- Downtown Parking: Finding parking for large vehicles downtown can be challenging. Our drivers are experts at navigating and finding appropriate drop-off/pickup points.
- Venue Access: Confirm with specific venues (bars, clubs, restaurants) if they have designated party bus drop-off zones or any restrictions.
- Booking Lead Time: For major events (Mizzou games, graduation, large concerts), book your party bus at least 3-6 months in advance.
- Alcohol Policy: Confirm our specific alcohol policy when booking. Generally, open containers are allowed on the bus for passengers 21+, but strict rules apply to outside the vehicle.
