flight numbers, terminal, bag counts, and one group contact; the driver meets at the commercial-vehicle zone, which is usually not the passenger curb.
Beyond Fort Lauderdale. Trips that continue into Boca Raton, Bonita Springs, Boynton Beach or Brandon are quoted as one itinerary. The Florida guide covers statewide staging and long-distance planning.
For a Fort Lauderdale night out anchored on Las Olas Boulevard bar crawl and Himmarshee Village nightlife loop, fix the stop order and the last pickup time before requesting a quote, and name one group contact for the driver. Curb space is not guaranteed at busy venues, so agree on a pickup corner a short walk away, and check each venue's group entry policy so a bus full of people is not turned away at the door.
Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and Tortuga Music Festival and other Fort Lauderdale events come with street closures and organizer transportation notices; read them before locking a route. Choose a meeting point outside the heaviest foot traffic, set a firm departure deadline for the group, and expect traffic to compress well before the published start time.
Las Olas Oceanside Park and FLL to Miami Beach/South Beach may not have large-vehicle access at every entrance, so confirm the usable gate, turnaround space, and closing time before the trip. Count coolers, gear, and extra luggage in the request, and keep a weather alternative ready; outdoor itineraries are the ones most likely to change on the day.
Vehicle fit
Pick by confirmed headcount, then by luggage and trip length. Your contract names the exact vehicle, its seating capacity and what is on board.
| Group size | Usual fit | Why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–14 passengers | Stretch limo or Sprinter van | Tight downtown streets, valet-style arrivals, and shorter time blocks. | See limousines |
| 14–24 passengers | Mid-size party bus | The most-requested size on our own sites; standing room, sound, and a restroom-free footprint that fits most venue curbs. | See party buses |
| 24–40 passengers | Large party bus or mini coach | Wedding shuttles, corporate transfers, and big birthday groups that need everyone on one vehicle. | Compare large buses |
| 40+ passengers | Full-size coach bus | Luggage bays, restrooms, and highway comfort for long days, tournaments, and multi-city itineraries. | See coach buses |
How pricing is built—hours, mileage, day of week, season, stops—is explained on the pricing page. Every quote is trip-specific and all-inclusive.
From our own booking data
Fort Lauderdale does not yet have 25 company-owned-site requests with a usable city field, so we do not publish Fort Lauderdale-only group size or lead-time figures. These nationwide numbers still apply to how groups size vehicles and when they request a quote.

Questions
Yes. We run trips in Fort Lauderdale and right across Florida with our own buses and our own chauffeurs. Booking is quick and it all happens by phone, live chat, or email, so you never have to drive anywhere to sort it out. Tell us the date, where you are starting, and where you are headed, and we will get you a price. The agreement is signed electronically once you are happy with it.
Every Fort Lauderdale quote is priced for the specific trip: vehicle type, date and day of week, hours, mileage, group size, number of stops, and season all change the number. Quotes are all-inclusive—driver gratuity, taxes, fuel, and ordinary fees are in the written price; tolls and any specifically disclosed exceptions are listed separately. Ask for a written quote rather than relying on a range.
Party buses on the Bus 2 Ride fleet pages seat 8–45 passengers, limousines seat 8–22, shuttle and coach buses run 8–56. Pick the size above your confirmed count. Bags need somewhere to go, and for 8 to 14 a Sprinter is usually the easier fit.
Yes. Multi-stop itineraries are the most common request in Fort Lauderdale—for example, Las Olas Boulevard bar crawl or Himmarshee Village nightlife loop. List every stop in order with an expected wait time at each so the quote covers the full time block rather than a point-to-point estimate.
Yes. For FLL transfers, share flight numbers, terminal, passenger and bag counts, and one group contact. Airports assign commercial-vehicle pickup zones that differ from the passenger curb, so the driver will confirm the exact meeting point, and the quote should state how flight delays and wait time are handled.
Spring break (Mar–Apr), Boat Show (Oct), and snowbird season (Nov–Apr) drive year-round demand. Across Bus 2 Ride's own sites, groups request quotes a median of 30 days ahead, but Friday and Saturday dates around major local events tighten first. For Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and Tortuga Music Festival, request a quote as soon as the date is fixed—4–8 weeks out is comfortable, and wedding groups typically ask three months or more ahead.
No. Sending the form starts it. We check what we have free on your date, send a written price, and the bus is yours once you sign. Roughly half up front, the rest before the trip — your agreement spells out the exact terms for Fort Lauderdale.
