Where we pick up in Minneapolis
We pick up anywhere in Minneapolis: your home, your hotel, your office, or the restaurant or bar where the night starts. This page is the guide to the city. For rates and every bus, start at party bus rental in Minneapolis.
Downtown and the Warehouse District
Hotels, offices, the stadiums and the arena. On game days and show nights we drop you near the doors, and the bus is waiting when it is over. Close by: U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Center, First Avenue, The Armory.
North Loop
Start with dinner or drinks, then let the bus handle the rest of the night. Close by: Target Field.
Northeast
More taprooms per square mile than anywhere in the state, and you can’t drive between them. This is where a brewery tour earns its bus. Close by: Indeed Brewing, Bauhaus Brew Labs.
Uptown and the lakes
Bar and music nights, and home pickups. St Louis Park’s West End is about five minutes west. Close by: Uptown Theater.
Dinkytown and the U of M
A Gophers Saturday means campus traffic and permit-only lots. We handle the round trip from wherever you are tailgating. Close by: Huntington Bank Stadium.
Anywhere else in the city
Homes, hotels and offices in every neighborhood. Give us the address and the bus comes to your door.

We utiiized Rent My Party Bus for my daughter’s wedding. They transported a large wedding party from the Church in St. Paul, to an iconic bar en route to the reception, and finally the reception in Mpls. Great service and attention to detail from start to finish. Highly recommend.

We had so much fun! We took the party bus for my daughter's 21st birthday, from Forest Lake to Minneapolis. Chad was our driver and he was amazing! Very flexible, very fun! All of the guests had an amazing time dancing and singing and drinking! We'll definitely go through them again . Thanks so much!

Where does the bus drop us on a game day?
Near the gates. We drop you as close as the stadium’s event traffic plan allows, and the bus is waiting when the game is over. It is always a short walk, never a parking-ramp hike.
Does the bus wait during a concert or a game?
Tell us your plan and we’ll build the trip around it. Most groups book drop-off and pickup around the show, and the bus is staged nearby when you walk out.
Can we add a dinner or bar stop before the show?
Yes. Many groups start at a restaurant or bar and let us handle the downtown leg. Make as many stops as fit inside your booked time.
How long is the ride from the suburbs to downtown Minneapolis?
About 10 minutes from St Louis Park, 20 from Bloomington, 25 from Maple Grove and 30 from Lakeville.
Do you run brewery tours in Minneapolis?
Yes. Book any bus for a private brewery tour: you choose the breweries and the pickup, and the driver handles the route. Popular stops include Surly, Pryes, Indeed and Bauhaus Brew Labs.
Do you pick up in St Paul and the suburbs too?
Yes. We are based in St Paul and serve the whole Twin Cities metro, plus Rochester, St Cloud and western Wisconsin.
