40 Passenger Party Bus

Every 40-passenger party bus comes standard with wraparound leather seating, a powerful sound system with Bluetooth/AUX connectivity, multiple flat-screen TVs, color-changing LED/fiber optic lighting, and a full HVAC system. You also get a PA system for announcements, tinted windows for privacy, and several built-in coolers or wet bars with ice chests and cup holders. There are dual USB and 110V power outlets at nearly every row to keep devices charged, and a rear luggage compartment for bags. Many models include a front/rear touchscreen display for controlling audio and lighting settings, and upgraded vinyl or fabric headliners and trim pieces. If you need Wi-Fi or something else specific, just ask when you book.

A 40-passenger party bus rental costs $200-$400+ per hour on weekdays and $220-$450+ per hour on weekends, with full-day packages averaging $1,400-$2,600. Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, and driver gratuity, but you are responsible for additional expenses like tolls, parking fees at venues, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. The final price is determined by the length of your trip, the pickup location, and current availability. For example, a local trip in Ventura County will cost less than a multi-day charter to San Diego or Las Vegas.

The 40-passenger party bus strikes a balance between capacity and maneuverability compared to our other bus types. It offers significantly more seating and standing room than a standard 14- to 30-passenger party bus or minibus, making it ideal for larger groups who want to travel together in one vehicle. While a full-size charter bus seats up to 56 passengers and may offer slightly more luggage space, the 40-passenger party bus provides a superior entertainment experience with wraparound seating, advanced lighting, and premium sound systems-all features that are optional or unavailable on most charter buses. This size is perfect for groups who need something larger than a minibus but don't require a full-size coach, especially for events where onboard entertainment is a priority.

We strongly recommend booking your 40-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rate-especially if your event falls during peak season or coincides with a major event in Los Angeles County. Demand for party buses in Thousand Oaks and surrounding areas like Simi Valley and Westlake Village increases significantly during wedding season (April through October), prom season (April and May), and around major concerts or sporting events at nearby venues like SoFi Stadium or Crypto.com Arena. If you book last-minute, you may still get you a vehicle, but availability will be limited and prices will be higher due to increased demand. Once you know your date, put down a deposit early-you can always adjust the reservation if your plans change.
