A few of the organizations across New Braunfels that have trusted us with their group transportation.
See live pricing & availability in seconds!
Party Bus In Austin has been coordinating group transportation across Central Texas since 2011 — and New Braunfels is one of our busiest destinations. The city draws millions of visitors a year to its rivers, its dance halls, and its festivals, and the I-35 corridor gets notoriously congested every holiday weekend and during events like Wurstfest in October and November. We know what that traffic looks like at 6 p.m. on a Friday when every tubing outfitter on the Comal is releasing groups at the same time.
Our 24/7 reservation team is always one quick call away to help you work through any logistical question — which vehicle fits your headcount, how to handle pickups when guests are spread across a wedding hotel in Gruene, or which route to take when the Landa Park area is completely gridlocked. You get an exact, all-inclusive price in under 30 seconds online, and you will never be surprised by costs you did not plan for. From small birthday crews in a 14-passenger Sprinter limo to a full 56-passenger charter bus hauling a corporate group down from Austin, we match every group to the right vehicle at the right rate.
Call 512-375-4204 any time for a free quote, or use our online tool for instant pricing.
Our fleet covers every group size New Braunfels throws at us: 14-passenger Sprinter limos for VIP arrivals, 15–50 passenger party buses for river celebrations and Gruene nights out, compact 15–35 passenger minibuses for wedding shuttles and corporate hops, and full 40–56 passenger charter buses for large conventions, school trips, and multi-stop festival runs. You never pay for seats you do not need.
For groups who want the party going before they hit the river or the dance floor, our 15–50 passenger party buses come loaded — full-length onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, and open floorspace that makes the ride itself part of the night. Sprinter limos handle smaller VIP runs with premium leather, USB charging at every seat, and tinted privacy windows.
For longer hauls down from Austin or up from San Antonio, full-size charter buses carry your whole crew in reclining seats with climate control, WiFi, power outlets, overhead storage, and onboard restrooms — so nobody is asking for a pit stop before you even reach Gruene. ADA-accessible vehicles are available across our fleet; just let us know before your trip date so we can pair you with the right bus.

Party Bus In Austin offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact number before you ever book. Our New Braunfels party bus and charter bus rental prices break down like this: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day.
Final pricing shifts with mileage, vehicle type, and time of year. Wurstfest weekends, Memorial Day and Labor Day on the river, and New Braunfels Unicorn Festival dates all drive demand up — book those dates months out. Split the cost across a full bus, and the per-person math almost always beats coordinating separate cars.

New Braunfels is not a city where you want to improvise parking. Landa Park fills up by 10 a.m. on a summer Saturday. Gruene Historic District has almost no public parking, and the streets around Gruene Hall get so congested on Friday nights that groups routinely spend 30 minutes circling before giving up and walking blocks.
Add a bachelorette party, a wedding rehearsal, and a river tubing run to the same weekend, and coordinating separate cars turns into a full-time job. A New Braunfels party bus rental solves all of it in one call.
Since 2011, we have built thousands of successful group itineraries across the Hill Country corridor — bachelorette nights based in Gruene, Wurstfest fan shuttles, wedding hotel loops, corporate groups rolling in from Austin. Our reservation team works with you on the exact sequence: which venue loads first, where to park on Gruene Road without blocking traffic, how to time a pickup at Schlitterbahn when a group of 40 is coming off a ride. You get 24/7 support, ADA-accessible vehicles on request, and a single, exact price with nothing added later.
Call 512-375-4204 to lock in your date today.
Party Bus In Austin handles group transportation for every kind of occasion in and around New Braunfels — from airport runs and river-day shuttles to Wurstfest fan travel, wedding loops, prom nights, and brewery crawls through the Hill Country. Whatever your group needs, we have a vehicle and a plan. Call 512-375-4204 to get your group moving!
New Braunfels sits roughly 30 miles from San Antonio International Airport (SAT) (9800 Airport Blvd, San Antonio, TX 78216) via I-35 North, and about 50 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) (3600 Presidential Blvd, Austin, TX 78719) via I-35 South. Both corridors carry heavy freight and commuter traffic, and on festival weekends or holidays the merge at the I-35/Loop 337 split in New Braunfels can add 20 or more minutes to what looks like a straightforward drive on the map.
A New Braunfels airport shuttle bus rental gets your whole arriving group into one vehicle instead of staggering rideshares across two airports and three terminal exits. Your group assembles at baggage claim, your coordinator calls us, and the bus is there. For cruise groups connecting through SAT to PortSan Antonio, we plan accordingly.
Call 512-375-4204 to book your airport transfer today.
New Braunfels is one of the top bachelorette destinations in Texas — and for good reason. You can float the Comal River in the afternoon, dinner at a Gruene patio restaurant in the evening, and close out at a live music set inside Gruene Hall, all without anyone in the group touching a steering wheel. The catch is that Gruene Road offers essentially zero parking after 7 p.m., and rideshare ETAs in the district run long after a show ends and 200 people all request a pickup simultaneously.
A New Braunfels bachelorette party bus rental fixes the whole evening: your group loads up with the bar already stocked, the lighting already set, and the playlist queued. The bus waits on Gruene Road between stops so the crew never waits. For groups continuing the night into San Antonio — the Pearl District or St. Mary's Strip — a 25-passenger party bus keeps the party going down I-35.
Call 512-375-4204 now to lock in your date!
A party bus arrival at a quinceañera or Sweet 16 venue is an entrance that no one forgets. New Braunfels has a strong quinceañera tradition, with popular reception venues including Sophienburg Hall and banquet spaces along I-35 in nearby Seguin and San Marcos. For Sweet 16s and milestone birthdays, groups often add a tubing run on the Comal, a Schlitterbahn visit, or a Gruene Hall dance-floor stop before the main event.
Our party buses in New Braunfels can be pre-loaded with a custom playlist, coordinated in color scheme, and booked in white, black, or silver to match your theme. For adult milestone birthdays heading to San Antonio for a night out, the 15–50 passenger party bus means no one has to leave early to drive. Call 512-375-4204 any time to plan your celebration.
Gruene Hall (1281 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is the oldest continually operating dance hall in Texas, and on a Saturday night with a name act on stage, Gruene Road backs up for half a mile in both directions. Parking in the Gruene Historic District is street-only, scarce, and routinely policed — a $50 citation for parking on private property is a routine end to a great night out. Groups also travel from New Braunfels up to Austin for shows at Moody Center or Stubb's, or down to the AT&T Center in San Antonio for arena concerts.
A New Braunfels concert bus rental drops your group at Gruene Hall's front entrance while the bus takes care of the parking question entirely. For out-of-town shows, a 56-passenger charter bus turns the I-35 drive into a rolling pregame. Our party buses come with a built-in bar and Bluetooth sound to keep the energy up from pickup to first song.

New Braunfels is a growing business hub, and the I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin means corporate groups regularly move between the two metros for conferences, client events, and off-site retreats. The McKenna Events Center (801 W San Antonio St, New Braunfels, TX 78130) hosts local conferences and corporate functions downtown, while groups heading to larger conventions use the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio (200 E Market St, San Antonio, TX 78205) or the Austin Convention Center (500 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX 78701).
A charter bus rental in New Braunfels keeps your team off I-35 in their own cars and together on one vehicle with WiFi and power outlets so the work continues on the way. No one circles downtown San Antonio garages looking for clearance above 7 feet. Call 512-375-4204 to discuss corporate shuttle contracts and group rates.
Every October and early November, Wurstfest — New Braunfels's legendary German heritage festival at Landa Park (164 Landa Park Dr, New Braunfels, TX 78130) — draws 100,000+ visitors over ten days. Landa Street and Common Street back up for blocks in both directions during peak evening hours, and the festival's overflow parking lots fill before dark. Rideshare demand after closing time produces 30-minute waits and surge pricing that can run two to three times the base rate.
A private charter bus to Wurstfest handles all of it: your group loads from a single hotel or meeting point, the bus waits in the designated commercial area while you enjoy the biergarten, and it is there when the last polka set ends. For family reunions spanning multiple Hill Country stops — Natural Bridge Caverns, the river, a Gruene lunch — one bus keeps everyone together and on schedule. Instead of coordinating a five-car caravan across New Braunfels on a festival Saturday, one flat rate covers the whole group.
Call 512-375-4204 to get your private event on the road!
Comal ISD and Canyon High School both draw large prom classes, and the stretch of late April through May is the single most in-demand window for party buses in the New Braunfels area. High schools across Comal and Guadalupe counties hold their proms within a tight 5–6 week window, and demand for the right vehicle size spikes fast. For prom: book by December or expect premium pricing or no availability.
A typical 6-hour prom rental — school pickup, a pre-prom photo stop at Landa Park, venue drop, and after-prom return — runs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when booked four to six months early, but $2,800–$3,500 or more if booked last-minute. We work directly with parent committees across New Braunfels to coordinate group pickups, confirm timing, and keep the night on schedule. Call 512-375-4204 today to secure your prom date.
New Braunfels schools run field trips to destinations across the Hill Country and the two metros — Natural Bridge Caverns (26495 Natural Bridge Caverns Rd, San Antonio, TX 78266) is a perennial favorite just 12 miles south on I-35, and the Witte Museum (3801 Broadway St, San Antonio, TX 78209) draws science and history groups from across Comal County. For longer drives, the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi and the Texas State Capitol in Austin are full-day itineraries that need reliable, comfortable transportation.
A New Braunfels school charter bus gives students TV monitors and a PA system for educational content on the road, overhead bins for lunches and field gear, and undercarriage storage for equipment. ADA-accessible buses are always available — give us advance notice so we can pair you with the right vehicle. We coordinate directly with teachers and chaperones to confirm pickup timing and keep the day moving on schedule.
Call 512-375-4204 for school field trip rates in New Braunfels.
New Braunfels sports fans follow two major pro markets. San Antonio is 30 miles south on I-35, where the Spurs play at Frost Bank Center (1 AT&T Center Pkwy, San Antonio, TX 78219) and the San Antonio FC play at Toyota Field (7000 Toyota Field, San Antonio, TX 78244). Austin is 50 miles north, where fans head to Q2 Stadium (on McKalla Place, Austin, TX 78758) for Austin FC matches and to Moody Center for big events.
Getting your crew to a Spurs game by rideshare means multiple cars, multiple ETAs, and a surge-priced ride home at 10:30 p.m. when 18,000 other fans are doing the same thing. A New Braunfels sporting event bus rental keeps your whole group in one vehicle, drops you near the arena entrance, and the bus waits for the post-game pickup so nobody is standing outside for 45 minutes. For tailgating groups, undercarriage storage handles the coolers.
Call 512-375-4204 to book your game-day shuttle!
Gruene Historic District has become one of Central Texas's most sought-after wedding backdrops, and the venue list reflects that: Gruene Estate (1275 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130), Antebellum Oaks in the Hill Country, and the Hoffman Haus in Fredericksburg draw New Braunfels wedding parties every weekend from March through November. The challenge is that Gruene Road cannot absorb 80 wedding guests all arriving in separate cars — there is simply not enough parking within a reasonable walk of any venue in the district.
A wedding shuttle in New Braunfels takes care of the parking question before it becomes a problem: a minibus runs continuous loops from your hotel on I-35 to the venue entrance, guests step out steps from the door, and nobody in formal wear walks a quarter mile from a gravel overflow lot. We coordinate clear pickup windows and staged departures so your wedding timeline holds from ceremony to last dance. For the bridal party itself, a 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right fit.
Call 512-375-4204 for a free wedding transportation quote.
The Texas Hill Country wine trail runs right through New Braunfels's backyard, and the concentration of wineries, distilleries, and craft breweries within a 30-minute radius makes a New Braunfels winery tour party bus rental one of the most popular itineraries we build. Dry Comal Creek Vineyards (1741 Herbelin Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78132) is the area’s flagship winery, featuring estate-grown Texas wines in a setting just off FM 306. Guadalupe River Brewery (1580 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130) sits steps from the river with a laid-back taproom and a broad rotating tap list.
Fredericksburg, the epicenter of Texas wine country, is about 75 miles west and worth a full-day charter bus run for groups serious about the trail.
Your group stays together in a comfortable party bus or minibus rental, no one draws the short straw to stay sober and drive, and there is no scrambling for parking at every stop. Call 512-375-4204 for a free quote!

I cannot say enough good things. The bus was gorgeous, the team was responsive, and the night went exactly as planned. We were comfortable, we had fun, and we got home safe. It took all the usual group-outing stress away. My friends are already asking when we go again.

Great value and a great time. They split easily across our group and gave us a clean, comfortable bus with a killer sound setup. We rolled around New Braunfels without a care. The booking process was painless and they followed through on everything. Highly recommend for any occasion.
Clementine R.
From planning to drop-off it was seamless. The bus arrived early, looked fantastic, and kept everyone together and happy through the whole evening. No parking, no separated cars, no stress. We had an amazing time and the team made it all so easy. Booking them again, no question.
Horatio B.
Reliable, clean, and a lot of fun. They handled the logistics so we could just enjoy the night. The bus was comfortable and the lights and music made it feel like a real event. We got around New Braunfels with zero hassle. One of the smoothest group nights I've ever had.
New Braunfels party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, date, and how many hours you need. Our current rates: small party buses (15–20 passengers) run $204–$378/hour; mid-size (20–30 passengers) run $244–$414/hour; large party buses and minibuses (35–50 passengers) run $294–$490/hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Wurstfest weekends, summer river holidays, and prom season all push rates toward the higher end — the earlier you book, the better the price.
Call 512-375-4204 for an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds.
Yes. Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels (400 N Liberty Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is accessible for bus drop-off along North Liberty Avenue, with oversized vehicle parking available in the main lot. Summer weekends — especially Memorial Day through Labor Day — pack the park and strain parking for the entire surrounding neighborhood.
A bus rental drops your whole crew at the gate entrance and picks them up at an agreed time, cutting out the need to coordinate car seats, parking costs, and scattered pickup locations when wet, tired kids are ready to leave. Call us in advance so we can confirm the current commercial drop-off zone for your visit date.
Most tubing outfitters on the Comal — including Rockin’ R River Rides (1405 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130) and Comal Tubes — have a put-in and a take-out point that are a short walk or shuttle ride apart. A bus rental covers the pre-tubing staging point, drops your group at the put-in, and picks everyone up at the take-out end after the float. For river groups of 20 or more, this is far more efficient than carpooling, and it means no one has to stay sober and shuttle the group back.
Summer weekend availability books up fast — call 512-375-4204 well ahead of your float date.
Wurstfest at Landa Park uses a combination of on-site parking and remote overflow lots with shuttle service during the festival’s run in late October and early November. Commercial vehicles and charter buses are directed away from the main Landa Street entrance and toward designated staging areas; the festival publishes updated parking and shuttle maps each year at wurstfest.com. Because specific lot assignments shift year to year, we recommend confirming the current commercial vehicle zone directly with the festival before your event date.
We always build in time for the approach along Common Street, which backs up significantly by 6 p.m. on peak festival evenings.
New Braunfels bus rentals are in demand nearly year-round — river season (Memorial Day through Labor Day) and Wurstfest (late October through early November) are the two peak windows where availability tightens fastest. Spring break and prom season (March through May) add a third surge, and wedding season runs March through November with particular density on fall Saturdays in Gruene. Outside those windows, January and February offer better availability and lower rates.
For any event in a peak window, booking three to six months out is the standard — a month out for a Wurstfest weekend often means settling for whatever is left.
For most New Braunfels occasions, three to six months in advance is the target to secure both the best vehicle and the best price. Prom season requires the most lead time — book by December for a spring prom, or expect premium rates. Wurstfest and Labor Day river weekends move nearly as fast; book those by August at the latest.
Weddings in Gruene during fall shoulder season book out six months or more ahead because the venue and the transportation often fill on the same timeline. The earlier you call, the more options we can put in front of you. Lock in your date at 512-375-4204 today.
New Braunfels packs an impressive range of destinations into a compact Hill Country city — from a 180-year-old dance hall to one of Texas’s most visited waterparks. Here are six of the most popular group destinations we serve in and around New Braunfels.
Built in 1878 and still booking live music every weekend, Gruene Hall (1281 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is the oldest continually operating dance hall in Texas. It has hosted Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, and George Strait, and its open-air stage and sawdust floor draw visitors from across the state. Gruene Road has no dedicated public parking lot; visitors park on grass shoulders and side streets that fill completely by 8 p.m. on any night with a marquee act.
Groups arriving by bus get dropped at the front entrance while the bus waits off Gruene Road — and avoids the half-hour crawl out of the district entirely.
Address: 1281 Gruene Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130
Phone: (830) 629-5077
Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels (400 N Liberty Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is consistently ranked among the top waterparks in the United States and the park that invented the Master Blaster uphill water coaster. The park spans two separate complexes — the original west side and the Surfenburg east side — linked by a tube chute. Peak summer weekends see the main parking area fill before 11 a.m., with overflow directed to remote lots and a walk of 10 minutes or more in full sun before you even reach the gate.
A bus rental drops your group at the Liberty Avenue entrance with all the gear loaded in undercarriage storage.
Address: 400 N Liberty Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130
Phone: (830) 625-2351
Natural Bridge Caverns (26495 Natural Bridge Caverns Rd, San Antonio, TX 78266) sits 12 miles south of New Braunfels on I-35 and is the largest show cavern in Texas, with massive limestone formations discovered in 1960 by a group of St. Mary’s University students. The Discovery Tour descends 180 feet below the surface through chambers named the Hall of the Mountain King and the Castle of the White Giants. Group rates are available for parties of 20 or more, and the cavern recommends booking group visits in advance during summer months.
School groups and family reunions are among the most frequent charter bus visitors. The approach from New Braunfels runs south on I-35 to exit 175.
Address: 26495 Natural Bridge Caverns Rd, San Antonio, TX 78266
Phone: (210) 651-6101
Landa Park (164 Landa Park Dr, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is the heart of outdoor New Braunfels — a 51-acre municipal park built around the headwaters of the Comal River, the shortest navigable river in the United States. The park includes a spring-fed swimming pool, an 18-hole golf course, miniature train rides, paddleboat rentals on Lake Landa, and the launch point for tubing the upper Comal. During Wurstfest, the festival grounds adjoin the park and the entire Landa Street approach becomes one long traffic queue.
The park’s main lot off Landa Street is the first to fill on summer weekends, often by mid-morning. Bus groups drop at the park entrance and skip the lot search entirely.
Address: 164 Landa Park Dr, New Braunfels, TX 78130
Phone: (830) 608-2160
Dry Comal Creek Vineyards (1741 Herbelin Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78132) is one of the original Hill Country estate wineries and among the few in Texas growing Black Spanish — a grape uniquely suited to Texas soil. The winery sits on a quiet back road off FM 306, about six miles from downtown New Braunfels, and pours its estate-grown wines in a tasting room that opens Thursday through Sunday. Visiting groups regularly combine Dry Comal Creek with a stop at Gruene Hall and dinner on the Guadalupe, making it a natural anchor for a New Braunfels wine tour.
Bus parking is available on the property’s gravel area.
Address: 1741 Herbelin Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78132
Phone: (830) 625-3810
McKenna Events Center (801 W San Antonio St, New Braunfels, TX 78130) is the city’s primary venue for conferences, banquets, corporate events, and large private gatherings, with a main ballroom capacity of more than 500 and meeting space that accommodates breakout sessions and trade shows. It sits on the western edge of downtown New Braunfels, adjacent to Landa Park, and the surrounding street grid carries heavy traffic during any large event. The Civic Center Lot off West San Antonio Street is the closest public parking, but it fills quickly on event evenings.
Charter bus drop-off at the main entrance on West San Antonio Street keeps your guests dry and on time regardless of what the lot situation looks like.
