Party Bus Tampa has been handling group transportation across the Tampa Bay area since 2011 — and that includes every corner of St. Petersburg, from the Grand Central District to the edge of Pinellas Point. Whether your group is 10 people hitting the breweries along 4th Street North or 56 people shuttling between a Mahaffey Theater performance and a waterfront reception at the Vinoy, we match every trip to the right vehicle from our fleet. Our online quote tool gives you an all-inclusive price in under 30 seconds — no hidden add-ons, no waiting on a callback.
Our reservation team is available around the clock, every day of the year, so whether your trip is three months out or three days away, one call to 813-964-3021 gets things moving. We offer everything from compact Sprinter vans for airport runs to full-size 56-passenger charter buses for convention shuttles across the Gandy Bridge. The right bus size means you never pay for seats you aren't using — and your group rides together, start to finish.
Our fleet covers every St. Pete group size: Sprinter vans and 14-passenger Sprinter limos for small VIP runs, 15- to 50-passenger party buses for celebration nights out, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses for wedding guest loops and corporate shuttles, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses for big event days at Al Lang Stadium or Tropicana Field. ADA-accessible vehicles are available — just note it when you book.
Party buses in our St. Pete fleet come loaded with color-changing LED lighting, a built-in bar, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating with an open dance area in the center — the right setup for a bachelorette crawl through the EDGE District or a birthday night that doesn't stop at last call. Minibuses bring powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, and overhead storage — ideal for shuttling wedding guests between the Sunken Gardens ceremony and the waterfront reception. Full-size charter buses add undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets at every seat, which means no pit stops on the I-275 run to Raymond James and no scramble for parking on the other end.

St. Petersburg party bus rental prices depend on vehicle type, the date, and how many hours you need. Here's how our fleet breaks down: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Weekend rates run 20–30% above weekday equivalents, and peak dates like Gasparilla weekend in January, St. Pete Pride in June, and prom season through late April and May push demand sharply.

St. Petersburg sits across the bay from Tampa, and that geography shapes everything about group travel here. The Howard Frankland Bridge backs up on game days. The Skyway Bridge corridor slows to a crawl when a cruise ship is in at Port Tampa Bay and snowbirds are heading south.
Parking along the Beach Drive waterfront fills by early evening on a Friday. A St. Petersburg party bus rental cuts through all of it — one vehicle, one flat rate, zero parking drama.
Party Bus Tampa has been running groups across Pinellas County for over 15 years. We know that Central Avenue gets congested during the weekly Saturday Morning Market season, that Tropicana Field's designated commercial bus lane on First Avenue South is the fastest approach on a Rays game day, and that wedding groups heading to the Vinoy Renaissance need a solid 90-minute buffer from downtown Tampa hotel blocks. Our 24/7 reservation team keeps track of those details so your group doesn't have to.
One call to 813-964-3021 gets you an all-inclusive price, a confirmed vehicle, and a plan that covers every stop on your itinerary — not just the first one. That's the value in booking with a company that has run these routes hundreds of times.
Party Bus Tampa handles group transportation for every kind of trip in and around St. Pete. From airport transfers and concert shuttles to wedding loops and school field trips, we have a vehicle and a plan ready for your group. Call 813-964-3021 to get your St. Petersburg bus rental started.
St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) (14700 Terminal Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33762) handles a growing roster of Allegiant and Sun Country routes, and its compact terminal means groups collect luggage and reach the curb quickly — but the surface lots fill fast on peak travel days, and commercial vehicles pick up from the designated Ground Transportation zone just outside the baggage claim exit. Tampa International Airport (TPA) (4100 George J. Bean Pkwy, Tampa, FL 33607) sits roughly 20 miles northeast via the Howard Frankland Bridge, and that crossing becomes a genuine bottleneck during morning and late-afternoon traffic — a problem your group avoids entirely when the bus handles the run. For cruise groups sailing from Port Tampa Bay, a St. Petersburg airport shuttle bus connecting PIE arrivals to the cruise terminal keeps the whole party together without a caravan of rental cars.
Tell us which airport, which terminal, and when everyone lands — we'll take it from there. Call 813-964-3021 to book.
Central Avenue is the axis of St. Pete's nightlife, and the stretch from the EDGE District through Grand Central packs in rooftop bars, drag shows, craft cocktail spots, and late-night venues within walking distance of each other — if your group isn't scattered across four different Ubers trying to meet at the next stop. A St. Petersburg bachelorette party bus holds the crew together, keeps the drinks flowing on the ride between stops, and means nobody draws the short straw on designated driving. Start with pre-drinks on the bus, hit cocktails at craft bars like The Floridian or Bar-B-Q Bar, work your way toward Ale & The Witch on Beach Drive, and close out at whatever's running until 3 AM in the EDGE District — the bus is ready whenever the group says go.
Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come with a full bar, LED lighting, and premium sound baked in. Call 813-964-3021 to put together your route.
A party bus arrival makes a statement for milestone birthdays, Sweet 16s, and quinceañeras, and St. Pete has the venues to back it up. Celebration events at spots like Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club, the Coliseum Ballroom (535 4th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33701), or private event spaces in the Grand Central District hit differently when the guest of honor rolls up in a 30-passenger bus with color-changing lights and a custom playlist running. We can match vehicle color themes — white, black, or silver — and set up multi-stop itineraries from home or hotel to photo locations at the St. Pete waterfront, then on to the reception venue.
For adult milestone birthdays, the same setup works for a crawl through Central Avenue's cocktail bars ending at a late-night rooftop. Call 813-964-3021 and tell us the stop list — we'll build the plan around it.
St. Pete's live music calendar is one of the densest on the Gulf Coast. Jannus Live (200 1st Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) books national touring acts in its historic open-air courtyard — and the surrounding surface lots along 1st and 2nd Avenues fill within 90 minutes of doors. The Mahaffey Theater (400 1st St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) seats nearly 2,000 and draws crowds from across Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties, with metered parking along the waterfront spiking on show nights.
For groups heading to Tampa-side venues like MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre or Amalie Arena, a St. Pete concert party bus rental takes care of the bridge crossing and the parking altogether — your group loads up in St. Pete, rides together, and gets dropped at the venue entrance while everyone else is still circling the garage. The party bus setup — built-in bar, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound — keeps the energy going from the first stop to the final song. Call 813-964-3021 for a quote.
The St. Pete waterfront corridor has become a genuine business district, with major employers like Raymond James Financial, Jabil, and TECO Energy anchoring the local economy alongside the growing innovation corridor near USF St. Pete. Shuttling conference attendees between downtown St. Pete hotels and a venue like the St. Pete Pier Approach or the Sundial St. Pete event spaces means navigating Beach Drive's narrow one-way sections and limited surface parking — a challenge that disappears when a minibus handles the loop. For larger events connecting groups at the Vinoy Hotel to meeting spaces at the Mahaffey or to Tampa Convention Center across the bridge, a full-size charter bus drops everyone at the commercial entrance and waits nearby while sessions run.
WiFi and power outlets onboard mean your team can prep for presentations on the 30-minute cross-bay run rather than sitting idle in traffic. Call 813-964-3021 to build a corporate shuttle plan for your St. Pete event.
St. Pete Pride in June draws tens of thousands of attendees to the Deuces and Central Avenue corridor, with road closures and rideshare wait times that can stretch past an hour post-event. The Saturday Morning Market at Al Lang Stadium runs October through May and pulls massive weekend crowds to the waterfront — street parking along Beach Drive fills before 9 AM on peak market days. The St. Pete Beach Mainsail Arts Festival, the Shine Mural Festival in October, and First Friday gallery walks along Central Avenue all create the same compressed parking and rideshare crunch.
A private St. Petersburg charter bus rental handles the logistics for all of it: one vehicle, one flat rate, drop-off at the event perimeter, and no guessing whether you'll find parking on the way back. For family reunions or church groups hitting multiple stops in a single day — Florida Holocaust Museum, the Dalí Museum, lunch on the pier, and an afternoon at Fort De Soto — a bus keeps everyone on the same schedule without the three-car-caravan coordination problem. Call 813-964-3021.
Prom season across Pinellas County runs from late April through the end of May, and high schools from St. Petersburg High to Lakewood, Boca Ciega, and Northeast all schedule within the same compressed window. Demand spikes hard — the right-size vehicles go fast, and groups that wait until March for a May prom often find limited options and premium pricing. For prom: book by December or expect premium pricing or limited availability.
A typical 6-hour prom rental for 30 students — school pickup, a photo stop at Fort De Soto Park or the St. Pete Pier, drop-off at the venue, and an after-party return — runs $1,800–$2,200 when locked in 4–6 months early. Same itinerary booked 3 weeks out typically runs $2,800–$3,500+. Party Bus Tampa works directly with parent committees and student groups across Pinellas County to confirm the pickup plan and keep the night on schedule.
Call 813-964-3021 to hold your date.
St. Petersburg's museum row along 2nd Avenue South gives school groups an unusually strong field trip corridor. The Salvador Dalí Museum (1 Dalí Blvd, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) offers school group pricing and requires advance scheduling — and a charter bus keeps the class together from pickup through return without the yellow-bus heat and noise. The Florida Holocaust Museum (55 5th St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) sits three blocks away and works as a natural second stop on a full-day itinerary, with buses unloading on 5th Street South.
The Museum of Fine Arts (255 Beach Dr NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) handles drop-off from the Beach Drive side. Undercarriage storage takes care of backpacks, lunch coolers, and project materials so students aren't hauling gear through galleries. For longer trips to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay or the Florida Aquarium, onboard restrooms mean no unscheduled pit stops, and TV monitors keep the ride engaging on the way home.
ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — flag it when you book. Call 813-964-3021.
Tropicana Field (1 Tropicana Dr, St. Petersburg, FL 33705) is the home of the Tampa Bay Rays — and even after the 2024 hurricane damage disrupted schedules, game-day traffic on I-175 and the surface lots along 1st Avenue South fills from the moment gates open. The designated commercial vehicle loading zone runs along 1st Avenue South on the stadium's south face, putting your group steps from Gate 1. Parking on adjacent streets costs $15–$25 depending on how close you want to be — one bus parking pass instead of a caravan of cars dealing with that same rate is a straightforward trade.
For soccer fans heading to Al Lang Stadium (230 1st St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) for Tampa Bay Rowdies matches, the venue sits directly on the waterfront with very limited street parking — a St. Pete charter bus drops your supporters group curbside on 1st Street South and waits nearby for the return. For Rays postseason runs or bigger touring acts at Tropicana, book well in advance — availability tightens fast when the stadium calendar fills. Call 813-964-3021.
St. Pete's wedding venue landscape spans waterfront reception halls, historic properties, and rooftop spaces across the downtown core — and a lot of your out-of-town guests are staying in hotels along the beach or in Tampa, neither of which makes self-navigation on the wedding day stress-free. A St. Petersburg wedding shuttle running a loop from the Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg (501 5th Ave NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) to a ceremony at Sunken Gardens (3800 54th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33714) and back cuts out the parking problem on one of your garden ceremony venue's busiest nights. Groups coming from Tampa-side hotels cross the Howard Frankland and deal with downtown St. Pete's one-way grid — a minibus handles that routing without anyone in formalwear getting turned around on 4th Street.
The Dalí Museum event space and Isla Del Sol Yacht Club both have limited on-site parking for larger guest lists, and a shuttle loop from a central hotel is the cleaner answer. Book a 14-passenger Sprinter limo for the bridal party run itself; minibuses handle the guest loops. One point of contact from quote to final drop-off.
Call 813-964-3021.
St. Pete's craft brewery scene has grown into one of the strongest in Florida, and the downtown concentration makes it perfect for a party bus crawl — but only if you're not trying to drive between stops on a Friday night when Central Avenue closes a lane for foot traffic. 3 Daughters Brewing (222 22nd St S, St. Petersburg, FL 33712) anchors the south-end brewery circuit with a large taproom and live music most weekends. Green Bench Brewing (1133 Baum Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33705) offers a tight, barrel-focused taproom in the North Kenwood neighborhood. Cage Brewing (2001 1st Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL 33712) pours craft ales in the Grand Central corridor, steps from a dozen cocktail bars.
Add a stop at Fermented Reality (1248 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33705) and finish at the St. Pete Distillery (2542 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33704) for a rum flight. One St. Petersburg party bus rental handles all of it — no splitting up, no hunting for a parking spot at every stop, no one responsible for being sober. Call 813-964-3021 for a free quote.

For my daughter's sweet sixteen we packed on a group of teenagers and let them have the run of it, lights flashing, their playlist blasting, everybody screaming the words to every song. They had an absolute blast and felt incredibly grown-up doing it. Meanwhile us parents could finally exhale, because the whole crew was in one place going where they were supposed to go. No worrying about a dozen kids in different cars. Best decision we made for her birthday.

Threw a bachelor party that everyone actually remembers, and the magic was that it never turned into a logistics headache. No arguments about who stays sober, no scattered meetups. We just stayed on board between spots with the playlist running nonstop from the first stop to the last. Ten guys, one continuous good time, and the bus kept the energy alive the whole night through. Couldn't have asked for a smoother send-off.
Solomon
Hosted a client event that moved a group between a few venues over one evening, and the transportation was the piece that tied it all together. The clients climbed on, got comfortable, had a drink in hand, and we glided from spot to spot without anyone watching the clock or hunting for parking. They were genuinely impressed by the touch, and it made our whole company look polished. That kind of effortless flow is exactly what you want when you're making an impression.
Tomas
The festival was a fair drive outside town, and instead of dreading the haul we turned it into the pregame. Comfortable seats for the longer ride, drinks flowing, the sound system warming us up the entire way out. By the time we rolled past the edge of St Petersburg and out toward the grounds, the group was already in full party mode. Made what could've been a tedious trek into one of the best parts of the day.
St. Petersburg party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, the date, and the hours needed. As a guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; small party buses (15–20 passengers) run $204–$378/hour; mid-size party buses (20–30 passengers) run $244–$414/hour; larger party buses and minibuses (35–50 passengers) run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Weekend rates run higher than weekday, and peak events — Gasparilla, St. Pete Pride, prom season — push both demand and pricing.
The fastest way to get an exact number for your date is to call 813-964-3021 or use our online quote tool — all-inclusive, 30 seconds, no obligation.
Charter buses and commercial vehicles serving Tropicana Field (1 Tropicana Dr, St. Petersburg, FL 33705) use the designated loading zone along 1st Avenue South on the stadium's south side — the same corridor that puts your group near Gate 1 without the long lot walk. Adjacent street parking runs $15–$25 per vehicle and fills well before first pitch on sellout dates. For Rays playoff games, the surface lots along 16th Street fill within the first hour, so a single bus for the whole group at one flat parking cost is the cleaner approach.
We recommend checking the official Rays transportation page for any game-day lot changes before you arrive.
It depends on who's flying. St. Pete-Clearwater International (PIE) (14700 Terminal Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33762) is the closest to downtown St. Pete — roughly 18 miles up US-19 — and handles Allegiant and Sun Country routes at budget prices, with a compact terminal that gets groups through baggage claim quickly. Tampa International (TPA) (4100 George J. Bean Pkwy, Tampa, FL 33607) sits about 20 miles northeast and is the major hub, with far more carriers and nonstop destinations.
The Howard Frankland Bridge (I-275) connecting the two cities backs up during morning and late-afternoon rushes. For a group flying in on different carriers, a St. Petersburg airport shuttle bus that covers both airports in one coordinated run — PIE first, then TPA — keeps everyone together for the trip to the hotel or cruise terminal without multiple vehicle trips. Call 813-964-3021 to map out your arrival plan.
For most occasions, 6–8 weeks of lead time is workable. But for the calendar's busiest windows, book earlier: Gasparilla weekend (late January) depletes the Tampa Bay vehicle supply fast — book by November. St. Pete Pride (mid-June) combined with the surrounding festival season means June dates fill in April and May.
Prom season (late April through May) is the single tightest window — high schools across Pinellas County all schedule in the same six-week stretch, and premium buses for late-May dates are largely committed by December. The earlier your date is confirmed, the better the vehicle selection and the lower the rate. Call 813-964-3021 as soon as your headcount is set.
Absolutely — cross-bay runs are among the most common trips we handle. The Howard Frankland Bridge (I-275) is the primary route, about 20 miles from downtown St. Pete to downtown Tampa, and roughly 35–45 minutes in normal traffic. The Gandy Bridge (US-92) offers an alternate and is often faster on weekend evenings when I-275 northbound backs up.
Party Bus Tampa has been running cross-bay groups for over 15 years — concert crowds heading to MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, corporate attendees shuttling to Tampa Convention Center, and wedding guests bouncing between Hillsborough and Pinellas venues in the same evening. One bus handles the routing; your group sits back. Call 813-964-3021 for a cross-bay quote.
For standard weekend events in St. Pete, 4–8 weeks in advance gives you good vehicle selection. For peak demand windows — Gasparilla (book by November), prom season (book by December for a May date), St. Pete Pride weekend, and New Year's Eve — book 3–5 months out. The earlier you lock in the date and headcount, the more flexibility you have on vehicle choice, and the less likely you are to hit premium last-minute pricing.
Call 813-964-3021 right now if you have a date in mind — the quote is free and there's no obligation.
St. Pete packs a remarkable amount of things to do into a compact, walkable downtown — and a party bus connects all of it without the parking scramble. Here's a look at the venues and destinations groups visit most with Party Bus Tampa.
The Salvador Dalí Museum (1 Dalí Blvd, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) houses the largest Dalí collection outside of Europe in a striking glass-and-concrete structure on the waterfront. The permanent collection spans over 2,000 works, from early oil paintings to massive floor-to-ceiling surrealist canvases. School groups and tour groups unload on the Dalí Boulevard approach, with bus staging available in the adjacent surface lot.
General admission runs $25 for adults, $10 for students; group rates apply for 15 or more with advance booking. The museum is open Monday through Saturday 9 AM–5:30 PM and Sundays from noon, with extended evening hours on select Thursdays. A party bus combining a Dalí Museum stop with neighboring venues like the Museum of Fine Arts or a waterfront lunch makes for a full St. Pete culture day.
We recommend checking the official Dalí Museum visit page for current group booking requirements.
Address: 1 Dalí Blvd, St. Petersburg, FL 33701
Phone: (727) 823-3767
Tropicana Field (1 Tropicana Dr, St. Petersburg, FL 33705) is home to the Tampa Bay Rays and sits in the heart of downtown St. Pete — a 25,000-seat domed stadium that draws sellout crowds for division-race games and marquee concerts. Commercial vehicle drop-off runs along 1st Avenue South on the stadium's south face, positioning your group near Gate 1 without the long lot walk. Adjacent surface parking fills fast on high-demand nights; the designated bus loading zone keeps your group out of the scramble entirely.
The stadium also hosts concerts, wrestling events, and college football bowl games, with each event bringing its own approach-road setup — check the official Rays ballpark transportation page before your visit. An evening Rays game is a natural anchor for a St. Pete sporting event charter bus rental, with Central Avenue bars and the waterfront only minutes away for a post-game stop.

Phone: (727) 825-3137
The reimagined St. Pete Pier (800 2nd Ave NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) opened in 2020 as a $92 million public landmark stretching 2,600 feet into Tampa Bay — the longest recreational pier on the Gulf Coast. The Pier District includes a public beach, a rotating roster of food and beverage vendors, event lawn space, and the new Pier Approach green spine connecting it to Straub Park. Group events, corporate receptions, and wedding cocktail hours book the Pier District event spaces throughout the year, with the Saturday Morning Market operating on the Approach from October through May.
Buses drop groups at the municipal parking deck on 1st Avenue NE or along 2nd Avenue NE where the approach meets the street grid. The deck fills up on Saturday morning market days and major waterfront event weekends — a bus cuts out the parking guesswork and drops your group at the Approach entrance. Check the official Pier getting-here page for current vehicle access details.

Jannus Live (200 1st Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) is St. Pete's premier outdoor concert venue — a 2,000-capacity open-air courtyard in a renovated downtown block that books national and international touring acts across rock, electronic, indie, and hip-hop genres. The venue sits one block north of Central Avenue, surrounded by metered street parking that fills well before doors on major show nights. There is no dedicated parking structure attached to the venue — guests park where they can find it, often several blocks away on busy concert nights.
A St. Pete concert party bus rental handles the logistics differently: your group loads up at the hotel or neighborhood of your choice, rides to the venue entrance, and gets picked up at whatever time you set — no meter-feeding, no negotiating post-show rideshare surge pricing at midnight. The built-in bar and sound system on our party buses means the concert experience starts before you ever reach the venue. Call 813-964-3021 for a Jannus Live group quote.

Sunken Gardens (3800 54th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33714) is one of Florida's oldest roadside attractions — a four-acre tropical garden sunk into a natural sinkhole, with towering royal palms, koi ponds, flamingo habitats, and mature specimen plants. The gardens double as one of Pinellas County's most popular wedding ceremony venues, with a ceremony lawn and pavilion that books solidly from October through May. Bus drop-off uses the main entrance on 54th Avenue North, with street parking available on adjacent neighborhood streets.
For wedding groups, the challenge is that Sunken Gardens is 5 miles north of downtown St. Pete — far enough from waterfront hotels that a guest shuttle is the logical answer, especially for groups returning to Beach Drive or Central Avenue properties after a ceremony. Admission runs $15 for adults and $7 for children ages 2–11. Check the official City of St. Pete Sunken Gardens page for current events and group visit protocols.

Fort De Soto Park (3500 Pinellas Bayway S, Tierra Verde, FL 33715) covers 1,136 acres across five interconnected islands at the mouth of Tampa Bay — home to one of the top-rated beaches in the country, a historic Spanish-American War fort, kayak and canoe trails, and 7 miles of paved multi-use trails. It's a go-to destination for school field trips, family reunions, and bachelor/bachelorette day outings. The park entrance is off the Pinellas Bayway (SR-682), about 11 miles south of downtown St. Pete.
The access road becomes a single-lane crawl on peak summer weekend days, with parking at the two main beach lots filling by 10 AM. A charter bus enters via the group vehicle lane, drops passengers at the beach or the fort area, and parks in the designated bus and RV area near the North Beach lot — so your group doesn't have to fight for individual parking spaces. Entrance is free; the Pinellas Bayway toll is $0.75 per axle for standard vehicles.
