Lexington Party Bus & Charter Bus Options

The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right call for a tight group that still wants the VIP feel — a wedding party riding from a downtown hotel block to a ceremony venue out in Versailles, or a birthday group kicking off the night before hitting the Short Street and Jefferson Street bar circuit. Expect leather seating, tinted privacy glass, and individual USB charging at every seat. Weekday rates run $200–$325/hour; weekends run $225–$350/hour.

Need clean, comfortable, and straightforward? The Sprinter Van Rental with Driver seats up to 14 and handles executive airport transfers from Blue Grass Airport (LEX), hotel-to-venue shuttles during a downtown festival weekend, or quick cross-town corporate hops between downtown and office parks off Nicholasville Road. Plenty of overhead and floor storage for luggage and gear.

Weekday rates run $200–$275/hour; weekend rates $225–$375/hour.

A 15-passenger party bus is the sweet spot for a close-knit group — think a smaller bachelorette group making stops along Manchester Street, or a birthday squad riding from Chevy Chase to a UK Wildcats game at Rupp Arena without fighting downtown traffic for a parking spot. Onboard LED lighting, Bluetooth audio, and perimeter seating keep the energy up from the first pickup. Weekday hourly rates range $200–$350; weekend rates $250–$350.

An 18-passenger party bus fits a mid-size group without anyone feeling packed in — ideal for a rehearsal dinner shuttle running between a Distillery District restaurant and a downtown Lexington hotel, or a corporate outing from downtown to a team dinner out near The Summit at Fritz Farm. Most 18-passenger buses include a sound system with AUX/Bluetooth, color-changing LED lighting, and flat-panel screens. Weekday rates run $275–$350/hour; weekend rates $275–$400/hour.

When your headcount lands right around 20, a 20-passenger party bus is a natural fit — enough room for a full sorority pregame heading to a University of Kentucky event, or a company happy hour group shuttling from an office park off Harrodsburg Road to the Distillery District without anyone circling downtown garages for 20 minutes. Wraparound seating and a built-in sound system are standard. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekends $275–$350.

A 25-passenger party bus handles the trips where a smaller bus cuts it close and a full charter bus is overkill. A UK football watch party group riding in from Nicholasville to Kroger Field, a quinceañera group moving between a church in Lexington and a reception hall out in Georgetown — this is exactly the vehicle those groups need. Full bar setup, LED lighting, and clear sound are standard features.

Weekday rates run $250–$350/hour; weekends $275–$375/hour.

A 28-passenger party bus is built for groups that have outgrown a party bus but aren't ready for the full charter bus commitment — a large corporate team heading from Central Bank Center to a group dinner in the Distillery District, or a wedding shuttle looping guests between a venue in Midway and a downtown hotel. Flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating, and a PA system are common on this size. Weekday rates run $250–$350/hour; weekends $275–$375/hour.

Thirty seats means the whole extended group rides together — a 30-person bachelorette group bar-hopping through the Distillery District and Short Street, or a large family reunion group shuttling from hotel pickup near Hamburg to a catered dinner out toward Paris Pike. A 30-passenger party bus typically comes with a full-length bar, Bluetooth sound, color-changing LEDs, and reclining perimeter seating. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$375; weekend rates $325–$425.

A 40-passenger party bus is where big group logistics get simple. A company retreat group riding from a Lexington campus to the Kentucky Horse Park, a large wedding party moving between multiple stops downtown — this vehicle holds the whole crowd and keeps the timeline tight. Expect full AV setups, multiple flat screens, and climate control built for a full load.

Weekday rates run $300–$350/hour; weekends $325–$500/hour.

At 50 seats, a 50-passenger party bus is one of the largest celebration vehicles available — the right pick for a massive birthday bash moving through downtown Lexington, a huge group heading out to Keeneland for a Fall Meet race day, or a large school group heading to the Kentucky Horse Park for a field trip. Strong sound, expansive LED lighting, and a full bar setup come standard. Weekday rates run $300–$450/hour; weekends $325–$500/hour.

The 15–35 passenger minibus is the go-to for groups that need comfortable point-to-point transportation without the party bus amenities — think airport runs from Blue Grass Airport for a corporate team, employee shuttles between an office campus off Man o' War Blvd and a downtown Lexington work site, or school field trip transportation from a Nicholasville school to the International Museum of the Horse. Climate control, reclining seats, and overhead storage are standard. Weekday rates run $200–$250/hour; weekends $200–$275/hour.

For the largest groups and the longest hauls, a 40–56 passenger charter bus is the right fit. A convention group shuttling between Blue Grass Airport and the Central Bank Center convention halls, a youth sports team making the drive from Lexington to Louisville for a tournament, a company moving 50 employees from downtown to an off-site retreat — this vehicle handles it cleanly. Undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and reclining seats come standard.

Day rates run $1,350–$2,850.
