Party Bus Dallas makes it simple to keep your whole crew together for any of it. Call 903-421-9126 or get an all-inclusive quote online in under 30 seconds.

Party Bus Dallas has been handling group transportation across the DFW Metroplex since 2011 — including hundreds of trips starting from or arriving in Fort Worth each year. Whether the destination is the Will Rogers Memorial Center, Panther Island Pavilion, or a multi-stop crawl through the Stockyards and West 7th District, our reservation team takes care of every detail from first quote to final drop-off. You get all-inclusive pricing with no hidden surprises — the exact number lands in your inbox in under 30 seconds using our online tool, or you can work it out with a live agent at 903-421-9126 any time of day.
Our fleet runs from compact 14-passenger Sprinter limos and 15-passenger minibuses all the way up to 56-passenger charter buses — so whether your group is eight people doing a birthday dinner or 50 employees heading to a corporate event at the Fort Worth Convention Center, there's a vehicle sized to fit without paying for seats that stay empty. Every reservation comes backed by 24/7 support and a team that knows the difference between the I-30 interchange at rush hour and a wide-open Sunday morning on University Drive. Fort Worth party bus rental is what we do — and we've done it a lot.
The fleet covers every group size in Fort Worth: 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. ADA-accessible vehicles are available — just mention it when you book. You never pay for seats you don't fill.
Party buses in the 15- to 50-passenger range come loaded for a night out on West 7th or a concert at Dickies Arena: full-length onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating, premium Bluetooth sound, and an open center section for dancing. Minibuses are the right call for corporate transfers and wedding guest loops — powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, and overhead storage keep everyone comfortable on the short hop between downtown hotels and venues like Reata or The Sinclair. Full-size charter buses add undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets at every row — ideal for longer runs up I-35W to Denton or east on I-30 toward Dallas.

Fort Worth party bus rental prices run as follows: 14-passenger Sprinter limos start at $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Your final quote depends on the vehicle, total hours, mileage, and the date — a Stockyards weekend or a Rangers playoff game prices differently than a Tuesday corporate shuttle. Party Bus Dallas always provides all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds, so you know the full number before you commit to anything.

Fort Worth is not a city that moves slowly — the Stockyards pull crowds from across Texas every weekend, Globe Life Field draws tens of thousands on game nights, and the Sundance Square entertainment district gets genuinely congested on event evenings. Trying to move a group through that traffic without a plan means someone ends up circling the parking garage on Commerce Street for 20 minutes while everyone else is already at the bar. Party Bus Dallas takes that problem off your plate entirely.
Since 2011, we've run group transportation for every kind of occasion across Tarrant County — prom nights, corporate retreats at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, bachelorette weekends through the Near Southside bar circuit, school field trips to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and stadium runs to TCU football games at Amon Carter Stadium. Every booking gets a single point of contact, exact pricing before you ever confirm, and a 24/7 reservation team that picks up the phone whether your pickup is at noon or 2 a.m. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available with advance notice.
You'll never get a surprise invoice after the fact — what the quote says is what you pay. That's the whole model, and it's why groups across Fort Worth keep coming back.
Party Bus Dallas handles group transportation for every kind of occasion across Fort Worth and Tarrant County — airport transfers, concert nights, corporate shuttles, weddings, prom, sporting events, birthday celebrations, school field trips, and bar crawls. Whatever brings your group together in Cowtown, there's a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 903-421-9126 to get started.
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) (2400 Aviation Dr, DFW Airport, TX 75261) sits roughly 17 miles east of downtown Fort Worth — a straightforward drive on TX-183 or SH-360 until a busy Friday afternoon turns that stretch into a slow crawl. For convention groups flying into DFW and heading to hotels along West 7th or the Cultural District, trying to coordinate a dozen individual rideshares through Terminal D or E is the kind of headache nobody needs after a cross-country flight.
A Fort Worth airport shuttle bus keeps your entire group — and all of their luggage — moving together. Commercial pickup at DFW runs from the upper-level curb of each terminal's Departures roadway; your group collects bags and assembles first, then the bus comes to the commercial zone. For groups connecting to a cruise or continuing on to Dallas hotels, we coordinate multi-stop runs without missing a beat.
Dallas Love Field (DAL) is also covered for groups flying in or out of the closer Southwest hub. Call 903-421-9126 to book your Fort Worth airport group transfer.
Fort Worth's bachelor and bachelorette scene runs the full spectrum — from honky-tonks and mechanical bulls in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District (130 E Exchange Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76164) to the rooftop bars and craft cocktail spots along West 7th Street and the Near Southside. The Stockyards alone draws massive weekend crowds, and the narrow streets around Exchange Avenue get legitimately congested on Friday and Saturday nights — parking in the Stockyards lot off North Main fills early, and the spillover goes blocks away.
A Fort Worth bachelorette party bus keeps the whole crew together from stop to stop without anyone losing the group between Billy Bob's Texas and the next bar on the crawl. Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come with a full bar, color-changing LED lighting, premium sound, and flat-panel TVs — so the celebration starts on the bus, not when you finally find a table. No one has to skip drinks to drive, and no one gets left behind at close.
Call 903-421-9126 to plan the route.
Fort Worth has a vibrant quinceañera and Sweet 16 culture, and a party bus arrival at the venue is one of the most memorable entrances a birthday guest of honor can make. Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses are fully ready for custom setups — coordinate a color scheme, load a playlist, and let the guests of honor ride in style to their reception at venues like The Venue Fort Worth (2300 N Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76106) in the Stockyards corridor, or milestone celebrations at banquet halls along the Haltom City and North Side corridors where many Fort Worth quinceañeras are hosted.
For adult milestone birthdays heading to Sundance Square or a rooftop crawl through the Near Southside, a party bus rental in Fort Worth keeps your entire group together — nobody's driving, nobody's navigating, and nobody has to leave early because they're the designated driver. Color-changing LEDs, a full bar, and Bluetooth sound turn the ride into the first hour of the party. Call 903-421-9126 to book your Fort Worth birthday celebration.
Dickies Arena (1911 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, TX 76107) is Fort Worth's premier indoor venue — 14,000 seats packed against the Cultural District, with surface parking on Montgomery Street that fills fast and a garage on University Drive that backs up to the I-30 overpass on sold-out nights. Rideshare pickup after a show means competing with 13,000 other people for the same handful of available cars on Lancaster Avenue.
A Fort Worth concert party bus rental drops your group at the Montgomery Street entrance and waits nearby — so when the encore ends, everyone walks out to a bus instead of an app queue. Panther Island Pavilion (395 Puerta Vista Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76102) and outdoor shows at Bass Performance Hall (525 Commerce St, Fort Worth, TX 76102) round out the regular Fort Worth concert circuit. Party buses in the 15- to 50-passenger range come with a built-in bar, Bluetooth sound, and LED lighting — the energy doesn't start when you walk through the venue doors; it starts when you board.
Call 903-421-9126 for your Fort Worth concert group quote.
The Fort Worth Convention Center (1201 Houston St, Fort Worth, TX 76102) sits in the Sundance Square district and hosts some of the largest trade shows and conferences in North Texas. Street parking near Houston and Commerce is metered with a two-hour limit, and the nearby garages charge premium event rates. Getting employees or clients between downtown hotels and the convention center without a dedicated bus means relying on rideshares that spike in demand during major conference load-in windows.
A Fort Worth corporate charter bus rental handles that loop cleanly — drop-off at the Houston Street entrance, the bus waits nearby for return runs, and there's enough overhead storage for presentation materials and luggage. For companies based in the Fort Worth business corridor along I-35W or along Alliance Corridor in North Fort Worth, we build custom employee shuttle routes that bypass the morning slog on I-820. WiFi and power outlets on full-size charter buses mean your team arrives at the office or the conference working, not frustrated.
Call 903-421-9126 to discuss Fort Worth corporate shuttle contracts.
The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo — held at the Dickies Arena and Will Rogers Memorial Center (3401 W Lancaster Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76107) complex each January — draws over 800,000 visitors over three weeks, and it is the largest indoor rodeo in the world. The surrounding neighborhood on Lancaster Avenue and Montgomery Street operates under serious traffic management during peak Stock Show weekends, and parking fills hours before showtime. Groups that drive separately spend more time hunting for spots than watching horses.
A Fort Worth private charter bus rental handles Stock Show runs, family reunions hitting multiple stops across Tarrant County, church group outings, and holiday party shuttles from offices in Westover Hills or Ridgmar to Sundance Square and back. For any private event during Stock Show week in January or TCU home football Saturdays in September and October — when the area around Amon Carter Stadium on Stadium Drive backs up on both ends — booking a bus well in advance is the difference between a great night and a parking nightmare. Call 903-421-9126 to build your custom Fort Worth itinerary.
Prom season across Tarrant County — late April through May — is the single busiest window of the year for Fort Worth party bus rentals. High schools from Paschal and Nolan Catholic in the city core to Keller, Southlake Carroll, and North Crowley in the suburbs all schedule within a six-week stretch, and demand across the DFW fleet spikes hard. Book by January if your prom is in May — a typical 30-student, 6-hour prom rental that runs $1,800–$2,200 when booked in the fall can hit $2,800–$3,200 or simply be unavailable if you're calling two weeks out.
Party Bus Dallas works with parent committees and student groups across Tarrant County to set up prom and homecoming transportation tailored to your school's specific pickup address, pre-prom photo stop, venue drop-off, and after-party return. Every itinerary is confirmed in writing. Students arrive together, on time, and in one piece — which is exactly what every parent in the group text chain wants to hear.
Call 903-421-9126 today to hold your date.
The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History (1600 Gendy St, Fort Worth, TX 76107) sits in the heart of the Cultural District and serves as one of the most popular field trip destinations in Tarrant County. Bus drop-off uses the Gendy Street entrance, with designated school group unloading along the museum drive. The museum requests field trip bus reservations well in advance, particularly for spring semester when availability in February through April fills quickly.
The Fort Worth Zoo (1989 Colonial Pkwy, Fort Worth, TX 76110) — consistently ranked among the best zoos in the country — handles large school groups with dedicated bus parking off Colonial Parkway, and the Kimbell Art Museum (3333 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth, TX 76107) offers structured school programs in its Renzo Piano Pavilion. A Fort Worth school charter bus keeps students together from pickup to return, with reclining seats, overhead storage, and TV monitors to keep everyone occupied on longer drives. ADA-accessible buses are available with advance notice.
Call 903-421-9126 to coordinate your Fort Worth field trip.
Globe Life Field (734 Stadium Dr, Arlington, TX 76011) — home of the Texas Rangers — sits about 20 miles east of downtown Fort Worth on I-30, and that stretch of the highway is one of the most congested corridors in the Metroplex on home game nights. Parking in Globe Life Field's lots opens 3.5 hours before first pitch and ranges from $15 for remote lots to $40+ for premium spots near the gates — and post-game exit traffic on I-30 eastbound and the SH-360 interchange can add 45 minutes to any drive home. A Fort Worth charter bus rental to Globe Life Field drops your group at the stadium's designated bus zone and waits for the return pickup, while everyone else sits in the parking structure waiting for traffic to clear.
Amon Carter Stadium (2850 Stadium Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76129) — TCU Horned Frogs football — is right in the city and draws big crowds on fall Saturdays, with neighborhood streets around University Drive and Stadium Drive filling up hours before kickoff. For Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks games at American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Ave, Dallas, TX 75219), a bus handles the full I-30 East run and gets your Tarrant County crew to Victory Park without the downtown Dallas parking bill. Call 903-421-9126 for a Fort Worth sporting event group quote.
Fort Worth's wedding venue landscape stretches from the ornate interiors of Ashton Depot (610 Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76102) in the heart of downtown to sprawling Hill Country-style properties in the surrounding suburbs. Getting out-of-town guests from hotels on Commerce Street or along I-30 near TCU to a ceremony at a venue like The Winslow (1025 Henderson St, Fort Worth, TX 76102) in the Near Southside — or back again after a late reception — without asking anyone to navigate one-way downtown streets or pay for Uber surge pricing at midnight is exactly the problem a Fort Worth wedding shuttle solves.
A minibus loop from the hotel to the ceremony and reception keeps the timeline tight and gives guests who flew in from out of town one less thing to figure out in an unfamiliar city. For the bachelorette the night before, the same party bus that runs the Stockyards crawl can double as the wedding-day transportation plan. Party Bus Dallas has been handling Fort Worth wedding shuttles since 2011 — single point of contact, confirmed pickup windows, and clean departures from first look to final send-off.
Call 903-421-9126 for a Fort Worth wedding transportation quote.
The Fort Worth Near Southside has built one of the most walkable bar and brewery corridors in North Texas, anchored along Magnolia Avenue between 8th and Hemphill Streets. Stops like Panther City Brewing Company (800 Lipscomb St, Fort Worth, TX 76104), Chimera Brewing (601 W Magnolia Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76104), and HopFusion Ale Works (200 E Broadway Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76104) in the Northside make a natural multi-stop tasting circuit — and when the evening extends to Sundance Square or the West 7th bar strip, parking between neighborhoods gets annoying fast.
A Fort Worth party bus rental keeps your group together at every pour without anyone doing math on who's fit to drive. For wine-focused itineraries, Lone Star Wine Cellars (1628 8th Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76104) in the Near Southside or day trips west on US-377 to the Granbury wine corridor around Lake Granbury are popular routes. One bus, one flat rate, no designated driver negotiations.

Booked this for my sister's bachelorette and honestly it set the whole tone for the night. Twelve of us piled in, the LED lights were already going, and we hit three spots around Fort Worth without anyone having to figure out parking or rides. The built-in bar meant we could keep the party going between stops. Everybody kept asking how I found it. 10/10, would do it again in a heartbeat.

Our company did a year-end thing and rented this to shuttle the team between the office and dinner. I expected something boring and corporate but the sound system and lights had everyone loosening up before we even got to the restaurant. Plenty of room to actually talk and move around. Made a regular work night feel like an event. Already telling other departments to do the same.
Aaliyah T.
Wedding day transportation, and this was the best call we made. The whole bridal party fit comfortably, hair and dresses and all, and we rolled up to the venue with the music going. Booking was simple and they had us where we needed to be on time. Getting everyone from the ceremony to the reception with zero stress was worth every penny.
Danny
Took this out for a brewery tour with about ten buddies. The whole point was nobody wanting to keep track of who was driving, and this solved it instantly. We hit four breweries, played our own playlist the entire time, and the space inside was way bigger than it looks. Honestly the bus between stops was half the fun. Solid move for any group day-drinking around Fort Worth.
Fort Worth party bus rental prices depend on the vehicle, the date, and how many hours you need. As a guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Peak dates — Prom season, Stock Show week in January, Rangers playoff games, and TCU home Saturdays — price higher and book earlier.
The fastest way to get an exact number for your date is to call 903-421-9126 or use the online quote tool. You'll see all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds with no hidden costs.
Globe Life Field's designated commercial vehicle and bus drop-off is along Stadium Drive on the north side of the ballpark, near the main gate approach. After drop-off, bus parking is coordinated through the Rangers' parking operation — oversized vehicle passes must be purchased in advance through MLB.com/Rangers/Ballpark/Transportation, as no bus parking passes are sold at the gate on game day. The lot nearest the north entrance opens 3.5 hours before first pitch.
We always recommend reviewing the official Rangers transportation page before your visit to confirm current lot assignments and approach roads.
At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), commercial buses pick up from the upper-level Departures curb at each terminal — not the lower Arrivals roadway. Once your full group has collected luggage and is assembled together inside the terminal, your group coordinator calls to confirm the bus moves to the correct terminal's commercial lane. Because DFW has five terminals spread across a large campus, it's critical that everyone knows their terminal before the bus is summoned.
Do not request the bus until the complete group is together — DFW enforces strict loading time limits in the commercial zones. We recommend reviewing the official DFW ground transportation page before your arrival day.
Yes. Charter buses and party buses drop off at Dickies Arena (1911 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, TX 76107) along Montgomery Street, with the main pedestrian entrance accessible directly from the curbside drop zone. After drop-off, the bus waits off-site or in the University Drive corridor during the event.
Rideshare pickup after shows is designated in a specific zone on the east side of the building — a separate location from the main entrance — so arranging a private bus pickup means your group exits and boards in one coordinated move rather than chasing an app pin across the parking lot at midnight. We recommend checking the official Dickies Arena parking page for current event-day drop-off protocols.
Fort Worth's busiest booking windows are prom season (late April–May), Stock Show week (mid-January), TCU home football Saturdays (September–November), and Rangers playoff runs (October). During those stretches, the right-size vehicles book weeks or months in advance and pricing reflects demand. Outside peak periods — weekday corporate shuttles, January post-Stock Show weekends, February bar crawls — availability is much easier and rates are lower.
Regardless of timing, the earlier you book, the better your vehicle selection and rate. For most events outside the peak windows, 3–4 weeks of lead time is workable. For prom and Stock Show, plan for 4–6 months minimum.
For most Fort Worth events, booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance secures the best vehicle and pricing. For high-demand dates — prom (book by January for May), Fort Worth Stock Show week in January, TCU home games, Rangers playoff games, and New Year's Eve — plan 3–6 months out. Prom in particular fills the entire DFW fleet within a narrow window: a 30-student rental that costs $1,800–$2,200 when booked in the fall can climb to $2,800+ or show zero availability if you wait until April.
The online quote tool shows real-time availability — call 903-421-9126 or check now before your date closes out.
Fort Worth's destination list runs from rodeo arenas and honky-tonks to world-class museums and a baseball stadium that fills up on a Tuesday night in July. These are the venues we cover most often — here's what your group needs to know before game day or showtime.
The Fort Worth Stockyards (130 E Exchange Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76164) is arguably the most iconic entertainment district in Texas — a 98-acre National Historic District where twice-daily longhorn cattle drives still run down Exchange Avenue every morning and evening. Billy Bob's Texas (2520 Rodeo Plaza, Fort Worth, TX 76164), billed as the world's largest honky-tonk with capacity for 6,000 guests, anchors the nightlife. Weekend crowds on Exchange Avenue are genuinely massive, and parking in the main Stockyards lots off North Main Street fills before 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
The side streets around Mule Alley and the newer Mule Alley shops on the east side of the district add foot traffic that makes a late-night Uber request a 20-minute wait. A party bus drops your group on Exchange Avenue and picks up exactly where you left off. Address: 130 E Exchange Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76164 | Phone: (817) 624-4741
Dickies Arena opened in 2019 as a $450 million, 14,000-seat multipurpose venue in the Cultural District — the home of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo's indoor events, sold-out concerts, and major NCAA events. The venue sits at the intersection of Montgomery Street and University Drive, with a surface lot on Montgomery and a shared garage off University Drive that backs up to Lancaster Avenue after large shows. Parking for standard events costs $15–$25 in the adjacent lots, and the post-show pedestrian crowd on Montgomery Street spills into the roadway for 30–45 minutes after a sold-out concert.
Official rideshare pickup is designated on the east side of the building, away from the main entrance — which means a planned bus pickup at the main Montgomery Street curb is the cleanest exit in the building. Address: 1911 Montgomery St, Fort Worth, TX 76107 | Phone: (817) 413-8000
Sundance Square is Fort Worth's downtown entertainment hub — 35 city blocks of restaurants, rooftop bars, live music, and the legendary Sundance Square Plaza anchored by the ornate 1895 Tarrant County Courthouse. The district runs along Main Street and Houston Street between 3rd and 8th Streets, with metered street parking that maxes out within the first 30 minutes on any Friday evening. The nearest parking garages — including the Commerce Street Garage and the 4th Street Garage — charge event rates on busy weekends.
Post-midnight Uber demand after bar close spikes across the entire downtown core at once, and wait times routinely stretch past 20 minutes. A charter bus parked in the designated commercial zones on Calhoun Street or near Main Street keeps your group's exit clean — no scramble for the last few rideshares at 1 a.m. Address: 420 Main St, Fort Worth, TX 76102 | Phone: (817) 255-5700
The Fort Worth Zoo (1989 Colonial Pkwy, Fort Worth, TX 76110) consistently ranks among the top five zoos in the United States and draws over 1.1 million visitors annually across its 64-acre campus in Forest Park. The zoo features a 2.5-acre African Savanna, Museum of Living Art reptile house, and the impressive Amazonia rainforest habitat. School groups and family reunion groups should note that the main surface lot off Colonial Parkway fills quickly on spring weekends and Saturday mornings during spring semester field trip season.
The zoo requests that school groups with large bus fleets coordinate drop-off timing in advance to manage the Colonial Parkway approach. The Forest Park neighborhood streets around the zoo are residential — no bus staging on side streets. One coordinated bus drop-off at the main Colonial Parkway entrance is far simpler than managing six separate cars.
Address: 1989 Colonial Pkwy, Fort Worth, TX 76110 | Phone: (817) 759-7555
Amon Carter Stadium (2850 Stadium Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76129) sits on the TCU campus in central Fort Worth with a capacity of just over 47,000 — and on a Big 12 home Saturday, the surrounding streets go from quiet neighborhood to full gridlock in under an hour. Stadium Drive itself narrows approaching the north gate, and parking in TCU's campus lots requires an advance permit purchased through the university. The closest off-campus paid lots around University Drive and Bellaire Drive fill before kickoff for rivalry games against Texas and Baylor.
Groups tailgating together by bus skip the permit scramble entirely — the bus waits in a designated commercial area and the group walks directly to the gate. Post-game exit on Stadium Drive toward I-30 is slow; having a bus waiting beats standing on a residential corner waiting for a rideshare. Address: 2850 Stadium Dr, Fort Worth, TX 76129 | Phone: (817) 257-7967
The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History (1600 Gendy St, Fort Worth, TX 76107) is a 166,000-square-foot Cultural District anchor that houses the Noble Planetarium, an IMAX theater, the DinoDig outdoor fossil excavation site, and the Cattle Raisers Museum. It is the most-visited museum in Fort Worth and one of the top field trip destinations in North Texas. School bus drop-off is designated on the Gendy Street museum drive loop, with a staging area for multiple buses during large school days.
The museum's busiest field trip window runs February through May — groups that don't book programs in advance during this window often find date and program availability closed out. Lunch coolers stored in bus undercarriage bays allow groups to eat outdoors at the museum's courtyard picnic area between exhibits without hauling bags through the galleries. Address: 1600 Gendy St, Fort Worth, TX 76107 | Phone: (817) 255-9300
