Party Bus prices differ from one company to another. The hourly party bus rental cost has many different considerations, depending on the vehicle type, number of passengers, time of year and region of travel.
Typically, in Alberta, standard hourly rate for limo party buses ranges from $200 to $400+ per hour of service.
How much does a limo bus cost and why do party bus rates vary?
There are many factors that are taken into consideration in the calculation of party bus rental services, such as:
- Hours of service
- Size of Party Bus
- Type of Party Bus
- Region and date of travel
Hours of Service
Party Buses are generally rented by the hour. When booking for multiple hours of service the rates could get better. For example, one hour in a party bus could cost $200 per hour, however if you book multiple hours the cost for 3 hours could be only $499.
When booking wedding transportation, you typically use multiple hours of service compared to a birthday party, you might only need the 1 hour. If you require multiple hour packages for occasions such as bachelor parties, weddings, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries and sporting events (Read this article to find out how much to rent a party bus for a night )
Type of vehicle
This is important because your group will want to save as much money as possible, yet still get the most high-quality ride available. A high-end vehicle with tons of state-of-the-art amenities will charge a higher rate than a more bare-bones, standard rental.
It is important to research any party bus you may consider for renting, as it is quite common for rental companies to provide run-down, outdated vehicles, or worse yet… old school buses converted into makeshift party buses! You’ll want to make sure the bus you rent will be top-of-the-line and has the perks your party will want to enjoy.

Size of Party Bus
Most party bus rental companies will have multiple different sizes of buses ranging from 10-30 passengers. An average price for a party bus that carries 30 passengers would cost more than a party bus that carries 16 passengers.
Type of Party Bus
Choosing the type of Party Bus you want is important because some groups' expectations of a party bus are different from others. Understanding what kind of party bus your group needs is best for the most cost-effective pricing. Would you prefer your party bus to have a stripper pole or not?

Party buses also typically offer several ‘bells and whistles’ for an added fee. Depending on how many of these additional perks you choose to enjoy with your group, pricing may go up accordingly.
Date and Region of travel
Party bus hire prices also depend on the day of the week, the season, and even the time of year. At certain times of the year, such as graduation or your wedding day, party bus rentals are higher in demand and come at higher cost than off-peak dates.
Most companies have a minimum number of hours required when hiring during peak seasons. You may not be able to hire a party bus for 1 hour in the middle of the day on a Saturday in July. However, on the middle of a Saturday in February you can take a ride for an hour. Rates can also be affected by the time of day, in that high-traffic periods require longer travel times, so may require more rental hours to accommodate that trip.
Other party bus rental pricing to be aware of could be, terrain, ease of navigation, gasoline prices, National Park fees, and more. Rates will vary depending upon the area being travelled. Ask your company if they have out of town fees.
