30 Passenger Party Bus Pricing and Availability

The cost to rent a 30-passenger party bus typically ranges from $150 to $320+ per hour on weekdays, $150 to $340+ per hour on weekends, or $1,000–$2,400 per day for longer events and multi-day trips. Final pricing depends on several factors including the exact pickup location, destination, total duration of the rental, time of year, and current vehicle availability. Weekend bookings and special events may be subject to minimum hour requirements and higher demand rates. Your quote will always include the base rate plus a standard gratuity for the driver, but does not cover additional expenses such as parking fees at venues, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—those costs are the responsibility of the customer. Because pricing can vary significantly based on availability and location, we strongly recommend calling our office or using the online quote tool to get an accurate, real-time estimate for your specific event. We provide transparent, all-inclusive quotes upfront so you know exactly what to expect before you sign any contract.

Des Moines Party Bus Company Reviews

We had a wonderful experience with Des Moines Party Bus Company for our company holiday party! We booked a 50-passenger bus to take everyone from downtown offices to a restaurant in West Des Moines and back. The bus was clean, comfortable, and arrived right on time. Our driver was friendly, and made sure we stayed on schedule. It was so nice not having to worry about parking or winter driving conditions. Would definitely recommend this company for any large group transportation needs!

What an awesome company! I reserved a 20-passenger sprinter bus from Des Moines Party Bus Company for my friend’s bachelor's party in downtown Des Moines, and it was the best decision we made. The bus was new, clean, and had great A/C (which we needed in July). Our driver, Josh, was on time, super chill, and made sure everyone got home comfortably after hitting up the bars in the East Village. Will definitely use them again!

Fantastic and professional service! We booked a 40-passenger party bus for our company’s Christmas party downtown, and everything went perfectly. The driver showed up early, helped everyone get settled, and made sure we got to each stop on time. The bus was clean and super comfortable, with great sound system and lighting. Would definitely use Des Moines Party Bus Company again!

We rented a party bus from Des Moines Party Bus Company for my best friend’s bachelorette party in downtown Des Moines and it was SO worth it. They showed up early, the driver was super friendly, and the bus itself was clean and had amazing lights and sound system. We hit multiple bars without worrying about parking or getting separated. Would definitely use them again!

The 30-passenger party bus is perfect for medium-sized groups heading to weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, corporate outings, sporting events, concerts, proms, and bar crawls. It’s large enough to accommodate big groups but still maneuverable enough for city streets and tight venues. Popular uses include wedding shuttles between ceremony and reception venues, bachelor/bachelorette party trips to downtown nightlife districts, concert and festival transportation to Wells Fargo Arena or Iowa State Fairgrounds, tailgating at college and professional sporting events, and corporate outings or team-building events. With seating for up to 30 people and all the amenities needed for a great time, this is one of the most versatile and in-demand party buses on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions About our 30 Passenger Party Buses

Standard amenities on our 30-passenger party buses include full-length color-changing LED lighting, upgraded sound system with Bluetooth and AUX inputs, multiple flat-screen TVs, DVD player, HDMI input, wraparound seating, hardwood-style flooring, dance pole, mirrored ceiling, tinted windows, dual-zone HVAC, storage space for coolers and bags, PA microphone, 110V/USB charging ports, and optional audio upgrades with subwoofers and amplifiers. This is one of the best-equipped mid-size party buses available anywhere.

Hourly pricing is $150 to $320+ on weekdays, $150 to $340+ on weekends, and $1,000–$2,400 per day Included in your quote: Gratuity.

The 30-passenger party bus is larger than our 14- 20 passenger minibuses but smaller than a full-size charter bus, making it a versatile option for medium-sized groups. It offers more seating and standing room than a minibus, along with upgraded amenities like LED lighting, premium sound system, flat-screen TVs, and wraparound seating. Compared to a charter bus, the party bus has a more open floor plan and entertainment-focused features, but less luggage storage. It’s ideal for events where passengers want to socialize, dance, and enjoy the ride, rather than sit in forward-facing seats. The 30-passenger party bus is one of our most popular vehicles because it hits the sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and affordability.

You should book your 30-passenger party bus at least 3-6 months in advance to ensure availability, especially if your event falls during peak season or overlaps with a major local event. In Iowa, some of the busiest times of year include spring and summer wedding season (April–September), high school prom and homecoming weekends (May–June and September–October), college football Saturdays during the fall (September–November), and New Year’s Eve. Large-scale events like the Iowa State Fair in August, Drake Relays in April, RAGBRAI in July, and major concerts or sporting events at Wells Fargo Arena can also make it harder to reserve a bus on short notice. If your trip is happening during one of these busy periods, it’s a good idea to lock in your reservation as early as possible—once you sign the contract and submit your deposit, the vehicle is guaranteed for your date. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible if there’s still something available, but waiting until the week of your event means you’ll have fewer options and may end up paying a higher rate due to demand.
