James is the absolute BEST. I have been using him to go to raves, concerts, and sporting events like WMO in the Phoenix area for nearly 5 years now. He is the first party bus service I always text as he ALWAYS provides the absolute best prices. He has always been very understanding and flexible when changes have had to be made last minute and I always trust him to get our group home safe. He is also super considerate and always brings us a big cooler on the bus with water and drinks for the ride! I have ridden with 5+ party bus companies in the area and have gotten quotes from 20+. I am telling you, if you have a group of 25 or less and you are looking for a party bus, you will not beat James and Arizona Bus Company. read more

James is amazing to work with and super friendly!!! I forgot to write my review but I have used James 3-4 times in the last year -- he has taken us to events and parties and he is always accommodating. Thank you James!! I have sent your information to others to make sure that they use you for their bus needs! read more

Arizona Bus Company - Party Bus Rentals Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

THE WORST BUS COMPANY. Picked us up late TWICE during our bachelorette party. When they finally arrived they said we needed to pay and tip before they would drive us home. The bus smelled terrible and it was extremely unprofessional. SAVE YOURE MONEY and do not book with them. read more

I would leave 0 stars but that wasn't an option. We paid $600 total for a bus ride we never got ($100 deposit + $400 for the trip and an advanced $100 tip.) Back story: We reserved the bus in May 2023 to take some family and friends to the Morgan Wallen concert. Arizona Bus Company confirmed a 3:30-4pm pick up with their driver Richie. Sometime around 4pm Richie called and said there was a ton of traffic and he was running late - ok cool, no worries right? (Spoiler alert, there are several more worries to come.) Then we got a call that the bus broke down/overheated down the street from our pickup address, so we patiently waited as he said he needed it to cool down. (Again, ok, that's understandable in this AZ heat.) After waiting over an hour and getting no answer from Richie, we texted him to tell him we were just going to drive since our concert was going to start soon and we live an hour away with traffic. So the 16 of us all got into 3 separate cars and drove ourselves and had to pay almost $100 per car for parking (which is one of the reasons we booked the bus!) It wasn't a huge deal that we had to drive, we all just decided okay, we'll get a refund since they never came right? I mean we paid for services that were never received so it only makes sense they would refund us right?! I mean that's what any respectable company would do... Arizona Bus Company has the audacity to try and fight us on this and NOT refund our money. We even tried fighting the charge with the bank and lost. SO, if you would like to hire a bus company to take you and your family/friends somewhere DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT hire Arizona Bus Company! This company failed to follow through with a commitment, made us late to our concert and we missed one of our favorite bands (sorry Bailey Zimmerman), and now these soulless humans really have to audacity to keep our hard earned money for a service that we never received. I can *maybe* see keeping the $100 deposit - but the problem was on your end, not ours like a last minute cancellation on our part. So as a reasonable consumer and the daughter of a family owned company, we feel the ONLY way to make this right is to issue a full refund ASAP. And if not, then I hope you've seen the TV series My Name is Earl - cause karma is a b!tch and I will rest easy knowing that you'll get yours one day. Side note: if this review is up, they haven't refunded us. And just an fyi JAMES, I will be sharing this review on Facebook, instagram, twitter, threads, Snapchat, next door, and any other social media platforms that come out. read more

The communication from the owner was top notch he bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule I can't recommend these guys enough

It was a heck of a day in Phoenix- gotta love ADOT for freeway and road closures. A tough day for anyone having to drive all over the valley. Thru all of the traffic, our ride was on time and got all of us to our destination safely and on time!!!!! read more

Do not waste your money. Terrible communication, unprofessional and left us 40 minutes away from our destination. Didn't care to make things right. Will never use this company again. read more

James and Ritchie were top notch. Easy process working through James during the busy SB and WMO weekend and he catered to all my needs. Richie our driver was better than could have asked for. Communicated 10/10 and never felt bothered by us coordinating pickups. We had a big group, who can be kinda "outgoing" at times and he was very understanding and allowed us to make short stops also. Very friendly, punctual, courteous and would highly recommend. Thanks again James and Richie! read more

Do not use this company. The bus was late picking us up both ways. Very unprofessional and will not recommend to anyone.

First emailed back and forth to get a quote, gave the best price out of anyone. But then when I asked to put down a deposit for a reservation, he never responded. Then I called and he didn't pick up. He started texting me and was completely unaware of the previous emails we had. I gave him all of the information again and then he never responded. I followed up again and didn't seem to care about giving me a quote or putting down a deposit. read more

Would not recommend to anyone. Original ride was late due to an accident, which was okay. Then when asking about our ride from our restaurant to the bar, said the driver couldn't pick us up. Which we were also okay with. However, when waiting for our ride to take us home, owner of the company had terrible communication and was over an hour late. Then, yelled at the client on the phone and would not take us home. Stranded us 30 minutes away from our house and ruined my Bach party, thanks James! Not recommending to anyone. read more

I've been texting and calling with James on and off for a while trying to find out some ideas of prices/times/ideas to take the bus to for an upcoming bachelorette I'm planning. He has been nothing but patient and helpful, giving lots of suggestions and letting me take the time to figure things out with my indecisive bride :P ultimately we decided just based on other events and things she wants to do to not go with a party bus anymore, but if we were going to do that I would definitely go through with this company and would use in the future. The prices were also much more affordable then other party bus places, and also allowed a slightly less hour minimum and overall seemed more flexible and stress-free to go this route. Definitely recommend for any Scottsdale party bus needs! read more

We reached out to James when we thought we needed an extra bus for transporting our guests for our daughter's wedding. James was so quick to communicate with us and gave us an amazing rate. Unfortunately, we had guests cancel at the last minute and did not need the extra ride. We reached out to James to let him know and he immediately responded with understanding our situation and refunded the deposit. Although we didn't get to use his services, we 100% recommend giving Az Bus Company your business! Thanks again, James! read more

james is seriously the best!! the process of booking the bus was very easy and he was extremely accommodating whenever we needed to stop while on the bus. book with arizona bus company if you're looking for a good time! read more

The bus was great, James was nice. Unfortunately, the bus was late for both our rides. We have rented a boat on Lake Pleasant, and missed 30 mins of our reservation because the bus was late to pick us up. However, James did refund us some money because of this. James runs a good business and cares about his customers. I understand the prior group might have caused the delays, but that's not our problem. That's a scheduling issue that falls on the company - don't schedule two rides so close. read more

Can't recommend James and AZ Bus Company enough! Like other reviews have stated he is by far the most affordable option in the Scottsdale area. He went above and beyond for our group. Easy to work with. Bus was clean and our whole group had a blast. read more

I am not local to AZ and was trying to find a safe, reliable party bus company. James is the best - fun, patient, and easy to work with. Our group had such a blast! I will definitely be working with James again and have recommended him to all my friends. read more

Amazing! I decided to get a party bus pretty late and talking to James made it so easy to figure it out on such short notice. Also by far the cheapest party bus I have seen. Had the best time too, James is so nice and would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a party bus! read more

We could not have asked for a better experience!!! James responded to our quote request very quickly and was absolutely the best deal we could find. He had two large coolers with ice ready to go when we boarded which was great! He was accommodating to any change in destination and was just a quick text away when we were ready to go to the next bar. The sound system was perfect and he had the cord needed to play music from any of our phones. I would definitely book him again! Thanks, James! read more

Easy to work with Jim. Adapted to our needs during our evening. And he was always on time!

James was great, scheduling was a breeze and he was very accommodating. Overall great customer service! Unfortunately for us, the A/C on the bus was on the fritz, so we had 12 people crammed into this sweltering hot-box. It was 108 degrees outside and we were sliding the windows open to cool it off inside, which tells you how miserable it got in there. We starting making jokes about being border-jumping refuges crammed in the back of a coyotes Uhaul :-) The bus was clean and fit 12 of us comfortably, and we picked up 2 more on the way back which got things a bit crowded at 14 passengers. Overall, I'd happily use ABC again, although not if the mercury is over 90 degrees outside given the lack of A/C... read more

they were an hour late and told us to pay in whole before they could take us home. we planned this trip a month before with the route already in place and they told us it was our fault? they suck and unless you want to be stranded don't book them. read more

James really came through for our night out! ABC was by far the least expensive of the 6+ party bus companies I called in the Phoenix area. He arrived exactly on time and let us play our own music in the back of the bus and never batted an eye or made any comments about our....dancing :). James was cool with us switching the pickup location in the middle of our night out and picked us up 20 minutes away from what we originally requested, meaning he was flexible even night-of. This was way better option than us hiring 2 Uber's there and home - would highly recommend for any fun outing! Thanks James! read more

We had an amazing time with Arizona bus company. Our driver James was prompt to pick us up for our concert. The Van was squeaky clean and he even had coolers filled with drinks and snacks! The Drive from the East Valley to Ak-Chin Pavilion Was very smooth. The Van came equipped with cool lights, Air conditioning and two stripper Poles which made it fun for my group! I would definitely use Arizona bus company again for my future Outings. read more

This was the best party bus experience ever! It was a surprise for my sister's 21st birthday and her friends. James was extremely flexible with us and our last minute schedule changes. He had no problem making multiple stops for us. We had a party of 15 and everyone was comfortable and the surround system was great! He also provided an ice chest which was very convenient! The bus is very clean and was nice and cool in this 100°+ weather. My biggest compliment was the he was very responsive (to my million questions) and communicative. Will definitely use James' services in the future! I don't think 5 stars does this enough justice. Thank you once again James! read more

We were on the bus last night that had no air conditioning. See Laura O's review from 8/12/17. Driver was late picking us up and the ride was a "sweat box". After the ball game, it took over 40 minutes for us to finally get a location from him and then "WE" had to walk to the driver because he said he could not get past barricades. There were plenty of cars driving past us on the corner that we had previously agreed to wait of ball field, so he definitely didn't try very hard! We ended up walking another two blocks to get to where he was waiting. Once we got on the bus, the air was still warm inside. It was empty as we entered, so the amount of people was NOT the problem with the AC. After only a few minutes upon departure, the driver slammed on the brakes so hard that all of us went flying forward. A few were injured and needed medical attention. Upon arrival back to the house, the driver could not provide insurance information. We did get a copy of drivers license and pictures of one of the injured's cut and bruised elbow. About a half an hour after the driver left, one of our injured friends started getting very offensive texts that insulted religions, races and included name calling!! We are a very review conscious group of people and we do YELP......I rely on these reviews and trust what they say. Please do yourself a favor and do not even THINK about using this company for any type of business. I saw the texts and the phone number the texts were coming from, it was the same one my husband (point of contact) was using to communicate with this company after he dropped us off. They are denying ever sending these insults....what a joke!!! read more

James did not disappoint! I would recommend him to all my friends & family looking for a fun night out, a kind driver to take them around town safely, or a happening party bus. Cold ac, music of our choice, stocked cooler... what's better? Driver arrived early even during a monster monsoon storm. read more

James was so wonderful! He answered all my questions quickly and got back to me ASAP! Out flight got delayed 3 hours and James still showed up, right on time! We were there for a bachelorette, he even stopped and picked up Champagne at our request beforehand (he also has a stocked cooler). Really makes for a great experience! James was the best priced out of the MANY people I reached out too! GO JAMES!!!!!!!! read more

Gavin was our driver last weekend to the Waste Management Open. He was AWESOME. Our entire bus loved him. He was on time for pick up to and from the open, and the price was so reasonable. Way less expensive than Uber. I will definitely be using this service again in the future! read more

Wow awesome experience using Arizona Bus Company. James the owner gave great customer service from the start answered all questions, (and we had a lot). James our driver was punctual, friendly and even had a cooler of water on board for our guests. We had about 22 rowdy people heading to and from Mill Ave and our driver was incredibly patient and bus was pristine! All around excellent experience and at an extremely competitive price. 10/10 would recommend/ use again. read more

My friends and I took Arizona Bus Company to and from a concert and had a wonderful experience. The AC kept the bus nice & cool and speakers sounded great with our playlist. James was friendly and helpful to us and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable on the bus. Highly recommend! read more

James was an awesome chauffeur! He was on time, bus was clean and exactly as described. He provided a cooler of beer and water and we thoroughly enjoyed our trips to all 3 destinations he took us to. Would definitely use this company again! James- Thanks for getting us where we needed to go and being flexible when our first destination ended up being unavailable to us :) read more

Our experience with Arizona Bus Company was fantastic! From the time I requested a quote to our drop off everything went great. James is professional, responsive and made sure we had everything we needed! I will absolutely recommend this company to anyone! Really a great experience. read more

Arizona Bus Company is by far the best bang for your buck! If you have a group of 14 or less they are the way to go. Super responsive and professional; showed up on time and was knowledgable about the Cottonwood area where our group was doing a wine tour. When comparing them to other vendors, they were by far the most affordable, yet the service is top notch! read more

A Group of friends and I decided to use Arizona bus company yesterday to go to the Diamondbacks game. Unfortunately we had a very bad experience. The driver was late arriving for pick up, the air conditioner was not working properly and it was very warm inside the vehicle. The party bus was dirty and sticky. After the game we waited for 40 minutes for the bus to arrive. We then had to walk two blocks to meet the bus instead of the bus coming to us. Once we started driving the driver slammed on the brakes causing a few people to fall forward. My wife was injured on her neck and elbow. She saw her doctor today and needs to go again next week. This was all bad enough but I later learned that a representative of Arizona bus company had text another man in our party with inappropriate and offensive language. Comments were made about religion and sexual orientation. This is very disturbing. How can a company operate with this kind of customer service? I would never use Arizona Bus Company again. read more

We recently booked AZ bus company for my 30th birthday and I could not be more pleased. Our driver did whatever we asked him to do, even if it meant driving around for an hour prior to our original stop. I request this company for any party needs! They were reliable, affordable, and had great customer service! We will definitely be using them again! read more

James was great! He took us to the Weezer concert at Ak-Chin Pavilion. He had ice, beer and water. Couldn't ask for a better experience! We will definitely use Arizona Bus Company again in the future and I would highly recommend them! read more

My step daughter used this bus service for her prom night. I was told that she had a horrendous experience using this company. Upon arriving on the bus, the bus driver Sharon was vaping, and held a dog in one hand during the entire duration of the ride. My step daughter and her friends also had to wait for 20 minutes past the end of the prom (11:20pm) in an unsafe area, which I feel is unacceptable since their group requested pick up at the location at 10pm (an hour before the end of the program). When they were picked up after the program, upon getting on the bus, my step daughter's group noticed an opened condom left on one of the seats. Again, I feel this is absolutely inappropriate for a bus full of teenagers, at a prom night no less. Also, I was informed by my step daughter that they left a hydro flask with Sharon before going to the prom, not wanting to take the hydro flask with them. When they were asking for it on the ride back, Sharon allegedly gave it to another party. I feel that given all these things mentioned above, this was really very unprofessional and will NEVER use the Arizona Bus Company again. read more
