Choose one lead parent or group contact, confirm every rider and leave breathing room between photos, dinner and the dance.

Routes are locked in advance, trips are alcohol-free, a parent or guardian signs and curfews are enforced. The terms protect the riders and are spelled out in the quote.
Prom vehicles sell out first
April and May Saturdays disappear from the calendar before any other dates. Booking in late winter is the difference between choosing a vehicle and taking what is left.

April and May prom Saturdays sell out first. Groups that book in late winter get the widest choice of party buses and stretch limos; last-minute groups take what is left.
