Illinois Party Bus Company Reviews
James S.
Booked a 20-passenger bus for a 12-mile Chicago brewery tour, and it was perfect. Driver showed up early, bus was spotless, and we hit every stop right on schedule. Best party-bus experience we’ve had.
Maria W.
Our group of 18 used them for a wedding shuttle from Naperville to Oak Brook. Zero delays, super clean bus, and amazing communication. Illinois Party Bus Company made the day stress-free.
Denvor T.
Took a 35-minute airport run from Schaumburg to O’Hare with a group of 10. The bus was pristine, driver texted ETA, and we arrived with time to spare. Way better than rideshares.
Lauren M.
Booked a 3-hour downtown Chicago nightlife loop for my birthday. Smooth ride, great sound system, and a driver who knew the city traffic better than anyone. Worth every penny.

Your estimate includes the bus, driver, fuel, and standard gratuity. Extra fees may apply for tolls, parking permits, or overnight accommodations for your driver.

How Does an 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus is a mid-size vehicle that bridges the gap between our larger party buses (seating 24–50+) and smaller options like sprinter limos or minibuses. It offers significantly more headroom, legroom, and storage space than a standard limousine or sprinter limo, making it ideal for groups of 15–18 people who want to travel together in one vehicle. Unlike a traditional charter bus or minibus, the party bus features a full wraparound seating layout with upgraded lighting, sound, and entertainment systems designed for social events and celebrations. If you need something larger or smaller, we offer party buses in multiple sizes—as well as charter buses, minibuses, and sprinter vans—so you can easily find the right vehicle for your group.
How Far in Advance Should I Book an 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rate. Demand for party buses—especially on weekends and during peak seasons like spring and summer wedding season, prom season, and major sporting events—can be extremely high, and prices will increase as vehicles sell out. If you’re planning a trip during a major event in your city (like a big game, concert, or festival), or if your event falls between April and June, it’s best to reserve your bus as early as possible. Once you have your date and general itinerary, put down a deposit to secure your vehicle; you can usually make minor adjustments to your reservation later if needed.
