40 Passenger Party Bus

Our 40-passenger party buses come loaded with amenities designed to keep your group comfortable and entertained for the entire trip. You’ll get multiple flat-screen TVs, a powerful sound system with Bluetooth and AUX inputs, color-changing LED lighting, and wraparound seating upholstered in either leather or high-quality vinyl. There’s also a built-in bar area with countertop space for drinks and snacks, hardwood-style flooring that’s perfect for dancing, and optional features like WiFi, USB charging ports, and upgraded audio packages. If you have specific requests—like a particular seating layout or additional lighting—we can often customize the bus to suit your needs.

The cost to rent a 40-passenger party bus in Columbia typically ranges from $200 to $400+ per hour on weekdays, $220 to $450+ per hour on weekends, and $1,400–$2,600 per day. Your quote includes gratuity but does not include parking passes at venues (which you purchase), tolls, or a driver’s hotel on overnights. Actual pricing may be significantly higher depending on availability and location. To get real-time pricing, call us or use our online quote tool. Final pricing depends on several factors including the exact date and time of your event, pickup location, total duration of the rental, and current availability in the market. Because party buses are in high demand and inventory is limited, especially during peak seasons or major events, it’s important to book early to lock in the best rate. For an exact price tailored to your trip, contact us directly with your itinerary details, or use our online quote tool to get real-time rates and availability.

The 40-passenger party bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering significantly more space and amenities than a standard minibus or shuttle bus, but with a completely different interior layout compared to a traditional charter bus. Unlike a coach bus, which features forward-facing seats and is designed primarily for long-distance travel or corporate transportation, the party bus has a custom interior with perimeter seating, open floor space, and a full suite of entertainment options including flat-screen TVs, a premium sound system, and color-changing LED lighting. This makes it ideal for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, sporting events, and any occasion where you want the trip itself to be part of the celebration. While it doesn’t have the same luggage capacity as a motorcoach, there is still room for bags and personal items, and the overall build quality and ride comfort are on par with the best vehicles in the industry. If you need something even larger, we also offer 50+ passenger party buses, as well as traditional charter buses, minibuses, and sprinter vans to accommodate groups of any size.

We recommend booking your 40-passenger party bus at least 3-6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best possible rate. This is especially important if your event falls during a busy time of year such as wedding season, prom season, or around major sporting events and holidays, when demand for larger vehicles is highest and inventory can quickly become limited. In Columbia, local events like University of South Carolina football games, graduation weekends, and popular concert or festival dates can significantly impact availability across the entire region—including neighboring cities like Lexington, Irmo, and Cayce—making it even more crucial to reserve early. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible if we have an open vehicle, but you’ll have the most options and the best chance of getting exactly what you want by planning ahead. Once you know your event date and approximate headcount, contact us right away to lock in your reservation; final itineraries and exact pickup times can be adjusted closer to the date if needed.
