When it fits, when it doesn’t

When is a party bus the right choice, and when not?

A party bus is meant for a ride that's part of the party, not for transport from A to B. There's a sound system, mood lighting and a different interior from a regular bus. That's what you're paying for. If the same group is simply going to a venue and back, a midibus or coach is cheaper and more comfortable on the motorway.

Also keep availability in mind: a real party bus is scarce, so for a hen or stag party on a Saturday in high season, requesting well in advance is not exaggerated advice.

What to look out for with a party bus

  1. Whether drinking is allowed on board varies by coach company: ask when you make your request.
  2. Exactly what's on board (fridge, bar, lighting) is listed per vehicle and isn't standard.
  3. Ask whether standing is allowed while driving; that depends on the vehicle's approval.
  4. A real party bus is scarce: on a Saturday in high season you need to request early.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about hiring a party bus

Does every provider have a party bus?

No, this is a scarce type of vehicle. Below are the coach companies we know to have a party bus in their fleet.

Is drinking allowed on board?

This varies by coach company: always discuss it when requesting the quote.

What is the difference between a party bus and a regular coach?

The interior. A party bus has a sound system, mood lighting and often a different seating layout; a coach is fitted out to cover distance comfortably. For a trip to a venue and back, a coach is usually cheaper.

How many people fit in a party bus?

That differs per vehicle. How many seats a party bus has is shown with each vehicle in the overview below.

How far ahead should I request a party bus?

Further ahead than for a regular bus, because there are only a few of them. For a Saturday in spring or summer, a couple of months ahead is not an exaggerated lead time.

Is a feestbus, borrelbus or discobus the same as a party bus?

Yes, those are Dutch names for the same kind of bus: with sound and mood lighting on board, and a ride that is part of the party. Whatever name a coach company uses, you compare them here under party bus.

What does it cost to hire a party bus?

More than a regular coach of the same size: you pay for the interior, and a party bus is usually booked for a few hours. You see what it costs for your trip as soon as you fill in your route, date and group.

Can I hire a party bus for 15 or 20 people?

You can, but the party buses we know of in coach companies’ fleets are large, so you pay for empty seats. A minibus or VIP bus with a driver suits that size better. It has no party interior; ask for music on board in your request if you want it.

Written and checked by Martijn Smeets, founder of BusOffer.com. The counts come from the fleets of the participating coach companies. The text was last updated on 15 October 2026.
