25 Passenger Party Bus

Every 25-passenger party bus in our fleet comes standard with wraparound seating upholstered in durable vinyl or leatherette, color-changing LED lighting along the ceiling and floor, and a powerful sound system with Bluetooth connectivity and multiple speakers throughout the cabin. You’ll also get flat-screen TVs (typically two, one at the front and one at the rear), HDMI and USB inputs for video playback, and a hardwood or laminate dance floor area in the center aisle. Additional features include built-in beverage coolers or ice chests, tinted windows for privacy, and optional amenities like a rear luggage compartment or onboard restroom depending on the specific model. This is one of the most versatile and well-equipped midsize party buses available anywhere in South Carolina.

The cost to rent a 25-passenger party bus typically ranges from $150 to $320+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $340+ per hour on weekends, with full-day rates between $1,000 and $2,400 depending on the length and timing of your trip. Included in your quote is the base rental fee plus a standard gratuity for the driver, but you’ll be responsible for additional expenses such as parking passes at venues, tolls incurred during travel, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—those are not included in the base rate. Final pricing depends on several factors including the date and duration of your trip, pickup location, and current availability of vehicles. Because party buses are in high demand year-round, especially during wedding season and major sporting events, we strongly recommend calling us directly or using our online quote tool to get an accurate, real-time estimate for your specific event. Please note that while we strive to provide the most competitive rates in the industry, actual pricing may vary based on market conditions and vehicle availability.

The 25-passenger party bus sits right in the sweet spot between our smaller sprinter-style buses and the larger 30-40 passenger options, offering a perfect balance of capacity, comfort, and maneuverability. Unlike traditional minibuses or shuttle buses, this isn’t just a people-mover—it’s built for entertainment, with a full suite of audio-visual amenities, wraparound seating, and room to stand up and dance. Compared to our larger party buses, the 25-passenger model is easier to navigate through tight city streets and can access venues with limited parking or low clearances, but still has enough space for medium-sized groups and all their gear. It’s more affordable than the big 40-foot coaches but offers a similar experience in terms of lighting, sound, and overall vibe. If you don’t need room for 35-40 people, the 25-passenger bus gives you all the best features of a true party bus in a slightly smaller, more versatile package.

You should book your 25-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your event falls during peak seasons like spring wedding months, prom season, or major sporting events such as University of South Carolina home games. Columbia’s busiest times—including college football Saturdays, high school dance weekends, and summer concert series—can see buses reserved up to a year ahead, making last-minute availability limited and often more expensive. If your trip overlaps with large local events or holidays, securing your reservation even earlier is highly recommended to ensure you get the vehicle and schedule you want. While we do accommodate last-minute bookings when possible, planning several months ahead guarantees the best selection of buses, lock-in of current rates, and peace of mind leading up to your event.
