Jamie RamsayWe were planning a birthday bash for my friend, and this year, we want to make it unforgettable. She has talked about wanting to ride a party bus for years, so we figured, why not make it happen now?
We searched high and low for the best party bus rentals in Vancouver, looking for ones that offer a complete package: music, space to dance, good lighting, and a driver who isn’t a buzzkill.
We compared the pricing, packages, and fleet of various local companies to find the best ones. We even spoke to previous customers and spent hours checking local forums to ensure we get the full picture.
Here are the ones that stood out during our search and why we think they’re worth booking for your next celebration!
How much does it cost to rent a party bus in Vancouver?
A party bus in Vancouver may cost from $120 to $350 per hour. However, the final cost still depends on the bus size, capacity, and day. Basic party buses are cheaper than luxurious coaches.
1. Luxury Life Limousine
Address: 2391 McLennan Ave, Richmond
Contact Details: +16043128536
Operating Hours: Monday – Sunday: Open 24 Hours
Luxury Life Limousine stood out to us for its comprehensive fleet. From luxurious to classic vehicles, they have it. They also have a wide variety of bus sizes, ranging from 25 to 50 passengers.
Their party buses have limo-style U-seating, which is great for interaction. It’s also fully equipped with drink bars and entertainment features, like subwoofers and big screens.
Each bus also comes with a friendly driver. Many clients we spoke with praised Robin, noting that he’s always on time and ensures the needs of the guests are well taken care of.
What we also love about Luxury Life Limousine is that they accommodate multiple pick-ups and drop-offs. This is very convenient as guests no longer have to drive to one location.
Aside from that, we like that their limo buses are spotless, ensuring a comfortable experience for the guests.
Communication? They’re responsive to emails and phone calls. A client even said that they were also able to book with Luxury Life Limo at the last minute.
Even though the service was excellent, it’s still worth double-checking the actual seating layout and amenities before booking. A client said that they once booked for 25 to 30 people, but were provided with a bus that can only fit 23 people.
Clean and spacious
“I booked the party bus for my birthday and it was amazing!!!

Great customer service
“High praise to Vick & Luxury Life Limo! Great customer service right from beginning to end and the best rates compared to other companies. We just rented a party bus for my son’s 19th birthday and their driver Robin was amazing! He was so friendly and made them all feel welcome. It was a comfort knowing that the kids were well taken care of by him! Would highly recommend this team to anyone for car service and we look forward to using them for another event in the spring. Thank you!”

2. Ritz Limousines
Address: 1039 E 63rd Ave
Contact Details: +16049377480
Operating Hours:
- Monday – Saturday: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM
- Sunday: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Ritz Limousines has been providing transportation services for the past 20 years. From wedding limousines to party buses, they have it all in one place.
Their party bus rentals range from limo buses to executive vans, catering to a wide range of party sizes. They can accommodate 16 to 40 passengers, making them flexible for any occasion.
We also appreciate their transparent pricing. They have rentals starting at $200 per hour, which we find reasonable. In fact, we find it cheaper than the other rental companies.
Another plus for us is their hassle-free communication. Their phone staff is super friendly and personable, which makes the inquiry process non-intimidating.
Their drivers are also punctual and great to deal with. A client said that their driver, Raman, helped their two friends in wheelchairs on and off the bus.
The vehicle is well air-conditioned, clean, and has a beautiful touch design for parties. It has nice lighting, screens, and great speakers, perfect for karaoke bonding.
One thing to note, though, is that they can mismatch vehicles. A client reported that the company failed to give their original limo and offered no proper solution afterwards, since they’re running out of time.
Great experience
“We had a great experience with Ritz. We had one of the party buses and Jay was our driver. Come pick up time, it was pouring, and Jay did his best to get as close as possible. Communication beforehand was clear with dispatch, Jay sent a text introducing himself and when he arrived. Everything went very smoothly. Would definitely recommend.”

Spotless and nice bus
“We used Ritz Limos for our wedding and had a great experience! Everything was on time, the booking process was smooth, and both the booking agent and our driver were wonderful to work with. The party bus was spotless, the sound system was easy to use, and the music sounded fantastic. Highly recommend!”

3. Vanlimo Limousine Service
Address: 1427 W King Edward Ave
Contact Details: +16047606527
Operating Hours: Monday – Sunday: Open 24 Hours
VanLimo Limousine Service is another reputable company founded in 2010. We felt reassured that their chauffeurs are fully trained and licensed to provide the safest transportation service.
From mini bus to luxury limo bus, Vanlimo has it. Their great variety of fleet makes it easy for clients to choose depending on the seating capacity and level of comfort they need.
Drivers are very accommodating and courteous, which is a huge plus for us. Clients shared that their driver took them on a very scenic ride and even knew exactly where to stop for quick bathroom breaks.
Their buses are also well-equipped with a high-quality sound system and epic lights that even kids love. That makes their buses perfect for all kinds of celebrations – be it a birthday bash or a family night out with the little ones.
However, since they’ve been in the industry for over a decade, expect that their pricing is on the higher side compared to other companies. Still, we can say that the service and vehicle quality make the splurge worth it.
Courteous and professional driver
“We needed a sprinter van to go to Whistler, Vanlimo was able to accommodate our party, the vehicle was clean the driver was courteous and professional the entire process was seamless would definitely recommend.”

Very accommodating driver
“Ricky was right on time and very accommodating for a birthday party with lots of hyped up kids”

4. Boss Limousine Service
Address: 105, 1515 Pemberton Ave #102, North Vancouver
Contact Details: +16047809030
Operating Hours: Monday – Sunday: Open 24 Hours
Boss Limousine Service stood out for the modern fleet it offers. From Ford limo buses to Freightliner M2 luxury limo buses, they have it.
However, since they’re luxury buses, expect them to be a bit expensive. But no worries because they also have other rentals ideal for graduation, night out, and birthdays, which are all reasonably priced.
This is what we also love about this company. They have varying rental services depending on the occasion and the number of guests. That means you don’t have to book something oversized or out of budget just to fit everyone.
Drivers? They have great communication and are on time. Clients we spoke with loved that drivers reach out via text or phone call to arrange pickup. They were also very patient and polite while waiting.
The company itself is also reliable. A client needed to rent a party bus last minute for his wedding. After calling companies, only Boss Limo responded and was able to save one party bus for him.
Great customer service
“Booked Boss Limos as the transportation to and from our wedding. We had one limo do a single trip to bring the grooms party to the wedding and a second limo do a round trip to/from the wedding for the bride and groom. Communication and customer service was great for booking and from the drivers.
The drivers were early and reached out via text/phone call to arrange pick up. Both were very patient and polite. I’d happily book with Boss Limos again in the future.”
– Mr. Sean Warwick, Google Review
Reliable service
“During my wedding I needed a to rent a party bus last minute and contacted a few companies that I was familiar with but no one had anything available. I finally got in touch with Boss Limos and they were able to save the day for me. They have large fleet of party buses and had one available for that evening. They were at my house within the hour of calling and booking them. They were very professional and made the whole process very simple. I highly recommend Boss Limos to anyone looking for reliable and professional service.”

5. Royal Limousine
Address: 8738 French St #209
Contact Details: +16047270950
Operating Hours: Monday – Sunday: Open 24 Hours
Royal Limousine caught our attention because of its wide service area. While they’re based in Vancouver, they also offer their services to other cities, including Langley and Abbotsford.
We also like that they have particular party bus rentals for graduation, birthdays, and even wine tours. That means they have specific vehicles dedicated to such events, which takes the guesswork out of choosing the right one for your occasion.
For instance, for birthdays, they have a limo by Krystal and Tiffany. Meanwhile, for other events, they have their executive limo ready with a mini bar and a complete sound system inside.
Their vehicles are clean and comfortable, paired with good drivers. Clients shared that their drivers are on time and good-humoured, which makes the service even more favourable.
They also accommodate urgent bookings. For instance, a client hired a royal limousine a day before he needed it. Plus, the driver was on time and polite.
However, we have to be honest that they don’t have as much fleet variety as other companies.
Polite driver
“I hired royal limousine in verybshort notice yesterday for our wedding. Driver was on time polite. he waited for us with smily face. as we were little late getting ready and his service is amazing. Thank you team keep up the good service.”
– Mr. Achutan Kanageswaran, Google Review
Awesome service
“I had the pleasure of having Mike and Royal Limousine Services be a part of the bachelorette I planned for my girlfriend. From email interactions, to taking my phone calls while I was sorting out the planning and then on the day of, Mike was a true professional and overall kind, helpful and prompt. I know we all had a great time (music, singing, pictures) in the fun, roomy, SUV limo the 6 of us got. Mike got us to each of the spots we planned out for her right on time and at the end of the night he got us each safely home. I couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks Mike and Royal Limousine, you’re awesome!”
