20 Passenger Party Bus

All of our 20-passenger party buses come standard with wraparound seating, multiple flat-screen TVs, a Bluetooth-enabled sound system, color-changing LED lighting, and either hardwood or laminate flooring that’s perfect for dancing. You’ll also get built-in beverage stations with ice storage, cup holders, and optional glassware racks, plus a powerful HVAC system to keep the entire cabin comfortable in any weather. Additional features include tinted windows for privacy, USB charging ports at every seat, and a rear luggage area or exterior storage compartment for bags and personal items. This is one of the most versatile and well-equipped mid-size party buses available anywhere in San Diego County.

The cost to rent a 20-passenger party bus typically ranges from $150 to $340 per hour, with daily rates between $1,000 and $2,400 depending on the length of your trip, time of year, and exact pickup location. Weekday rentals are usually less expensive than weekends, and longer trips may qualify for discounted package pricing. Your quote includes the bus itself, a driver, fuel, and standard amenities like LED lighting, sound system, and flat-screen TVs. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees at your destination, or an overnight hotel room for the driver (if required) are not included in the base rate. Gratuity for the driver is typically included upfront but can be adjusted based on service. Because pricing varies based on availability and specific trip details, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to call our office with your exact itinerary—we’ll provide a custom quote and help you get you a package that fits your budget. Ask about special rates for weekday events, multi-day bookings, or last-minute deals on unsold inventory.

The 20-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and versatility. It offers significantly more seating and standing room than our smaller 10- to 15-passenger models, making it ideal for mid-sized groups who want to travel together without splitting up. Compared to larger 30- or 40-passenger buses, it’s easier to maneuver through tight city streets, costs less to rent, and still packs in all the premium amenities like wraparound seating, powerful sound systems, and LED lighting. While a minibus or shuttle might be better suited for corporate events or airport transfers due to their forward-facing seats and subdued interiors, the 20-passenger party bus is purpose-built for celebrations—perfect for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or nights out. It’s the best choice when you need something bigger than a van but don’t want to step up to a full-size coach.

We recommend booking your 20-passenger party bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your event falls during peak season or overlaps with major local events that can impact availability across the region. In Escondido, spring and summer are extremely busy due to wedding season at venues like Cordiano Winery and The Ranch at Bandy Canyon, as well as prom and graduation events for local high schools and colleges. Fall weekends fill up quickly with bookings for Chargers and Aztecs football games, while December sees high demand from holiday parties and corporate gatherings. Large-scale events such as the San Diego County Fair, Comic-Con, and festival weekends in Balboa Park will tighten supply not just downtown but in surrounding areas too. Because these buses are in constant rotation between city center and suburban jobs, last-minute reservations are difficult to accommodate once the calendar fills. Lock in your date early to ensure you get the vehicle you want at the best possible rate—once reserved, your price and bus are guaranteed even if demand spikes later.
