Thinking about booking a Miami party bus for your next big night out? It can be a great transportation option or even be your group’s main source of entertainment for the entire night! Are you unsure on pricing, vehicle types, potential stops and company options? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! This guide will cover all of that and more so you can ensure you book the right party bus at the right price for your next night out in Miami.
Set Your Budget
Going out on the town can be as cheap or as expensive as your group wants, as long as you plan accordingly. Otherwise you might spend more than you anticipated once the drinks are a flowin’. If you make sure to stock the party bus with plenty of alcohol you can reduce the number of drinks you have to buy at the bar, these quickly add up with drinks in South Beach averaging over around 20 dollars.
One of the best ways to save money on a party bus is by booking a round trip discounted rate. On a round trip service, you will only have access to the vehicle at the beginning and end of your reservation but it will save you a lot of money. Take advantage of this service by booking a dinner reservation near all of the clubs in Park West and plan on walking to your various stops throughout the night.
Another key part of your night’s budget will be what drinking establishments you decide to go to. Will you have beers at a bar or bottle service at a club?
Decide on your Vehicle
No two party buses are the same and finding the right one for you is crucial to your night’s success. We recommend only true party buses, outfitted with wraparound seating, surround sound speakers, LED mood lighting and bars. Check out our 6 things to look for in a Miami party bus article for more precise information. You will also want to make sure your party bus is big enough for your entire party plus a few extra spots in case you meet any fun locals!
Pick your Stops
Creating the perfect itinerary for your night out is just as important as finding the right vehicle! We’d love to tell you the exact route you should take, but everyone has their own preferences. Whether that’s dive bars, breweries, a winery, rooftop lounges or nightclubs. Personally, we recommend a little bit of everything!
Dinner
You’re going to want to eat before you start ripping polar bear fights at E11even, luckily Miami has one of the most diverse food scenes in the country. For a classic Miami spot, the original Joe’s Stone Crab has been around for over a 100 years. If you want to go fancy, check out the Surf Club, a Thomas Keller restaurant with 1950s glamor. And if you want something on the water, Amara at Paraiso serves delicious farm-to-table South American cuisine!
If you’re trying to save money on dinner and your Miami party bus rental, eat at the Airbnb. That way you don’t have to pay for the bus sitting out back while you eat out!
Bars
There are hundreds of drinking establishments in the 305 and far too many great ones to list in this article. We recommend starting off the evening with cocktails on the 1’s rooftop. Then head on over to Savage Labs in Wynwood for some great artisan cocktails and live music. You can spend the rest of your night here or head to a nightclub to finish it out in style!
Nightclubs
There’s two world class nightclubs in Miami that you’ve most likely already heard of, E11even and Space. Neither one will leave you with a bad night, but there’s a vast difference between them. Space is all about GA and is known for their sunrise sets. E11even is part nightclub/part stripclub and the line is crazy so you’ll likely have to buy a table to get in. Unfortunately, the table prices have gotten absolutely insane.
Luckily, there are a ton of other great clubs in Miami, including Story, LIV, Wall, Mynt and Bsaement. TWIST is also the best gay bar in the 305!
Bonus: Pictures!
Want memorable pictures from your unforgettable night out in Miami? Have your party bus take you down to the Wynwood Arts District or South Beach, preferably after dinner and before the bars. You can time it up with golden hour for some great pics on the water or with art installations. It’s also a great time to dance around the party bus a little longer and put back a couple more shots before you go out for the night.
Compare Quotes
Now that you’ve figured out your budget, what type of bus you want and where you’re going, it’s time to select the right party bus company. Your best option is to get quotes from all the major party bus companies in town. We might be a little biased, but we think Double Black is the best and will always have your back! Don’t trust us, get quotes from everyone and see how much cheaper Double Black’s is. We also have the newest and nicest buses with the coolest drivers!
