Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a standard party bus rental?
Standard rentals include a professional chauffeur, vehicle fuel, basic cleaning, and onboard amenities listed in the vehicle description. Optional add-ons such as decorations, red-carpet entrances and custom playlists are available for an extra fee.
How early should I book for prom or wedding season?

A Short Local Story
One spring evening a wedding party from Mariposa asked for a short loop through El Portal so grandparents could see the river before the reception. Our chauffeur carefully navigated the narrow roads, parked near a familiar river overlook, and the group stepped out for a few photos. That small detour turned the ride into a lasting memory — exactly the kind of thoughtful service RentX aims to provide.
