Party Bus Rentals Austin, Texas

Zilker Metropolitan Park isn’t just Austin’s best-loved green space—it’s also home to some of the biggest events in the city, including the Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL Fest) every October. Getting to Zilker for ACL—or any major event—can be a nightmare: parking is extremely limited, neighborhood streets are closed to traffic, and rideshare pickup zones mean long walks before and after the show. Skip the hassle by booking a party bus instead. We’ll drop your group off as close to the festival gates as local authorities allow, then pick you up at a designated spot whenever you’re ready to leave. With comfortable seats, powerful air conditioning, Bluetooth sound systems, and storage space for coolers or backpacks, our buses keep the party going between sets while giving everyone a reliable ride home at the end of the night.

The Moody Center is Austin’s newest—and busiest—arena, hosting everything from University of Texas basketball games to sold-out concerts by national touring acts. Located on the UT campus just north of downtown, it’s a fantastic venue with terrible parking: most spaces require pre-purchased permits, and event-night traffic backs up fast on Red River Street and MLK Boulevard. A party bus solves all those problems. We’ll get your group as close as possible to the main entrance for drop-off, then circle back for pickup right after the final buzzer or encore. No one has to worry about finding their car, paying $30+ for a garage, or getting separated from friends in post-event crowds. It’s the easiest way to do a night at the Moody Center—especially if you plan to hit a bar before or after the show.

If you’re heading to Q2 Stadium to cheer on Austin FC, you already know how wild game days can get. The city’s first major league soccer venue draws sellout crowds, and while the atmosphere inside is electric, getting there isn’t always easy. Public transit options are limited, rideshare prices surge before and after matches, and the official parking lots require advance reservations that sell out quickly. A party bus is hands-down the best way to do it. We’ll get your whole crew to the stadium together, with room onboard for pre-game snacks, drinks, and even a Bluetooth speaker to blast “Verde!” chants. After the final whistle, skip the chaos outside while we handle the traffic and get everyone home comfortably.

No trip to Austin is complete without a night out on Sixth Street—and there’s no better way to do it than with a private party bus rental. Known as the “Dirty Sixth,” this downtown entertainment district is packed with bars, clubs, live music venues, and late-night eats, making it a favorite destination for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, and bar crawls of all kinds. Leave the driving to us while you hop between legendary spots like Maggie Mae’s, The Parish, and Midnight Cowboy, or head west to the slightly more upscale “Warehouse District” for craft cocktails and rooftop lounges. With a party bus, you can pregame on the way downtown, store valuables securely onboard, and enjoy door-to-door service that keeps your entire group together until last call.

Famous for its string-light patios, food truck cuisine, and Victorian-era bungalows converted into cocktail bars, Rainey Street is another can’t-miss stop on any Austin nightlife tour. But if you’ve tried getting there with a group, you know the logistics are rough: street parking is almost nonexistent, rideshares get stuck in congestion, and walking from downtown means crossing busy intersections late at night. Book a party bus instead. We’ll drop your group near the north or south end of Rainey, wait while you hit favorites like Banger’s Sausage House, Lucille Patio Lounge, and Half Step, then shuttle everyone out together when it’s time to move on. It’s simpler and way more fun than splitting up into separate cars.

One of the best things about living in—or visiting—Austin is how close you are to the Texas Hill Country, home to dozens of award-winning wineries, craft breweries, and distilleries set amid rolling limestone hills and scenic rivers. Towns like Dripping Springs, Driftwood, and Spicewood are less than an hour’s drive from downtown but feel a world apart, offering rustic tasting rooms, vineyard tours, and outdoor patios perfect for a day of sipping and relaxing with friends. Of course, someone still has to drive—or you can make it easy by renting a party bus. We regularly take groups out to famous stops like Salt Lick BBQ (bring your own beer/wine), Hamilton Pool Preserve (reservations required), Jester King Brewery, and Duchman Family Winery, customizing the route to hit as many locations as you want. There’s storage onboard for picnic baskets and cases of wine, plus leather seats and Bluetooth sound systems to keep the good times rolling between stops.

Circuit of The Americas (COTA) is a world-class motorsports and entertainment complex located about 15 miles southeast of downtown Austin. Best known as the home of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, COTA also hosts MotoGP, NASCAR, major music festivals, and concerts at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater. Large-scale events here draw massive crowds, and while the venue is accessible via SH-130 and FM 812, on-site parking requires advance purchase and often involves long walks to the main gates. A party bus is the best way to travel to COTA, allowing your group to stay together, avoid multiple parking fees, and enjoy tailgating before the event. We’ll handle the traffic and coordinate drop-off and pick-up at designated bus areas, ensuring a smooth experience whether you’re attending a race, concert, or corporate event.

Located about 20 miles northwest of downtown Austin, Lake Travis is a 64-mile-long reservoir on the Colorado River known for its clear blue water, limestone cliffs, and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Popular activities include boating, swimming, zip-lining, and visiting lakeside restaurants and bars such as The Oasis, which offers stunning sunset views from its multi-level patio. Getting to Lake Travis typically involves a drive along RM 620 or Highway 2222, both of which can become congested on weekends and holidays. Parking at popular access points and marinas is limited and often fills up early. Renting a party bus is a convenient way to transport large groups to the lake for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or corporate outings. You can store coolers, towels, and water sports equipment onboard, and everyone has a designated driver for the return trip to Austin.

The Domain NORTHSIDE is a high-end shopping, dining, and entertainment district located in North Austin, about 11 miles from downtown. Home to luxury retailers, trendy restaurants, and bars, it’s a popular destination for everything from bachelorette parties to corporate outings. The area is walkable but sprawling, and parking garages can fill up quickly during peak hours or special events. A party bus provides a hassle-free way to get your group to and from The Domain, with curbside drop-off and pickup so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot or designating a sober driver. It’s also an excellent option for bar crawls or progressive dinners, allowing you to hit multiple venues in one night without splitting up the party.

Several factors can affect the price of your party bus rental in Austin, including the size and type of vehicle you choose, the length of your trip, the number of stops on your itinerary, and the time of year you’re traveling. Major events like ACL Fest, SXSW, F1 weekend, or UT football games can lead to higher rates due to increased demand. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver gratuity may also apply. For example, if you’re booking a party bus during a busy weekend when there’s a festival downtown and a game at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, prices will be higher than on a regular weekday.

You should book your Austin party bus as soon as you know your event date—ideally at least 4–6 weeks in advance, and even earlier if your trip falls during a busy season. In Austin, demand for party buses spikes around major events like SXSW, ACL Festival, Formula 1 weekend, and University of Texas football games. Spring and fall are especially busy due to the city’s festival calendar and wedding season. If you wait until the last minute, you may have fewer vehicles to choose from and could end up paying higher rates. Once you have your date and a rough itinerary, lock in your reservation with a deposit—you can always update the details later.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost, but this can vary depending on the size of the vehicle and the details of your trip. Full payment is due no later than 30 days before the date of your event. If you’re booking less than 30 days in advance, the entire balance will be due at the time of reservation. We accept all major credit cards and can arrange alternative payment methods if needed. Your reservation isn’t confirmed until we receive the deposit and you sign the rental agreement.

Your quote includes the base rental rate for your party bus, plus fuel and standard insurance. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations (if applicable) are not included in the initial quote and will be billed separately. For example, if your itinerary includes a stop at Q2 Stadium or Moody Center, be aware that parking passes can range from $25 to $75 depending on the event. Venues like the Austin Convention Center and Circuit of the Americas may also charge premium rates for oversized vehicle parking. It’s important to factor these potential extra costs into your budget when planning your trip.
