Did You Know?

How far in advance do most people book group transportation?

On average, customers book party buses and limousines 3–6 weeks before their event. However, peak-season events like prom and New Year's Eve often sell out 2–3 months in advance. Last-minute bookings (under 7 days) account for about 15% of all reservations and usually cost 10–20% more.

Booking Tip

Can you decorate a rented party bus or limo?

Tap to reveal answer
Booking Tip

Most operators allow light decorations like balloons, banners, and streamers — but confirm in advance. Avoid confetti, glitter, and tape that leaves residue, as these often trigger a cleaning fee ($50–$200). Many companies offer decoration packages or can recommend event planners who specialize in vehicle styling.
