Party Transport in Newcastle

What to Know Before Booking Transport

Getting a group across Newcastle comes down to two questions: how many people are riding, and whether the vehicle is part of the celebration or just the ride. The operators listed here cover the lot, from a car for the couple to a bus for 45, and each travels across Newcastle City & Harbour, Merewether & The Junction, Western Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

For a crowd, the party buses do the heavy lifting. Big Daddy Party Bus has buses for 15 up to 45 and a 24-seat mini bus with seatbelts, with six-hour hires from $1,200. CMC Party Buses runs pink, yellow and black themed buses for up to 35 each, and Damien's Party Bus takes 30 with an on-board host and drops guests home afterwards.

Smaller groups and wedding days lean towards cars with character. Classic Limousines Newcastle drives ivory Princess limousines from the 1950s and 60s, Krusin Kombis has restored VW Kombis from $1,400 a hire, and Chic Chevs runs 1957 Chevrolet stretches in red or white. Hunter Supercruise chauffeurs a Lamborghini or a 1968 Camaro from $300 for the first hour.
