Party Buses has spent over 20 years teaming up with trusted operators across the UK to make booking a chauffeur-driven vehicle simple — whether you’re planning a wedding, hen or stag do, prom, corporate celebration or a lively night out in town.
Why pick us? Because you want peace of mind. With a platform that lets you compare prices, check availability and book in one place, you avoid hours of trawling websites or messaging dozens of suppliers. Every vehicle we list is fully insured, professionally maintained and driven by a vetted chauffeur so you can focus on the fun, not the logistics.
From compact limo buses to roomy party coaches, there’s a vehicle for every group. Below are common options and what to expect on board.
The 12-16 Seater Limo Buses are ideal for close-knit groups who want an intimate party vibe without losing comfort. Think cosy leather benches, powerful sound systems and LED mood lighting — perfect for a hen night that starts the party en route to Dreamland or the Harbour Arm.
If your guest list is larger, the 20-24 Seater Luxury Coaches keep everyone together and make a statement on arrival. These coaches often include bar areas, dance floors and room to move — excellent for club crawls around Margate Old Town or transporting guests between multiple reception venues.
Want karaoke, a DJ-ready sound system, colour-changing LED lights or a mini bar? Our fleet features a wide range of extras to build the right atmosphere. Practical touches matter too: seat belts, climate control and clear luggage space so your outfits and gifts arrive as fresh as when you left.
Which events suit a party bus? Almost any group occasion benefits from a chauffeur-driven party bus.
For weddings, a Weddings & Receptions package can include one-way transfers for the bridal party, shuttle runs between ceremony and reception, or round trips for guests staying in nearby towns like Ramsgate or Broadstairs.
Hen and stag nights are where the party bus really shines. With a Hen and Stag Parties set-up you can start celebrating early — DJs, lights and room to dance mean the fun begins the moment you leave the house.
Prom nights demand style and safety. A Proms & School Balls booking gives students a memorable arrival, a chauffeur they can trust and the chance for the whole group to travel together without splitting up.
Heading to a gig or festival along the Kent coast? A party bus makes transfers easy, whether you’re looping between venues in Margate or heading to concerts in Canterbury. Flexible packages can cover single journeys, return trips or multiple stops.
Smart planning can reduce costs and stress. Here are practical tips that pay off.
One trick is to book a premium Split the Return outward journey with a larger limo bus and use a minibus or MPV for the return. It often saves money and keeps the initial atmosphere high while cutting costs for quieter late-night legs.
Book well before peak dates, split the fare between friends and consider daytime or mid-week hires for significantly lower rates. Sharing the cost is the easiest way to enjoy a Book Early & Share Costs approach without compromising on luxury.
Weekends, bank holidays and prom season fill up fast. If you’re flexible, mid-week events or afternoon starts often reduce the price and still deliver the same experience.
How does a party bus stack up against other group options? It depends on what you value most: atmosphere, capacity or cost.
A Limo Bus vs Stretch Limousine decision often comes down to space. Stretch limos are glamorous but cramped for larger groups; limo buses provide more room to mingle and dance while still delivering that luxury feel.
Choose a Party Bus vs Minibus/MPV when you want the ride to be part of the celebration. Minibuses and MPVs are cost-effective and practical for transfers, but they lack the on-board extras that turn travel time into party time.
Margate has character — and a party bus works perfectly here. From the retro thrills of Dreamland and the lively Harbour Arm to exhibitions at Turner Contemporary and nights in the Old Town, a chauffeur-driven vehicle gets you between hotspots in style. We regularly run hires between Margate, Westgate-on-Sea, Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Sandwich and Herne Bay — routes many customers request for weddings, stag and hen weekends, and seaside celebrations.
Short hops like Margate to Broadstairs & Ramsgate are perfect for bar crawls or moving between hotels and venues. They’re quick, scenic and ideal for groups who want one continuous celebration without the hassle of taxis for everyone.

A quick anecdote: I once organised a surprise hen do that began with a sunset drive along Margate’s seafront — music pulsing through the cabin, lights changing colour, everyone laughing as we pulled up at the Harbour Arm. That shared moment before the venue made the night unforgettable. That’s the kind of experience people book us for time and again.
We take trust seriously. All operators listed are background-checked and vehicles are routinely inspected. Booking through Party Buses means a single point of contact, confirmed paperwork and clear payment terms — no unwelcome surprises on the day.
Ready to plan? Think about guest numbers, desired features and the type of journey you want — one-way, round trip or multiple stops. If you need advice on capacity (is a 16 seater party bus best, or would two small buses work better?) we’ll happily guide you through options and estimate costs so you can make the best choice for your group and budget.
If you’re picturing a lively arrival outside Dreamland, a classy shuttle between venues or a safe, stylish transfer for prom night, Party Buses makes it simple. Get in touch, compare a shortlist of vehicles, and let us help you turn travel time into part of the celebration.
