How Booking Works: From First Call to Final Drop-Off
Booking an LA party bus with us follows the same steps every time, and everything that matters ends up in writing before you pay. Here’s how it works.
Five steps from inquiry to the night itself
Tell us the plan
Date, start and end time, confirmed headcount, pickup address, every stop and the final drop-off.
Answer two required questions
Will anyone under 21 be on board, and will alcohol be present? California law requires us to ask.
Get matched to a vehicle
We size the vehicle to your headcount and your route, and flag any stop a large bus can’t reach.
Review it in writing
Your written confirmation lists the vehicle, times, stops, total price and terms before any deposit.
Final check before the night
We reconfirm pickup details and timing, and your driver has the plan before they arrive.
What your confirmation should include
- The vehicle size and passenger capacity
- Pickup time and address, every stop, and the final drop-off
- Booked hours and how billing time is counted
- The total price, including any gratuity and fees
- The overtime rate if the night runs long
- Deposit amount, balance due date, and cancellation terms
- The company name and TCP number
When plans change
- Headcount changes: tell us as early as possible; a big change can mean a different vehicle size.
- New stops: add them before the night so we can check access and timing.
- Running late: the clock starts at the booked time, so build in buffer for guests who are always late.
- Extending the night: overtime is billed at the rate in your confirmation, subject to the vehicle’s next booking.
