Chicago Party Bus Rentals

Home to both the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks, the United Center is one of the busiest arenas in the country—and a major destination for party bus groups! Catch an NBA or NHL game with your friends, or see top touring acts like Drake, Beyoncé, or Bruce Springsteen when they come through town. With seating for over 20,000 and a packed event calendar year-round, this venue always draws big crowds. Arriving by party bus means you won’t have to worry about expensive parking or navigating traffic around Madison Street; instead, your whole group can get dropped off together right at the entrance and picked up afterward without any hassle. It’s the best way to experience a concert or sporting event in Chicago’s biggest indoor arena.

For baseball fans, there’s no better destination than Wrigley Field. Home of the Chicago Cubs, this historic ballpark has been hosting games since 1914 and is surrounded by the lively Wrigleyville neighborhood full of bars, restaurants, and live music venues. Catch a Cubs game with your friends, join the crowd at Gallagher Way for pre- or post-game festivities, or even attend a summer concert inside the stadium—past performers include Pearl Jam and Lady Gaga. Getting there by party bus means you won’t have to deal with limited parking or crowded CTA trains; instead, you’ll get dropped off close to the action and have a comfortable ride home after the final inning or encore. Wrigley Field is a must-see for sports lovers and anyone looking to soak up classic Chicago energy.

Another iconic sports venue, Soldier Field is the home of the Chicago Bears and hosts major concerts, soccer matches, and festivals throughout the year. Located on the lakefront near downtown, it’s a popular destination for large groups heading to big events. Recent headliners have included Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and international soccer clubs like FC Barcelona. The surrounding Museum Campus offers great views and additional attractions like the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium. Getting there by party bus makes attending a Bears game or concert much easier, since you won’t have to worry about parking or traffic around the stadium.

If your group loves thrill rides and water slides, Six Flags Great America in Gurnee is worth the trip! This massive amusement park features roller coasters like Goliath and Raging Bull, family-friendly attractions, live entertainment, and the Hurricane Harbor water park—all included with admission. It’s a favorite destination for birthday parties, youth groups, and company outings looking for a full day of excitement. Booking a party bus means everyone can travel together, store their belongings safely while they ride, and relax on the way back after hours of fun in the sun. With no need to designate drivers or split into multiple cars, your whole group can make the most of everything Six Flags has to offer.

Located about 30 miles south of downtown Chicago, the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park is one of the largest outdoor music venues in the region. With a capacity of over 28,000, it regularly hosts major summer tours across genres—from country stars like Luke Bryan to rock bands like Foo Fighters and pop acts like Lizzo. The lawn seating area is perfect for groups who want to spread out and enjoy a picnic-style concert experience, while reserved seats get you closer to the stage. Because the venue is outside city limits, driving back after a late show can be challenging—especially if anyone’s been drinking. A party bus solves that problem by providing round-trip transportation so everyone gets home comfortably.

When it comes to nightlife, few neighborhoods can match the energy of River North. This downtown district is packed with trendy bars, upscale lounges, dance clubs, and late-night eateries that attract crowds every weekend. Popular spots include Tao Chicago, Underground, and Howl at the Moon, but there are dozens of other options within walking distance. A party bus lets your group hop between venues without worrying about taxis or rideshares, and gives you a place to store coats or take a break from the action. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bachelor/bachelorette party, or just a night out with friends, River North offers endless possibilities for fun.

Music lovers won’t want to miss a trip to Ravinia Festival, located in Highland Park about 20 miles north of Chicago. As the oldest outdoor music festival in the United States, Ravinia hosts a diverse lineup of classical, jazz, rock, and pop concerts every summer in a beautiful park setting. Bring a blanket and picnic basket to enjoy the show from the lawn, or reserve seats in the pavilion for closer views of the stage. Past performers have included the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, John Legend, and Sheryl Crow. Because the venue is outside city limits and shows often end late, taking a party bus is a convenient way to get there and back without having to drive or navigate Metra schedules.

For groups based in the western suburbs, downtown Naperville offers a vibrant destination with plenty to see and do. The area around Water Street and Jefferson Avenue is filled with restaurants, bars, shops, and entertainment venues like the Century Walk public art collection. Enjoy dinner at a riverfront patio, catch live music at a local pub, or simply stroll along the scenic Riverwalk. Naperville’s nightlife scene is popular with both residents and visitors, making it a great spot for birthday parties, alumni gatherings, or double dates. Arriving by party bus means you can skip the search for parking and focus on having a good time.

One of Chicago’s most popular attractions for all ages, the Shedd Aquarium houses thousands of aquatic animals from around the world—including beluga whales, sea turtles, sharks, and penguins. Special exhibits like “Wild Reef” and “Amazon Rising” offer immersive experiences, while daily presentations feature divers and trainers interacting with marine life. The aquarium frequently hosts after-hours events such as Jazzin’ at the Shedd, where guests can enjoy live music and cocktails with stunning views of the skyline. Booking a party bus makes it easy for school groups, scout troops, or corporate teams to visit together without worrying about downtown parking.

Try your luck at one of several casinos located within driving distance of Chicago. Options include Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, and Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana. Each offers a full slate of table games, slot machines, dining options, and live entertainment. A party bus allows your group to enjoy the gaming floor and nightlife without having to worry about driving home afterward. It’s a popular choice for bachelor parties, birthday celebrations, or just a fun night out with friends hoping to hit the jackpot.

The cost of renting a party bus in Chicago typically ranges from $170 to $400+ per hour on weekdays and $190 to $500+ per hour on weekends, with daily rates between $1,800 and $3,800+ depending on the size of the vehicle and length of the trip. For longer trips, some companies charge by the mile, usually between $6.00 and $9.95 per mile. Final pricing depends on several factors including the size of the bus, distance traveled, duration of the rental, and time of year. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our office with your exact itinerary details.

Smaller 15- 20 passenger party buses generally fall at the lower end of the price range, while larger 40-50+ passenger buses with premium amenities will be at the higher end. For multi-day trips or out-of-state charters, daily and mileage rates will apply. Additional fees may include tolls, parking, and gratuity for the driver.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a party bus in Chicago, including the size and type of vehicle, the length of the rental, the distance traveled, and the time of year. Larger buses with more amenities will cost more than smaller, basic models. Rentals during peak times—such as weekends, holidays, or major events like Lollapalooza, St. Patrick’s Day, or a Bears game at Soldier Field—may be subject to higher rates due to increased demand. The pickup location also plays a role; if the bus has to travel a significant distance from its base to your starting point, additional charges may apply. Multi-day trips or out-of-state charters will be priced accordingly. For example, a 4-hour rental on a Saturday night in downtown Chicago will cost more than a 2-hour weekday rental in a nearby suburb. Always ask for a detailed quote that outlines all potential costs.

You should book your Chicago party bus at least 6–12 months in advance if your trip falls between April and June (peak wedding and prom season), September–November (football season), or during major events like Lollapalooza, the Chicago Marathon, or St. Patrick’s Day. These are the busiest times of year for party bus rentals in Chicago, and the best vehicles will sell out quickly. For trips outside of these peak times, we recommend booking 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited to whatever is still available.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to reserve your vehicle. The deposit amount will be specified in your contract and is typically a percentage of the total rental cost. Full payment is due prior to the date of service. We accept all major credit cards, as well as ACH transfers for corporate clients. The reservation is not confirmed until the deposit has been received and the contract has been signed. Failure to pay the balance in full by the due date may result in cancellation and forfeiture of the deposit.

For events at major venues, be aware that parking passes are not included and must be purchased separately—Soldier Field bus parking is $160, United Center is $60–$100, and Wrigley Field is $80–$120 depending on the event.
