Local planning
Starting points. New Braunfels requests most often begin in Downtown/Main Plaza, Gruene Historic District, River Road area and Landa Park area. 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 New Braunfels include Gruene Hall (oldest dance hall in Texas), Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Canyon Lake, Comal River tubing and Guadalupe River tubing. Some have a coach door away from the main entrance. Worth knowing before the group is standing outside.
Busy weekends. Local calendars around Wurstfest (10-day German festival), Gruene Music & Wine Festival, Wassailfest and Comal County Fair concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Availability tightens around them, so get the date held rather than shopping it.
Routes we run often. Gruene Hall and Gruene Historic District bar crawl; Comal River tubing shuttle; Guadalupe River tubing shuttle; New Braunfels to Austin (45 min). List the stops in the order you want them and be realistic about the finish — that is what the price is built on.
What it costs here. Wurstfest week commands top rates. Your written quote is one all-in number for your route, so nothing new turns up at the curb.
Beyond New Braunfels. Trips that continue into Abilene, Allen, Amarillo or Arlington are quoted as one itinerary. The Texas guide covers statewide staging and long-distance planning.
For a New Braunfels night out anchored on Gruene Hall and Gruene Historic District bar crawl, 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.
Wurstfest grounds and Wurstfest (10-day German festival) and other New Braunfels 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.
Canyon Lake and Comal River tubing 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
New Braunfels does not yet have 25 company-owned-site requests with a usable city field, so we do not publish New Braunfels-only group size or lead-time figures. These nationwide numbers still apply to how groups size vehicles and when they request a quote.
For the four-hour block, the middle half of quotes we have written fell between $1,200 and $1,700 — median $1,400.
Total quoted amounts on four-hour trips across all vehicle types and markets. Historical figures; call or chat for a current number on your date.

Our past wedding quotes ran a median $1,600; half of them fell between $1,340 and $2,000.
Quartiles of the total quoted on wedding trips, pooled across markets and durations. History only, and your date sets the real number.
n = 1,441 requests
Short notice is normal, not a problem: 26% of requests land inside two weeks of the date, and 13% inside a week.
Share of requests by days of notice. Late is workable on most weeknights; on a Friday or Saturday the choice of vehicle narrows quickly.

Questions
Yes. We run trips in New Braunfels and right across Texas 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 New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels—for example, Gruene Hall and Gruene Historic District bar crawl or Comal River tubing shuttle. 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.
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 Wurstfest (10-day German festival) and Gruene Music & Wine 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 New Braunfels.
