Is a 40-Passenger Bus Right for Your Group?
Book by confirmed guests, not the RSVP list. Capacity means everyone seated, so plan on about 80% of the seats if people want to stand and dance: on a 40-seat bus, that's around 32.
32 to 36 people
The sweet spot. Everyone has a seat and the dance floor stays open.
37 to 40 people
It fits, but most seats are filled. Fine for a game day or a wedding shuttle; for a dance-all-night party, ask for a bigger coach.
30 people or fewer
Our 30 passenger party bus costs less and reaches more pickups.
More than 40 people
See our 50 passenger party bus page for 41 to 50 and for groups that need two vehicles.
What a 40 Passenger Party Bus Costs in LA
Our large party buses start at $225 an hour, and bigger coaches and peak dates run up to $350. Here's a six-hour night at both ends, $1,350 to $2,100, divided by headcount.
The bus costs the same at 32 or 40, so every extra person lowers everyone's share. Gratuity and any fees are confirmed in your written quote.
One Large Bus vs Two Mid-Size Buses
Forty people is past what a mid-size bus seats, so the real choice is one large bus or two smaller ones. Six hours at midpoint and range rates.
One bus is cheaper and keeps the group in one room. Two buses only make sense when the route includes a stop a large bus can't reach, or when the group is really two groups heading to different places.
Where a 40 Passenger Bus Fits in Los Angeles
Built for it
Stadium and arena bus zones, hotel loading zones, wedding venues with a lot or a long drive, and the run to Las Vegas.
Plan ahead
A bus this size needs room to stage and turn. We confirm every address on your list before the day, and set a nearby staging point where the curb is too short.
Won't fit
Parking structures, hillside streets, canyon roads and most porte-cocheres. If your route needs any of those, two smaller vehicles may be the answer.
On board
BYOB for guests 21 and older, coolers, ice and cup holders, dance floor space, TVs, and a restroom on select coaches. If you need the restroom, ask for it by name when you book.
Weddings, Game Days and Company Nights
Weddings
The whole wedding party and close family between ceremony, photos and reception. Count gowns as well as guests.
Concerts and game days
One bus, one bus zone, and one ride home after the crowd lets out.
Corporate events
Company outings, client events and conference nights where 35 people need to arrive together.
Quinceañeras
Church, photos and reception, usually back to back, so book the whole day.
Licensing for a Bus This Size
Any vehicle designed to carry 16 or more people, counting the driver, needs a driver with a commercial license and a passenger endorsement, and in California the company needs a CPUC charter-party permit, shown as a "TCP" number. At this size, ask for the certificate of insurance too: required coverage rises with seating capacity. Ask any company for all three, including us.
