40 Passenger Party Bus

Standard amenities on our 40-passenger party buses include wraparound leather or vinyl seating, color-changing LED and fiber optic lighting, multiple flat-screen TVs (up to four), a powerful Bluetooth-capable sound system with subwoofers, DVD player, and AUX inputs, and large bar areas with built-in coolers or optional beverage stations. You’ll also get hardwood or custom flooring, mirrored ceilings, tinted windows for privacy, and optional upgrades like a rear restroom, dance pole, or upgraded audio/video packages depending on the exact model. We have several different models available, so if you want something specific—like a particular lighting package, seating layout, or entertainment option—just let us know when you call. We’ll make sure you get a bus that fits your needs and keeps everyone happy from start to finish.

The cost to rent a 40-passenger party bus in Chesapeake typically ranges from $200 to $400+ per hour on weekdays and $220 to $450+ per hour on weekends, with daily rates falling between $1,400 and $2,600 depending on the length of your trip, exact pickup location, and current availability. Your quote includes the bus itself, driver, fuel, and standard gratuity, but does not cover additional expenses like tolls, parking fees at venues, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—those will be billed separately if applicable. Because pricing is based on real-time supply and demand, rates may be higher during peak seasons, holidays, or when there are major events happening in the area, so it’s always best to contact us directly for an exact quote. To get an accurate price for your trip, call our team with details about your itinerary, including pickup and drop-off addresses, the number of passengers, and any special requests or stops along the way. We’ll provide you with a customized quote that breaks down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

Compared to other bus types in our fleet, the 40-passenger party bus offers a unique combination of capacity, comfort, and entertainment features that make it ideal for larger groups who want to travel together and have a good time on the road. While smaller minibuses and shuttle buses are great for airport transfers or corporate shuttles, they don’t have the same open floor plan, lighting, or sound system that you’ll find on a party bus. Full-size charter buses can seat more people (up to 56), but they’re designed for long-distance travel and lack the social layout and amenities that make a party bus so popular for weddings, proms, and nightlife events. If you’re looking for something that can handle big groups while still keeping the energy high, this is the best option available.

We recommend booking your 40-passenger party bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if your event falls during a busy season or coincides with a major local event that could impact availability. In Chesapeake and the surrounding Hampton Roads area, spring and summer are peak times due to wedding season, prom and graduation events, and popular festival weekends like the Chesapeake Jubilee or Neptune Festival in Virginia Beach. Fall weekends can also be busy with homecoming dances and football games, while winter holidays may see increased demand for corporate parties and New Year’s Eve celebrations. If you’re planning an out-of-town trip to a concert, sporting event, or destination wedding, keep in mind that regional events in nearby cities like Norfolk, Virginia Beach, or Richmond can also affect how quickly buses get booked. The sooner you reserve your bus, the better your chances of securing the date and vehicle you want at a competitive rate.
