Several factors determine the final cost of your bus rental: the type and size of bus you choose, how many days or hours you need it, how far you’re traveling, and what time of year you’re booking. For example, a weekend wedding shuttle from downtown Appleton to High Cliff State Park will cost less than a weeklong corporate charter to Chicago. Peak seasons like summer and fall tend to be more expensive due to higher demand from college sports, festivals, and tourism. Additional amenities like TVs, WiFi, or extra luggage space may also affect pricing. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your exact itinerary.

Yes, we have a great selection of party buses available for rent in Appleton and the surrounding area. Our party buses come in sizes ranging from 10 to 50 passengers, with popular options built by Krystal, Grech Motors, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks, and Executive Coach Builders. Features include wraparound leather seating, hardwood floors, color-changing LED lighting, powerful sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity, flat-screen TVs, and coolers or wet bars for drinks. These vehicles are perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, prom nights, or group outings to concerts and nightlife spots in downtown Appleton or Green Bay.

The main differences are size, capacity, and amenities. Minibuses seat 15 to 35 passengers and are ideal for short-distance trips or smaller groups. They’re easier to maneuver in city traffic and can access tighter streets or parking lots that full-size coaches can’t. Charter buses hold 40 to 56 passengers and come equipped with more features like onboard restrooms, larger luggage bays, multiple video monitors, and reclining seats with footrests. Both types of buses offer comfortable, climate-controlled interiors, but charter buses are better suited for long-distance travel or groups with lots of baggage.
