Local planning
Where we collect you. Aurora requests most often begin in Downtown Aurora, Fox Valley, New Aurora and Pigeon Hill. Give us a street address or a named lot entrance rather than the neighborhood — drive time and where the bus can actually sit both hang on the exact curb.
Common destinations. Destinations named for Aurora include Paramount Theatre, Hollywood Casino Aurora, RiverEdge Park, Phillips Park and SciTech Hands On Museum. Loading rules vary by venue. Pick a meeting corner up front so nobody is hunting for the bus at the end of the night.
When the calendar tightens. Local calendars around Blues on the Fox, Fox Valley Folk Festival, Downtown Alive! summer series and Aurora Christmas Parade concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Availability tightens around them, so get the date held rather than shopping it.
Beyond Aurora. Trips that continue into Arlington Heights, Berwyn, Bloomington or Bolingbrook are quoted as one itinerary. The Illinois guide covers statewide staging and long-distance planning.
Fox Valley Folk Festival and Aurora Christmas Parade and other Aurora 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.
RiverEdge Park and Phillips Park 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.
Hollywood Casino Aurora usually have a designated bus or motorcoach drop, which is often a different door from the main valet. Ask for the group entrance, confirm any age or ID rules with the property, and set the return time before the group boards.
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
Aurora does not yet have 25 company-owned-site requests with a usable city field, so we do not publish Aurora-only group size or lead-time figures. These nationwide numbers still apply to how groups size vehicles and when they request a quote.
Group size moves the total steadily: median quotes of $1,400 for 10 or fewer, $1,590 for 15–20 and $2,050 for 31 and up, across all durations.
Median quoted totals by passenger band across all durations. Historical; hours, distance and date all move the number.

Our past prom quotes ran a median $1,950; half of them fell between $1,600 and $2,480.

Plan a birthday party and you are probably calling 26 days out — that is our median — while the middle half stretches from 12 to 51 days.

Questions
Yes. We run trips in Aurora and right across Illinois 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 Aurora 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. Go one size up from your headcount. Between the coolers and the coats it fills faster than people expect; Sprinters handle 8 to 14.
Yes. Multi-stop itineraries are the most common request in Aurora, including trips to Paramount Theatre, Hollywood Casino Aurora and RiverEdge Park. 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.
Blues on the Fox (June) and summer concert season at RiverEdge Park are peak. 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 Blues on the Fox and Fox Valley Folk 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 Aurora.
