Question 1

How many passengers fit in a party bus?

Accepted Answer

Across the Pitt Party Bus fleet, anywhere from two to thirty passengers. We operate thirteen vehicles in Pittsburgh: party buses at twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-six, twenty-eight and thirty passengers, Ford mini party buses at twelve and fourteen, a Denali SUV limo taking ten to fourteen, a Lincoln Town Car for two to six, luxury shuttles at fourteen and twenty-three, and Ford Expedition and Lincoln Continental private cars for smaller groups. The stated capacity is a seated capacity, so it assumes people sitting rather than standing. A useful rule when choosing: a vehicle at its nominal capacity in January, with everybody carrying a winter coat, feels considerably tighter than the same vehicle in June. If your headcount sits right on a boundary, take the larger vehicle.

Question 2

What size party bus do I need for 10 people?

Accepted Answer

For ten people, a twelve or fourteen passenger Ford mini party bus is the usual Pitt Party Bus answer, and the Denali SUV limo is the alternative if you want something that looks more formal on arrival. Both give ten passengers room to sit comfortably with coats and bags rather than filling every seat exactly. The mini bus is the better choice for a Pittsburgh night out with several stops, because getting in and out is easier and there is more floor space; the SUV limo suits a wedding arrival or a formal dinner better. Both sit at the lower end of our $150 to $250 hourly range with a three-hour minimum, so a straightforward evening for ten starts around $450 before gratuity.

Question 3

What size party bus do I need for 15 people?

Accepted Answer

Fifteen is the awkward number, and it is worth getting right. It is one over our fourteen-passenger mini party bus and shuttle, so the honest recommendation from Pitt Party Bus is a twenty-two passenger party bus rather than trying to squeeze into the smaller vehicle. That gives fifteen people in Pittsburgh genuine room for coats, bags and moving around during the trip, which across a four or five hour evening makes a real difference. It also gives you headroom if a couple of extra people join, which happens more often than groups expect. The twenty-two passenger bus sits in the middle of our $150 to $250 hourly range with a four-hour minimum, so budget accordingly rather than pricing the mini bus and being disappointed.

Question 4

What size party bus do I need for 20 people?

Accepted Answer

A twenty-two or twenty-four passenger party bus is the right fit for twenty people. Booking exactly to capacity is the most common mistake we see in Pittsburgh: twenty people in a twenty-passenger vehicle means nobody has anywhere to put a coat, and on a winter night that is not a small problem. Twenty-two to twenty-four gives you the margin. Pitt Party Bus also runs twenty-six, twenty-eight and thirty passenger buses if your group is likely to grow, and for a wedding party the larger option is often worth it because of dresses, suit bags and a photographer's equipment. These sit in the upper part of our $150 to $250 hourly range with a four-hour minimum. Tell us the real headcount and we will size it.

Question 5

What is the largest party bus available in Pittsburgh?

Accepted Answer

The largest vehicle in the Pitt Party Bus fleet is our thirty passenger party bus, which is the biggest we operate in Pittsburgh. It carries twenty-six to thirty passengers with premium leather seating, an LED light show system, a high-end sound system, a full bar with coolers and dedicated dance floor space. It sits at the top of our $150 to $250 hourly range with a four-hour minimum. If your group is larger than thirty, the practical solution is two vehicles rather than one — commonly a thirty passenger bus paired with a twenty-three passenger luxury shuttle, which is usually cheaper than it sounds because the shuttle rate is lower. Give us your total headcount and we will price both options so you can compare.
