The cost of renting a party bus in Tempe ranges from $150 to $500 per hour, $1,000 to $3,000 for a half-day package, or $2,000 to $4,500+ for a full day depending on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, and time of year. Smaller party buses or sprinter limos seating 10-15 passengers start around $120-$220 per hour, while larger models for 20 to 40 people average $200-$450+ per hour. Prices tend to be higher on weekends and during peak season (March through June) due to high demand for events like ASU graduations and spring training. To get an exact price tailored to your trip details, use our online quote tool or call our team-we are always ready to provide fast, accurate, and transparent pricing!
Several factors influence the final cost of your Tempe party bus rental, including the distance and duration of your trip, the time of year, day of the week, pickup location, type of bus, and any additional fees like tolls or parking.

Call Now: 480-389-2933The distance and duration of your trip directly impact your rental cost because pricing is based on either hourly, daily, or per-mile rates. Local trips within Tempe or the Phoenix Metro area are usually billed hourly (often with a minimum of four or five hours), making them more affordable for short events like a night out on Mill Avenue or a wedding shuttle at Papago Park. Longer trips, such as an all-day excursion to the Grand Canyon or an overnight trip to Las Vegas, are charged either by the total mileage or a flat daily rate to cover additional fuel and driver expenses. For example, a 4-hour local rental at $150 per hour totals $600, while a 200-mile roundtrip at $5 per mile costs $1,000. When you call, we calculate the best pricing structure based on your exact itinerary to ensure you get the most cost-effective solution.
The time of year significantly affects party bus rental prices due to seasonal demand and local events in Tempe. The spring months (March, April, May) are considered peak season because of major events like Arizona State University graduation, the Cactus League Spring Training, and the Tempe Festival of the Arts, causing prices to increase by 10-25%. Fall also sees higher demand due to ASU homecoming and football games. Conversely, winter months like January and February (excluding New Year's Eve) and late summer (July and August) often have lower rates due to decreased demand. Booking during the off-season can save you hundreds of dollars on your rental. We always recommend booking well in advance for any event that falls within peak season to lock in availability and the best possible rate.
Party bus rentals almost always cost more on Fridays and Saturdays compared to weekdays. This is because most events-including bachelor/bachelorette parties, concerts, and sporting events-occur on weekend nights, driving up demand. Many operators require longer minimum rental periods (five to six hours) on weekends versus three to four hours on weekdays. If you're able to schedule your trip on a Monday through Thursday, you can often secure a better deal. For example, a four-hour rental that costs $1,000 on a Saturday night might be only $700 on a Tuesday night. Always check for weekday discounts if your schedule is flexible.
Your pickup and drop-off locations play a major role in your final quote. If your trip starts or ends outside the party bus's normal operating area, you will pay a 'deadhead' fee to cover the cost of the bus traveling empty to or from your location. For example, if you book a bus based in Phoenix for a trip that starts in Tucson (110 miles away), you will be charged for the additional 220 miles of round-trip deadhead. To avoid this, we recommend booking a vehicle that is local to your area-and we always help you find the closest available options. Additionally, high-traffic areas like downtown Phoenix or Sky Harbor Airport may incur extra charges due to staging or permit requirements.
The type and size of the vehicle you choose directly impacts the base price. A standard 15-passenger sprinter limo is the most affordable 'party bus' option, costing about $150-$250 per hour. Larger party buses with a capacity of 30 to 40 passengers cost between $250 and $450+ per hour. Full-size charter buses (up to 56 passengers) are often priced similarly to large party buses but may lack the 'party' amenities (LED lighting, sound system). Choosing the smallest vehicle that comfortably fits your group is the best way to keep costs down. However, if you require luxury amenities (wraparound seating, fiber-optic lighting, premium sound), be prepared to pay more than you would for a standard minibus or charter bus.
Tolls and parking fees are not included in the initial quote and are the responsibility of the renter. In Tempe, many popular venues require pre-paid parking passes or charge significant fees for oversized vehicles. For example, parking at Chase Field or Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix can cost $50-$100 per event. Stadiums like State Farm Arena charge $60+ for bus parking. If you're attending a special event in downtown Phoenix, plan for additional parking costs. Always check with your destination's parking office in advance to get the exact rates and secure a spot. Your final invoice will reflect any tolls incurred during your trip, so budget accordingly.
The timing of your reservation has a huge impact on the final price. Booking 6 to 12 months in advance guarantees the best rates and availability, especially if your trip falls during peak season or a major event weekend. As buses fill up and demand increases closer to the date, prices rise dramatically. Last-minute bookings (within 2 weeks of the trip) often pay significantly higher rates and have fewer vehicle options. For example, booking a 40-passenger bus for a May wedding in January might cost $1,800, while waiting until April could increase the price to $2,400 or more. We always recommend locking in your reservation early-you can often adjust details later if needed.

To help you estimate the cost of your trip, here are some real examples of previous trips booked through Tempe Party Bus Company in Tempe and the greater Phoenix area:
Last month, we booked a 15-passenger party bus rental for a bachelorette party heading from Old Town Scottsdale (pickup near Fashion Square Mall) to Downtown Phoenix (stopping for dinner near Footprint Center) and back. The group was picked up at 7:00 PM on a Friday and dropped off at 2:00 AM on Saturday. The total rental duration was 7 hours. The quote included a 15-passenger party bus with fiber optic lighting, wraparound leather seating, Bluetooth sound system, and onboard bar area. The total price for the trip came to $1,365, which included the vehicle, driver, fuel, and gratuity. The group divided the cost among all passengers, bringing the per-person cost to less than $100 for the entire night.
In October, an alumni group booked a 56-passenger charter bus to transport fans from a residential neighborhood in Gilbert to Sun Devil Stadium for an Arizona State University football game. The trip was scheduled for a Saturday game with pickup at 4:00 PM and drop-off at 11:00 PM (7 hours total). The quote included the full-size charter bus, driver, and fuel. The alumni association arranged pre-paid bus parking through ASU Transportation Services, paying $30 for the pass (a standard rate for game day parking). The total rental cost was $1,960. Divided among 50 passengers, each fan paid approximately $39 for roundtrip transportation and parking to avoid the high cost of individual parking passes near the stadium.
In April, a couple hired two 25-passenger minibuses to shuttle wedding guests between a hotel block near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and a venue in Downtown Tempe. The service ran continuously from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM (8 hours total) on a Saturday to accommodate different guest arrival and departure times. The quote included both minibuses, drivers, and fuel. The couple worked with the hotel to secure complimentary parking for the buses during idle hours and prearranged parking at the venue. The total cost for both minibuses was $2,880. By providing continuous transportation, the couple ensured all guests arrived safely and on time without needing to worry about rideshares or designated drivers.
A group of 20 friends booked a 20-passenger party bus for a Saturday night trip to Old Town Scottsdale. The rental included pickup at a private residence in Chandler at 8:00 PM, stops at several popular bars on North Scottsdale Road and East Camelback Road, and drop-off back in Chandler at 2:00 AM (6 hours total). The party bus featured custom LED lighting, a sound system with Bluetooth, and wraparound seating. The quote included the vehicle, driver, and fuel, but did not include parking. The group paid $50 for a pre-arranged parking pass through the City of Scottsdale to ensure the bus had a designated spot near the entertainment district. The total cost for the rental was $1,650, or $82.50 per person.
In January, a local tech company reserved a 35-passenger executive minibus to transport employees from their downtown Phoenix office to a corporate dinner in the Biltmore area. The event required a roundtrip shuttle service with pickup at 5:30 PM and drop-off at 10:00 PM (4.5 hours total) on a Wednesday evening. The executive minibus included leather seating, Wi-Fi, and power outlets. The total rental cost was $1,025. Because the event was held on a weekday evening, the company benefited from lower midweek pricing compared to a weekend rental.
A bachelor party of 15 men booked a 15-passenger sprinter limo bus to travel from Tempe to Las Vegas for a weekend celebration. The trip included pickup in Tempe on Friday afternoon at 2:00 PM and return drop-off on Sunday evening at 8:00 PM (2 days, 2 nights). The sprinter limo bus included wraparound seating, LED lighting, and a sound system. The quote covered the vehicle, driver, fuel, and all mileage for the 850-mile round trip. The group split the total cost of $3,600 among all passengers, bringing the per-person cost to $240 for roundtrip transportation to Las Vegas-a cost-effective alternative to flying or driving separate vehicles.
In May, a local high school parent-teacher association booked a 40-passenger party bus to transport students to prom at a downtown Phoenix hotel ballroom. The rental included pickup at the high school campus in Tempe at 6:00 PM, drop-off at the venue at 7:00 PM, and return transportation at midnight, dropping all students back at the high school at 1:00 AM (7 hours total). The party bus provided a safe, supervised environment for students to celebrate. The total cost for the rental was $1,800. The PTA arranged for chaperones to ride on the bus and collected a nominal fee from each student to cover the cost, making the event accessible and safe for all attendees.
