Types of Fort Lauderdale Party Buses, Charter Buses & Minibuses

The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right call for a smaller Fort Lauderdale group that wants a premium feel without booking a full party bus. Think bridal party pickup at The Riverside Hotel (620 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301), a VIP run to a suite at Amerant Bank Arena, or an executive transfer from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport straight to a waterfront hotel on A1A. Rates typically run $200–$325/hour on weekdays and $225–$350/hour on weekends.

Need to move a smaller group efficiently across Broward without the party bus footprint? A Sprinter van handles tight hotel drop-off lanes, the narrow loading areas at Bahia Mar Beach Resort, and the congested surface streets around downtown Fort Lauderdale without a second thought. It's a favorite for corporate airport runs, small wedding parties, and team transfers between venues.

Weekday hourly rates run $200–$275, with weekend hours coming in at $225–$375.

A 15-passenger party bus is the go-to for smaller Fort Lauderdale groups that want the full experience — LED lighting, a premium sound system, and wraparound seating — without paying for seats you don't need. Perfect for a birthday night through the bars on SW 2nd Street, a bachelorette run from Flagler Village to the beach strip, or a pregame shuttle to Hard Rock Stadium up I-95. Hourly rates run $200–$350 on weekdays and $250–$350 on weekends.

Step up to an 18-passenger party bus when the guest list grows past the 15-person mark and everyone still needs room to move. This size handles a mid-sized bachelorette group making stops along the Fort Lauderdale Beach corridor, a quinceañera party shuttling between a Coral Ridge venue and the reception hall, or a fan group heading north on I-95 to Amerant Bank Arena for a Florida Panthers playoff game. Weekday rates start around $275–$350/hour, with weekends at $275–$400/hour.

A 20-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot for Fort Lauderdale groups that have outgrown the smaller options but don't need a full 25-seat build. It's a natural fit for a corporate happy hour shuttle between the Broward County Convention Center and Las Olas restaurants, a Sweet 16 running between a Plantation venue and the beach, or a group of fans heading to Hard Rock Live in Hollywood for a concert night. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350, weekends $275–$350.

For mid-sized Fort Lauderdale groups, a 25-passenger party bus is the most-booked option — and for good reason. It comfortably handles a wedding shuttle circuit between a Riverside Hotel ceremony and a reception at the Signature Grand in Davie, a pub crawl itinerary that hits Funky Buddha Brewery, Big City Tavern, and the bars on Fort Lauderdale Beach, or a fan group charter to a Florida Marlins series at loanDepot park down I-595. Weekend hourly rates run $275–$375.

The 28-passenger party bus is the right size when 25 seats cuts it close and you'd rather have breathing room than cram an extra row. It's a strong pick for a corporate team outing at Revolution Live (100 SW 3rd Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312), a large birthday group moving between Lauderdale-by-the-Sea restaurants and the beach strip, or a multi-stop bachelorette itinerary through Wilton Manors and downtown. Hourly rates run $250–$350 on weekdays and $275–$375 on weekends.

A 30-passenger party bus steps in when the guest list is firmly in the 25–30 range and you need every seat accounted for without overflow. Church group outings to Sawgrass Mills Mall (12801 W Sunrise Blvd, Sunrise, FL 33323), large birthday groups hitting the waterfront bars along Fort Lauderdale Beach, and fan groups heading to Amerant Bank Arena — this is the vehicle for those trips. Weekend hourly rates run $325–$425, with per-day pricing from $2,350–$3,050.

When the event is big — think corporate holiday party, a large family reunion shuttle, or a convention group moving between the Broward County Convention Center (1950 Eisenhower Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316) and waterfront hotels along the New River — a 40-passenger party bus handles the headcount and keeps the energy up from the first stop to the last. Weekend rates run $325–$500/hour, with per-day availability from $2,300–$3,500 depending on the date and itinerary.

The 50-passenger party bus is the largest party vehicle in the network — built for Fort Lauderdale's biggest group occasions. Massive bachelorette weekends, large corporate outings during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in November, or sizable fan groups making the run down I-95 to Kaseya Center for a Heat playoff game all fit this vehicle perfectly. Weekday rates range from $300–$450/hour, with weekend pricing at $325–$500/hour.

The 15–35 passenger minibus is the practical backbone of Fort Lauderdale group transportation — no party amenities, just comfortable reclining seats, climate control, and overhead storage. It's the right pick for school field trips to the Museum of Discovery and Science (401 SW 2nd St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312), wedding guest shuttles between hotel blocks in downtown and a beachside reception, and corporate shuttles running between FLL and the convention center. Weekday rates start at $200–$250/hour.

The 40–56 passenger charter bus is built for Fort Lauderdale's largest group movements — undercarriage bays for luggage, onboard restrooms for long hauls, and enough seats to move an entire company, school group, or sports roster in one shot. Groups heading up Florida's Turnpike to Orlando, shuttling convention attendees across Broward County, or running a Port Everglades cruise embarkation transfer rely on this vehicle. Weekday and weekend hourly rates both run $200–$350, with per-day pricing from $1,350–$2,850.
