Rent My Party Bus Reviews
- Rated 5 out of 5. Google review
Rent My Party Bus exceeded all expectations! We rented a fully decked-out bus (Goldilocks) for a birthday celebration around the Twin Cities, and everything was seamless from the first inquiry to drop-off. A huge shoutout to our driver, Alyssa, who was absolutely fabulous. We will definitely use them again for our next event. Highly recommend!

We had a Sunday Funday Birthday Party and it was Fabulous! Ashley was a wonderful driver and we had a blast bumping beats, dancing and going from Brewery to Brewery!

It says "Trust Me You Can Dance"
Can we play our own music?

How long should we book the Goldilocks Party Bus for?

Cancellation terms depend on how close you are to the reservation date. The cancellation policy is listed in our Terms & Conditions.
Does the Goldilocks Party Bus run in winter?
Yes, the Goldilocks 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.

More about this bus
About The Goldilocks Party Bus
The Goldilocks is the gold standard of our mini lineup, a small party bus seating up to 15, wrapped in metallic gold chrome with a matching gold-and-black interior, a custom flower wall, and a neon glow built for group photos. When a full-size bus is too much and a limo is too little, this one is just right.
Inside it’s all party: 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 bachelorette parties of 8–15, birthdays, brewery tours, and nights out where the whole crew stays in one conversation.
Rent My Party Bus has been rolling since 2008: 18 years, a fleet of 20+ party buses, and the only full-time in-house repair shop among Twin Cities party bus companies. Every ride includes a licensed CDL chauffeur, full insurance and DOT inspection, and pickup anywhere in the Twin Cities metro and western Wisconsin. Compare all our mini party buses, see every bus and current rates, or if gold isn’t your color, its emerald twin The Emerald seats 15 too.
This season. The Goldilocks is fully heated and runs all winter. In December it is a favorite for holiday lights tours and holiday parties, and New Year’s Eve dates go fast. Planning something for spring or summer? Saturdays from May through September book first, so lock your date early.
