PARTY BUS VS. LIMO: WHICH TO RENT FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT
If you’re in the midst of planning a celebration, you’ll already know how important it is to get every detail just right. From the guest list to the activities, you’re probably focused on everything that will happen during the event itself. But what about what leads up to it? You might think of transportation to and from the occasion as an afterthought, but don’t forget that your choice here can set the entire mood. In many cases, driving your own car or relying on public transit simply won’t do.
Once you realize that renting transportation for your special event is the way to go, you’ll have several options to choose from. For luxurious or once-in-a-lifetime events, the choice often comes down to limousines or party bus rentals. Each one has unique benefits and is well-suited for a variety of uses. In today’s post, we’ll talk about the ins and outs of renting a party bus or opting for a limousine rental in an effort to make your decision a bit clearer.
RENTING A PARTY BUS
Two of the main advantages of party buses is that they can offer impressive amenities and significant space. If you have a large group of people — like if you’re celebrating a bar or bat mitzvah, booking transportation for prom, or have a massive wedding party to bring around — a party bus can be a great option. Renting a party bus will also provide you with more amenities than most other types of transportation. For example, you might be able to rent a party bus that has a state-of-the-art sound system, flat-screen television, special lighting, or even a bar area. If you really want to make getting to your destination part of the event itself, a party bus rental won’t let you down.
That said, party buses will typically cost more than certain other types of transportation. This means that you’ll need to keep your budget in mind when you book. For smaller groups, the amenities and extra space a party bus can offer simply may not be necessary. And for more corporate or low-key events, there might be more appropriate types of transportation to choose from. While not all party buses can hold the same number of passengers or offer the same types of amenities, this will be a great starting point if you’re looking for a way to transport a large group in style.
RENTING A LIMO
It’s no surprise that this classic transportation option continues to be popular. With more than 130,000 limousines currently in service all across the country, deciding to rent a limo can be an excellent choice for people celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, and other occasions. It’s also an appropriate choice when providing transport for VIPs, heading to a school dance, or celebrating virtually any other special event. In other words, limousines are a bit more versatile than party buses in terms of their intended use. They’re also comfortable, sleek, and private; while many people will notice a stretch limo out on the road, it’s generally a bit more inconspicuous than a large party bus. There also tend to be more limo options in a given fleet, allowing you to stick to a budget and have a better choice of vehicle.
However, limos can have their drawbacks, as well. Their atmosphere can be a bit too formal for some people and their space can be limited. So if you have a large, rowdy crowd, renting a party bus may be a better option. And while there are some amenities in limousines, you’ll have a more impressive array of features with a party bus.
Ultimately, your choice about whether to rent a limo or a party bus comes down to a few main factors: your personal taste, the size of your party, your budget, and your list of must-haves.
