Yes, we have a great selection of party buses available in Flagstaff, ranging from 10 to 50 passengers. These vehicles are perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties on Historic Route 66, birthday celebrations, prom nights, or just a night out with friends. Features include perimeter seating, LED lighting, multiple TVs, high-powered sound systems, dance poles, and wet bar areas. You can cruise around downtown Flagstaff, hit the bars on Aspen Avenue, or take a scenic drive through Oak Creek Canyon—all while enjoying the ultimate mobile party experience.
A charter bus is a full-size coach that seats 40 to 56 passengers and is designed for long-distance travel with plenty of storage and onboard amenities. A minibus is a smaller vehicle that holds 15 to 35 passengers, ideal for short trips or shuttle service where tight turns and limited parking are a concern (like navigating NAU’s campus or downtown streets). A party bus is built for entertainment, with lounge-style seating, open floor space, and premium audio/visual equipment. While charter buses and minibuses focus on point-to-point transportation, party buses prioritize the experience inside the vehicle.
Flagstaff has several designated areas for bus parking and passenger loading/unloading. Popular spots include the downtown transit center on Phoenix Avenue, the visitor center at Heritage Square, and large lots at Fort Tuthill County Park or NAU’s Skydome. For tourist attractions like Lowell Observatory or Walnut Canyon, there are specific zones for charter buses to drop off guests safely. If your itinerary includes multiple stops, we recommend contacting each venue in advance to confirm their policies. Our team can also help coordinate logistics based on your schedule.
Your quote covers the use of the vehicle for the specified time and distance, plus all standard amenities onboard. Optional upgrades like premium Wi-Fi, additional TV monitors, or custom interior lighting are available upon request. There are no hidden fees—what you see is what you pay. If your trip requires overnight stays outside of Flagstaff, please note that you will be responsible for providing accommodations for the driver. Tolls, parking permits, and gratuities are not included unless otherwise specified. If you have any questions about what’s covered, just ask!
We recommend booking your bus as early as possible, especially if you’re planning a trip during peak season (spring/summer for Grand Canyon tours, fall for NAU homecoming, or major festival weekends like Pickin’ in the Pines). Ideally, reserve your vehicle at least 3 to 6 months ahead of your event to ensure the best selection and pricing. Last-minute bookings are possible, but availability may be limited—particularly for specialty vehicles like party buses or sprinter vans. If you have a fixed date and large group, don’t wait to secure your transportation.
