Not sure whether a limo bus or a stretch limo is right for you? A party bus suits groups who want to stay together and party on the move, while a stretch limousine or Hummer limo can be better for smaller VIP groups. If everyone needs to travel together and the vibe matters between venues, choose a party bus; for a refined two‑person arrival, choose a stretch limo. You can read more in the Compare options section below.
Choose a party bus when the goal is group cohesion and continuous atmosphere — proms, concerts, festival runs or a full night out in Maidstone. If you’re splitting the night across towns (Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Canterbury), a multi-stop party bus keeps momentum and removes the taxi hassle.
A few practical pointers from people who hire regularly in Kent: consider booking your outward journey with a party bus and using a minibus or MPV for the return to save money; midweek hires or off‑peak times are often cheaper; and splitting the cost across passengers dramatically reduces per‑person prices. For help comparing operators and prices, our platform makes it straightforward — and reassuringly safe.
Share the cost with your group, be flexible on timing, or split travel into an outward party bus and a cheaper return minibus. That way you get atmosphere without overspending.

You’ll find everything from 12–16 seater limo buses to 20–24 seat luxury party coaches. For many groups a 16 seater party bus offers a lively balance of capacity and cabin space; larger groups often opt for coaches to ensure everyone travels together.
Book midweek if possible, share the fare between passengers, or consider a party bus out and a minibus back. Combining two smaller vehicles can also be more economical than one very large coach, depending on timings.
