See live pricing & availability in seconds!
Party Bus Gilbert has been coordinating group transportation across the Phoenix metro since 2011 — thousands of trips completed, from spring training shuttles at Salt River Fields to corporate transfers between the Scottsdale Airpark and downtown conference hotels. Our reservation team is available 24/7/365, which matters when you're planning a bachelorette night that doesn't wrap until sunrise or coordinating arrivals for an executive retreat at The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North.
What you get when you book with us: all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds with no hidden surprises, a massive vehicle selection so your group never pays for seats it doesn't need, and one person handling your booking from the first quote to the moment your group steps off. We take care of everything — the routing, the pickup timing, and the approach to each venue — so you can focus entirely on the event itself. Whether your party is 10 people heading to a rooftop bar or 56 colleagues moving between sessions at the Scottsdale Convention Center, there's a vehicle in our fleet sized exactly right.
Call 602-338-9085 any time to get started.
Our fleet covers every group size the Valley throws at us: 14-passenger Sprinter limos, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know when you book and we'll match you with the right fit.
Party buses in our fleet come loaded with a full-length bar, wraparound perimeter seating, color-changing LED cabin lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and an open floor area — everything your bachelorette squad or birthday crew needs before the first stop. Sprinter limos bring premium leather seating, individual USB charging ports, and tinted privacy glass for smaller VIP runs. On full-size charter buses, you get high-back reclining seats, overhead parcel racks, climate control, onboard WiFi, power outlets at every row, and undercarriage luggage bays deep enough for coolers, golf bags, or corporate presentation equipment — plus an onboard restroom for longer hauls to Tucson or Sedona.

Party Bus Gilbert offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you'll know the exact number before you commit to anything. Scottsdale party bus and charter bus rental prices break down by vehicle size: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day.
Pricing shifts with mileage, the time of year, and vehicle type — but you will never hit a surprise charge. Spring training season (February through March), Barrett-Jackson week in January, and prom season (April through May) all tighten vehicle supply across the Valley, so rates climb when you wait.

Scottsdale runs on events, and the city's road network does not forgive late planning. Scottsdale Road backs up through Old Town on Friday and Saturday nights from October through April when the snowbird population swells the resident base. Loop 101 slows to a crawl when Footprint Center and Chase Field in downtown Phoenix both have events on the same evening.
Camelback Road between Scottsdale Fashion Square and the resort row can eat 45 minutes on a spring Saturday. These are facts every group organizer in the Valley knows — and the reason one bus consistently beats a caravan of cars.
When you book with Party Bus Gilbert, you get exact pricing before you ever commit, a 24/7/365 reservation team that picks up when you call at midnight, a vehicle matched to your actual headcount, and a confirmed pickup and drop-off plan for your specific venue. No coordination chaos, no per-car parking arithmetic, no designated-driver conversation at the end of the night. Since 2011 we have handled Scottsdale groups of every shape — resort-hopping bachelorettes, spring training fan groups, North Scottsdale corporate retreats — and our fleet is already familiar with every major pickup area, approach road, and event-day restriction across the Valley.
Call 602-338-9085 any time for an all-inclusive quote at no obligation.
Party Bus Gilbert coordinates Scottsdale group transportation for every occasion — airport transfers, weddings, corporate shuttles, bachelor and bachelorette parties, sporting events, proms, field trips, pub crawls, and more. Whatever brings your group together in the Valley, we have a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 602-338-9085 to get your group moving!
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (3400 E Sky Harbor Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85034) sits roughly 11 miles southwest of Old Town Scottsdale — a trip that looks short on paper but stretches quickly when I-10 or the Loop 202 Red Mountain backs up during peak arrival windows. Commercial buses pick up from the Ground Transportation areas on the Arrivals level at each terminal. At Terminal 4 — Sky Harbor's busiest — curbside commercial pickup zones run along the outer roadway on Level 1.
Your group coordinator should call our team once everyone has retrieved luggage and assembled at the agreed-upon door, since commercial dwell time at Sky Harbor is limited. Have your full group together before that call goes out — the wait time is real.
For groups flying into Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (6033 S Sossaman Rd, Mesa, AZ 85212), which sits about 30 miles southeast of Scottsdale, a private charter bus transfer makes considerably more sense than coordinating rideshares across a less-served East Valley corridor. We handle both airports, any terminal, any hour. Review the official Sky Harbor ground transportation page before you land for current commercial vehicle staging details.
Call 602-338-9085 to book your Scottsdale airport shuttle today.
Old Town Scottsdale is one of the premier bachelorette destinations in the country — the stretch along Scottsdale Road between Camelback and Thomas packs dozens of rooftop bars, nightclubs, and cocktail lounges into walking distance, but "walking distance" turns complicated fast when your crew is 14 deep at 1 a.m. Rideshare surge on Old Town weekends regularly hits 2–3x, and app pickups along Scottsdale Road after midnight can mean a 20-minute wait in the middle of the strip.
A Scottsdale bachelorette party bus keeps the whole squad together from the first stop to last call — no one splitting into separate rideshares, no one accidentally left behind at Bottled Blonde (7340 E Shoeman Ln, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) or Riot House (7150 E Camelback Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251). The built-in bar and sound system on our party buses mean the celebration starts the moment you pull away from the hotel. For the daytime portion of the trip, we'll run the crew to a Cactus League game at Salt River Fields, then move right into the evening itinerary.
Call 602-338-9085 now.
A party bus arrival is one of the most memorable entrances your guest of honor can make — and in a city full of gorgeous event spaces, the choices are exceptional. Whether the celebration is heading to Venue at the Grove (7601 E Indian Bend Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85250), a private event space in North Scottsdale's resort corridor, or a ballroom at one of the Scottsdale-area resorts, our party buses can have a custom playlist loaded and ready to match the energy of the night.
For adult milestone birthdays heading to Old Town rooftop bars or a dinner crawl through the restaurant corridor on Scottsdale Road near Main Street, a party bus makes it easy to hit three or four stops in a single evening without anyone worrying about parking at each one or the drive back to the hotel afterward. We offer a huge range of vehicle sizes — you never pay for seats you don't actually need. Call 602-338-9085 to plan your Scottsdale birthday celebration.
Scottsdale's live music circuit runs from intimate Old Town venues to stadium-scale amphitheaters, and parking is the common denominator headache at every level. Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre (formerly Ak-Chin Pavilion, now rebranded as the Arizona Financial Theatre for indoor shows and a separate outdoor venue) draws stadium-sized crowds to the western edge of the metro, where I-10 westbound becomes a parking lot after the encore. Desert Diamond Arena (9400 W Maryland Ave, Glendale, AZ 85305) hosts major touring acts and sits in the Glendale sports and entertainment complex alongside State Farm Stadium, meaning every concert night competes for the same Loop 101 corridor.
Closer in, Maya Day + Nightclub (7333 E Indian Plaza, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) and the bar cluster along Fifth Avenue pack Scottsdale Road solid on weekend nights.
A Scottsdale concert bus rental drops your group at the venue entrance and picks everyone up when the set ends — no surge pricing, no parking ramp, no drawing straws. Call 602-338-9085 for a quote.
The Scottsdale Convention Center (3939 N Drinkwater Blvd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) sits right in Old Town and hosts major healthcare, technology, and financial industry conferences year-round. Its surface lots max out early on peak conference days, and paid garages along Drinkwater Boulevard fill before morning sessions begin. A dedicated shuttle loop between conference hotel blocks — the clusters along Camelback Road and Goldwater Boulevard are the most common — and the convention center cuts out the parking scramble entirely and keeps your team arriving together.
For executive retreats at the Westin Kierland Resort (6902 E Greenway Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85254), the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn (5402 E Lincoln Dr, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253), or the resort corridor along Pima Road in North Scottsdale, a minibus handles team-building transfers with onboard WiFi and power outlets — so your staff stays productive between sessions instead of waiting in a valet queue. Call 602-338-9085 to discuss Scottsdale corporate shuttle contracts and group rates.
The Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction descends on WestWorld of Scottsdale (16601 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260) every January, drawing tens of thousands of attendees to the 250-acre grounds at the northeast corner of Loop 101 and Pima Road. Loop 101 northbound backs up for miles on peak auction days, and surface lots inside WestWorld fill early. A private charter bus drops your group at the venue entry gates and waits nearby — no scramble in the overflow lots, no long hike in January sunshine with your catalog in hand.
The Scottsdale Arts Festival in March and the parade of major spring training games at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick (7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258) produce the same pattern: high parking demand, slow exits, and spiking rideshare rates at the end of the event. One charter bus keeps your entire group together for one flat, predictable rate — no caravan coordination, no post-event surge fare. Call 602-338-9085 and we'll put together a transportation plan for your private event.
Prom season in the East Valley and North Scottsdale runs hard from late April through mid-May, with Scottsdale Unified, Paradise Valley Unified, and Chandler Unified high schools all holding their proms within a tight six-week window. Demand for party buses across the Phoenix metro spikes sharply during that stretch, and vehicle supply gets thin fast. For prom: book by December or expect premium pricing or no availability.
A typical 6-hour prom rental — school pickup, a photo stop at Camelback Mountain or a North Scottsdale estate, venue drop-off at an Old Town hotel ballroom, and an after-party return — runs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when reserved four to six months early, but climbs to $2,800–$3,500 or more with a last-minute booking. Parent committees and student groups across Scottsdale-area schools book with Party Bus Gilbert year after year because the confirmation process is straightforward and the bus shows up exactly as described. Call 602-338-9085 to lock in your date today.
Teachers and school administrators throughout Scottsdale Unified and Cave Creek Unified trust Party Bus Gilbert for reliable student transportation — from day trips to OdySea Aquarium (9500 E Via de Ventura, Scottsdale, AZ 85256) at the Talking Stick area to longer runs out to the Musical Instrument Museum (4725 E Mayo Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85050) in North Phoenix or the Arizona Science Center (600 E Washington St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) in downtown Phoenix.
Charter buses in our fleet give students and chaperones real advantages over yellow school buses: individual reclining seats, climate control against 100-degree spring afternoons, overhead storage for lunch bags and project materials, and TV monitors for educational content on the ride out. For longer hauls to Tucson or Sedona, onboard restrooms on select charter buses mean one efficient trip without repeated roadside stops. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know ahead of time.
Call 602-338-9085 for school field trip bus rentals in Scottsdale.
The Loop 101 Sports Complex in Glendale — home to State Farm Stadium (1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305) — sits 25 miles west of Old Town Scottsdale, and every Cardinals home game turns Loop 101 westbound into a slow crawl starting two hours before kickoff. Parking at State Farm Stadium costs $25–$45 for a surface lot pass, most lots require advance purchase, and the walk from remote overflow parking to the gates runs 15–20 minutes in the desert sun. A Scottsdale charter bus rental drops your group at the designated bus zone near the stadium and picks everyone up when the game ends.
For Cactus League spring training at Salt River Fields (7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258), the surrounding Talking Stick area gets gridlocked on sell-out February and March afternoons. Parking is limited and fills before first pitch on popular matchups. The Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field (401 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) and Phoenix Suns games at Footprint Center (201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004) in downtown Phoenix are two more regular destinations where one party bus beats the downtown parking math every time.
Call 602-338-9085 to book your game-day transportation.
Scottsdale is one of the country's most sought-after wedding destinations, and the resort corridor from Camelback Mountain north through Troon means your guests may be spread across hotel blocks 10 miles apart. A wedding shuttle in Scottsdale runs loops between a hotel block at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale at Gainey Ranch (7500 E Doubletree Ranch Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258), a ceremony at El Chorro (5550 E Lincoln Dr, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253), and a reception at a North Scottsdale resort — without anyone navigating Paradise Valley's winding mountain roads in heels or a tuxedo after dark.
Desert ceremony sites off Pima Road and private estate venues in the McDowell Foothills sit on roads that become genuinely confusing for out-of-town guests after sunset. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo handles the bridal party run on the morning of the wedding itself, while a 35-passenger minibus runs the guest shuttle loop throughout the evening. Because Party Bus Gilbert has been coordinating Scottsdale wedding transportation since 2011, your timeline stays tight with scheduled departures and one person handling everything from the first quote to the final drop-off.
Call 602-338-9085 for a free wedding transportation quote.
Arizona's wine country is closer to Scottsdale than most visitors realize — Verde Valley wine country around Cornville and Cottonwood sits roughly 90 minutes north on I-17, with tasting rooms at Page Springs Cellars (1500 N Page Springs Rd, Cornville, AZ 86325) and Javelina Leap Vineyard & Winery (1565 N Page Springs Rd, Cornville, AZ 86325) packing full rooms on weekend afternoons. A Scottsdale party bus to Verde Valley means your entire tasting group rides together, nobody draws the short straw for the drive back on I-17 after dark, and there's no coordinating a five-car caravan through Cottonwood's main street.
Closer in, Old Town's craft beer scene gives your pub crawl a walkable cluster of stops — Fate Brewing (7337 E Shoeman Ln, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) and a half-dozen nearby taprooms within easy reach of each other. A party bus keeps the whole group on one vehicle between stops and handles the late-night return to your hotel without the surge fare math. Call 602-338-9085 for a free quote on your Scottsdale winery tour or pub crawl bus rental.

Booked this after a friend recommended it and now I get why she wouldn't stop talking about it. On time, comfortable, fun, no hassle. Made our night around Scottsdale completely stress free. Already have another date in mind.

Used it for a special occasion in Scottsdale and it was worth it. The group loved the ride, booking was simple, and everything ran on schedule. Took a lot of the planning stress off me. I'd do it again without a second thought.
Stuart Lang
Good experience start to finish. Plenty of room for our group, clean inside, decent system, on time for both pickup and drop-off. The coordinator was easy to work with. Can't ask for much more.
Connie Ramsey
We rented this for a get-together in Scottsdale and it made the whole thing feel like an event. Everyone together, music going, nobody stuck driving. Pulled up right on time and the price was clear up front.
Scottsdale party bus rental prices vary based on vehicle size, your date, and how many hours you need. Here are current rate ranges: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; small party buses (15–20 passengers) run $204–$378/hour; mid-size party buses (20–30 passengers) run $244–$414/hour; large party buses and minibuses (35–50 passengers) run $294–$490/hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Spring training season, Barrett-Jackson week in January, and prom season in April and May all see higher demand.
The fastest way to get an exact number for your specific date and itinerary is to call 602-338-9085 — all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds, no commitment required.
Charter buses serving State Farm Stadium (1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305) use designated commercial vehicle drop-off zones on the stadium perimeter. On NFL game days and major events, roads in the Glendale entertainment district — including Cardinals Drive and the approaches from Loop 101's Glendale Avenue exit — fill fast and often see police-managed traffic flow before kickoff. All event-day parking requires advance-purchased passes; none are sold day-of at the gate.
Bus parking in oversized vehicle zones must also be secured in advance. We recommend checking the official State Farm Stadium parking page before your visit to confirm current lot assignments and approach road restrictions for your specific event.
At Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (3400 E Sky Harbor Blvd, Phoenix, AZ 85034), commercial buses use the curbside commercial pickup zones on the Arrivals level of each terminal. Terminal 4 — the largest — has designated commercial loading areas on the outer roadway of Level 1 Arrivals. The process: once your full group has collected luggage and assembled at the agreed-upon arrivals door, your group coordinator calls our team so the bus can move to the correct commercial lane.
Do not make that call until your complete group is together with bags — Sky Harbor limits commercial dwell time, and coordination at a high-traffic airport depends on precise timing. Review the official Sky Harbor ground transportation page before you land for current commercial vehicle staging details.
Cactus League spring training runs from late February through late March, with games at Salt River Fields (Diamondbacks and Rockies), Scottsdale Stadium (Giants), and several other Valley facilities. Vehicle demand spikes across the entire Phoenix metro for this stretch. Book by January at the latest for spring training dates — the February and early March windows fill fastest, particularly for weekend games at Salt River Fields where the surrounding Talking Stick area has limited parking.
Waiting until February means paying significantly higher rates or finding no availability in your vehicle size. The earlier your headcount is confirmed, the better your options.
Yes — and it's exactly the right call. WestWorld of Scottsdale (16601 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260) sits at the Loop 101 and Pima Road interchange, and northbound Loop 101 traffic on peak auction days backs up well past the Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard interchange. Surface lots inside the grounds fill before midday on the major auction days, and paid overflow lots run $20–$30 or more per vehicle.
One charter bus parks in a designated oversized vehicle area, drops your group at the gates, and waits for pickup — far simpler than coordinating six cars through the same gridlock. Barrett-Jackson week is one of the Valley's most competitive transportation windows — book as soon as your auction date is confirmed.
For most Scottsdale trips outside peak season, two to four weeks of lead time is workable. For specific high-demand windows, book as early as your date is confirmed. For prom (April–May): book by December.
For spring training (February–March): book by January. For Barrett-Jackson week in January: book in October or November. For major concerts at Glendale or Desert Diamond Arena: book as soon as your tickets are confirmed.
Weekend rates run 20–30% higher than weekday equivalents year-round. The earlier you call, the better your vehicle selection and the more predictable your rate. Call 602-338-9085 right now to lock in your date.
A Scottsdale party bus itinerary can span the desert resort corridor, Old Town's nightlife strip, spring training ballparks, and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve — all in a single day if your group has the energy. Here are six destinations where our buses run most often.
Salt River Fields at Talking Stick (7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258) is the spring training home of both the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies — the only Cactus League facility shared by two MLB organizations — and consistently ranks among the most attended spring training stadiums each season. The 11,000-seat complex sits on Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community land at the Pima Road and Via de Ventura intersection. The surrounding Talking Stick area draws additional traffic from the casino, golf courses, and OdySea Aquarium, so surface lot parking at the stadium fills before first pitch on sell-out February and March games.
Charter buses use designated oversized vehicle parking in the outer lots. We recommend reviewing the official Salt River Fields parking page before your visit to confirm current lot availability and drop-off zones.
Address: 7555 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258
Phone: (480) 270-5000
WestWorld of Scottsdale (16601 N Pima Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260) is a 250-acre multi-use facility at the northeastern edge of the city that hosts Barrett-Jackson every January, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show in February, and dozens of large-scale corporate and consumer events year-round. The Loop 101 and Pima Road interchange at the venue entrance is one of the Valley's most congested chokepoints during major events — northbound on-ramp queues stretch back toward the Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard interchange on peak days. Surface lots inside WestWorld are extensive but fill faster than first-timers expect, and oversized vehicle parking areas are designated and enforced.
Charter buses drop at event entry gates and wait in the oversized lot on the north side of the property. Check event-specific parking and transportation guidance on the official WestWorld website before your event date.

Phone: (480) 502-5600
Old Town Scottsdale is the city's densest concentration of nightlife, restaurants, galleries, and live music venues — the stretch along Scottsdale Road between Camelback Road and Indian School Road packs some of the most active bar and club real estate in the Southwest. On Friday and Saturday nights from October through April, when the snowbird population swells, surface lot parking in Old Town fills by 9 p.m. and metered street parking along 5th Avenue and Main Street carries a two-hour limit enforced until midnight. Rideshare surge pricing along this corridor on weekend nights regularly doubles base fares after 11 p.m.
A party bus rental drops your entire crew at any stop along the strip, waits nearby, and picks everyone up when the night wraps — no parking meter countdown, no surge arithmetic, no splitting a 15-person group into four separate rideshares at last call.
Address: Scottsdale Rd & 5th Ave, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Scottsdale Stadium (7408 E Osborn Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) has been the San Francisco Giants' spring training home since 1992 and sits right in the middle of Old Town — a few blocks east of Scottsdale Road between Osborn and Thomas. That downtown location makes it uniquely walkable from Old Town bars and restaurants, but game-day traffic collides with the normal Old Town weekend crowd. The stadium's 12,000-seat capacity sells out regularly for popular matchups, and street parking within a three-block radius fills completely on busy game days.
Charter buses drop groups on Drinkwater Boulevard or Osborn Road and park in nearby oversized vehicle zones. Many groups continue directly into Old Town after the game — a natural two-stop itinerary that a minibus handles without any additional logistics. We recommend checking the official Scottsdale Stadium page for current game-day parking guidance.

Phone: (480) 312-2586
Talking Stick Resort (9800 E Talking Stick Way, Scottsdale, AZ 85256) is the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community's AAA Four Diamond resort and casino — a full-service entertainment complex at the northeast corner of the Talking Stick area. Beyond the casino floor, it sits at the center of an entertainment district that includes Salt River Fields, OdySea Aquarium, TopGolf Scottsdale, and Butterfly Wonderland, making it the most popular stop for groups doing a multi-stop day in that part of the Valley. The resort's porte-cochère handles standard vehicles, but oversized vehicles and charter buses use designated commercial drop-off lanes on the north side of the property.
Groups organizing a casino night, a golf outing at the resort's two championship courses, or a multi-attraction day at the Talking Stick complex regularly book a charter bus or minibus to keep the whole group moving on a single schedule.

The McDowell Sonoran Preserve covers more than 30,000 acres of protected desert in northeastern Scottsdale — one of the largest urban preserves in the United States — with primary trailhead access at Gateway Trailhead (18333 N Thompson Peak Pkwy, Scottsdale, AZ 85255). Gateway's main parking lot holds roughly 200 vehicles and fills completely before 8 a.m. on cool-season weekends from November through March. The National Park Service periodically activates a timed-entry reservation system when congestion exceeds capacity.
Corporate team-building groups, family reunions, and fitness-focused retreats regularly use a charter bus to get 30 or 40 hikers there on one vehicle rather than managing a 10-car caravan on Thompson Peak Parkway. The bus parks in the oversized vehicle area, your group hikes, and everyone meets back at a set time — far cleaner than coordinating multiple cars in a lot that was full when half the group arrived. Check the official preserve page for current access and reservation requirements.
