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 24-bus fleet, 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 on The Goldilocks Party Bus
Late summer is prime Goldilocks season — Minnesota State Fair shuttle runs (Aug 27–Sept 7), brewery patio crawls and the last big bachelorette Saturdays. Once school starts it turns homecoming chariot — fall weekends go fast.

Our Driver Hannah was amazing at accommodating for whatever we wanted that night. She made sure that everyone was having fun while still following rules. She was great at communicating with us. This was the best experience for my 21st.

★★★★★
We had a great experience with Rent My Party Bus for a two-way trip reservation. Communication leading up to the reservation was excellent, both buses arrived right on time, and they were very flexible when we needed to adjust our return trip pickup location and route. Both drivers were friendly, polite, and professional. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!

FAQ
What Does The Flower Wall Say?
It says “Trust Me You Can Dance”
Can we play our own music?
Yes, you can connect via Bluetooth and be the DJ.
How much does it cost to rent The Goldilocks Party Bus?
Full rates are posted right on this page — see the rate card above. Rates vary by day and hours, and Saturdays book first. Call or text 612-226-1188 to lock in your date.
Is there a deposit to reserve the bus?
Yes, your reservation is secured with a deposit. The remaining balance is typically due before your trip (we’ll confirm timing during booking).
How far in advance should I book?
Weekends (especially spring–fall) book fast. For the best time slots, book 2–6+ weeks ahead. Sometimes we can still pull off a day of event but it’s a lot harder.
What’s included in the rental?
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.
How many people fit on The Goldilocks Party Bus?
This bus seats up to 15 passengers comfortably.
Where can you pick us up and drop us off?
We can pick up/drop off anywhere in the Twin Cities (and beyond).
Can we make multiple stops?
Yes, you can make as many stops as you like as long as it’s within your time frame.
How long should we book the Goldilocks Party Bus for?
Most groups book 3–5 hours for dinner + bars, or 6+ hours for a full night out.
What if we run late at pickup?
We recommend having your group ready early. Late starts may reduce drive time and stops, depending on the schedule
Can we add overtime during the trip?
Usually yes if the bus is available.
How much should we tip the driver?
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.
Can we decorate the bus?
Light, removable decorations are usually fine (think balloons, banners, table décor). No confetti, glitter, silly string, or anything permanent.
Do you allow food on the bus?
Small snacks are usually okay. If you want to bring a full meal/catering, ask us first so we can plan for cleanup.
Is there a cleaning fee?
A standard cleaning policy applies. Excessive mess may result in an additional cleaning charge—keep it simple and you’re good.
What is your cancellation policy?
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.
Is The Goldilocks Party Bus good for photos?
Yes, this bus is amazing for pictures (gold vibe + photo-worthy interior features).
