🥂 Party Bus Packages Explained – What’s Included & What’s Not

When booking a party bus in London, it’s natural to wonder exactly what you’re paying for — and what you’re not. Whether it’s for a hen do, birthday, or corporate night out, understanding the details can make all the difference between an okay night and an unforgettable one.

This guide breaks down what’s included in a party bus package, what upgrades are worth considering, and what to watch out for when comparing companies.

🚍 What’s Typically Included in a Party Bus Package

Every operator is different, but a standard party bus hire (like those at Champagne Tours London) usually comes with a combination of core inclusions that deliver a premium experience from start to finish.

🎵 1. Music & Sound System

A high-quality Bluetooth or DJ-level sound system is a must. You can usually connect your playlist or let the driver handle it.
✅ Pro Tip: Pre-load your own Spotify playlist and sync it before boarding.

💡 2. LED Lighting & Interior Design

Expect ambient neon or LED lighting, dance poles, leather seating, and tinted windows — all designed to turn your ride into a private nightclub on wheels.

🥂 3. Drinks (BYOB or Add-On Service)

Most London operators allow BYOB (Bring Your Own Beverages), while some premium packages include complimentary bubbly or mixers.
At Champagne Tours London, we offer glassware, ice, and drink storage — so you can keep the vibes cool and classy.

📸 4. Photography Opportunities

Some packages include photo stops at iconic landmarks such as:

Tower Bridge
Piccadilly Circus
Westminster
Shoreditch graffiti walls

These make perfect Instagram moments to remember the night.

🧭 5. Professional Driver & Custom Route

All packages include a licensed professional driver, familiar with the best London routes.
You can pre-select drop-off and pick-up points or request a custom route for your event theme.

🚫 What’s Not Typically Included

Transparency matters. Here’s what’s usually not part of your standard package — but can often be added on request.

❌ 1. Alcohol Supply

Due to licensing laws, many operators cannot legally sell alcohol, though you can bring your own beverages or add a bar package if offered.

❌ 2. Entry Fees to Clubs or Venues

If your route includes nightclub or restaurant stops, entry fees aren’t usually included — unless stated as part of a VIP bundle.

❌ 3. Cleaning Fees (if excessive)

Basic cleaning is included, but spills, confetti, or damage may result in an additional fee.

❌ 4. Extra Hours

Your hire is typically booked by the hour. Extending the ride mid-event is possible but may incur a premium rate.

🌟 Optional Add-Ons Worth Considering

If you want to elevate your experience, consider these popular add-ons:

Add-On	Description	Avg. Cost (Estimate)
Professional Photographer	Capture every moment in HD	£80–£150
Live DJ or Host	Keep energy flowing	£150–£300
Decorations & Balloons	Custom colour themes	£50–£120

💬 Why Transparency Matters

A reputable provider (like Champagne Tours London) will give you a clear breakdown of inclusions before booking — no hidden fees or surprises.
When comparing quotes, always ask:

Does the quote include fuel and driver time?
Are stops and photo breaks counted in the hire time?
Is a deposit required to confirm?

The clearer the terms, the smoother your celebration.
