Party Transport Wollongong

Getting a group from A to B is often the piece of a celebration people leave until last, and in the Illawarra it shapes the night more than you'd think. A party bus turns the trip itself into part of the event, while a chauffeured car is about arriving in style and not worrying about parking at the other end.

The operators listed here travel the whole region, from Northern Wollongong through the city and Dapto to Shellharbour, Lake Illawarra, Kiama and Gerringong. The Chalkboard Bus runs three party buses with sound, lights and a dance floor, and the largest takes 44 seated and 25 standing. For smaller parties, Superior Hire Cars and Wollongong Limousine Services provide chauffeured stretch limousines, with luxury sedans from the former and a minibus for up to ten from the latter.

Both car operators list weddings and school formals among their bookings, while the bus is set up for birthdays, hens and bucks nights and Christmas parties.

Three questions sort out which kind of vehicle you need:

• How many people need to travel together – seven to nine fits a stretch limousine, larger groups suit a bus
• Is the vehicle the party, or just the ride – a dance floor and BYO eskies, or ribbons and a red carpet
• How many stops are on the plan – ceremony, photos and reception, or a run of venues across the night
• Does anyone need extra help – wedding dresses, flowers or umbrellas on a wet day
