The Emerald is the newest bus in our mini lineup — a 15-passenger party bus wrapped in VIP emerald chrome, with an emerald-and-black interior, a custom flower wall, and a neon glow that makes every group photo look like a music video. Smallest footprint in the fleet, some of the biggest personality.
Inside it’s all newest-line party tech: a premium Kicker sound system with Bluetooth, music-activated lights, two spinning dance poles, light-up cup holders, and a light-up bar and cooler area over hardwood floors. Fifteen seats is the sweet spot for brewery tours, birthdays, bachelorette parties, and nights out where the whole crew fits in one conversation.
Like every Rent My Party Bus ride, the Emerald comes with a licensed CDL chauffeur, full insurance and DOT inspection, and pickup anywhere in the Twin Cities metro. Compare all the mini party buses, see every bus and current rates — or if your list outgrows 15, the Unicorn seats 25.
The Emerald stays busy through late summer with brewery tours and State Fair shuttle runs (Aug 27–Sept 7), then rolls into fall concert season. If your crew has a September show on the calendar, lock the date now.
Every driver holds a commercial CDL license and knows every venue in the Twin Cities. They handle the road — you handle the dance floor.
All 24 buses are fully insured, DOT-registered, and DOT-inspected — maintained by our own full-time repair shop, the only one of its kind among Twin Cities party bus companies.
The price we quote is the price you pay. Every bus’s rates are posted right on our site — no surprise fees.
Planning at 1am? So are we. Our office and our mechanics are on duty nights and weekends — whenever the buses are rolling. Call or text 612-226-1188 anytime.
Spring–fall Saturdays book out 2–6 weeks ahead — check your date before it’s gone.
My group had a great time on the party bus! The bus was clean and set up well for us. The driver, Alex, was fun but also a professional. Very clear communication about rules and expectations, which I appreciate since having a bus full of tipsy bachelorettes can get out of hand easily. I would definitely use Rent My Party Bus again.
Party bus was so much fun! Staff was amazing and so kind! Highly recommend!
Great experience! Driver was safe, accommodating, and professional. Clean and comfortable.
Great experience, highly recommend
The process was easy, they communicate very well. I got the bus i wanted. The driver was great.
Booking our bus was a breeze. Loved our "Emerald" mini-bus for a bachelorette party! The inside of the bus was decorated nicely. The speakers were good quality. Our driver Mitch reached out before our event to make sure our questions were answered. He was professional, drove safe, had some fun banter with our group, and was on-time picking us up and dropping us off. We hopped off to go to a bar and he sent us a text to remind us to get back on the bus to get us home on time. We would book again!
The Emerald’s pink flower wall has a neon sign that says “Let’s Party” — it sits at the back of the bus and doubles as the group photo backdrop.
The Emerald seats up to 15 riders — it’s a mini-class bus from our newest line. If your list keeps growing, step up to a 25-seat medium like the Unicorn, or a 35–40 seat full-size bus.
Rates vary by day and season — Sunday–Thursday runs are the best value, and current pricing for every bus is on our rates page. Every quote is all-in: rate, fuel charge, and driver gratuity included, so the price we give you is the price you pay.
Yes — everyone drinking must be 21 or older, and you bring your own. The Emerald’s light-up bar and cooler area was built for exactly this.
Fifteen-person crews: brewery tours, birthday nights, bachelorette and bachelor parties, concerts, and just-because Saturday cruises. The flower wall and neon sign make it a photo favorite for milestone birthdays.
Spring through fall Saturdays book out two to six weeks ahead — and as one of only five minis in the fleet, the Emerald goes fast. We can often fit last-minute trips: call or text 612-226-1188 and we’ll tell you straight what’s open.
Yes, you can connect via Bluetooth and be the DJ.
Yes, your reservation is secured with a deposit. The remaining balance is typically due before your trip (we’ll confirm timing during booking).
A professional driver, the bus, and all onboard features (sound system, lighting, photo spots, etc.). You’ll also get a clear itinerary plan before pickup.
We can pick up/drop off anywhere in the Twin Cities (and beyond).
Yes, you can make as many stops as you like as long as it’s within your time frame.
Most groups book 3–5 hours for dinner + bars, or 6+ hours for a full night out.
We recommend having your group ready early. Late starts may reduce drive time and stops, depending on the schedule
Usually yes if the bus is available.
A 20% driver gratuity is required on all rentals and is added at booking — your quoted total already covers it, so there’s nothing to figure out on the night. If your driver goes above and beyond, extra cash tips are appreciated but never expected.
Light, removable decorations are usually fine (think balloons, banners, table décor). No confetti, glitter, silly string, or anything permanent.
Small snacks are usually okay. If you want to bring a full meal/catering, ask us first so we can plan for cleanup.
A standard cleaning policy applies. Excessive mess may result in an additional cleaning charge—keep it simple and you’re good.
Cancellation terms depend on how close you are to the reservation date. The cancellation policy is listed in our Terms & Conditions.
Yes — the Emerald runs year-round and is fully heated, so it stays warm through a Minnesota January. Winter dates are popular for holiday light tours and birthdays, and if a snowstorm ever makes travel unsafe, we’ll work with you to reschedule.
Spring–fall Saturdays book out 2–6 weeks ahead — check your date before it’s gone.
