40 Passenger Party Bus

Every 40-passenger party bus comes standard with wraparound leather or vinyl seating, multiple flat-screen TVs, a powerful sound system with subwoofers, Bluetooth and AUX connectivity, color-changing LED lighting, hardwood or laminate flooring, one or two wet bars with built-in coolers, a full-size restroom at the rear, and optional features like strobe lights, laser effects, and PA microphones. Additional amenities include USB charging ports, storage cabinets, and cup holders at every seat.

The cost to rent a 40-passenger party bus in Chula Vista typically ranges from $200 to $400+ per hour on weekdays, $220 to $450+ per hour on weekends, and $1,400 to $2,600 per day. This price includes the bus, driver, and standard amenities, but does not cover additional expenses such as parking passes, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—those costs will be billed separately if applicable. Several factors can affect the final price of your rental, including the length of the rental (hourly vs. daily rate), the time of year (peak season rates may apply), the exact pickup and drop-off locations, and current availability of vehicles. Because pricing can vary significantly based on these factors, it’s important to get a custom quote for your specific trip by calling our office or using our online quote tool. Be sure to provide your full itinerary, including all pickup and drop-off addresses, start and end times, and any special requests, so we can give you an accurate estimate.

The 40-passenger party bus is one of the largest and most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering significantly more seating capacity and interior space than smaller options like the 20- or 30-passenger models. Unlike traditional charter buses or minibuses, which feature forward-facing seats and a more conventional layout, the party bus is designed with wraparound, perimeter seating that creates an open, social environment ideal for celebrations and group events. It also comes equipped with premium amenities such as multiple flat-screen TVs, a powerful sound system with subwoofers, Bluetooth and AUX connectivity, color-changing LED lighting, hardwood or laminate flooring, one or two wet bars with built-in coolers, and a full-size restroom at the rear—features that are either optional or unavailable on other bus types. This makes the 40-passenger party bus particularly well-suited for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate outings, and any event where passengers want to stand, dance, and interact while in transit.

You should book your 40-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability—especially if your event falls during peak season or coincides with a major local event. In Chula Vista and the greater San Diego area, spring and summer are the busiest times of year due to wedding season, graduations, and large-scale events like Comic-Con, which can make it difficult to secure a vehicle on short notice. If your trip overlaps with a holiday weekend, concert, or sporting event, it’s even more important to reserve early, as demand for larger buses often exceeds supply. Last-minute bookings may still be possible depending on availability, but you’ll have the best selection of vehicles and the most flexibility with pricing if you lock in your reservation well ahead of time.
