14 Passenger Sprinter Limo

Sprinter Van Rental with Driver
When the priority is clean, point-to-point efficiency over a party atmosphere, the Sprinter Van Rental with Driver handles it well. Executive airport transfers from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), small corporate delegations heading to a meeting on Hurstbourne Parkway, or a tight-knit group shuttling between Churchill Downs and a hotel on 4th Street Live — these trips fit the Sprinter van perfectly. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$275; weekend rates run $225–$375.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control
- Bluetooth Sound System

15 Passenger Party Bus
A 15-passenger party bus covers a close-knit group heading out in Louisville without a lot of wasted space. Bachelorette groups hitting the NuLu bar circuit, birthday groups making their way from Germantown to the Highlands, or a Bardstown Road pub crawl where street parking is completely out of the question — this is the right size. Weekday hourly rates land between $200–$350; weekend rates run $250–$350.

18 Passenger Party Bus
An 18-passenger party bus gives a mid-sized group a little more room to move. Rehearsal dinner groups shuttling between a ceremony venue in Anchorage and a restaurant on East Market Street, friend groups hitting a Louisville City FC match at Lynn Family Stadium, or a work group heading to the KFC Yum! Center for a concert — eighteen seats handles all of it without overcommitting on size.

Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System

20 Passenger Party Bus
Twenty seats covers a solid-sized Louisville night out — enough for a full bachelorette weekend group or a company team heading from downtown to a Clarksville, Indiana distillery and back. When parking in the Highlands fills up and Uber surge pricing hits on a Saturday at midnight, a 20-passenger party bus keeps everyone on one bill and one pickup. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend rates run $275–$350, with per-day packages from $1,950–$2,800.

25 Passenger Party Bus
A 25-passenger party bus is a strong fit for larger friend groups, extended family gatherings, and multi-stop Louisville itineraries. Bourbon Trail circuits that wind through Clermont and Loretto, wedding shuttles running loops between a venue in Prospect and the Omni Louisville, or a group headed to a sold-out show at the Palace Theatre — twenty-five seats solves the coordination problem without going full charter bus. Weekend rates run $275–$375 hourly; weekday rates start at $250.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
28 Passenger Party Bus
The 28-passenger party bus bridges the gap when a 25-seat bus is a stretch and a 30-seat bus is more than you need. Corporate holiday events, large bachelorette parties originating at a hotel on West Main Street, or a fraternal organization night out before a Louisville Cardinals basketball game at the KFC Yum! Center — this vehicle carries the full headcount comfortably.
Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend rates run $275–$375.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
30 Passenger Party Bus
Thirty seats is the sweet spot for mid-sized event groups that need a full party setup — wraparound seating, a sound system, and enough room that nobody is stacked on top of each other. 30-passenger party buses are a reliable pick for Kentucky Derby party groups shuttling between a private box and an afterparty in NuLu, or larger corporate groups heading to an event at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. Weekday rates run $300–$375 hourly; weekend rates run $325–$425.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System

40 Passenger Party Bus
When the guest list grows into the forties, a 40-passenger party bus keeps the whole group together and eliminates the multi-vehicle coordination headache. Large prom groups from Eastern High School or Ballard High School, big birthday celebrations, corporate team outings headed to a Louisville Bats game at Louisville Slugger Field — all covered. Weekend hourly rates run $325–$500; weekday hourly rates run $300–$350, with per-day packages from $2,300–$3,500.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting

50 Passenger Party Bus
The 50-passenger party bus is Louisville's answer to a large-group night out that still wants the full party atmosphere — not just seats, but a full-length bar setup, LED lighting, and a sound system. Sorority and fraternity formals, large quinceañera celebrations, and multi-group Derby week nights out are all in range. Weekend hourly rates run $325–$500; weekday hourly rates run $300–$450, with per-day packages from $2,150–$4,050.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting

15-35 Passenger Minibus
A 15-35 passenger minibus is the practical backbone of Louisville group transportation — less flash than a party bus, more capacity than a Sprinter van, and easier to maneuver through downtown streets than a full charter bus. Wedding guest shuttles from a hotel block on 4th Street Live to a venue in Jeffersontown, airport transfer runs from SDF for conference attendees, or school group day trips to the Muhammad Ali Center (144 N 6th St) — the minibus handles it all cleanly. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$250.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control
- Bluetooth Sound System
- PA System
- Overhead Luggage Racks
40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Large Louisville groups — convention shuttles at the Kentucky Exposition Center (937 Phillips Ln), university athletic department travel, multi-day Kentucky Bourbon Trail itineraries for corporate retreats — belong on a 40-56 passenger charter bus. Undercarriage bays handle luggage and equipment that would never fit overhead; onboard restrooms eliminate pit stops on the stretch down I-65 toward Mammoth Cave. Weekday and weekend hourly rates both run $200–$350, with per-day packages from $1,350–$2,850.
Call 502-242-0101 to compare full charter bus options for your Louisville date.
