At Party Buses we connect you with chauffeur-driven party buses and limo buses across Folkestone and the surrounding towns — Hythe, Dover, New Romney, Deal and Ashford — so your crew stays together from the first drink to the last encore.
Our fleet covers everything from compact 12–16 seater limo buses to large 20–24 seater luxury party coaches. When you picture your night, think LED lighting shifting through the colours, a bassline you feel under your feet and a trained chauffeur steering you safely between venues — that’s the experience our Types of limo buses available deliver.
These are brilliant for tighter groups who want an intimate party vibe without compromising on style. Expect comfortable seating, a compact bar area, Bluetooth sound systems and space to stand and sing along to karaoke — perfect for pre-club gatherings or a lively ride to a wedding reception.
When everyone needs to travel together, the bigger coach is unbeatable. Wide aisles, dedicated bar zones, danceable floors and advanced lighting systems give you a mini-club on wheels — ideal for hen and stag parties, birthdays and festival transfers across Kent.
Not sure whether to book a party bus or another option? Compare options like stretch limousines, Hummer limos, luxury minibuses and MPVs by thinking about atmosphere and logistics: stretch limos deliver one-glam ride for a small group; Hummer limos turn heads; minibuses and MPVs are cost-effective for transfers. Choose a party bus when you want to keep the party alive en route and arrive together.
A little planning goes a long way. Booking tips and money-savers include: book early for prom and wedding season, consider mid-week or daytime hires for lower rates, split costs between friends, or book a party bus for the outward journey and a minibus for the return to save money without losing the experience.
From weddings at local venues to proms, race days, hen and stag dos, concerts in nearby towns or a carefree night out in Folkestone town centre, our service is designed to be flexible. Choose one-way transfers, round trips or multiple stop itineraries so your hire works around your plans — not the other way round.
We know reliability matters. All vehicles on our platform are chauffeur-driven, fully insured and routinely maintained to high standards.

If you know Folkestone, you’ll know the joy of arriving at the Harbour Arm or seeing the lights on The Leas as you pull up. Our party buses are a common sight on routes between Folkestone town centre, The Quarterhouse, harbour venues, and wedding hotels along the seafront. We regularly run hires between Folkestone and nearby towns such as Hythe, Dover, New Romney, Deal and Ashford, ideal for pre- or post-event travel.
One favourite memory: a group of friends hired a 16-seater for a surprise 40th on a Friday. The music was loud, the laughter infectious and when we drove along the Leas the driver eased up and the whole bus cheered as the lights came into view — that’s the small, perfect moment that turns a hire into a story you tell for years.
