40 Passenger Party Bus

Every 40-passenger party bus in our fleet comes loaded with the best amenities in the industry—because we know your group wants to ride in comfort, style, and luxury. You’ll get wraparound leather seating with room for everyone to stretch out, multiple flat-screen TVs (up to 50”+), a full Bluetooth/DVD sound system, color-changing LED lighting, mirrored ceilings, and built-in beverage stations. There’s space for coolers, upgraded sound packages, hardwood or custom flooring, and optional WiFi so people can stream, share, and stay connected. This is one of the most versatile, fully equipped party buses on the road—perfect for any kind of event or trip your group has planned.

The cost to rent a 40-passenger party bus from Charleston Party Bus Company typically ranges from $200 to $400+ per hour on weekdays, $220 to $450+ per hour on weekends, or $1,400–$2,600 per day for longer trips. Your exact price will depend on factors like the date of your event, how long you need the bus, pickup and drop-off locations, and current availability—but once you get a quote, it’s all-inclusive and locked in. Gratuity is included upfront, but you’ll be responsible for any parking fees at venues, tolls, or a hotel room for the driver if your trip requires an overnight stay. Multi-day and out-of-town packages are available—just call or fill out our online form to get real-time pricing and availability.

The 40-passenger party bus hits a sweet spot between size, capacity, and versatility compared to other vehicles in the Charleston Party Bus Company fleet. It’s significantly larger than standard limousines and sprinter-style minibuses—offering more headroom, aisle space, and overall square footage—which means big groups can actually move around, dance, and interact while the bus is in motion. Unlike a traditional charter bus or coach, the interior is fully open with perimeter seating rather than forward-facing rows, creating a true “party” environment instead of just point-to-point transportation. You still get many of the same amenities as our biggest models—multiple video screens, powerful sound system, LED lighting, beverage storage—but in a package that’s easier to maneuver through city streets and tight venues than a 50- or 56-passenger coach. For mid-size groups who want something bigger and more functional than a regular limo but don’t need the absolute largest bus available, this is an ideal choice.

You should book your 40-passenger party bus as soon as you know the date of your event—ideally at least three to six months in advance—because these are some of the most popular and hardest-to-find vehicles in the industry, especially during peak seasons. Availability is extremely limited compared to smaller buses or standard charter coaches, and once the larger models are reserved, they’re rarely substituted by anything else. Spring and summer dates fill up quickly due to wedding season, proms, and major festivals, while fall brings heavy demand from football fans and homecoming events; if your trip overlaps with a holiday weekend, concert series, or local celebration like Spoleto Festival USA or Cooper River Bridge Run, securing a reservation early is critical. Last-minute bookings may still be possible if there’s a gap in the schedule, but prices can be higher and selection will be limited. Once you pay your deposit, the bus is locked in for your date, and final payment isn’t due until closer to the event.
