Start a Party Bus Business: Do I Need to Provide My Own Driver?

Do you want to enjoy an incredible night that keeps up the good times even when you're on your way to your destination and vice versa? Uptown Bus is ready to change the way you travel. Our party buses offer the best way to get to any club, concert or celebration. Combining convenience and safety with fun for everyone, every party bus has the amenities you need to keep the party going all night long. Starting a party bus business requires obtaining a number of licenses and permits from local, state and federal governments.

Unfortunately, Party Bus Chicago does not have a license to sell alcoholic beverages, so you'll have to bring your own. We charge by the hour, you'll be billed in 15-minute increments and you'll only pay for the time you use if you exceed the scheduled service time. In order to provide top quality vehicles and fresh-smelling interiors, all of our buses are smoke-free, we're sorry for the inconvenience and we'll be happy to stop when you need it. Unfortunately our travel radius is limited to Illinois at this time, but we hope to add more cities soon.

We would like the buses to be left in the condition in which they were received, and you can read more about that in our contract. We're happy to serve all of Illinois, so if you're looking for a service, give us a call. We booked pretty quickly, so be sure to call now and we'd love to make your reservation with a credit card deposit over the phone. If you think that your driver did everything possible to ensure your fun during the trip, we recommend that you give him an additional tip in any way you think is appropriate. Just give us a call and we'll return it to you.

Our buses are cleaned after every trip so that your belongings are safe if we find them. You can make the deposit over the phone with a credit card. In most states, to drive a commercial passenger vehicle, such as a party bus, you will need to obtain a class C driver's license. You can find more information about class C requirements and other driving requirements here. It's not impossible for an owner to start with just one bus that he drives himself, but usually owners hire qualified drivers right away.

If you initially only work with a bus and drive it yourself (you'll need a commercial driver's license), your profit margin will be approximately 70% after fuel, maintenance and insurance costs. Finally, since you'll probably drive the bus yourself, at least initially before earning enough to hire a driver, you'll need to purchase a commercial driver's license, which sadly means contacting the local DMV if you don't already have a commercial license. A specific business idea worth considering is having a bus for parties, as it has become the most elegant way to party, especially for people willing to do their best on special occasions, such as birthdays and bachelor parties. A party bus offers a whole new level of excitement and endless fun for passengers of all ages, mainly because they offer additional space and amenities that set them apart from regular vehicles and are in high demand when it comes to big parties. Now that the holidays are back on track, this is a great time to have fun and start a party bus business.
