Proms & Homecoming

Safe, supervised prom transportation with a professional driver. Parents love it, students love it more. Our prom packages ensure everyone arrives on time and gets home safe.

"Booked the 40-passenger bus for my bachelor party — Wrigleyville crawl hitting 5 bars. Driver knew exactly where to go, sound system was insane, and BYOB saved us hundreds. Best decision I ever made. Thanks Royal Carriage."

"Used the 30-passenger bus for my 30th birthday. River North bar crawl, 5 hours, 22 friends. The LED lights set the mood perfectly. Our driver was patient, hilarious, and got us VIP entry at two clubs. Will 100% book again."

"Rented the 50-passenger mega bus for our company holiday party. West Loop stops, ended at a private venue. Corporate billing handled everything, the team had an amazing time. Already reserved for next year."

How much does party bus rental cost in Chicago?

Chicago party bus rental starts at $150/hr for a 20-passenger bus and scales to $350/hr for a 50-passenger mega bus. Most groups rent for 4–6 hours. Weekend evening packages (Friday/Saturday, 4 hrs+) often offer savings over hourly billing. BYOB is included at no extra cost. Call Royal Carriage at (224) 801-3090 for a custom quote.

What is the minimum rental time for a party bus in Chicago?

The standard minimum booking is 2 hours. For peak nights (Friday/Saturday) and large groups (40+ passengers), a 3-hour minimum may apply. Day rentals for proms and corporate events can be booked by the block with flexible windows.

Can I bring my own alcohol on a Chicago party bus?

Yes — BYOB is welcome on all Royal Carriage party buses for passengers 21 and over. We provide coolers, ice, plastic cups, and bottle openers. Glass bottles are not permitted for safety. No glass rule applies strictly. If you prefer a bartender or pre-stocked wet bar service, that can be arranged for an additional fee.

How many people fit on a party bus?

Our fleet covers groups from 20 to 50 passengers: 20-passenger mini party bus, 30-passenger standard, 40-passenger large, and 50-passenger mega bus. For groups over 50, we can coordinate two vehicles running in tandem. Confirm your headcount at least 48 hours before your booking so we size correctly.

What areas of Chicago do you cover for party bus routes?

We service all of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Popular bar crawl routes hit River North, Wrigleyville, West Loop, Gold Coast, Wicker Park/Bucktown, and Lincoln Park. Concert routes cover United Center, Wintrust Arena, Allstate Arena, and Soldier Field. Custom pickup anywhere in the metro — from O'Hare suburbs to the South Side.

Do I need to plan the route in advance?

Not at all, but it helps. If you have preferred stops, let us know when you book and your driver will optimize the route. Spontaneous nights work fine too — our drivers know Chicago nightlife cold and can suggest stops based on your vibe, crowd size, and what's open.

What is included in the party bus rental?

Every rental includes: professional licensed chauffeur, premium Bluetooth sound system, programmable LED lighting, coolers with ice (BYOB), USB charging ports, clean interior, and real-time dispatch support. Wet bar add-ons, photo booth packages, and DJ services are available for an additional cost.

How far in advance should I book a party bus?

For Saturday nights during peak season (April–October), book 4–8 weeks out. Prom season (April–May) books 8–12 weeks in advance. Off-peak weeknight and Sunday bookings can often be secured within a week. Call (224) 801-3090 — we'll check real-time availability.
