SOME HANDY HINTS
By booking with Party Bus Central we will make it our first priority that you enjoy your experience with us and that you do so safely.
We recommend all customers read and follow the rules for their specific event and if you have any questions please contact one of our friendly staff for more information. How to help organize a safe event!
The entire point is to have fun and enjoy the Party Bus experience at each different event or establishment we visit along the way. If you do drink too much, you may be refused entry to the bars and that can ruin everyone‟s evening.
With that in mind, there are some important Hints & Tips of the road for a successful party bus event. If you follow them you‟re sure to have a great and safe time. EAT. We strongly suggest that everyone eats before the event and we will also supply Pizza on board FOC on all hires except one-hour transfers where you must supply the food.
Remember our Drivers and Duty Managers reserve the right to refuse service and ultimately send you home in a Taxi at your cost.
Drink Water! Alcohol dehydrates, so it‟s important to “space” your drinks out with glasses of water and re-hydrate. We supply water free of charge and encourage all passengers to drink water in between alcoholic beverages.
Don’t Drink & Drive! We are the transport so please make sure you have a safe way of getting home when we drop you off, at your selected drop off point. If you need multiple stops please let us know well in advance so we can build that into your hire.
All passengers must keep all body parts inside the bus at all times, failure to do so will result in the person being banned from the bus for the remainder of the hire. At no time can any of the passengers try and open the doors whilst the bus is in motion
