How the Price Compares
Party bus vs restaurant private room
A restaurant private room in Auckland typically has a minimum spend of $60 to $100 per head for food alone. For 20 people that is $1,200 to $2,000 before drinks. You are in a fixed location with no entertainment and a venue closing time.
Party Bus NZ at $800 for 20 people is $40 per head for the bus hire — with a bartender and full entertainment included. Drinks are additional but you are comparing $40 per head to $60 to $100 per head before you have started drinking.
Party bus vs bar crawl
A bar crawl has no fixed cost but the typical Auckland group night out involves transport costs between venues, entry fees at some venues and drinks at each stop. By the end of a typical bar crawl most people have spent $80 to $150 per head and half the group has disappeared.
The party bus keeps the group together, eliminates transport costs and provides entertainment for a fixed per-head cost.
Per Person Breakdown
- 10 people — $80 per person
- 15 people — $53 per person
- 20 people — $40 per person
- 25 people — $32 per person
- 30 people — $27 per person
- 32 people — $25 per person
