Sunnyvale Party Bus & Charter Bus Options

A 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right call when your group is small but the occasion isn't. Think bridal party pickups at a Santana Row hotel, executive airport runs to Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport (SJC), or a birthday dinner crawl through downtown San Jose. Premium leather, tinted windows, and a step-up interior give the ride its own energy — without requiring a full bus budget.

Weekday hourly rates run $200–$325; weekend rates $225–$350.

The Sprinter Van Rental with Driver handles the practical end of group travel — airport transfers for a arriving tech conference delegation, hotel-to-office shuttles along the Lawrence Expressway corridor, or moving a tight-knit group between two or three stops without the party-bus footprint. Weekday hourly rates fall in the $200–$275 range; weekend rates run $225–$375. It's a clean, comfortable, no-fuss option when the trip is about getting there, not the ride itself.

A 15-passenger party bus is the entry point into full party-bus amenities — onboard sound, LED lighting, and perimeter seating — for groups that don't need a 40-footer navigating Murphy Avenue on a Friday night. It fits neatly into tighter event drop-off zones and is a popular pick for birthday nights that hop between downtown Sunnyvale, Santana Row, and the San Pedro Square Market area. Weekday rates start at $200/hour; weekend rates at $250.

Step up to an 18-passenger party bus when a group of 15 feels a little snug but a 25-seat bus is more than you need. It's a solid fit for bachelorette groups leaving Sunnyvale for a night in the South Bay, or corporate team outings heading to a Mountain View rooftop. Amenities typically include Bluetooth audio, color-cycling LED lighting, and a bar setup.

Weekday hourly rates run $275–$350; weekend rates $275–$400.

A 20-passenger party bus gives you room to breathe without booking more bus than the group needs. It's a popular choice for quinceañera groups, milestone birthday outings, and company happy hours that spill out of the office and into the evening. From a Sunnyvale tech campus to SAP Center in San Jose — about 8 miles south on US-101 — a 20-passenger party bus keeps everyone together and on time.

Weekday rates: $250–$350/hour; weekends $275–$350.

The 25-passenger party bus is one of the most frequently booked sizes for Silicon Valley groups — versatile enough for a wedding shuttle circuit between a Sunnyvale ceremony and a reception venue in Los Altos, and big enough to handle a full friend group heading to a concert at SAP Center without splitting into cars. Flat-panel TVs, Bluetooth sound, and a full-length bar are standard on most. Weekday hourly rates: $250–$350; weekends $275–$375.

A 28-passenger party bus bridges the gap between a mid-size outing and a true large-group move. Corporate holiday parties leaving from a Sunnyvale campus, prom groups from Fremont High or Homestead High, or a wine tour rolling toward the Santa Cruz Mountains — the 28-passenger size handles all of it with room to spare. Expect LED lighting, a sound system, and perimeter seating.

Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend rates $275–$375.

When your headcount pushes past 25, a 30-passenger party bus is the next clean step. It's the go-to for larger bachelorette weekends, multi-stop birthday itineraries, and sports fan groups heading north on US-101 to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara for a 49ers game — where parking lots routinely fill by two hours before kickoff and rideshare queues back up past the stadium concourse. Weekday hourly rates: $300–$375; weekends $325–$425.

A 40-passenger party bus is the right vehicle when your event list runs long and your group runs larger. Corporate group outings, large family celebrations, and multi-venue pub crawl itineraries through downtown San Jose and Santana Row all fit comfortably here. The 40-passenger size also gives you enough seats to run a cost-per-head number that often undercuts what the same group would spend coordinating individual rideshares across the evening.

Weekday rates: $300–$350/hour; weekends $325–$500.

A 50-passenger party bus is the largest party bus option in the network — and it makes the most sense when the guest list is the event. Think company milestone parties, large multi-family outings, or a fan group heading to a playoff game at SAP Center (525 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113) when parking in the surrounding SoFA District is essentially gone by 5 PM. Weekday hourly rates: $300–$450; weekends $325–$500.

A 15-35 passenger minibus is the workhorse of South Bay corporate travel — climate-controlled, with reclining seats and overhead storage, but compact enough to navigate the tighter drop-off lanes at Apple Park in Cupertino or the arrival curb at SJC without the maneuvering challenges of a full-size coach. It's a top pick for employee shuttle runs, school field trips, and wedding guest transfers between hotel blocks and ceremony venues. Weekday rates: $200–$250/hour; weekends $200–$275.

A 40-56 passenger charter bus is built for the moves that require real capacity — conventions at the Santa Clara Convention Center (5001 Great America Pkwy, Santa Clara, CA 95054), multi-day conference shuttles, large school group trips, and sports team travel up and down the Peninsula. Undercarriage luggage bays handle equipment and baggage; onboard restrooms keep longer runs comfortable. Read the full breakdown at our Levi's Stadium charter bus guide for a sense of what game-day logistics actually look like.

Weekday and weekend hourly rates: $200–$350; per-day rates $1,350–$2,850.
