Booking a party bus for a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party may seem like a great way to book both a party location and transportation efficiently, but there are several factors to consider before you board the bus for a night of debauchery. By being proactive about details when booking your party bus, you’ll eliminate any last minute issues from popping up during the night of the event.

Booking Confirmation
While renting a bus for the night may seem like an easy, run of the mill process, the intricacies involved are surprising. In addition to ensuring the driver and vehicle are insured, every detail of the reservation needs to be confirmed in advance. This includes what kind of bus you’re renting (with seats, minimal seats, open top, etc), how many people can fit, where you’ll be picked up and dropped off, and if the driver will make stops at a party goer’s request. Be sure to read through your contract with the company and speak to a representative to make sure all the details are set in stone.

Food and Drinks
Some buses include food and drinks as part of their packages, while others do not include them at all. If food and drink from the bus company are an option, look into the prices of those packages and compare them to other rates. If you don’t want to use the services provided by the bus company, or the company doesn’t offer food and drinks, ask if you can bring your own. This can bring down the cost significantly if you provide certain foods, and ask guests to bring what they want as well.

Route
Though you may plan this out with a representative before the event, confirm the route with your party bus driver. There could be a chance that they’re not aware of where you planned to go, or may have a better idea of easier routes for large buses. By double-checking this detail, you won’t be left confused and waiting for a bus to show up with all your guests.

Music
Everyone has different musical tastes, but determining what/where music will play from on the bus is crucial. Music will help put guests at ease, and keep the party going as you drive around town, so make sure you know who will be selecting and playing the music. And if you can provide your own music, ask what sort of sound system they have, so you have any additional supplies necessary.

Price
This is obviously an important step in the party bus booking process. Without knowing the price, how will you know if you’re getting a good deal? Buses will charge either a flat or hourly rate, but some may throw in additional charges for fuel, tip, and going over your allotted time. Compare prices from various bus companies and weigh the pros and cons before making your final decision.

If you are planning a bachelor party for anyone then you will want to make it special and different. Anyone can throw a party and have exotic dancers for better experience and enjoyment.

But, what if you want unique and like nothing that has ever been done before? What then? Well, you have come to the right place, read on for some ideas on how to organise the best bachelor party ever.

Weekend

For most people, the bachelor party is one night even and usually ends up with a prank on the groom. The party is the night before the wedding and sometimes the groom has nearly missed the wedding because of the bachelor party.

So you could break with tradition and organize the event the week before the wedding and take the groom away for the weekend. It could be anywhere really, as long as the groom has a good time and he remembers the weekend for the rest of his life.

For some bachelor weekends, they have stayed in the country but they have just gone to a different city. There is one city in particular for bachelor weekends and would be amazing but might be a bit expensive.

If money isn’t really an object, then people have gone to some European cities for their bachelor weekends and had an amazing time there. They don’t remember much, but they remember that they loved it there.

Night Club

Another option is to hire a nightclub for the night and have the club just for your party. This will cost a lot of money, but it will be worth it. If you don’t want to hire the club, you could just have a VIP section for the party and then have members of the public and other guests in the club as well.

Therefore, the club won’t look too empty and other people can mingle with your party and make friends. Therefore, the bachelor party will seem like a massive event.

Party Bus

One option that is becoming a lot more popular is, hiring a party bus. The bus can drive you around, or it can take you on a tour of all the popular nightclubs.

The great thing about a party bus is that there is a nightclub actually on the bus. Furthermore, the bus just looks like a normal bus from the outside.

It could turn up to pick everyone up and they will wonder why you have booked a plain-looking bus, but when they actually get on the bus, all will become clear.

Most party buses have enough space for around 30 people, and it will have a fully stocked bar. There will also be booths for people to sit and enjoy the dance on the floor.

Some people have hired the party bus and then asked the company to have a theme for the party. Therefore, they have mad movie parties, James Bond parties and even a CSI theme.

Plus, you could get the driver to take you wherever you want to go, within reason and you will be totally immersed in the atmosphere of the party bus. The driver’s area is completely sectioned off so you will forget that he or she is even sitting there. On some party buses, the driver will act like a host but if you don’t want that, you can just tell the company.

The rising incidences of DUIs (driving under the influence) in Arizona have prompted lawmakers to institute higher fines, making it more difficult for offenders to circumvent the consequences of their actions.

The Arizona DUI fines are now pegged at $1,450 for first-time offenders and $3,400 for second-time offenders. This includes standard fines, surcharges (amounting to 80 percent of the fines), additional $500 fine imposed on first-timers, and $1240 for repeat offenders. These additional fines were imposed in August 2005, to augment the standard fines that only covered expenses for court procedures.

The additional money goes to improvements in highway safety systems and prison housing facilities, according to Arizona lawmakers. The Arizona Department of Public Safety is adding more police \ along highways to help deter and arrest drivers who go on the road while under the influence of alcohol and other substances. The fines also go to “prison construction assessments,” since every DUI offender found guilty needs to serve a mandatory prison sentence.

Note that fines actually vary depending on the gravity of the offense. First-time offenders found to have very high alcohol content in their bloodstream (.15 or more) may be asked to pay as much as $2,700. The fines stated above are the minimum fines, and depending on the judge, an offender may be forced to pay a much higher amount. In addition to the crippling fines, DUI offenders may also lose their driver’s license and are ordered to submit to alcohol screening and drug and alcohol counseling sessions.

If you happen to be charged with DUI and cannot pay the fine upfront, you have the option of paying it over time. Immediately consult with an experienced Arizona DUI attorney to prevent losing your license and to protect yourself from other possible fees. But the best advice is still prevention – don’t drink and drive. This way you stay safe, avoid fines and keep your record clean.

Have you heard about the hottest way to travel around San Francisco today? It’s the party bus all the way, with a plethora of amenities combined with extreme comfort and style. Party buses have become the preferred mode of travel in the 21st century, whether you are planning for a night of club hopping or simply need transportation to and from the church on your wedding day. The party bus makes getting to your destination half the fun. Check out many of the hottest amenities you may find on a Bay area party bus.

Lights

Most party buses have invested in first class lighting systems that may include strobes, lasers and disco balls. These systems can provide you with an impressive laser light show or create the perfect ambiance for a night of dancing onboard.

Sound

To complement the fantastic lighting systems, most buses are also equipped with equally impressive sound packages. You can play the tunes on board or plug in your iPod for your own personal mix.

Seating

Leather couches abound in the top line party buses, and most passengers find the accommodations quite comfortable. Some buses also include tables with built in drink holders to keep your beverages safe and sound as your travel along city streets.

Televisions

Plasma TV, anyone? You can use the televisions onboard to watch your favorite movies or catch the nightly game if you are so inclined. These televisions come in particularly handy for tailgating parties, allowing you to check out the pre-game show while warming up for the big game.

DVD/CD Player

Whether you want to pop in your favorite tunes or catch a flick, this device is another fun addition to a San Francisco party bus. Nothing like a little entertainment to get the party in full swing.

Dance Floor

Yes, you heard correctly. Many San Francisco party buses provide a dance floor right in the middle of the bus. Some even include a dance pole for whatever entertainment you might see fit to provide.

Bar

Got to serve the refreshments from somewhere, right? Just make sure your bartending buddy is invited onboard. Bars will usually include coolers and ice buckets for chilling your champagne bottles.

Luggage Space

You may not think you need much cargo room for a night on the town, but storage may be at a premium for tailgating. Sufficient space may mean you can pack in that grill and a few deck chairs for hanging out in the stadium parking lot before the game.

Bathroom

After a long night of partying, you will be more than a little pleased to find your own private bathroom onboard. No need for frequent pit stops as you drive around town.

Bus Driver

Probably the most valuable amenity onboard, your experienced bus driver will keep you safe as you tour the city. He may also be able to tell you the hottest party spots in town and get you in the door without waiting in line. You can’t put a price tag on that kind of service!

I was born in Jacksonville and have lived here almost my entire life. The best thing about my city is having the Jacksonville Jaguars games so close to home. My sports friends and I make it to as many games as we can. You just cannot compare watching a game on television to watching one live from the stands.

Just recently, my friends and I have started renting a party bus for the games. These buses are amazing and make the tailgating even more enjoyable than it already is. We can easily fit my 5 girlfriends and their significant others comfortably in these buses. It is like having your living room available 20 feet from the tailgate party. If it is too hot out then we can relax in the bus and cool down. I’m sure that someone could even take a nap if they wanted to.

The drivers are awesome too! My friends have always commented on the friendliness and professionalism of the drivers after we get home from a game. It must be an interesting job driving around people like my friends and I all the time. It’s just too bad that the drivers can’t watch the game with us, but we do always offer some tailgate barbecue to them.

Watching the games has become a way of life for my group of friends. The anticipation the day before the game is like Christmas Eve for us. We enjoy getting the food and beverages together that we will have before the game. Everyone brings something of their own so we never can tell exactly what we will be having at our tailgate party each game. The guys are mostly predictable which is nice because it allows the ladies to be creative since we know the staple food will be taken care of.

After the game we load up into the bus and head back towards each person’s home. Even though it takes a few hours to drop everyone off it isn’t boring at all. I think some of the crew like this part of the day the best. The are full of food and sometimes drinks but don’t have to worry about driving. If you haven’t taken a party bus to a Jacksonville Jaguars game before then I highly recommend you try it at least once. Get your friends together to split up the bill and it is very affordable and definitely worth it.

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably been hearing a lot about party bus rentals. Perfect for group outings on the town, they’re becoming more and more popular lately. But what makes a party bus preferable to a traditional limo or taxi?

Whether you’re planning your sister’s bachelorette party or a pub crawl with your wide network of friends, you’ll need to find a mode of transportation that keeps everyone safe, comfortable, and entertained. Unless you plan on coordinating a caravan of multiple designated drivers, your transportation options are limited to taxis, limos, and party buses.

When choosing a mode of transport, the number-one priority is making sure it can accommodate everyone. Even the most spacious minivan taxi can only fit up to six passengers, while the average limousine service may only fit between 10 and 20 passengers. On the other hand, most party buses can comfortably seat between 30 and 40 people. This spacious capacity is just one of the many reasons that party bus rentals have become such a popular choice for clients of all ages and backgrounds.

Perfect for on-the-go celebrations, concerts, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and more, these versatile buses are favored over other means of transportation because they have so much more to offer.

Style. When clients want to arrive at their destination in style, they choose a sleek party bus. With chic leather seats, funky interior lighting, and a smart finish on the exterior, passengers are able to travel like Hollywood A-listers for the night. And with plenty of space for leg room, the plush, cushioned seating becomes all the more comfortable.
Entertainment. Outfitted with premium mobile electronics, party buses offer unbeatable entertainment value while en route. Passengers are able to fill the background with flashy music videos on the mobile video screens while listening to their favorite music through top-quality speakers, amps, and subwoofers. One thing is for certain: a ride on a party bus will never get dull.
Safety. Virtually all transportation services have to be licensed, bonded, and insured to secure the utmost protection for their passengers. If genuine safety is your topmost priority, try to find a company that utilizes a fleet with only QVM-certified vehicles. These vehicles will be structurally sound and 100% reliable at all times.
Convenience. Having a party bus drive you to and from an event is not only safe, but convenient. Your driver will drop you off at your destination and wait outside until the time of departure. If you’re able to find one with all-inclusive pricing – that is, without wait fees, gas surcharges, or extra cleaning costs – all the better! Party buses prevent you from having to hail a taxi, pay for parking, or cram into a crowded limousine. In addition, most models are equipped with coolers, cup holders, and champagne glasses, so you don’t have to lug any extra items.

With so many advantages, it’s no wonder that more and more people are opting for bus rentals when organizing large social outings. Equipped with superb mobile audio and entertainment features, competent drivers, and everything you need for an amazing time, bus rental is a no-brainer.
