Durham Party Bus Rentals

Duke basketball games are bucket-list events for any sports fan—but getting to Cameron Indoor Stadium isn’t easy. The 9,314-seat arena sits in the heart of Duke’s Gothic-style campus, surrounded by narrow roads and limited parking. On game days, traffic backs up along Science Drive and Towerview Road as thousands of fans descend on “Krzyzewskiville.” A party bus is the best way to beat the chaos: You’ll get dropped off steps from the entrance while your driver handles parking and postgame gridlock. Heading to a Blue Devils football game at Wallace Wade Stadium instead? It’s right next door, so you can use the same plan.

The Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) is the premier destination for Broadway tours, concerts, comedy shows, and special events in central North Carolina. Located in the American Tobacco District, this 2,700-seat venue hosts more than 200 performances each year—including Hamilton, Wicked, The Book of Mormon, and shows by artists like John Legend and Bob Dylan. If you’re attending a show with friends, family, or colleagues, a party bus is the easiest way to get everyone there on time. You won’t have to worry about downtown parking or walking long distances in bad weather—instead, you’ll be dropped off right at the front entrance while your driver waits nearby until the show is over. And if you want to grab dinner or drinks before the performance, we can easily add stops at nearby restaurants like NanaSteak or Mellow Mushroom.

Located just 25 miles from downtown Durham, PNC Arena is the go-to venue for major concerts, sporting events, and family shows in the Triangle. Home to the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes and NC State Wolfpack basketball, this 19,000-seat arena hosts everything from Disney on Ice to WWE Live. Getting there means dealing with I-40 traffic and crowded parking lots—unless you ride in a party bus. We’ll drop your group off near the main entrance and handle parking while you enjoy the event. Afterward, keep the energy high by playing music videos on the bus’s flat-screen TVs or sharing photos over the onboard WiFi as we head back to Durham.

Set on 14 acres of pine forest next to Symphony Lake, Koka Booth Amphitheatre is one of the most beautiful outdoor venues in North Carolina. It hosts summer concert series, food festivals, craft beer tastings, and holiday events like the Chinese Lantern Festival. A party bus makes it easy to attend evening shows without worrying about driving home late or navigating Cary’s winding roads after dark. Bring a cooler with drinks, store folding chairs or picnic blankets in the luggage compartment, and relax under the stars while listening to live music.

Planning a big night out in downtown Raleigh? Skip the hassle of coordinating Ubers or designating a sober driver and book a party bus instead! With a private ride, your entire group can travel together between bars, clubs, and restaurants in popular entertainment districts like Glenwood South, Fayetteville Street, and the Warehouse District. Hit multiple venues in one night without worrying about parking or losing track of friends. And when the party’s over, everyone will get home comfortably at the same time.

One of the most popular destinations for party bus rentals in Durham is the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). This state-of-the-art venue hosts Broadway shows, concerts, comedy acts, and other live performances throughout the year. Instead of dealing with downtown traffic and expensive parking garages, your group can arrive together in a party bus and get dropped off right at the entrance. After the show, keep the fun going by stopping at a nearby restaurant or bar before heading home.

Another must-visit spot for live entertainment is the historic Carolina Theatre. Built in 1926, this beautifully restored venue hosts movies, concerts, and special events in an intimate setting. Gather your friends for a night out at the theatre and travel in style with a party bus rental from Durham Party Bus Company. You’ll have plenty of room to pre-game on the way there and discuss the show on the ride back.

Sports fans will love catching a minor league baseball game at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Home to the Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, this modern ballpark offers affordable family fun all season long. Avoid the hassle of finding parking near the stadium by booking a party bus instead. Your driver will drop you off close to the entrance and handle all transportation logistics while you cheer on the Bulls.

The Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) is one of the top theater destinations in the Southeast, hosting Broadway tours, concerts, comedy shows, and dance performances. It’s located in the heart of downtown next to the American Tobacco Campus, a historic district full of restaurants, bars, and shops housed in renovated factory buildings. Groups often book party buses to see a show at DPAC and then grab dinner or drinks at spots like Mellow Mushroom, Tyler’s Taproom, or Tobacco Road Sports Cafe. The party bus can drop everyone off right at the theater’s front entrance and then wait nearby to pick them up after the show.

If your group wants to catch a big concert or sporting event, consider heading down to Raleigh to visit PNC Arena or Carter-Finley Stadium. PNC Arena is home to the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes and the NC State Wolfpack basketball teams, and it also hosts major touring acts and family shows. Carter-Finley Stadium next door is where the Wolfpack football team plays. Both venues have huge parking lots that are perfect for tailgating before the game or concert. A party bus lets your whole crew travel together, bring coolers and grills, and celebrate comfortably without anyone having to drive afterward.

Several factors can influence the cost of your party bus rental, including the size of the vehicle, the length of your trip, the time of year, and the pickup location. Larger buses generally cost more than smaller ones, and longer trips will naturally be more expensive than shorter ones. Peak seasons—such as springtime for proms and wedding season, or fall for college football games—can also drive up prices due to increased demand. Additionally, if your pickup or drop-off location is outside of our standard service area, there may be an extra fee to cover the additional mileage. To get an accurate quote, be sure to provide us with as much information about your event as possible, including the date, time, and exact addresses for all pickups and drop-offs.

We recommend booking your party bus rental at least six months in advance of your trip date to ensure the best selection of vehicles and availability—especially if your event falls during a busy time of year like wedding season, college graduation, or homecoming weekend. Major events such as Duke basketball games, Durham Bulls opening day, and popular concert or festival dates can sell out quickly, so the earlier you reserve, the better. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but you may be limited in your choice of bus size or amenities. A good rule of thumb is: once you know your event date and headcount, get your transportation locked in as soon as possible—it’s one less thing to worry about!
