Bus Rental with Driver — Every Bus, Every Time
Searching “with driver” means you've seen the self-drive rental fine print. Good instinct. Here, the chauffeur isn't an add-on — it's the whole point.
What You Get: Buses for 10 to 40 Passengers, Driver Included
Every bus below comes with a licensed chauffeur, fuel, and the amenities already on board. Pick by group size:
- 10 to 16 passengers — Tornado (10) and Thunder (16): the right size for a dinner run, a wine day, or a small bachelor or bachelorette party.
- 20 to 30 passengers — Wildfire (22), Fireball (25), Storm (29) and Tsunami (30): birthdays, office outings, game-day shuttles.
- 32 to 40 passengers — Raven (32) and Earthquake (40): weddings, big celebrations, and corporate groups that want everyone on one bus.
On every bus: Bluetooth sound, flat-screen TVs, LED and laser lighting, leather wraparound seating, tinted privacy windows, karaoke, and an iced bar area. Wireless mics, a cooler, and a custom banner can be added to any booking.
What it costs: most bus rentals with a driver run from $150 to $250 per hour depending on the bus size and the day of the week, with a weekend minimum of a few hours. Gratuity is included in every quote, so the price you see is the price you pay. Get an exact quote — it takes about a minute.
Why the Driver Changes Everything
A bus rental with a driver means nobody in your group needs a CDL, nobody navigates, nobody stays sober against their will, and nobody hunts for parking in Georgetown. Our chauffeurs are licensed, insured professionals who run these exact routes every weekend — you bring the people, we bring everything with wheels.
It also means the vehicle can be better than a rental lot box: sound systems, LED lighting, social seating — from a 10-passenger up to the 40-passenger Earthquake.
