How to Book a Party Bus 

Planning your next big celebration? We get it – it’s exciting and fun but can also be a bit of a challenge. One of these challenges is deciding on the ultimate party bus because, let’s be real, it’s not just about getting from A to B… it’s about how you get there.

We’ve created the perfect go-to guide for deciding on the perfect party bus hire for your event – from looking at your event needs, to the route you’ll be taking… all while fitting it into your budget.

 

Knowing Your Event Needs

Choosing the right party bus is like choosing the right playlist – it sets the vibe for your group and event. Whether it a huge birthday bash, or a small and intimate corporate day out, it’s important to find the right party bus to fit your event’s theme and purpose.

This means getting the right sized bus for your group so that it doesn’t feel too crowded and kills the mood, but also isn’t so spacious that it feels like a no-show. You also need to consider the amenities that are the best fit for your entourage. Whether you need a high-quality sound system, lots of dance floor space, more seating, dazzling ambient lighting, or all of the above, you need to take all of this into consideration when narrowing down your party bus options.

 

Reviewing the Party Bus Fleet

You would never purchase a car or house without going to expect it in-person first. The same should be said about your party bus hire! There are many different Perth party bus hire companies out there, some offering very similar services. That’s why you need to skip booking based on online pictures and see the bus in-person if you have never been on it before.

 

It’s easy to touch-up a photo online or make the inside of a party bus look much bigger than it is. Imagine booking a party bus based on those images and it turning up on the day dirty, too small and not as promised… what a vibe kill. Always ask for images of the bus before you book.

 

Setting a Budget

We know budgeting can be a buzzkill and is probably the least exciting thing when it comes to planning your event. However, if you can figure out an amount that you are willing to spend on a party bus before you start looking at options and enquiring for quotes, you can avoid any financial surprises and still throw your perfect affordable celebration.

 

Planning the Route and Schedule

Now, let’s talk about the journey. It’s not just about the destinations you are planning to get to, but about the adventure in between. Make sure you have locked in times for pick-ups, drop-offs, and any stops in between! A well-planned route not only makes the day go by a lot smoother and stress-free, but also keeps the energy high as everyone knows exactly what to expect.

If you can remember your last party bus experience, then you know it was an exciting and unforgettable experience! Now, compare that to travelling by Uber or getting dropped off by your parents. It’s a bit underwhelming. So why not upgrade your festival transfer and arrive in style with your crew on board a party bus?

There are many reasons why party buses are the best mode of festival transfers, with the most important being the convenience and reliability, the cost-effectiveness, and the atmosphere it provides. Read our guide below and see why you should consider hiring a party bus for your next festival transfer!

 

Convenience and Reliability

One of the most frustrating things about attending a festival with a large group of friends is actually trying to find them on the festival grounds. Even if you organise a pre’s and are able to organise a ride (we all know what ordering an Uber during peak times is like), you will often all arrive and get dropped off in smaller groups and at different times, making it a headache to find each other in amongst the crowds. This, together with the usual lack of phone reception on the festival grounds, is a nightmare.

That’s when a pre-organised party bus is the perfect solution for a festival transfer, as it’s guaranteed to get you to where you need to be, and on time! By gathering all your friends at one starting point, leaving and getting dropped off at the same time, you don’t need to be constantly worrying about getting a ride or finding your friends on the day, which leaves your group to just enjoy the fun!

 

Cost-Effective

You’ve spent money on your ticket, your outfit, your drinks, and the last thing you need to worry about is paying peak prices for an Uber or taxi to the actual festival (if you can even manage to secure one that doesn’t cancel on you!). Even splitting the cost between you and a few friends can sometimes leave you out of pocket more than you’d like.

Having a party bus hired for a festival transfer avoids this problem! With a party bus, you benefit from a set service cost that does not fluctuate on the day and leaves you to plan the exact cost of your ride. Plus, the more friends you can gather for your party bus festival transfer, the more people you can divide the cost by, making it cheaper per person!

 

Atmosphere and Ambience

A festival day should be full of partying, music, singing, and dancing. But how often have you been hyped up at pre’s, only to have to reign in the fun while you are getting to the festival, whether it’s by Uber or your parents, only to have to ramp it up again when you get to the festival?

Why don’t you keep the party rolling on the road, with a party bus festival transfer? With the presence of club lighting, high-quality music systems, spacious dance floors, and aux

cables to play your group’s favourite music on route to the festival, you can party non-stop all day!

 

Does a Party Bus Sound Like the Right Festival Transfer Option for You?

Now that you know why a party bus is the perfect option for a festival transfer, what are you waiting for? Make organising your group’s festival transfer easy, stress-free, and as cheap as possible!

Whatever the festival, you can count on DoubleUp’s range of party buses to cater for your group, and get you there! Contact us on 0413 550 044 for a quote today!

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a bachelor/bachelorette party, or a corporate function, a wine tasting is a perfect way to create a day of life-long memories filled with scenery, good food, and most importantly, exceptional wine!  

Luckily, Perth is surrounded by numerous wine regions which are a short drive away and make for a perfect day trip. But why settle for a regular drive when you can get the crew together, make transport a part of the experience, and travel in style with a party bus!  

Read our guide below for our top picks on regions to visit for a full-day wine tour, from the boutique wineries in the Swan Valley, to the trendy wine-bars in the Geographe Wine Region. 

 

Swan Valley 

The Swan Valley is 25km, or a 30-minute drive, from Perth and is one of the most popular regions for young and old, for a wine tasting near Perth. This makes the region a perfect option for a close-to-home wine tour, so you can spend the maximum time at all of the Swan Valley’s renowned cideries, distilleries, and exquisite restaurants and cafes.  

The Swan Valley produces some of Australia’s most premium wines full of superb depth and flavour such as Shiraz, Verdelho, and Chenin Blanc. Some our must-visit winery picks in the Swan River are Sandalford Wines, Lancaster Wines and Ugly Duckling Wines, which are all popular picks for wine tour stops throughout the day. 

 

Peel Region 

Located around 50km, or 45 minutes, from Perth, the Peel Region is another popular area for a day of wine tasting near Perth. The region boasts seaside vines and boutique wines, making it perfect for a wine tour with a touch of dramatic natural beauty, to pair with magnificent and locally produced food. 

The Peel Region is responsible for growing a number of signature grape varieties, each bragging their own unique taste profiles: from the refreshingly elegant, buttery flavour of Chardonnay to the varying full-flavour of sweet Cabernet Sauvignon. If you’re planning a wine tour in the Peel Region, make sure to add Peel Estate Wines, Tanglefoot, and Lake Clifton Winery to the list of stops for the day! 

 

Margaret River  

The Margaret River wine region is about 270km, or 3 hours, from Perth but is still a great option for a day of wine tasting near Perth. The area is globally renowned for its coastline scenery and its 200+ wineries, which will leave you with endless opportunities to explore! Vineyards in this region pride themselves on farming their grapes organically and without synthetic chemicals. 

Two of Margaret River’s signature grape varieties are Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, both of which are known for their zesty, flowery, and fruity tastes that have been likened to a flavour fusion of lime and green apple. Some unmissable winery picks in Margaret River to taste these elegant varieties are Amelia Park Wines, Leeuwin Estate, and Flowstone. 

 

Geographe Wine Region 

Located around 220km from Perth, or under 3 hours, the Geographe Wine Region is another ideal spot for a wine tasting near Perth. A unique feature of this wine region over others is that it is known for its many small, family-owned vineyards and businesses. The families are passionate about their produce, take great pride in what they craft, and are always willing to share their knowledge with visitors. 

Two of the Geographe Wine Region’s signature grape varieties are Merlot and Tempranillo, both boasting light flavours of berries, stone fruit, and aromatic cedar. Some of Geographe’s most notable and well-known wineries to make a stop at are Smallwater Estate, Talisman Wines, and Oakway Estate.

Do you or a loved one have a birthday coming up? Whether you’re marking a special birthday celebration for an 18th, 21st, 50th or anything else, it can be difficult to come up with new birthday party ideas in Perth.

Which is exactly why it might be time to consider hiring a party bus.

 

What is a party bus?

A party bus is actually exactly what it sounds like. It’s a bus that’s been custom retrofitted to create a party on wheels!

At DoubleUp, we’ve spared no expense in turning our party buses into mobile fun vehicles. With high quality speakers, lush seating, dance room, dancing poles and a whole lot more, it’s easy to understand the appeal of party bus hire.

 

How can I use a party bus for my birthday party?

 

Party buses are hired to provide a few different purposes.

 

Transport

Often, our customers are looking for a unique, exciting, and memorable way to commute to a party, event, concert, festival or even a pub crawl. A party bus takes the hassle out of transport and turns the travel itself into part of the party.

 

Tour

Spending time in a party bus with friends and/or family is so much fun that many customers opt to hire a party bus to help them tour the city or go from one landmark to another. Instead of just travelling in a boring vehicle, hiring a party bus is an excellent way of elevating the whole experience.

 

Trip

We mean it when we say that travelling in a party bus is a party in and of itself. So much so that we even have customers who hire one of our buses just for a trip itself. No specific venue to go to and no event to be at, it’s simply fun to be out on the road with mates and friends partying and dancing the night away.

 

Why consider a party bus for your birthday party?

 

It’s so much fun!

Of course, the main advantage to party bus hire for a birthday party is enjoyment. A birthday is an occasion for celebration and there are few ways better and more affordable for dialling up the fun and excitement than transport by party bus.

 

Maintain Control

No one wants a birthday party derailed by logistics or delays. With a party bus you can get everyone out of your house and out to your chosen venue on time, whatever time that is. There’s no need to worry about people arriving late or getting lost, and you don’t need to worry about coordinating different vehicles or different modes of transport.

 

Stay Together

A party bus allows your entire crew to stick together throughout the birthday party. Party buses are particularly popular for pub crawls for that very reason. Whether it’s your birthday or a loved one’s, a party bus is a hassle-free way of ensuring that the party doesn’t break up.

 

Flexible Party Options

We love the idea of a party bus for a birthday party because it perfectly complements any other plans you might have. In fact, by taking care of transport, it makes it easier! Heading to a concert? Embarking on a pub crawl? Or just visiting a winery? A party bus doesn’t just take the stress and hassle out of logistics but replaces it with a genuinely good time!

 

Memorable

We all want our birthday parties to be memorable, in a good way. Forget the pressure of planning a party bigger than Gatsby’s. With a party bus for hire you and all of your guests will enjoy a night to remember.

According to a Gallup report, there are twice as many “actively disengaged” workers in the world as there are “engaged” workers who love their jobs.

Finding a career path that makes us feel satisfied and successful is certainly not easy. It’s not something that we are taught to do at school and taking that first step towards a career can be quite a daunting task, especially for those who are unsure of where their passion lies or what they value most.

We spend one-third or more of our days at work.

Work defines us.

When we are happy at work, life is good.

When we are unhappy at work it negatively impacts all other aspects of our life.

More than 70% of workers report that they don’t feel happy about their career choices. The question is why? The answer is complex, but one thing we do know is that too many people choose their career based on the opinions and expectations of others. Put more bluntly, people choose their careers to impress others, to feel respected and validated by others and to avoid being poorly judged, in the process, however, they unfortunately lose sight of their own needs and desires.

How do you find the work that makes you feel energised, engaged and happy? What can you do that will help steer you in the right direction or possibly even lead you to the right job?

Skills West Careers Expo is Western Australia’s leading, largest and most attended careers & employment event that enables visitors to explore tertiary and VET course options, find traineeships, apprenticeships, plan new career pathways and find employment.

Oktoberfest – Start planning now!

With the second semester of uni already underway, and the end of financial year been and gone, it’s time to get onto planning those Oktoberfest celebrations before you are sitting there scrolling through Instagram and Facebook looking at those great events with some serious fomo! Follow this part one to see the ins and out of Oktoberfest and the traditions behind this beer drinking extravaganza!

What is Oktoberfest?

On October 12, 1810 the marriage of Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese Charlotte Luise of Saxony-Hildburghausen (what a mouthful) was celebrated in Munich, Germany. This celebration was later termed Oktoberfest, typically as it occurred in October… This has become one of the most popular celebrations around the world and runs either from mid or late September to the first weekend in October but the hype begins a lot earlier, with events popping up everywhere! so you’ve got to get in quick!

Beer:

Within Oktoberfest celebrations only beers that conform to the laws or “purity orders” can be sold and consumed during the celebrations. This law states it must be produced in Munich, and use only ingredients Barley, Hops and Water as ingredients in the production. It originally stems from an attempt to reduce competition with bakers for ingredients, common practices, and cultural norms. Could you imagine only being able to purchase like two types of beer ever? And it being made by bakers? No wonder their celebrations last more than two weeks, you’d need a month to cure the hangover from that nasty stuff!

Thanks to those Royals, drinking beer whilst listening to music, and having a great time has become an annual event (aren’t we lucky!). Spanning for 16-18 days you better make sure to book off a few (or more) days afterwards to recover, as its all fun and games when celebrating with friends, but no one wants to see the aftermath for an entire week after…

If you are unsure of how to get to your Oktoberfest celebration, we are here to help! Drop us a line and we’ll do our best to make it the best celebration!

We look forward to hearing from you!
