Columbus Party Bus & Charter Bus Options

The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right call for a small group that wants something elevated without going full party bus. Think bridal parties heading to ceremony venues in German Village, executive groups transferring between John Glenn Columbus International Airport and downtown hotels, or a birthday group hitting the Short North gallery hop. Sprinter limos typically include premium leather seating, tinted windows, and individual USB charging.

Weekday hourly rates run $200–$325; weekend rates run $225–$350.

Need a clean, efficient ride without the party bus price tag? The Sprinter Van Rental with Driver seats up to 14 and works well for corporate airport runs, small team travel to Nationwide Arena, or hotel-to-venue shuttles during a conference at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Amenities are comfort-focused: climate control, plush seating, and overhead storage for bags.

Weekday hourly rates range $200–$275; weekend rates run $225–$375.

A 15-passenger party bus is the go-to for a tight-knit group doing a Columbus crawl — Brewery District to Short North to the Arena District, all in one night, all in one vehicle. No splitting into separate cars, no arguing about who's staying sober, no hunting for parking on High Street at midnight. LED lighting, a sound system, and perimeter seating make the ride part of the evening.

Weekday hourly rates run $200–$350; weekend rates run $250–$350.

Bump your guest list a little and the 18-passenger party bus steps up perfectly. It's a strong fit for a bachelorette group working through a Short North bar itinerary or a birthday group heading from a dinner reservation in the Short North down to a concert at KEMBA Live!. The vehicle seats 18 comfortably with typical party bus amenities — full LED package, Bluetooth audio, and a built-in bar area.

Weekday rates start at $275–$350 per hour; weekend rates run $275–$400.

Twenty people is the sweet spot for a lot of Columbus group events — a Group SC watch party shuttle, a corporate happy hour circuit around the Short North, or a rehearsal dinner night out in the University District. The 20-passenger party bus keeps everyone on the same itinerary without needing a second vehicle. Expect LED lighting, premium audio, and a full bar setup.

Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend rates run $275–$350.

The 25-passenger party bus is one of the most commonly booked sizes for Columbus prom groups, bachelorette parties, and game-day fan shuttles to Ohio Stadium. It's large enough that nobody gets left behind, and maneuverable enough to navigate the tighter streets around German Village and the Short North without issue. LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound seating are standard.

Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend rates run $275–$375.

A 28-passenger party bus fills in the gap between a standard party bus and the bigger 30-passenger options — useful when your headcount lands right around 25–28 and you'd rather not pay for empty seats. It works well for wedding shuttles running between a Columbus venue and a hotel block in the Short North, or a fan group heading up I-71 North to a Buckeyes game. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend rates run $275–$375.

The 30-passenger party bus is built for the kind of Columbus group that fills a full restaurant table and then some — office holiday parties, large birthday celebrations, multi-stop bar crawls through the Brewery District. At 30 seats, you get the full party bus experience: wrap-around LED lighting, a premium sound system, a full bar area, and flat-panel TVs. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$375; weekend rates run $325–$425.

When the guest list crosses 35, the 40-passenger party bus becomes the obvious answer. Corporate groups shuttling between downtown Columbus and Easton love it — one vehicle, one departure, nobody waiting on a rideshare. It's also a go-to for large prom groups coming out of Dublin or Westerville-area schools.

Expect full LED lighting, premium audio, Bluetooth connectivity, and perimeter seating. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$350; weekend rates run $325–$500.

The 50-passenger party bus is the largest party-style vehicle in the Columbus network and the right fit for major group celebrations — a big company outing, a multi-family event, a large wedding guest shuttle circuit between a reception venue in Powell and a hotel block in downtown Columbus. All the party bus amenities scale up: full LED package, a sound system that fills the cabin, flat-panel TVs, and a bar area. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$450; weekend rates run $325–$500.

The 15-35 passenger minibus is the workhorse of Columbus corporate and school group travel. It's the right vehicle for a university group heading from Ohio State's campus to a conference downtown, a corporate team doing airport runs between John Glenn and Polaris-area offices, or a school group making the trip to COSI (333 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215). Climate control, reclining seats, and overhead storage are standard.

Weekday hourly rates run $200–$250; weekend rates run $200–$275.

For the biggest Columbus groups — Ohio State athletic departments moving a team roster, convention shuttles running circuits between the Greater Columbus Convention Center and hotel blocks across downtown, or fan groups traveling from Central Ohio up to Cleveland or Cincinnati for an away game — the 40-56 passenger charter bus is the only vehicle that makes sense. Undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, and power outlets come standard on most vehicles. Weekday and weekend hourly rates both run $200–$350; per-day rates run $1,350–$2,850.
