“I would recommend 5 Star Limousin to everyone. They were very professional, kind, quick response and helped us get a Limousin for our Sons prom. Their driver was awesome as well. He went over everything in the limo with our group, and made it a great night for them all. Thank you guys so much. We'll definitely be using you again.”

New Year's Eve Transportation — frequently asked questions
How much does a New Year's Eve party bus or limo cost in Orange County?
New Year's Eve stretch limos generally run about $100–$160 per hour, while party buses run about $195–$375 per hour depending on size. Most NYE groups book five to six hours, and December 31 may carry a holiday premium. Splitting the total across the group usually costs less per person than surge-priced rides. See our party bus prices guide for full 2026 rates.
How far in advance should we book for New Year's Eve?
As early as possible — New Year's Eve is the busiest date of the year and sells out weeks in advance. We recommend reserving at least three to four weeks ahead, and earlier for large groups or the prime evening hours.
What time should we start the booking?
Most groups start around 7–8 p.m. for dinner, then continue to the party and countdown, with a drop-off after midnight. We build the schedule around your plans and keep the vehicle with you for the full booking.
Can we make multiple stops on New Year's Eve?
Yes. We plan the route around your group — neighborhood pickups, dinner, the party and a late-night drop-off — so everyone stays together and nobody has to drive.
How many people fit in a New Year's Eve party bus?
Our party buses seat anywhere from 14 to 50 passengers, and our limos and Sprinters cover smaller groups from 6 to 14. The 50-passenger party bus is the most popular choice for large NYE groups.
Is alcohol allowed on the party bus?
Yes, for guests 21 and over. Our party buses are BYOB-friendly and include ice and coolers. Alcohol is not permitted on trips with underage guests, and our chauffeurs enforce a strict no-alcohol policy on those bookings.
Do you charge surge pricing on New Year's Eve?
No. We quote a fixed rate for your date and vehicle, so the price does not change when demand spikes. December 31 may carry a holiday premium, which we confirm in writing before you book.
Which Orange County cities do you serve on New Year's Eve?
We serve NYE groups across Orange County, including Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Fullerton, Tustin, Garden Grove, Westminster and Yorba Linda.
