The only thing better than prom limousines is a prom party bus! Nothing beats the style of arriving with your BFF’s and best buds riding on a 20 passenger party bus for the night of your life. Nothing else makes the statement that there’s history to be made and you’re going to be right in the middle of it all better than a 20 passenger party bus! But since there are practically thousands of prom party bus companies in LA alone, it is very easy to choose the wrong company and make the night unforgettable in all the wrong ways. There have been true stories of limos and party buses never showing up, and spoiling what could have been a magical time. So to avoid experiences like that, here are 3 tips to remember while you’re looking to hire a 20 passenger party bus for your prom night.
1. Make sure that the company you look to hire from has its own rides. There are many companies out there that merely act as brokers for other companies, they will just take the money and refuse any responsibility after that. Avoid dealing with brokers entirely, and take your business exclusively to companies that have their own party buses. Also, check up on the company you’re looking at on websites like Yelp.com and Limos.com. If possible, look for third party approvals and ratings like BBB ratings too. They are usually the seals of approval about the company’s legitimacy and guaranteed good service.
2. Next go down to the company lot and check the fleet for yourself. Many prom party bus companies have second-rate party buses that are old and smell of grease. Make sure that the 20 Passenger Party Bus you’re hiring from them is no more than 3 years old. Also, make sure that the rides are fitted with the latest equipments like surround sound systems and plasma screens, and the A/C setups are top notch. Every company, even if they charge the cheapest rentals around, should be able to offer their customers clean, up-to-date and well maintained party buses. And don’t forget the chauffeurs too, make sure that they have all the permits and licenses, and the company can take guarantee of them too.
3. And the third is the most important of all – don’t forget to take a signed contract! Getting a signed contract from the company will make sure that they don’t pull out on you at the last second and leave you stranded. If they refuse to sign or offer a contract, take your business elsewhere. Also, make sure that all the paperwork is in place, the permits and the licenses, everything. The state of California mandates that every limo and Prom Party Bus company have certain permits and pass to even operate. So it is imperative that all the important paperwork is in place.
