Best known for hosting the annual Kern County Fair each September, this 168-acre venue also features the Budweiser Pavilion (an outdoor concert stage), livestock barns, exhibit halls, and a full calendar of festivals, swap meets, and rodeos. People book party buses here for the weeklong Fair, Bakersfield’s St. Patrick’s Day Beer Fest, springtime Home & Garden Shows, car shows, and other large public events where parking is difficult and walking between attractions can be exhausting.

After the show, head to dinner or drinks without having to move your vehicle.

An iconic 1930s movie palace turned concert hall, the Fox Theater is one of Bakersfield’s most beloved live music venues.

Skip the hassle of finding street parking or walking several blocks after dark—a private bus will drop your group off comfortably at the curb and wait nearby until you’re ready to leave.

This 170-acre sports complex in south Bakersfield features 16 soccer fields, 8 baseball/softball diamonds, and multi-use space for tournaments year-round.

If you’re bringing multiple teams or a large fan section to an all-day tournament, renting a party bus is the most convenient way to keep everyone together and on schedule. Store coolers, tents, and gear bags onboard; relax in air conditioning between games; and celebrate a hard-fought victory with music and refreshments on the ride home.

The best way to get an accurate price is to call us with your trip details so we can provide a custom quote based on your exact itinerary.

Several factors influence the final price of your party bus rental. The most significant are the size and type of vehicle you choose, the total duration of your reservation, and the distance traveled. Additional considerations include the time of year (peak seasons like wedding season or prom season may have higher rates), day of the week (weekends are typically more expensive than weekdays), and any special requests for amenities or custom packages. If your trip requires the bus to stay overnight outside of Bakersfield, you may be responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. Large-scale events such as Bakersfield Christmas Parade, Condors games, and Bakersfield Marathon can also impact availability and pricing.

Bakersfield Party Bus Company has been serving Bakersfield and the surrounding areas for over 15 years, earning a reputation as one of the most trusted and reliable party bus companies in the region. We are committed to providing exceptional customer service from start to finish. Our team is available 24/7 to answer questions, assist with trip planning, and ensure that every detail of your reservation is handled professionally. We take pride in maintaining a modern fleet of vehicles and delivering a quality experience for every client.

We always recommend booking your party bus as early as possible to ensure the best selection and availability, especially if your event falls during a busy time of year like wedding season (spring/summer), prom season (April/May), or around major holidays. For most groups, reserving your bus at least 4-6 weeks in advance is sufficient, but larger groups or those with very specific vehicle requests should consider booking even earlier. Last-minute reservations are possible if we have availability, but waiting until the week of your event may limit your options and result in higher prices.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The remaining balance is due prior to the date of service. Payment can be made by credit card, ACH, or wire transfer. Once your contract is signed and deposit received, your bus will be locked in for the date and time specified. Full payment must be received before the vehicle is dispatched on the day of your event. Failure to pay the balance by the due date may result in cancellation of your reservation and forfeiture of your deposit.

Your quote includes the base rental rate for the vehicle, driver, fuel, and standard amenities. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations (if applicable) are not included and will be the responsibility of the customer. For example, if your trip involves traveling to an area where overnight parking or hotel rooms for the driver are required, you will need to cover those costs. It’s important to discuss your full itinerary with our team so we can provide an accurate estimate and identify any potential extra charges upfront. If you’re headed to a concert or game at a venue like Mechanics Bank Arena or Sam Lynn Ballpark, you’ll need to purchase a parking pass separately—these typically run $25-$50 depending on the event.

Getting a quote is quick and easy—simply call our office at 661-605-0920 or fill out the online form on our website with your trip details. We’ll need to know the date and time of your event, pickup and drop-off locations, number of passengers, and any specific requests for amenities or stops along the way. Once we have this information, we can usually provide a quote within minutes. If you decide to move forward, we’ll send you a contract to review and sign electronically. Your reservation is confirmed once the deposit is received.
