40 Passenger Party Bus

Standard amenities on a 40-passenger party bus include multiple flat-screen TVs (32”–50”), a powerful sound system with subwoofers and Bluetooth connectivity, color-changing LED or fiber optic lighting throughout the ceiling and floor, two or three large wet bars with built-in coolers or ice chests, wraparound perimeter seating upholstered in custom leather or vinyl, and one or two removable dance poles. Additional features may include mirrored ceilings, hardwood or laminate flooring, tinted windows for privacy, USB charging ports, and a rear luggage compartment for storing backpacks or small suitcases. If you have specific requests such as a particular lighting color, extra cooler space, or an upgraded sound system, let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

The cost to rent a 40-passenger party bus in Oakland typically ranges from $200 to $400+ per hour on weekdays, $220 to $450+ per hour on weekends, or $1,400–$2,600 per day depending on the exact vehicle, pickup location, and length of the trip. Your quote will include the bus, driver, fuel, and standard gratuity, but does not cover additional expenses such as parking fees at venues, bridge tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver if an overnight stay is required outside the Bay Area. Final pricing is based on several factors including the exact pickup address, total mileage, duration of the rental, and current availability. For the most accurate estimate, please call our office with your full itinerary so we can provide a custom quote tailored to your specific needs. We pride ourselves on offering some of the best rates in the industry and will work with you to get you a package that fits your budget. Peak season rates may apply during prom season, holidays, or major sporting events, so booking early is always recommended.

The 40-passenger party bus is one of the largest and most luxurious options available in our fleet, offering significantly more space and amenities than smaller party buses while providing a completely different experience compared to traditional charter buses or minibuses. Unlike standard motorcoaches, which are designed primarily for seated transportation with forward-facing rows and limited entertainment features, the party bus features wraparound perimeter seating, open floor space for dancing, multiple flat-screen TVs, a high-end sound system, color-changing LED lighting, and built-in wet bars, making it ideal for social events where passengers want to stand, mingle, and move around during the trip. Smaller party buses (20–30 passengers) offer similar amenities but with less overall capacity and floor space, while larger vehicles like 45- or 50-passenger buses may be available for groups that need even more room. If you’re unsure which size or style is best for your event, our team can help you compare options based on your headcount, budget, and itinerary.

We recommend booking your 40-passenger party bus as early as possible to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons such as spring prom/graduation months, summer wedding season, or around major events like San Francisco Pride and Bay to Breakers. A lead time of at least 3–6 months is ideal for securing your first-choice vehicle and date, though last-minute reservations can sometimes be accommodated if inventory permits. Larger groups and those with specific pickup times or multiple stops will benefit from locking in their contract well ahead of time to avoid scheduling conflicts. Keep in mind that demand tends to spike whenever schools are out of session or when large public gatherings are scheduled, which can quickly deplete available stock across the region.
