For folk round here, celebrations come in all shapes — birthdays, proms, weddings, hen and stag dos, race days, concerts, festivals and the odd big night out. A Occasions list like that is exactly why people hire a party bus in Devon: you can book a one-way transfer to the venue, a round trip, or plan multiple stops so everyone gets where they need to be without faffing about with taxis.
You’ll spot party buses outside Powderham Castle on wedding weekends, buzzing along the A38 towards Plymouth Pavilions for gigs, or parked up by the quay in Exeter while groups head to the bars. We cover nights out in Torquay and Paignton as easily as trips up to festivals in Cornwall or a big day at the racecourse.
Step aboard and you’ll know straight away why people grin about the journey as much as the destination. Lights changing colour, music thumping, friends dancing and laughing — the whole Experience starts as soon as the doors shut. It’s the sort of travel that makes the night feel like one long, proper beginning.
From compact 12–16 seater limo buses to roomy 20–24 seater luxury party coaches, our vehicles come with proper sound systems, LED lighting, bar areas, karaoke and comfy seating — everything you need to keep the vibe going between venues. Whether you’re after a snug 16 seater party bus UK or a full-on luxury party bus with driver, there’s an option to suit the mood.
Some straightforward Booking advice we give everyone: book early for weekends and big dates, split larger groups across two smaller buses if that saves a chunk of cash, and think about a party bus out and a minibus or MPV back if you’re watching your pennies.
We’re neighbours here — we know the roads, the pub queues and the best drop-off points. From the cobbles on Plymouth Barbican to the bars along Exeter Quay, our drivers are well versed in smoothing the route so you’re not queuing for ages. If you’re heading across county lines, we regularly run trips into Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall, Bristol and even as far as Glamorgan.
Common pick-ups include the seafronts of Torbay, the train stations in Exeter and Plymouth, and hotel clusters near event spaces. For weddings we often ferry guests to places like Powderham Castle or large manor houses; for nights out we’re familiar with Plymouth Pavilions and the Quay in Exeter — all handy examples of where a Local knowledge advantage makes the evening run smoother.
Our fleet ranges from compact limo buses (12–16 seats) to larger 20–24 seater coaches. If you want a compact, sociable ride for a small group, a 16 seater party bus UK model will do the job. If you’re after more space — perhaps a dance floor or a dedicated bar area — the larger limo buses are set up for a proper knees-up.
People often ask whether to pick a limo bus, a stretch limo, a luxury minibus or an MPV. Here’s an honest comparison so you can see where we shine: a Compare options view helps you weigh up atmosphere, capacity and cost.
| Vehicle type | Best for | Typical capacity | Atmosphere | Cost guidance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Party bus / limo bus | Keeping everyone together, pre-partying en route | 12–24 | High — lights, sound, social space | Mid to high depending on size and extras |
| Stretch limousine | Small, flashy groups wanting a statement | 6–10 | Upscale, intimate | High per person for small groups |
| Luxury minibus / MPV | Practical transfers, airport runs, sober returns | 8–16 | Low — focused on comfort | Lower per person for returns or longer hauls |
We don’t skimp on the sensible stuff. All vehicles are chauffeur-driven, fully insured and serviced regularly. Booking through our platform lets you compare prices and availability in one place — you can check vehicle specs, ask about child seats or accessibility, and confirm the chauffeur’s details without hunting round the web.
Drivers know local common-sense routes, how to handle late finishes and where to park without causing a fuss. That professionalism is what a proper Safety policy looks like in practice: respectful drivers, clear terms and a reliable point of contact on the night.
It varies — compact limo buses seat around 12–16, while larger luxury party coaches take 20–24. If you’re unsure, tell us the guest list and we’ll suggest the best fit for your group.
We usually take a deposit to secure the booking, with clear cancellation terms depending on how close to the date you book. For big dates or popular weekends, book early to avoid disappointment.
Most hires allow you to bring music and drinks, but it’s best to check the vehicle rules — some operators ask that glassware stays off board or have guidelines for behaviour. Your chauffeur will outline any specifics before you set off.
We’re not some faceless booking site — we’re local people who’ve lived and worked in Devon for years. When you ring us up, you’ll get someone who knows the quickest way round Exeter on a Friday night, where to drop a wedding party near Powderham, and how to link a trip to Cornwall with stops in Somerset or Dorset when needed. Think of us as neighbours helping neighbours to get the party started and home safely.
If you’re planning something special, whether that’s a wedding shuttle, a hen weekend or a concert run to Plymouth Pavilions, we’ll help you pick the right vehicle. For straight answers about prices, availability and which bus suits a particular plan, get in touch — we’ll sort the details so you can enjoy the Experience.
