Local planning
Starting points. Columbus requests most often begin in Downtown Columbus, Short North Arts District, German Village and Grandview Heights. Send the exact address, including which side of the street. That is what sets the drive time we quote you.
Where we drop. Destinations named for Columbus include Ohio Stadium (The Horseshoe), Nationwide Arena (Blue Jackets), Lower.com Field (Columbus Crew), Huntington Park and Schottenstein Center. Some have a coach door away from the main entrance. Worth knowing before the group is standing outside.
Busy weekends. Local calendars around Ohio State Buckeyes football, Columbus Crew soccer, Columbus Blue Jackets hockey and Columbus Arts Festival concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. If your trip lands on one of these, book sooner than you think you need to.
Itineraries groups ask about. Short North gallery hop and bar crawl; Arena District pre-game loop; German Village dining and pub crawl; CMH Airport to downtown/campus hotels. Send your version with every stop in order and an honest end time, and the quote will cover the whole block.
Airport groups. Columbus trips connect to CMH. Send flight numbers and bag counts; the meeting point is the commercial-vehicle zone, not the passenger curb.
Beyond Columbus. Trips that continue into Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo or Akron are quoted as one itinerary; see the Ohio guide.
Ohio Stadium (The Horseshoe), Nationwide Arena (Blue Jackets) and Lower.com Field (Columbus Crew): the start time fixes arrival, the exit crowd fixes pickup. Agree one meeting corner and give the driver a 30–45 minute cushion after the final whistle.
CMH Airport to downtown/campus hotels: name the exact building entrance, confirm current access rules with the school, and count students and guests separately.
Short North gallery hop and bar crawl, German Village dining and pub crawl and Brewery District crawl: fix the stop order and last pickup time first, name one group contact for the driver, and check each venue's group entry policy.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
