You should book your Vista party bus as early as possible—ideally 4 to 6 weeks before your event—to ensure the best selection and pricing. Spring and summer dates fill up fast due to wedding season, prom nights, and graduations at local schools like Rancho Buena Vista High, so reserve even earlier if your trip falls between March and June. Last-minute bookings are accepted if we have availability, but waiting may limit your options or result in higher rates. Securing your bus well in advance guarantees you get exactly what you want for your big day.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 20-30% of the total rental cost but may vary depending on the size of the bus and length of the trip. Full payment is due 7-14 days before the date of service. For bookings made within two weeks of the event, the entire balance must be paid upfront. We accept major credit cards, Zelle, and ACH transfers. The reservation is not confirmed until the deposit is received and the contract is signed.

Your quote includes the base rental rate for the bus, driver compensation, standard amenities, fuel, and mileage or hours specified in your itinerary. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips, and cleaning/damage charges are not included and are the responsibility of the renter. For example, parking at Petco Park ranges from $20-$50 depending on the lot, while SoFi Stadium bus parking is $160-$300 and must be purchased in advance. Any extra costs incurred during the trip will be billed after the event.
