Types of Buses Available
Pittsburgh throws a real curveball at group travel. Three rivers, a dozen bridges, the Fort Pitt Tunnel bottleneck, and downtown's Golden Triangle layout mean that what works for a flat grid city falls apart here fast. Partybusespittsburgh.com lets you fill out one quick form and instantly compare vehicles and rates from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving the Pittsburgh metro — so you can find the right fit for your group size, your event, and your budget without calling around all day. Pricing comes back in under a minute.

Types of Buses Available
Below are some of the most commonly available vehicle types. Vehicle photos show representative examples — exact make, model, color, interior, features, and availability vary by provider and trip.
14 Passenger Sprinter Limo
The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right call for bridal parties shuttling between the Church of the Ascension in Shadyside and a reception at Heinz History Center, or for a small VIP group heading into a suite at PPG Paints Arena. Rates run $200–$325/hour on weekdays and $225–$350/hour on weekends, with per-day ranges of $1,550–$3,150. Expect premium leather seating, mood lighting, and a polished exterior that photographs well at any venue stop.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Limo Seating
- Built-In Bar Area
Sprinter Van Rental with Driver
The Sprinter Van Rental with Driver is a clean, practical fit for corporate groups transferring between Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) and Downtown hotels like the Omni William Penn, or shuttling a small executive team between the Strip District and the North Shore. Weekday rates run $200–$275/hour, weekends $225–$375/hour, and per-day ranges come in at $1,400–$2,750 — a cost-effective move when rideshare surge pricing on game day in the North Shore hits hard.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Leather Captain's Seats
- Luggage Space
15 Passenger Party Bus
A 15-passenger party bus is a sharp fit for a birthday group bar-hopping through the South Side Flats, where Carson Street parking on a Friday night is essentially a myth. The group rides together, every stop is handled, and nobody's circling the block for 20 minutes between bars. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$350, weekend rates $250–$350, and per-day pricing lands at $1,400–$2,850 depending on the vehicle and itinerary.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
18 Passenger Party Bus
Eighteen passengers is the sweet spot for a bachelorette group covering Lawrenceville's Butler Street bar corridor or a birthday group heading out to Kennywood for the evening. The 18-passenger party bus fits the group without overshooting on vehicle size — which matters on Pittsburgh's narrow neighborhood streets. Weekend hourly rates run $275–$400, weekday rates $275–$350, and per-day pricing ranges from $2,100–$2,600.

Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
20 Passenger Party Bus
A 20-passenger party bus works well for a prom group out of the North Hills, a quinceañera party shuttling guests between a church in Beechview and a reception hall in Carnegie, or a fan group making the run up I-279 to Acrisure Stadium on a Steelers Sunday. Weekday hourly rates start at $250–$350, weekend rates at $275–$350, and per-day packages run $1,950–$2,800. Call 412-894-0966 to check availability for your date.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
25 Passenger Party Bus
A 25-passenger party bus is one of the most-requested sizes for Pittsburgh group events — big enough for a sizable wedding party shuttle between the Duquesne University Chapel and a reception at the Fairmont Pittsburgh, small enough to maneuver through Downtown's one-way grid without trouble. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350, weekends $275–$375, and per-day pricing comes in at $1,850–$2,900. This size fills up fast on Steelers home-game weekends — book ahead.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
28 Passenger Party Bus
The 28-passenger party bus handles the gap between "too small for everyone" and "more bus than we actually need." It's a strong fit for a corporate outing heading from the CBD to a team dinner in the Strip District, or a bar crawl group working through Mt. Washington's Grandview Avenue restaurants before the cable car queue gets long. Weekday rates run $250–$350/hour, weekend rates $275–$375/hour, and per-day ranges hit $2,150–$2,700.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
30 Passenger Party Bus
Thirty passengers is where a Steelers tailgate group, a large wedding shuttle, or a multi-stop bachelorette itinerary through the South Side and Downtown really starts to make financial sense on a per-seat basis. A 30-passenger party bus keeps everyone in one vehicle instead of splitting across two, which matters when you're trying to hit Stage AE and then make last call somewhere on Penn Avenue. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$375, weekends $325–$425, and per-day pricing ranges from $2,350–$3,050.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
40 Passenger Party Bus
A 40-passenger party bus is the go-to for large prom groups, alumni tailgates heading to Acrisure Stadium, or company holiday parties that don't want the logistics headache of coordinating two smaller vehicles. On a Steelers home-game Sunday, parking near the North Shore runs $40–$60 in surface lots — a 40-passenger bus eliminates that math entirely. Weekday rates range $300–$350/hour, weekends $325–$500/hour, and per-day packages run $2,300–$3,500.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
50 Passenger Party Bus
When the guest list hits 50, the 50-passenger party bus is the answer — ideal for large corporate shuttles between PIT and a conference hotel in Downtown, massive tailgate groups, or a wedding with a big out-of-town guest count needing a single-vehicle hotel block transfer. Per-seat math gets very favorable at this size. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$450, weekends $325–$500, and per-day pricing lands at $2,150–$4,050 depending on vehicle and itinerary length.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
15-35 Passenger Minibus
The 15-35 passenger minibus is the most practical vehicle on Pittsburgh's tighter corridors — think narrow streets in Polish Hill, the Strip District's loading zones, or the approach roads around PNC Park on a Pirates game day. Greater maneuverability than a full charter bus, climate-controlled comfort, and reclining seats make it a go-to for airport runs, school field trips to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and small corporate shuttles. Weekday rates run $200–$250/hour, weekends $200–$275/hour, per-day $1,100–$2,150.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control
- Bluetooth Sound System
- PA System
- Overhead Luggage Racks
40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
For the biggest Pittsburgh group moves — a university athletics department traveling to an away game, a convention block at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, or a multi-day itinerary across western Pennsylvania — a 40-56 passenger charter bus is what you need. Undercarriage bays handle luggage and equipment, onboard restrooms remove the pit-stop problem on runs down I-376, and the seating capacity means one vehicle handles what would otherwise require a small fleet. Weekday and weekend hourly rates both run $200–$350, with per-day pricing at $1,350–$2,850.
