3. How many buses do you have?

We currently have two party buses ( 22 passenger limo bus & 24 passenger limo bus) with plans to add another in 2006. All buses are priced the same.

4. Why is your party bus service priced lower than the other services in town?

GetOnDaBus.Com strives to make your party bus experience fun but without making it a large expense for our renters. Our surveys show the low cost brings our customers back to rent again in the future. With repeat customers, we can cut back on large spending for advertising, radio ads, and banners. This keeps our prices low and competitive.

5. What makes your bus service stand out compared to other buses and party bus services?

We have the latest in mobile audio, video, and communication technology. Our buses include iPod hookups, Dvd Player, Tv’s, Cd Players, GPS Navigation devices, Laser/Strobe Lights, Comfortable seating and thousands of watts of audio power, depending on which bus you book. We also have newer style shuttle limo buses, not old school buses like other services. We are the elite, stylish, entertainment on wheels service.

We also added Garmin GPS Satellite Navigation devices to our buses at no charge (at request). The GPS units allow our renters to choose the bars/clubs of choice on a computer which then tells the bus driver where to go next. Most of these features are available on the 24 passenger limo bus.
