Types of Buses Available in Tampa, Florida

A 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the go-to for smaller groups that want something a cut above a standard van — think bridal parties heading from a Westshore hotel block to a Ybor City reception, or a corporate VIP pickup at Tampa International Airport (TPA). Typical rates run $200–$325/hour on weekdays and $225–$350/hour on weekends. Fill out the quick form to see what's available on your date.

When the priority is getting a smaller group somewhere efficiently — an executive team shuttling between the Tampa Convention Center and hotels along Harbor Island, or a group flying into TPA who needs a clean, direct transfer to St. Pete Beach — a Sprinter Van Rental with Driver makes total sense. Weekday rates generally run $200–$275/hour, with weekend rates from $225–$375/hour. Call 813-964-3021 to check availability.

A 15-passenger party bus is a strong fit for a tight-knit group — a birthday night moving through Hyde Park Village and Downtown Tampa, or a bachelorette group making stops in Ybor City without anyone splitting off into separate rideshares. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$350, weekend rates $250–$350, with per-day options from $1,400–$2,850. These are planning ranges — call 813-964-3021 for your exact quote.

Eighteen seats hits the sweet spot for mid-size groups that still want the party bus setup — color-changing LEDs, a sound system, perimeter seating — without paying for empty rows. It's a natural fit for a prom group from Plant High or a rehearsal dinner shuttle looping between Downtown Tampa and Davis Islands. Weekend rates run $275–$400/hour, weekday rates $275–$350/hour.

A 20-passenger party bus is a solid pick for groups that have grown past the "let's take two cars" stage. A group heading from South Tampa to a Rays game at Tropicana Field, or a corporate team shuttling to a team-building night in the Channel District, rides more comfortably together on one vehicle than in a three-car caravan on I-275. Weekday rates start around $250/hour, weekend rates from $275/hour.

Twenty-five seats covers a lot of Tampa group scenarios: a Gasparilla parade group boarding in Palma Ceia, a quinceañera party moving between venues in New Tampa, or a company outing heading to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. Weekend hourly rates typically run $275–$375. Pricing varies by date and hours — use the quote form or call 813-964-3021 and you'll have a number in about a minute.

A 28-passenger party bus is worth a close look when your headcount is sitting right between a standard mid-size and the larger 30-passenger options — it prevents that awkward situation where three people end up in an Uber because the bus was two seats short. This size works well for wedding guest shuttles between the Vinoy Renaissance in St. Pete and a South Tampa reception. Weekend rates run $275–$375/hour, weekday rates $250–$350/hour.

Thirty passengers means nobody gets left behind — useful for a large tailgate group riding together from Brandon or Riverview up to Raymond James Stadium, where the walk from remote lots to the stadium gates can stretch 20-plus minutes on a packed Buccaneers Sunday. A 30-passenger party bus keeps the whole group on one vehicle and on one schedule. Weekend rates run $325–$425/hour; per-day options range from $2,350–$3,050.

When the headcount pushes past 35, a 40-passenger party bus starts making real financial sense — split across 40 people, a weekend hourly rate of $325–$500 works out to a few dollars per person per hour, which is tough to beat compared to surge-priced rideshares after a sold-out show at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre. Per-day rates run $2,300–$3,500. Fill out the form to compare options available on your specific date.

A 50-passenger party bus is the answer when you have a genuinely large group and splitting into two vehicles would be a logistical headache — think a big corporate outing from Westshore, a massive birthday group hitting multiple stops in Channelside and Ybor, or a fan bus rolling to a Lightning playoff game at Benchmark International Arena. Weekend rates range from $325–$500/hour, per-day from $2,150–$4,050. Call 813-964-3021 to lock in a rate before your date fills.

A 15-35 passenger minibus is the practical workhorse for Tampa groups that need dependable transportation and storage more than a party setup — school field trips to the Florida Aquarium on Channelside Drive, airport transfers for a corporate travel block at TPA, or a wedding shuttle circuit between the Armature Works event space and nearby hotel blocks in the Heights District. Weekday rates run $200–$250/hour, weekend rates $200–$275/hour.

For the biggest Tampa groups — a convention shuttle circuit from hotels along Rocky Point to the Tampa Convention Center, a university athletics team traveling to an away game, or a multi-day corporate retreat moving through the region — a 40-56 passenger charter bus brings undercarriage luggage bays, reclining seats, and overhead storage that smaller vehicles simply can't match, with onboard restrooms available on many models. Weekday and weekend rates both run $200–$350/hour, per-day from $1,350–$2,850. Call 813-964-3021 to get your quote.
