Reserving a party bus with Columbus Party Bus Company is simple and straightforward. After you receive your quote, you can review the contract terms and pay the required deposit online to secure your reservation. The remaining balance is typically due before the date of service. Our team will confirm all details with you in advance and answer any questions you may have.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the party bus, plus any applicable taxes and fees. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking passes, and gratuity are not included and should be budgeted separately. For example, parking at statewide Arena or Lower.com Field may cost $20–$40 per vehicle, while oversized vehicle permits at Ohio Stadium can run $50 or more. Tolls on routes to Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Indianapolis will be billed at actual cost. A customary tip for your driver is 10–20% of the total fare, payable in cash at the end of the night. Please ask if you have specific questions about what is or isn’t covered.

We recommend booking your party bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your event falls during a busy time of year. Spring and summer are peak seasons for weddings, proms, and graduation parties, while fall brings high demand for OSU football shuttles and homecoming dances. Major concerts, festivals, and holiday weekends also tend to sell out quickly. Reserving early ensures the best selection of vehicles and lock-in rates before they go up. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but it’s always safer to plan ahead.

Party buses are perfect for any occasion where you want to travel together and have fun along the way.

We also provide transportation to concerts at statewide Arena or Express Live!, sporting events at Ohio Stadium or Schottenstein Center, brewery crawls in the Short North, casino trips to Hollywood Casino Columbus, and day trips to Cedar Point or Hocking Hills.
