Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

Large friend groupsIdeal for groups close to 30 people who want to stay together in one vehicle rather than splitting into multiple rides; the bus’ 30-passenger scale is built for group celebrations.

Nightlife and bar-hopping crowdsWell suited to nights out on 6th Street or multi-venue evenings where you prefer a single coordinated ride and a private interior with music and lighting.

Bachelor/bachelorette parties and concertsDesigned for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties and concert runs where onboard amenities and a chauffeured service keep the focus on celebrating rather than logistics.

Groups traveling from outside the urban coreSuitable if your pickup is within the 25-mile downtown radius—pickups beyond that radius are allowed but will incur additional per-mile charges and possible extra fees.
