Prom Night Transportation Parents Can Trust
A prom party bus is a chauffeured bus with party lighting, a sound system and lounge seating that takes a group of students together to photos, dinner, the prom venue and home. It is often safer and simpler than a line of cars: one professional driver, one schedule parents can see in advance, and no teen drivers on the road on prom night.
Since 1997, Bus And Limos has driven Bay Area students to proms, homecomings, winter formals and graduation nights. Groups split the cost, ride together and arrive in style, while parents know exactly where the vehicle is going and when it will be back.

What Is a Prom Party Bus?
Quick answer: a prom party bus is a chauffeured vehicle, usually for 20 to 40 students, with party lighting, a sound system and lounge-style seating, that carries a prom group together from pickups and photos to dinner, the prom and home. Smaller groups often choose a limo Sprinter for up to 14 or a stretch limo for up to 10.
Is a Party Bus Safe for Prom?
Quick answer: yes. A chauffeured party bus is one of the safest ways for students to get to prom because a professional driver, not a teenager, is behind the wheel, the whole group stays together, and parents can review the full schedule and route before the night.

- One planned route with every pickup, stop and drop-off agreed in advance
- A parent or organizer contact our team can reach before and during the booking

How Much Does a Prom Party Bus Cost in the Bay Area?
Quick answer: prom party bus pricing depends on the bus size, the number of hours and your route. Prom season (April to June) and Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest, and most prom bookings have an hourly minimum. Because the whole group shares one vehicle, the per-student cost is often lower than people expect. For exact pricing, request a free quote or call (925) 315-7150.
- Group size: a 10-person limo costs less than a 40-person bus.
- Hours: most prom bookings run 4 to 6 hours.
- Stops: photos, dinner and after-prom add time.
- Date: book early, since popular prom Saturdays sell out.
Which Prom Vehicle Is Right for Your Group?
| Group size | Best vehicle | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 2–6 students | Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes S-Class | Elegant ride for a couple or small group |
| 6–10 students | Stretch limo or Navigator limo | Classic prom arrival |
| 10–14 students | Limo Sprinter party bus | Stand-up headroom, room for gowns |
| 20–26 students | 20 or 26 passenger party bus | The most popular prom choice |
| 30–40 students | 30, 35 or 40 passenger party bus | Big friend groups, one schedule |

- Get a quote first for your date, hours and group size.
- Divide by the number of riders to get a per-student amount.
- Collect contributions early through one parent or organizer.
- Keep a waitlist in case someone drops out, so the cost per person stays the same.
