Celebrating a birthday party, prom party, bachelor party, night party, etc on a party bus rental is getting in trend. But, it is sometimes hard to find a good party bus service as there are dozens of companies operating in the city. In order to have a fun party experience, you need to be cautious in choosing a party bus service provider. Here are a few parameters to help you decide on a good party bus rental company.
Recommendations
The best way to stumble upon a good service provider is to seek recommendations. You can get these references from your friends or family. From them, you will receive an unbiased and honest opinion about the company. So, ask your groups if anyone hired a party bus service before and was their experience good with them.
Online Reviews
In today’s digital world, almost every company has an online presence. You can check reviews and ratings of the party bus company on Google, Facebook, Yelp, and Tripadvisor. The reviews and ratings of their past customers will help you to decide on the company.
Experience
Go with a company that is in the market for the past several years. An experienced company will be able to serve the customer in a better way. It is because they understand the taste and preferences of the customers.
Fleet
Usually, a good party bus service provider will have a wide-ranging fleet of limousines, party buses, SUVs, sedans, shuttles, and coach buses. When you go with a big company, you get more and better options to choose from. Try to avoid companies that offer cheap pricing and have just a bus or a limo.
Vehicle Inspection
There are several party bus rental companies that don’t have their own vehicles. They get bookings from their website, and they outsource these bookings to other companies while making some commission. Such companies use stock photos of vehicles on their websites. That is why, when you see the original vehicle, it’s totally different from the one you saw on the website. So, it’s better to check the vehicle in person before making bookings.
Rental Cost
Cost is one of the most crucial factors we consider before buying anything. The same goes while hiring a party bus. Generally, a party bus company will tell you the base fare of the vehicle, and that might look cheap at first glance. But, there are several addons that get added to the final bill. These addons can be fuel surcharge, driver’s gratuity, toll charges, administration charges, etc. These addons can increase 30% to your total bill. Therefore, it’s better to discuss all these addons before signing the contract with the transportation company.
Safety
Safety is even more important than the fee and fun. Confirm if the party bus rental company you are considering hiring is licensed and certified. Also, check whether they hold liability insurance for customer’s safety.
