Erie Party Bus Rentals

If you’re looking for an exciting night out, look no further than Presque Isle Downs & Casino! This popular gaming destination offers slot machines, table games, live horse racing, and multiple dining options—perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties or birthday celebrations. With a private party bus rental from Erie Party Bus Company, your group can enjoy door-to-door service without worrying about designated drivers or parking logistics. Hit the casino floor, place your bets, and dance the night away at The Hub while your bus waits outside ready to take everyone home comfortably.

The Bayfront Convention Center is one of Erie’s premier event venues, hosting everything from large-scale weddings and corporate galas to trade shows and concerts.

Arrive together, skip the hassle of finding multiple parking spots, and store any formalwear or equipment on board while you enjoy stunning views of Presque Isle Bay.

Home to the Erie Otters (OHL) and Erie BayHawks (NBA G League), Erie Insurance Arena is a top destination for sports fans and concertgoers alike. Catching a hockey game or big-name concert is even better when you don’t have to worry about traffic or parking fees. Your driver will drop you off right at the entrance and wait as long as it takes for everyone to regroup after the show. Bring coolers, banners, or tailgating supplies—they’ll fit easily in the storage compartments of your bus.

Pack towels, swimsuits, and picnic baskets without worrying about space constraints, and spend the day enjoying rides like Ravine Flyer II or relaxing by the wave pool.

Stretching several miles through central Erie, Peach Street is lined with bars, restaurants, shopping centers, and nightlife venues that cater to every taste.

Enjoy dinner at one of the many chain restaurants before hitting the dance floor at a local club—all while knowing you have reliable transportation waiting outside.

Sports fans will love catching an Erie SeaWolves baseball game at UPMC Park in downtown Erie. This Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers offers affordable entertainment for groups of all ages during the spring and summer months. Book a party bus to transport your crew to the stadium, where you can cheer on the home team, enjoy ballpark snacks, and participate in between-inning contests. After the final out, continue the festivities by heading to nearby bars or restaurants along State Street.

Located in the heart of downtown Erie, Perry Square serves as a central gathering place for festivals, concerts, and community events throughout the year. From CelebrateErie to seasonal farmers markets, there’s always something happening in this historic park.

Afterward, explore nearby attractions like the Erie Art Museum or grab a bite to eat at a local café.

Animal lovers of all ages will enjoy spending a day at the Erie Zoo, home to over 400 animals representing more than 100 species from around the world.

Don’t forget to visit the botanical gardens and gift shop before heading back.

The cost to rent a party bus in Erie typically ranges from $170 to $400+ per hour on weekdays, $190 to $500+ per hour on weekends, $1,800 to $3,800+ per day, and $6.00 – $9.95 per mile. Exact pricing depends on the size of the vehicle, length of rental, distance traveled, and time of year. Larger buses with more amenities will be at the higher end of the range. For example, a 20-passenger party bus may cost around $2,200 for a 5-hour package, while a 40-passenger bus could be $3,500 or more for the same duration. Additional hours are typically billed at $250–$450 per hour. Always confirm exact rates with our team when booking.

Several factors influence the final price of your party bus rental. The biggest variables are the size of the vehicle, the total duration of the trip, and the distance traveled. Larger buses with higher seating capacities generally cost more than smaller models. Longer trips that span multiple hours or days will increase the overall rate. Weekend bookings and peak seasons—such as prom month, wedding season, or major sporting events—may be subject to higher demand pricing. Additional fees can include tolls, parking permits at venues like Erie Insurance Arena or UPMC Park, and cleanup charges if the bus is left excessively dirty. Providing an exact itinerary upfront helps ensure an accurate quote with no additional fees.

It’s best to book your party bus as early as possible—ideally 4–6 weeks in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and summer are peak seasons due to weddings, proms, and graduations, so buses fill up quickly during these months. Major events like CelebrateErie, Roar on the Shore, and high school dances at McDowell or Cathedral Prep can cause increased demand. Last-minute bookings are accepted if inventory allows, but options may be limited. Securing your reservation early guarantees you get the exact vehicle you want for your event date.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to reserve your vehicle. The deposit amount is typically 20–30% of the total rental cost and is non-refundable. Final payment is due before the date of service, either paid in full or according to a schedule arranged with your sales representative. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and checks for payment. The reservation is not confirmed until the deposit has been received and processed. Please review the contract for specific terms regarding cancellations and refunds.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the party bus, driver’s time, and mileage based on the itinerary you provide.

Venues like Erie Insurance Arena and UPMC Park may charge $10–$40 for bus parking, which is not included in the quote. Any cleaning or damage fees incurred during the rental will be billed separately after the trip.
