Is food allowed on board?

Generally no food on vehicles to keep interiors clean. Drivers can make stops along the route so your group can grab food between destinations.

Can we decorate the vehicle?

Yes—balloons, streamers, and posters are usually fine as long as they don’t cause damage or leave residue. Anything that risks damage isn’t permitted.

Yes for appropriate events (prom, school formals, sports, etc.). If minors are present and alcohol is involved, a parent or legal guardian must be on board. Underage drinking is strictly prohibited.

No—smoking is not allowed on vehicles. Unlimited stops are typically allowed within your reserved timeframe for restroom or smoke breaks.

Pets are generally allowed with prior approval. Let us know ahead of time so we can place you with the best vehicle and policies for your trip.

1. Vehicle Size Bigger buses cost more. An 8-passenger Limo Sprinter is significantly less than a 45-passenger party bus. Match your vehicle to your actual group size — don't overpay for empty seats.

2. Day of the Week Weekday bookings (Monday-Thursday) are typically 15-25% cheaper than weekends (Friday-Saturday). Sunday pricing is usually between weekday and weekend rates.

3. Time of Year / Season Peak season (May-October, plus holidays like NYE and prom season) commands premium pricing. Off-season (January-March, excluding Valentine's Day) often has better rates and availability.

4. Duration Longer bookings often come with lower per-hour rates. A 6-hour booking might have a lower hourly rate than a 3-hour minimum booking.

5. Distance Trips to Red Rocks, ski resorts, or Blackhawk casinos may include additional mileage or fuel surcharges due to the distance and mountain driving.

6. Special Dates NYE, prom season, Super Bowl Sunday, and major concert dates command premium pricing. Book early for these dates.

Money-Saving Tips

1. Book weekdays — Monday through Thursday rates are significantly lower.

2. Book early — Last-minute bookings often cost more. Book 2-4 weeks ahead for the best rates.

3. Share the cost — A $350/hour bus split among 20 people is only $17.50/person per hour. That's cheaper than individual Ubers!
