How much does a NYC birthday party bus cost?
A NYC birthday party bus costs $525 minimum (Sprinter van, 3-hour minimum at $175/hr) to $2,000 minimum (40-passenger coach, 5-hour minimum at $400/hr). The most popular booking is the 20-passenger party bus for 5 hours at $1,250 flat — perfect for a 16–20 person milestone birthday.
All pricing is flat-rate. No surge on weekends, no surge on New Year's Eve, no surge on Halloween. The 20-passenger party bus that's $1,000 on a Tuesday in January is $1,000 on a Saturday in June.
Gratuity is customary at 18–20% and is separate from the hourly rate. Tolls (Lincoln Tunnel, GWB, Verrazzano, I-95 NJ Turnpike) are passed through at cost. There is no fuel surcharge.
What's included in a NYC birthday rental?
Every birthday party bus includes: professional TLC-licensed chauffeur, fuel, insurance, LED interior lighting, premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-screen TVs, wrap-around leather seating, and coolers with ice. The Sprinter van is equipped the same, scaled to 10–14 seats.
BYOB is permitted for adult birthday bookings. We do not sell alcohol; you bring bottles, mixers, ice-top-ups, and red cups. Our coolers come pre-stocked with ice and get a mid-rental ice refill if the night runs long.
We do not include cake, food, balloons, or custom decor. You're welcome to bring all of it — groups regularly bring sashes, balloons, mini cakes, and catered trays. We ask only that confetti is left at home (damages interiors) and all trash is removed at the end of service.
