Richmond Party Bus Rentals

Formerly known as the Richmond Raceway Amphitheater, Virginia Credit Union LIVE! is one of the city’s most popular outdoor concert venues. It hosts major touring acts across genres—rock, country, hip-hop, EDM—and draws huge crowds every summer. The location inside Richmond Raceway Complex means ample parking for oversized vehicles and easy access from I-64 and I-95. Groups love coming here because they can pregame on the bus, avoid expensive rideshares, and enjoy the show without worrying about how they’ll get home afterward. This is a top pick for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, or any fan group heading to see their favorite band play live under the stars.

If your group wants to try their luck at slots or horse racing, Rosie’s Gaming Emporium is the place to go. Located just off I-95 near Bells Road, this casino-style venue features hundreds of gaming machines, live simulcast wagering, and several bars/restaurants on site. It’s open late every night and frequently hosts special events or promotions that draw big crowds. A party bus makes it easy for everyone to arrive together, split winnings (or losses), and enjoy complimentary drinks without designating a driver. There’s plenty of parking for large vehicles and the staff is used to accommodating groups.

Shockoe Bottom is one of Richmond’s oldest and most vibrant nightlife districts. Centered around the intersection of 17th Street and Main Street, it’s packed with bars, clubs, restaurants, and music venues that stay busy until last call. Popular spots include Havana ’59 (rooftop cocktails), McCormack’s Irish Pub (karaoke), and Southern Railway Taphouse (craft beer). The area also hosts regular events like block parties and pub crawls that attract large crowds. Because parking is limited and DUI enforcement is strict, many groups choose to rent a party bus when spending a night out here. The bus can drop everyone off in the heart of the action and then stage nearby until it’s time to head home.

Located about an hour east of Richmond, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is a world-class theme park that’s perfect for groups looking to spend a day riding roller coasters and catching live shows. Highlights include the new Pantheon coaster, classic favorites like Apollo’s Chariot and Griffon, and seasonal events such as Howl-O-Scream and Christmas Town. The park welcomes charter buses and has dedicated drop-off zones near the main entrance. Riders appreciate being able to relax in reclining seats after a long day on their feet, watch movies on TV screens, or take a nap while someone else handles the drive back up I-64.

Just 20 miles north of downtown, Kings Dominion is a favorite destination for thrill-seekers and families alike. This amusement park features more than a dozen roller coasters—including Intimidator 305, Twisted Timbers, and Dominator—as well as Soak City waterpark (included with admission). Groups often charter a bus to spend the whole day riding attractions without worrying about traffic or parking fees. During Halloween Haunt and WinterFest, the park stays open late and draws even bigger crowds, making a party bus the most convenient way to travel. With storage space for coolers, backpacks, and change of clothes, this is an easy trip to plan with Richmond Party Bus Company.

About two hours southeast of Richmond, the Virginia Beach Oceanfront is a classic summer destination for groups who want to hit the beach, stroll the boardwalk, and enjoy live music at Neptune’s Park. The strip along Atlantic Avenue is lined with bars, restaurants, and nightclubs that cater to tourists and locals alike. Highlights include Peabody’s Nightclub, Catch 31 Fish House, and the rooftop at The Shack. There are also free concerts, fireworks, and festivals throughout the season. Traveling by party bus allows everyone to enjoy a few drinks, avoid expensive hotel rates, and sleep comfortably on the ride back to Richmond. Buses can drop off close to the action and then park in designated lots until it’s time to leave.

Located in the heart of downtown Richmond, The National is a historic theater that hosts concerts, comedy shows, and special events year-round. With a capacity of 1,500, it attracts big-name artists as well as up-and-coming acts across all genres. The venue features state-of-the-art sound and lighting, multiple bars, and a spacious dance floor. For groups attending a sold-out show, booking a party bus eliminates the hassle of finding parking or coordinating multiple cars. The bus can drop passengers right at the front door and wait nearby until the event is over. This is a popular choice for fan clubs, corporate outings, or friends celebrating a night out.

For something a little different, consider taking a party bus to Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield County. This 8,000-acre park offers hiking, biking, swimming, and picnicking in a beautiful natural setting. It’s a great spot for company retreats, family reunions, or outdoor adventure clubs. Groups can reserve picnic shelters, rent paddleboats, or attend concerts at the Heritage Amphitheater. After a day of exploring the trails and lakes, everyone will appreciate having a comfortable ride back to the city. The bus provides a place to store coolers, grills, and gear while keeping the group together and on schedule.

Richmond’s premier brewery and distillery district, Scott’s Addition is packed with tasting rooms, cideries, and craft cocktail bars perfect for a DIY beverage crawl. Favorites include The Veil Brewing Co., Ardent Craft Ales, Blue Bee Cider, and Reservoir Distillery. Many venues offer tours, live music, and food trucks, making it easy to spend an entire afternoon or evening sampling local flavors. Because the neighborhood is compact but parking can be tight, arriving by party bus lets your group hop between stops without splitting up or drawing straws for a designated driver. This is a top choice for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, or corporate social events.

The cost of renting a party bus in Richmond varies depending on the size of the vehicle, the length of the rental, and the time of year.

Daily rates typically range from $1,800 to $3,800+, while mileage-based pricing falls between $6.00 and $9.95 per mile. For example, a 20-passenger party bus might cost around $2,200 for a full day, while a larger 40-passenger bus could be closer to $3,800.

Several factors can influence the price of your party bus rental in Richmond, including the size and type of vehicle, the duration of the rental, the distance traveled, and the time of year. Larger buses with more amenities generally cost more than smaller, more basic models. Longer trips that require the bus to travel outside of the Richmond area—such as to Virginia Beach, Washington D.C., or Charlottesville—will also be more expensive due to increased mileage and fuel costs.

Peak seasons such as spring (for proms and weddings) and fall (for football games and homecomings) tend to have higher rates due to increased demand. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, or special requests such as multiple pick-up/drop-off locations.

It’s always best to book your party bus as early as possible, especially if your event falls during a busy time of year like wedding season (spring/summer), prom season (April/May), or around major events such as concerts and festivals. In general, we recommend reserving your bus at least 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure the best selection of vehicles and availability. For large events or peak dates, booking 2-3 months ahead is even better. Last-minute reservations are possible if we have availability, but you may have fewer options to choose from.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The remaining balance is typically due 30 days before the date of service. We accept all major credit cards, and electronic payments. Once your deposit is received, your contract will be finalized and the vehicle will be reserved for your exclusive use. Full payment must be made prior to the day of the event—no exceptions.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the party bus, driver compensation, and standard amenities such as sound system, lighting, and seating. It does not include gratuity for the driver, which is customary and appreciated. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and any damage or excessive cleaning charges are the responsibility of the renter. For example, if your itinerary includes stops at venues that require paid parking—such as the Altria Theater, The National, or City Stadium—those fees will be added to your final bill. Parking passes for events at larger venues like the Richmond Raceway or Virginia Credit Union LIVE! can range from $25 to $50 depending on the event. Please review your contract for a detailed breakdown of all included and excluded items.
