Dallas Party Buses has been connecting DFW groups with the right vehicles since 2011 — over 15 years of coordinating transportation for weddings, corporate shuttles, stadium runs, prom nights, and everything in between. Our reservation team is available 24/7/365, which matters when your bachelorette group is heading back from Uptown Dallas at 2 a.m. or your flight lands early at DFW and the timeline shifts. You will never get a surprise invoice after the fact: every quote is all-inclusive, generated in under 30 seconds online, and locked before you ever book.
Carrollton sits right on the edge of some of DFW's busiest corridors — the President George Bush Turnpike to the north, I-35E slicing straight south toward Dallas, and the Dallas North Tollway a quick eastward hop to Frisco. That geography means getting a large group anywhere in the Metroplex is fast on a normal day and genuinely miserable on game day, festival weekend, or any Friday afternoon rush. We plan the route around those realities so your group doesn't have to.
Whether you need a single minibus for 20 coworkers or a fleet of charter buses for a company-wide event, tell us your headcount and your destination — we'll handle the rest. Give us a call at 214-540-6746 any time!
Choose from 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. Browse our full fleet online or call 214-540-6746 for a vehicle match based on your group size and itinerary. You never pay for seats you don't fill.
Carrollton party buses come loaded with color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, a full-length bar, wraparound perimeter seating, and an open dance area — the right setup for bachelorette nights, birthday celebrations, and prom runs across the Metroplex. Minibuses offer plush reclining seats and powerful A/C, which earns their keep during Texas summers. Full-size charter buses add undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and overhead storage — the smart pick for longer hauls to AT&T Stadium in Arlington or DFW Airport with a group carrying luggage.
ADA-accessible vehicles are always available; just let us know your needs before your departure date.

All-inclusive Carrollton party bus and charter bus pricing breaks down like this: 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; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Pricing shifts with the date, mileage, and vehicle type — peak weekends like State Fair of Texas and Cowboys home games in October and November push demand across the entire DFW fleet, so rates reflect that. Weekend rates consistently run 20–30% higher than weekday equivalents.
The fastest path to an accurate number is a 30-second online quote or a direct call to 214-540-6746. No hidden costs, ever.

Carrollton is surrounded by transportation headaches that only get worse the larger your group gets. The Bush Turnpike interchange at I-35E backs up every Friday evening and on any day a Cowboys or FC Dallas event is on the calendar. Downtown Dallas parking — whether you're heading to Deep Ellum, Uptown, or the Arts District — is expensive, scarce, and completely unpredictable on event weekends.
If your group is heading to American Airlines Center for a Mavericks playoff game or a stadium concert, the closest garage that accepts walk-ups fills before the opening act.
Dallas Party Buses cuts out every one of those variables. We get your group an all-inclusive price online in under 30 seconds — you see the exact number before committing to anything. Our 24/7 reservation team can answer logistics questions, adjust pickup times, or build a multi-stop itinerary from scratch.
We have coordinated trips for school districts, Fortune 500 corporate shuttles, wedding weekends, and everything in between across North Texas. And because we offer a wide range of vehicle sizes, you are never overpaying for a 56-passenger coach when a 20-passenger minibus handles your crew perfectly. One call gets your group moving — reach us any time at 214-540-6746!
Dallas Party Buses coordinates group transportation for every occasion out of Carrollton. From DFW Airport transfers and concert shuttles to prom nights, corporate events, sporting runs, and wedding weekends — whatever brings your group together, we have a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 214-540-6746 to get started!
Carrollton puts your group in a genuinely favorable position for airport runs — Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) (2400 Aviation Dr, DFW Airport, TX 75261) sits roughly 15 miles southwest via the Bush Turnpike, and under normal conditions that drive takes 20–25 minutes. The problem is that "normal conditions" disappear fast on weekday mornings and on any afternoon when DFW's international terminals are releasing a wave of arriving flights simultaneously. Terminal E, which handles most international arrivals, has a commercial bus pickup zone on the lower curb level — your group assembles at baggage claim, your coordinator calls our team once everyone has luggage in hand, and the bus moves to the curb.
Do not call until the last bag is off the carousel.
Dallas Love Field (DAL) (8008 Herb Kelleher Way, Dallas, TX 75235) is about 20 miles south and serves groups flying Southwest. Ground transportation at Love Field is on the lower level, curbside at Baggage Claim. For both airports, have the group coordinator confirm the terminal with the airline in advance — we confirm the approach route and curbside door when you book.
Call 214-540-6746 to arrange your Carrollton airport shuttle today!
The Carrollton bachelorette circuit generally runs south into Dallas — and the right party bus turns the trip into part of the event before you ever reach the first stop. Kick the evening off at a rooftop bar in Uptown like The Rustic (3656 Howell St, Dallas, TX 75204) or Katy Trail Ice House (3127 Routh St, Dallas, TX 75201), then push east to Deep Ellum for live music and late-night bars along Main Street and Commerce Street, where street parking disappears by 9 p.m. on a Saturday. If the crew wants a bigger dance floor, House of Blues and venues along the Design District are an easy next stop.
Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses include a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and flat-panel TVs — which means the party starts the moment you pull away from the curb in Carrollton, not when you finally find parking in Dallas. No drawing straws for who stays sober. Everyone rides together and everyone gets back to the hotel.
Call 214-540-6746 and we'll build the night around your crew's itinerary!
Carrollton and the surrounding North Dallas suburbs have a genuinely deep scene for quinceañeras and Sweet 16 celebrations — banquet halls like El Rincon de las Flores and Plaza de Oro Event Center along Josey Lane and I-35E serve hundreds of events each year, and a party bus arrival is one of the most memorable entrances a guest of honor can make. Our party buses are fully customizable: pre-load a playlist, coordinate the color scheme, and your crew boards a lit cabin that matches the theme of the night.
For adult milestone birthdays heading out to Deep Ellum bar hops, a suite night at American Airlines Center, or dinner at Bob's Steak & Chop House in Uptown (4300 Lemmon Ave, Dallas, TX 75219), a party bus keeps the guest of honor from worrying about parking, rideshares, or keeping the group together across multiple cars. We match your headcount to the right vehicle — you never pay for seats you don't fill. Call 214-540-6746 to plan your Carrollton birthday celebration!
The DFW concert circuit covers serious ground from Carrollton. Dos Equis Pavilion (1818 First Ave, Dallas, TX 75210) at Fair Park seats 20,000 and pulls traffic from every direction onto I-30 East — parking lots around the pavilion fill within the first hour of gates opening, and the pedestrian walk from remote lots to the amphitheater entrance is long in Texas August heat. A Carrollton concert party bus drops your group curbside and picks everyone up when the encore ends.
American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Ave, Dallas, TX 75219) draws stadium-level headliners and has paid parking garages that cap at $50+ on sellout nights. The AA Center's official arena drop-off is on Victory Avenue. The Factory in Deep Ellum (2713 Canton St, Dallas, TX 75226) and House of Blues Dallas (2200 N Lamar St, Dallas, TX 75202) round out the regular circuit.
Street parking in Deep Ellum on a Friday is effectively nonexistent. Your group rides together, nobody draws the short straw for designated driver, and the pregame energy stays intact from Carrollton to the first song. Call 214-540-6746!
Carrollton's corporate geography is genuinely busy — the Carrollton Business Center and the Josey Ranch corridor put thousands of employees within a few miles of the Bush Turnpike interchange, which is one of the most reliably congested exchange points in all of DFW during morning and evening rush. Getting a team of 30 into downtown Dallas or up to Frisco's corporate campuses without losing 45 minutes to traffic is a real logistical problem.
A Carrollton corporate bus rental solves it cleanly. Shuttle employees from company headquarters or a central hotel to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center (650 S Griffin St, Dallas, TX 75202) for multi-day conferences, with a bus handling door-to-door loops on Washington Street's designated commercial drop zone. For executive team-building events at venues like TopGolf Allen (500 Bethany Dr, Allen, TX 75013) or corporate dinners in Uptown Dallas, a minibus keeps leadership together in transit and keeps the conversation going between stops.
WiFi and power outlets mean your team stays connected on the way there. Call 214-540-6746 to build a custom shuttle plan!
Carrollton groups heading to the State Fair of Texas at Fair Park (3921 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Dallas, TX 75210) understand the parking situation: the lots immediately surrounding Fair Park fill before noon on busy October weekends, and I-30 East becomes a genuine crawl starting two hours before gates open. A private charter bus drops your group at the Fair Park pedestrian gates and cuts out the parking scramble entirely — one flat rate for the whole crew instead of $20–$25 per car times however many vehicles you need.
For family reunions using venues like Josey Ranch Lake Park or pavilion spaces in Carrollton's park system, a minibus keeps multiple generations together without asking Great-Aunt Sandra to navigate the Bush Turnpike. Religious retreats heading south to the Frontiers of Flight Museum (6911 Lemmon Ave, Dallas, TX 75209) or the Perot Museum of Nature and Science (2201 N Field St, Dallas, TX 75201) in Victory Park get a coach that parks right at the museum drop zone. Whatever the occasion, one bus and one flat rate is a simpler math than five cars.
Call 214-540-6746!
Prom season in the Carrollton–Farmers Branch ISD runs April through May, with R.L. Turner High School, Newman Smith High School, and Creekview High School each holding events within a tight six-week window. That window is the single busiest stretch of the year for DFW party bus bookings, and the right-size vehicles go fast. For prom: book by December or expect limited availability and premium pricing come spring.
A typical six-hour prom rental — school pickup, a pre-prom photo stop at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, venue drop-off, and after-party return — runs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when reserved four to six months out, and $2,800–$3,500+ for last-minute requests.
Dallas Party Buses works with parent committees and student groups across Carrollton–Farmers Branch ISD every year. We confirm headcount, pickup plan, and venue logistics well in advance so prom night runs on schedule and every student gets home safely. Call 214-540-6746 today — the earlier you lock in the date, the better the pricing and vehicle selection.
Teachers and administrators at Carrollton–Farmers Branch ISD trust Dallas Party Buses for field trips because we understand group logistics, we're available 24/7 to answer questions, and every quote comes all-inclusive with no surprise costs. A full charter bus offers real advantages over a yellow school bus: TV monitors and a PA system keep students engaged, overhead bins handle backpacks and lunchboxes, and undercarriage bays hold equipment for longer trips. ADA-accessible buses are always available — just let us know before the departure date.
Popular field trip destinations from Carrollton include the Perot Museum of Nature and Science (2201 N Field St, Dallas, TX 75201), which offers dedicated bus drop-off along Field Street in Victory Park, and the Dallas Museum of Art (1717 N Harwood St, Dallas, TX 75201) in the Arts District, where the commercial drop zone is on Harwood Street. For multi-school travel days, we coordinate fleet sizing and staggered pickup windows so no campus is left waiting. Call 214-540-6746 to confirm your school trip bus today!
Carrollton sports fans heading to AT&T Stadium (1 AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011) for Cowboys games know the approach well: I-30 West toward Arlington backs up two hours before kickoff, parking on stadium property runs $75+ for preferred lots, and the rideshare pickup zone after a Monday Night Football game is a 15-minute walk from the exit gates with surge pricing already running. A Carrollton charter bus solves every piece of that — your group boards together, the pregame energy is already up by the time you hit I-35E, and the bus meets you at the designated commercial staging area when the final whistle blows.
For American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Ave, Dallas, TX 75219), Mavericks and Stars fans get dropped on Victory Avenue and skip the $50+ event parking garage entirely. FC Dallas supporters heading to Toyota Stadium (9200 World Cup Way, Frisco, TX 75033) in Frisco — just 20 minutes north of Carrollton on the Dallas North Tollway — love a minibus for the short hop: stadium-adjacent parking fills fast on match days, and the bus parks in the designated oversized vehicle area off World Cup Way. Call 214-540-6746!
Carrollton and the surrounding North Dallas suburbs have a dense calendar of weddings from April through October, and the venues your guests need to reach span a wide geography — barn venues in Celina and McKinney up north, hotel ballrooms in Addison and Las Colinas, and ceremony spaces tucked into Uptown and the Park Cities in Dallas proper. A wedding shuttle in Carrollton means out-of-town guests don't navigate unfamiliar North Texas toll roads, nobody in formalwear walks four blocks from a remote parking lot, and the entire timeline stays in sync from rehearsal dinner through last dance.
A popular pattern: a 14-passenger Sprinter limo handles the bridal party on the wedding morning itself, while two minibuses run staggered loops from the hotel to the ceremony and reception venue throughout the afternoon and evening. Because Dallas Party Buses has coordinated wedding weekends across DFW since 2011, your timeline can stay exceptionally tight — clear pickup windows, staged departures, and a single point of contact from your first quote to the final drop-off. Call 214-540-6746 for a free wedding transportation quote!
North Texas has built a real wine trail over the last decade, and Carrollton puts you within easy reach of it. Lone Star Wine Cellars (4001 Maple Ave, Dallas, TX 75219) in Oak Lawn pours Texas estate wines with a full tasting room; Times Ten Cellars (10609 Strait Ln, Dallas, TX 75229) operates near Northwest Highway with an indoor/outdoor space that fits perfectly on a Saturday afternoon route. For craft beer fans, the Braindead Brewing (2625 Main St, Dallas, TX 75226) in Deep Ellum and Oak Cliff Brewing (1300 S Polk St, Dallas, TX 75208) anchor a south Dallas pub crawl circuit.
The practical problem with any multi-stop tasting itinerary is obvious: somebody has to drive. A Carrollton party bus rental keeps the whole crew together from the first pour to the last call, handles every bit of the parking scramble at Deep Ellum on a Saturday, and gets everyone home safely afterward. No splitting into separate cars, no designating a sober one who resents sitting out the tastings.

Such a fun and easy experience. The booking was quick, the bus was roomy and clean, and the music and lights made the whole ride feel like part of the party. Everyone fit comfortably and we got around with zero hassle. The price was exactly as quoted. I can't think of a better way to do a group night out. Highly recommend.

Everything ran perfectly. The team was responsive when I booked, confirmed the details ahead of time, and the bus arrived clean and right on schedule. The ride was comfortable and the vibe was great. Our whole group had an amazing time and nobody stressed about getting home. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Worth every dollar.
Rosalind F.
Booked this for my wife's birthday, dinner in downtown Carrollton and then out toward Deep Ellum for the night. The quote I got was exactly what I paid, which I appreciated. Fourteen of us fit with room to move around, and the pickup back to Carrollton was on time even though we ran a little late. Made a night that could have been a hassle really simple to pull off.
Emmanuel S.
Couldn't have gone better. Booking was simple, the quote was clear, and the bus was clean and comfortable with a great sound system. We got around all night without a single issue and the timing was perfect. The team really took care of us. I've already passed their name to a few friends. Easily the smoothest group transport I've used.
Carrollton party bus and charter bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, the date, and how many hours you need the bus. As a guide: 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; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Weekend dates and peak-demand events like Cowboys games, State Fair of Texas weekends, and prom season push pricing up.
The fastest way to get an exact number is a 30-second online quote or a call to 214-540-6746 — all-inclusive, no surprises.
AT&T Stadium's commercial vehicle drop-off is on AT&T Way on the west side of the stadium. Bus and motorcoach parking requires a pre-purchased oversized vehicle permit — these are sold in advance through the stadium and are not available day-of at the gate. All lot-adjacent parking for Cowboys games requires pre-purchased passes, and lots closest to the stadium sell out weeks before marquee matchups.
We confirm the current drop-off point and approach route for your specific game date when you book, since road closure plans around I-30 and AT&T Way change for playoff games and special events. Check the official AT&T Stadium parking page before your visit.
At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), commercial buses pick up from the lower-level Arrivals curb at each terminal. The sequence that works: have your group collect all luggage and assemble together at the agreed-upon terminal before the coordinator calls our team to bring the bus to the curbside commercial lane. Terminal D and Terminal E handle international arrivals and have separate approach roads from the internal highway — confirm your terminal with the airline before landing.
DFW's size makes terminal confusion the most common hiccup on airport runs; getting the right terminal to us before the bus moves is the single step that prevents it. We recommend reviewing the official DFW ground transportation page before your group lands.
The State Fair of Texas runs from late September through mid-October at Fair Park (3921 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Dallas, TX 75210) — typically about 24 days. Weekend attendance regularly exceeds 100,000 people, and the I-30 corridor from Carrollton south through Dallas to Fair Park backs up severely on Saturday and Sunday afternoons during the run. Fair Park surface lots cost $20–$25 per vehicle and fill well before noon on busy weekends.
A charter bus drops your whole group at the pedestrian gates on Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, skips every bit of the parking scramble, and picks everyone up at an agreed time after the funnel cake and Big Tex. For Carrollton groups, book early — the Fair Park run is one of the most-requested dates on our DFW calendar each fall.
That's exactly what a party bus or minibus is built for. A typical Carrollton multi-stop itinerary might include a brewery visit in Deep Ellum, dinner in Uptown, and a late night at a venue on Lower Greenville — a route that would mean three separate parking situations, multiple Ubers that may or may not arrive together, and a designated driver problem at every stop. With one bus on a custom itinerary, your group boards once and exits once at the end of the night.
Tell us your stops and your timing and we build the route around them. Just call 214-540-6746.
Three to six months out is the target for the best vehicle selection and pricing. Booking urgency is highest during prom season (April–May), State Fair of Texas weekends (late September through mid-October), Cowboys home games in October through January, and the New Year's Eve and holiday window in December. During those stretches, the DFW vehicle supply tightens across every provider in the market.
For prom specifically: December is the booking deadline for the best pricing — waiting until March or April means premium rates or no availability. For most other dates, two to four weeks of lead time is workable, but the earlier you call, the better your options across vehicle size and pickup flexibility. Call 214-540-6746 to lock in your date today!
Carrollton sits at the center of one of the most active entertainment corridors in Texas — a short run south lands you in Deep Ellum, Uptown, or the Arts District, and a run north or east connects to Frisco, Plano, and the stadium corridors in Arlington. Here are six destinations Carrollton groups visit most often by bus.
Home to the Dallas Cowboys and a relentless parade of stadium-scale concerts and college football events, AT&T Stadium (1 AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011) seats 80,000 and draws that many cars onto I-30 West on every major game day. Commercial drop-off is on AT&T Way on the west side of the stadium, and bus parking requires a pre-purchased oversized vehicle pass — sold in advance, never at the gate. All preferred parking lots near the stadium require advance purchase as well, with prices running $75+ for the closest options on Cowboys game days.
From Carrollton, the trip runs roughly 35–45 minutes in normal traffic, and 75+ minutes on a sold-out Sunday. Getting 40 fans there in one bus — with one permit instead of a dozen parking passes — is both simpler and cheaper per head. Check the official AT&T Stadium parking page before your visit.
Phone: 817-892-4000
American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Ave, Dallas, TX 75219) is home to the Mavericks and Stars, and it hosts some of the biggest touring concerts in North Texas. The arena sits in Victory Park, where on-site garage parking runs $30–$50 on event nights and fills fast. The official charter bus and commercial vehicle drop-off is on Victory Avenue, with group access directly to the main entrance.
From Carrollton via I-35E South and the Stemmons Freeway, the trip is roughly 25–35 minutes off-peak and significantly longer on game nights when Victory Park sees 20,000 people moving at once. A minibus or party bus handles the whole crew in one run, parks in the designated commercial area, and picks everyone up at the agreed exit time — while the garage-parkers are still waiting in the post-game crawl on Olive Street. See the official AA Center parking and directions page before your event.
Phone: 214-222-3687
Toyota Stadium (9200 World Cup Way, Frisco, TX 75033) hosts FC Dallas home matches and has become one of the top soccer-specific venues in the country. From Carrollton, it's a direct shot up the Dallas North Tollway — roughly 20 minutes in light traffic, which makes it one of the closest major venues in the Metroplex. On MLS match days, the parking lots off World Cup Way and the surrounding Frisco commercial district fill steadily from about 90 minutes before kickoff.
Bus parking is in the designated oversized vehicle area with advance coordination. Toyota Stadium also hosts NCAA soccer events, high school football playoffs, and occasional concerts, each with its own parking configuration. A minibus from Carrollton is genuinely the most efficient way to move a supporters' group here — short enough that nobody misses the warmup, and it means the post-match celebrations can start on the way home.
Phone: 469-365-0000
Deep Ellum is Dallas's most active entertainment district — a walkable grid of live music venues, craft bars, restaurants, and late-night clubs centered on Main Street and Commerce Street, roughly 30 minutes south of Carrollton via I-35E. Venues like Trees (2709 Elm St), The Factory in Deep Ellum (2713 Canton St), and dozens of bars along Elm and Main draw crowds every Thursday through Saturday. Street parking in Deep Ellum on a weekend is essentially a competition, and the paid surface lots around the district run $15–$25 on busy nights.
More practically: if you're hitting four or five bars across a three-hour crawl, nobody in a car can have more than one drink. A party bus drops the group at the first stop, waits nearby between venues, and picks everyone up at the end of the night. That's the whole argument for a Carrollton pub crawl bus in one paragraph.
Fair Park (3921 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Dallas, TX 75210) is a 277-acre National Historic Landmark that hosts the State Fair of Texas each fall and serves year-round as the home of Dos Equis Pavilion — a 20,000-capacity amphitheater that books major touring artists from spring through fall. On pavilion concert nights and State Fair weekends, I-30 East backs up significantly from the I-35E split, and Fair Park's surface lots fill from $20–$25 per car. The pedestrian walk from the most remote lots to the pavilion stage is a genuine hike in Texas summer heat.
Commercial buses drop your group at the Fair Park gates off MLK Boulevard, putting your group within a short walk of the pavilion entrance. From Carrollton, the trip runs about 30–35 minutes south via I-35E in normal conditions. See Fair Park's official parking information before your trip.
Phone: 214-670-8400
The Perot Museum of Nature and Science (2201 N Field St, Dallas, TX 75201) sits in Victory Park just north of downtown Dallas, about 25 minutes from Carrollton via I-35E. The museum's 180,000 square feet across five floors covers paleontology, space, engineering, and the natural world, making it the top field trip and family group destination in North Texas. Dedicated bus drop-off is along Field Street on the museum's west side, where large vehicles unload before parking in the adjacent commercial area.
The Victory Park parking garage underneath the museum serves personal vehicles at $3–$10 depending on validation. For school groups, timed-entry and program bookings should be confirmed at least three weeks in advance. A charter bus with overhead storage handles lunchboxes, daypacks, and everything else the museum asks students not to drag through the exhibits.
See the Perot Museum's visit and group info page before your trip.
