Local planning
Starting points. Frankfort requests most often begin in Downtown Frankfort, South Frankfort, Bellepoint and Peaks Mill. 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.
Where groups go. Destinations named for Frankfort include Kentucky State Capitol, Buffalo Trace Distillery, Josephine Sculpture Park, Grand Theatre and Capital City Museum. Tell us which one you are going to and we will sort the staging with them.
Busy weekends. Local calendars around Capital City Brew Fest, Frankfort Fest, Kentucky Bourbon Festival events and Governor's Derby Day Brunch concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. If your trip lands on one of these, book sooner than you think you need to.
What people book here. Buffalo Trace to Castle & Key distillery tour; Downtown Frankfort history walk; Frankfort to Lexington shuttle. Stop order and end time matter more than distance. Send both.
Beyond Frankfort. Trips that continue into Bowling Green, Covington, Elizabethtown or Florence are quoted as one itinerary. The Kentucky guide covers statewide staging and long-distance planning.
For a Frankfort night out anchored on Buffalo Trace Distillery and Buffalo Trace to Castle & Key distillery tour, 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.
Capital City Brew Fest and Frankfort Fest and other Frankfort 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.
Josephine Sculpture 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.
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.

Questions
Yes. We run trips in Frankfort and right across Kentucky 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 Frankfort 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. Book the seat count above your headcount — coolers, coats and bags take space too. Sprinters suit 8 to 14 when you want a smaller footprint.
Yes. Multi-stop itineraries are the most common request in Frankfort—for example, Buffalo Trace to Castle & Key distillery tour or Downtown Frankfort history walk. 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.
Bourbon Heritage Month (September) and Kentucky Derby season spill over into Frankfort's distillery 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 Capital City Brew Fest and Frankfort Fest, 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 Frankfort.
