Trips and Events in Wilmington a 40 Passenger Party Bus Is Great For
A 40-passenger party bus in Wilmington is perfect for moving large groups to any event, especially when you need to keep everyone on the same schedule and avoid parking hassles. Book one for a wedding party or rehearsal dinner at venues like Airlie Gardens or The River Room, where you can navigate tight downtown streets and limited parking while guests enjoy a bar, Bluetooth sound system, and wraparound seating. For corporate events or convention transportation to the Wilmington Convention Center, a party bus ensures your attendees arrive together and on time for breakout sessions, with onboard TVs and Wi-Fi for presentations. Sports fans can skip the long walk from PPD lot to games at Trask Coliseum or Brooks Field by tailgating on the bus with color-changing LED lights and powerful speakers. We also handle bachelor/bachelorette pub crawls through Downtown Wilmington, birthday bar hops on Front Street, and even private wine tours to Duplin Winery or brewery crawls to Flying Machine and Waterline Brewing. With a 40-passenger party bus, you get a designated driver, custom route, and the best amenities in the industry-all built around your exact itinerary.

Frequently Asked Questions About our 40 Passenger Party Buses
What Amenities Come Standard on Your 40 Passenger Party Buses?
Our 40-passenger party buses come standard with wraparound leatherette seating, color-changing fiber optic and LED accent lighting, and a premium sound system with multiple subwoofers. The main cabin features a large flat-screen TV at the front with additional monitors along the sides, all connected to a DVD/CD player and Bluetooth input for streaming video or music from your phone.
How Much Does a 40 Passenger Party Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
The cost to rent a 40-passenger party bus in Wilmington is $200 to $400+ per hour on weekdays and $220 to $450+ per hour on weekends, with full-day packages averaging $1,400 to $2,600 total. Your quote includes the vehicle, driver, and standard gratuity, but does not cover additional expenses like parking passes at event venues, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. The final price is heavily influenced by real-time availability-so during busy seasons or last-minute bookings, you may see significantly higher rates. The best way to get an accurate price is to call us directly with your exact itinerary, so we can give you a custom quote that reflects current market conditions.
How Does a 40 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
This 40-passenger party bus sits right in the middle of our fleet in terms of size and capacity, making it one of the most versatile options for large groups who want to travel together and keep the energy high. Unlike a standard charter bus or minibus, the party bus is built for entertainment-featuring wraparound seating, upgraded sound systems, and color-changing LED lighting that you won’t find on traditional coaches. Smaller groups might get you a sprinter limo or 20-passenger party bus more economical, while larger events up to 50 passengers can upgrade to one of our biggest party buses available. If you need something more focused on comfort and storage for long-distance travel, a full-size charter bus might be better suited-but for local events, weddings, and nightlife, the 40-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot between capacity, price, and amenities.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 40 Passenger Party Bus?
You should book your 40-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rate. Demand in Wilmington increases significantly during peak seasons-including spring wedding season, summer beach events, and major local festivals like the North Carolina Azalea Festival in April-which can limit your options and raise prices if you wait until the last minute. Booking early gives you time to coordinate all trip details, secure the exact vehicle you want, and avoid paying higher rates due to limited inventory. Once you know your event date and general itinerary, call our team to get a quote and reserve your vehicle with a deposit. We do offer last-minute bookings if vehicles are available, but advance planning is the best way to guarantee a smooth trip.
