A Savannah party bus booking starts with three numbers: how many people will be on board at the busiest point of the night, how many hours the plan really takes, and the total price for the vehicle, all-in. On Elly8.net, party buses are priced in the web booker for your exact date, addresses and hours. The fixed-price alternative most groups compare it with is a 12-seat Executive Sprinter at US$190 an hour in Savannah, with a three-hour minimum, or US$950 on the evening out package.
Savannah has its own rules of the road for groups. The Historic District is a grid of squares and one-way streets that a bus cannot always stop on, River Street is cobbled and busy, and the biggest party of the year closes streets for the parade. This guide covers capacity, timing, a planning timeline, sample costs and the questions to ask any operator before you pay. Rides in Savannah are operated by licensed, commercially insured local chauffeur partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network; Elly8.net takes the booking, fixes the price and runs the 24/7 desk.
What does a party bus cost in Savannah?
On Elly8.net, a Savannah party bus is priced in the web booker for your route, date and hours, including taxes and standard gratuity. The fixed-price alternative is a 12-seat Executive Sprinter at US$190 an hour with a three-hour minimum, or US$950 on the evening out package, which is US$79.17 each for twelve as arithmetic.
Smaller groups can price everything from the Savannah price list: a Business SUV for up to six is US$120 an hour or US$600 for the evening out package, and a First Class SUV is US$145 an hour or US$725. Every price is per vehicle, never per person. Tolls, parking and waiting beyond the included time are billed at cost.

How many people: choosing the vehicle
Count the group at its largest point in the evening: everyone at dinner plus anyone joining for the second stop. Then pick the vehicle with a little room to spare. These capacities are from our fleet page.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage | How it is priced in Savannah | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business SUV | up to 6 | 6 bags | US$120 an hour; US$600 evening out | Small birthday dinners, couples' nights |
| First Class SUV | up to 6 | 6 bags | US$145 an hour; US$725 evening out | The same group, a premium cabin |
| Stretch Limousine | up to 8 | 2 bags | Web booker | Proms, weddings, the classic look |
| Executive Sprinter | up to 12 | 12 bags | US$190 an hour; US$950 evening out | Bachelorette groups, wedding parties, concerts |
| Party Bus | up to 12 | 2 bags | Web booker | Birthdays and celebrations where the ride is the party |
| Stretch SUV Limousine | up to 16 | 2 bags | Web booker | Bigger celebrations with the limousine look |
For more than 16, the desk books two vehicles timed together, or a larger bus if a local partner can supply one on your date. It confirms what is available rather than promising a size it cannot.
A practical Savannah point: luggage capacity matters more than people expect. A girls' weekend that wants the vehicle to collect everyone from SAV, then go straight to dinner, needs space for suitcases. The Sprinter holds twelve bags; the party bus and stretch limousines hold two.
How many hours: what a Savannah night really takes
Hourly bookings go wrong when the plan counts only the fun parts. Build the hours from the legs where the vehicle is working or waiting:
- Pickups. Collecting a group from an inn on a square, a rental house in the Starland District and a hotel on Hutchinson Island can take the first hour on its own.
- Dinner. Two hours at a restaurant is two hours of the vehicle waiting outside, or at a nearby legal spot.
- The Historic District itself. City Market and River Street are best on foot. The vehicle drops the group at an agreed corner and collects them there later, so add time for everyone to walk back and gather.
- Events. A concert at the Enmarket Arena or a show during the Savannah Music Festival, which runs April 2 to 17, 2027, fills nearby streets before and after.
- Drop-offs. At the end of the night, every extra address adds time.
As a rule, a dinner-and-music night in Savannah is five to six hours from first pickup to last drop-off. That is why the evening out package, priced the same as five hours, is usually the cleaner booking.
Four Savannah nights, priced
These use the fixed Savannah price list. A party bus quote from the booker follows the same all-in rule, so compare totals, not hourly rates. Per-person figures are arithmetic for comparison only.
The bachelorette weekend, twelve people
Pickup at a rental house at 7 p.m., dinner downtown, then a walk around City Market and River Street with the Sprinter collecting at an agreed corner at midnight. Five hours: US$950 on the evening out package in the Executive Sprinter, US$79.17 each for twelve. If the group wants lights and music on board, price the Party Bus in the booker for the same hours and compare the total.
The wedding after-party, eight people
The wedding party leaves the reception at 10 p.m. and heads into town. A Stretch Limousine for the look, quoted in the booker, or two Business SUVs at US$120 an hour each so half the party can leave early. Three hours in two SUVs is US$720, US$90 each; one Sprinter for the same three hours is US$570, US$71.25 each. See wedding limousine and guest shuttles for the full day.
A concert night, ten people
Pickup in Pooler, drop near the arena, pickup after the encore and home. Allow four hours with the show: US$760 in the Executive Sprinter, US$76 each. Our concert transportation page explains how we stage pickups after a show.
A Tybee Island birthday afternoon, six people
The beach, the lighthouse and an early seafood dinner on Tybee Island, east of the city past Fort Pulaski. A Business SUV for five hours, holding coolers and beach chairs, is US$600, US$100 each. A party bus is the wrong vehicle for sand and towels; an SUV or the Sprinter is easier to load.
St. Patrick's Day: plan differently
Savannah has celebrated the feast of St. Patrick on March 17 since 1824, according to the official parade site. In 2027, March 17 falls on a Wednesday. For groups, it is the hardest day of the year to run a vehicle downtown: streets along the parade route close, and hotels fill long in advance.
What works: a drop-off and pickup at the edge of the closures, agreed in advance, with the group walking in. An hourly booking keeps the vehicle nearby. What does not work: planning a party bus route through the middle of downtown that day. Book early, and expect the desk to suggest a simpler plan than a normal Saturday.
A planning timeline
- As soon as the date is set. Spring and autumn Saturdays, festival weeks and St. Patrick's week book early. Reserve the vehicle when you book the venue or the rental house.
- Four to six weeks before. Confirm the headcount, the pickup addresses and the rough timings. Choose between the Sprinter and the party bus.
- One week before. Send the final list of stops, the restaurant reservation times and the agreed pickup corners downtown. Add child seats if any younger guests are coming to an afternoon event.
- The day before. Confirm the first pickup time with the desk and share the chauffeur's details with the group organiser.
- On the night. One person is the contact for the chauffeur. Everyone else enjoys the evening.
Questions to ask before you sign
Whoever you book with, ask these before you pay:
- Is the price all-in? On Elly8.net it includes the vehicle, the chauffeur, taxes and standard gratuity, with tolls, parking and waiting beyond the included time billed at cost. Some quotes add gratuity and fees later.
- Is it per vehicle or per person? Elly8.net prices are per vehicle, always.
- What is the minimum? Three hours on the Elly8.net hourly rate. Ask how extra time is charged.
- How old is the vehicle? Elly8.net partner vehicles are four model years old or newer.
- Is the operator licensed and commercially insured? Every Elly8.net partner is, vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network.
- What are the rules on board? Laws differ between the street and a vehicle, so the chauffeur follows local rules. Elly8.net never plans a ride around drinking.
- What is the cancellation policy? On Elly8.net: free more than 72 hours before pickup; 10% at 72 hours or less; 50% at 48 hours or less; 100% at 24 hours or less or for a no-show, refunded to the original card.
Where the vehicle waits
Savannah's downtown is not built for large vehicles to idle outside every door. The chauffeur drops the group as close as is legal and waits at a nearby spot, then returns to an agreed corner when you call. Choose pickup corners that are easy to describe, such as a named square or a hotel entrance on Bay Street, and share them with the whole group before dinner, so nobody is left looking for the vehicle at midnight.
Party bus, Sprinter or two SUVs?
- Choose the party bus when the ride between stops is part of the celebration: lounge seating, lights and music. It is quoted in the booker. Our party bus rental page explains how it works.
- Choose the Executive Sprinter when the vehicle is mainly the way to get there: forward-facing seats, a high roof, room for twelve bags and a fixed price list. See Sprinter van with driver.
- Choose two SUVs when the group will split up, which in Savannah usually happens around midnight.

Getting the group to Savannah
Many celebration groups fly in on several flights. Book each arrival with its own flight number, or put the whole group in the Sprinter for one airport run at US$355 per vehicle; our Savannah airport car service walkthrough explains how it works. For getting around town between the big nights, our Savannah taxi vs Uber vs private car guide covers the cheaper options, including the free dot shuttle. Bigger weddings and group trips can use group transportation for guest shuttles.

Frequently asked questions
How many people fit on a party bus in Savannah?
The party bus class on our fleet page seats up to 12, the Executive Sprinter up to 12, and the Stretch SUV Limousine up to 16. For more than 16, the desk books two vehicles timed together, or a larger bus if a local partner has one available on your date. Count the group at its biggest point in the evening.
How much is a Sprinter with a driver in Savannah?
The Executive Sprinter costs US$190 an hour with a three-hour minimum, or US$950 on the evening out package, per vehicle and all-in, including the chauffeur, taxes and standard gratuity. A SAV airport run in the Sprinter is US$355. Tolls, parking and waiting beyond the included time are billed at cost.
How many hours should we book?
For a dinner-and-music night, plan five to six hours from first pickup to last drop-off, which is why the evening out package usually fits. A simple concert run is about four hours. Add time for scattered pickup addresses and for gathering the group at the agreed corner downtown.
Can a party bus drive on River Street and around the squares?
Large vehicles cannot always stop on the narrow, one-way streets around the squares or on River Street's cobbled lanes, so the chauffeur drops and collects at an agreed corner nearby. On St. Patrick's Day, plan drop-offs at the edge of the street closures and walk in.
Is alcohol allowed on the party bus?
Laws on alcohol in vehicles differ by place, so the chauffeur follows local rules, and Elly8.net never plans a ride around drinking. Ask the desk about the rules for your date and vehicle when you book, so the group knows what to expect before the night begins.
What is the cancellation policy for group bookings?
Free cancellation more than 72 hours before pickup. At 72 hours or less there is a 10% charge, at 48 hours or less 50%, and at 24 hours or less, or for a no-show, 100%, refunded to the original card. If the date moves, ask the desk to change the booking rather than cancel it.
