My boss was asked by a close friend’s wife to set up a party bus for her husband’s birthday. Being in the limousine industry, she knew that he would find the right party bus at the right price. As an owner of a limousine company he really thought that nothing could surprise him if it involved chauffeured transportation. He was in for a shock.
She had asked him to find a vehicle that would accommodate about 20 passengers and she also wanted him to find some entertainment as well (that story is for another time and another blog site.). Finding the party bus took very little time, finding a vendor that had several styles and models in his inventory and a selection was made fairly quickly.
On the night of the party, my boss with the rest of the passengers was introduced to the world of the party bus. Unlike a limousine, party buses offer conveniences that cannot be replicated in the largest of limousines, Hummers, Navigators, Expeditions etc. First, a party bus allows the passengers to stand fully erect and mill about the vehicle easily. It also has more space for larger sound systems, televisions and amenities like a full service bar, a kitchen, a restroom and large overstuffed seating.
The birthday party went off without a hitch. Dinner went well, the night on the town took on a character of its own and the dance club was a hoot. When the night was done, my boss was so impressed with the differences that a party bus offered over a limousine that he came in and told the entire staff, “If you are planning a night out with a large group of friends, the party bus is the only route to go.” That is a heck of a statement from a guy who has lived and breathed limos for the last ten years.
A party bus may not be the best route to take if you have ten or less passengers, but, if you are going to go out with a large group of friends for an event or get together, the party bus is the only way to travel, or so says my boss.
He told me that the pricing for the party bus they utilized that evening in comparison to leasing a hummer or navigator was negligible and yet the experience was completely different. So base on that, I think my recommendation would be to look into a party bus the next time you get a large group of friends together. Maybe after you experience it for yourself you can drop me a line and let me know if you found the experience to be that much better as well.
