The Complete Beginner's Guide to Part Bus Hire

Whether you're staring down the barrel of organising an amazing bucks party or there's a big birthday on the way, you might find yourself struggling to find a stupendous idea that'll leave everyone happy. Party bus hire services are excellent for turning an otherwise basic night out into something special. If you're not sure as to what it involves, now's your time to learn.

What does party bus hire involve?

As the name suggests, this is a mode of transport you use when you're having a party. Unlike a limousine, there's a lot of space for you to move around and there are generally more features. For example, it may include poles, a dance area, and even some games consoles. Your bus will either take you from place to place if you need pub crawl bus hire services, or it will drop you off at one destination and pick you up when the party is over.

How can you make the bus extra special?

If you liaise with the company providing the rental service, you can request decorations and tweaks that make the transport extra special. For example, if you require a bucks party bus hire service, you may want to fill the onboard fridge with beer. Similarly, if you're hiring the bus for a party of teenagers, the company will fill the fridge with non-alcoholic beverages to make sure it's all legal.

How much do party buses cost?

The cost of your party bus will depend on several factors:

• What day of the week it is. For example, you'll pay more for one at the weekend as this is when demand is typically higher.
• The time of year and special events. Key dates such as New Year's Eve will lead to higher costs.
• The size of your party and the services they require
• How long your party bus driver will spend waiting

It's worth bearing in mind that most companies require a minimum number of hours. As this is the case, you may as well make the most of the hire service, especially if you're using it for a pub crawl. 

If you're new to using party buses, try to provide the rental company with as much information as possible. They'll need to know how many people they're carrying, what type of drinks you like, where you're planning to travel to, and what time you want to leave. With forward planning and plenty of liaising, you can create an experience you'll remember for all the right reasons.
