\\FAQ

Q1. How much is it to book a party bus and/or cab?
A. Every event is different and the price varies depending on which vehicle you want, the timings, locations, number of passengers and the type of event so we can email you some questions and when we receive your answers we will give you some price options. There is an approximate price guide on our website however we do add surcharges for any extra services you require and also to get from our depot to you for the 1st pickup and back after the last drop off.

We can also design a package to suit your budget so give us a try!

Q2. Where can we go and what can we do?
A. It's up to you as long as it's legal and within a 100km radius of Sydney! Longer trips are by special request only in our standard buses and coaches.

Q3. What is the maximum amount of passengers you can carry?
A. Our buses vary from 21 to 63 seats depending how many seats you require. Also we can take larger groups by using more than one bus/cab or doing shuttle trips. The London cabs take up to 5 passengers.

Q4. Are their limitations on BYO alcohol?
A. The consumption of BYO alcohol by our passengers is at our discretion and under our responsible control and depends on each individuals behavior. We will not tolerate anyone behaving inappropriately or breaking our reasonable safety rules. Please read our 'on board rules' and terms and conditions. We also do not allow any type of glass, glasses or glass bottles on board. Cans, flasks, plastic containers and casks only. Bottles of champagne and wine are permitted for certain events by special request to us by email only. You must bring your own plastic cups and ice.

Q5. Can we eat, smoke, bring party products, glass, glasses or bottles on board?
A. You may eat on board the buses provided you are paying a $120 charge for cleaning, if you make a mess with food or party products you may lose part or all of the bond paid unless you clean it up. We also have a variety of catering packages , they start at $25 per person plus a $50 delivery fee so ask us to email you the options. If you want to bring your own food to eat on board we only charge the $120 cleaning/admin fee and you must supply your own utensils, plates etc. We do not allow bottles, glasses or anything made of glass (except limited champagne and wine by emailed request only for certain events) or anything that will make a lot of mess. Any food must be in strong sealed containers. No smoking or drugs on board by law, cigarettes also burn holes in our vinyl seats and floors and we will smell the smoke if anyone lights up! We can make stops for passengers to smoke off board.

Q6. Can we dance on the bus/cab or use the stairs/steps?
A. You can only dance on the double decker bus or use the stairs when it is safely parked in the relevant area and you are told you can by our staff. The single decker's and cabs do not have dance floors but you can dance in your seats if you want!

Q7. Can we change the plan before or on the day/night of the event?
A. Only if it is OK with our staff and does not affect other plans or bookings that day or night. You may also have to pay extra in cash. Please do not insist or argue if you are told no!

Q8. Is there a bond to pay in case of mess or damage?
A. We do charge a $400 bond on our buses and cabs. This bond will be detailed in the quote and is to cover any dangerous or antisocial behavior, damage, theft or unreasonable mess and is payable on booking and refundable within a week after your booking if there are no incidents of that nature.

Q9. Can we bring our own music?
A. You may bring Cd's for the double decker, the London cabs and the yellow 'retro bus' single decker however the standard white single decker's all have different music systems that will be detailed in the quote that we send you subject to availability. We advise you to bring a portable stereo and cd's that can be kept on board the standard white single decker's and picked up the next working day however we do not take financial responsibility for personal effects.

Q10. Can we bring an iPod and/or stereo?
A. You can bring an iPod on the double decker and the yellow 'retro bus' single decker, these buses have an iPod connection and also have a cd stereo system. If you have booked a standard white single decker, please refer to the quote as the music systems differ on each bus. We advise you to bring a portable stereo and cd's on the standard white single decker's however we do not take financial responsibility for personal effects. The London cabs all have cd players so bring your favorite cd's along.

Q11. How many pickups, stops and drop offs can we have?
A. It is up to you however we prefer 1 initial pickup and 1 final drop off as it is much easier to organise your event and you get the maximum amount of time to enjoy the bus. We can have as many stop offs as your booking time allows however remember you need to factor in extra time for each pickup, stop off and drop off due to crowd control. We suggest one stop/pickup/drop off for each 90 minutes of your booking. So a 6 hour booking would have an initial pickup, 3 stops or venues and a final drop off.

Q12. Can we have other businesses involved e.g. caterers, strippers, musicians, magicians, entertainers?
A. Yes but only by prior arrangement through us and we charge a $125 administration fee. You must book and pay the agent directly then supply the contact details of the agent to us well before the event so we can liaise with them regarding timings & locations. No surprises please!!! We also provide these services directly for an extra charge, please ask for our details and prices. 

Q13. How far in advance should we pay our deposit and balance?
A. We advise you to pay your deposit as soon as possible as our buses and cabs are very popular and we operate on a '1st pay 1st served' basis. We always have 3 or more quotes out per bus/cab for most dates. You can pay the balance anytime prior to a week before your event (if you are paying in cash on the day please have it ready, in order and avoid using coins) OR please refer to the payment details on the quote when we send it.

Q14. Do you have toilets on your buses and/or cabs?
A. No however we can make stops for passengers to use toilets off board. We stop as soon as it is safe to do so at an acceptable location. Please do not hassle our staff if we can't stop straight away! Passengers should use a proper toilet before they board at each pickup and when they get out of the vehicle.

Q15. Do you have air conditioning or heating on the buses and/or cabs?
A. Not on the double decker due to it's age (1949) or the larger single decker's (except the windscreen heater) so open a window or bring a coat, but we do have air conditioning and heating on the 21 seat single decker's and the London cabs.

Q16. Do you have skies and bins on the buses and/or cabs?
A. We have three 65 liter skies and 2 plastic bins on the double decker and we have 2 large plastic bins on the single decker's for drinks and empties and all our London cabs have an ice box.

Q17. Can we have a sign or banner put on the buses and/or cabs?
A. Yes however no more than 2 meters by 2 meters unless it's for advertising or marketing events. We can price to get it done for you or you can get it made out of strong vinyl material with a 10mm eyelet in each corner and cord to attach it with at the pickup point. Nothing rude or offensive though! Things like 'Just married' or 'Happy 40th' etc are fine.

Q18. Can we have a ribbon on the buses and/or cabs for weddings?
A. Yes we can organise this for a fee of $80 payable in advance. We also do flower arrangements and champagne on request for an extra fee depending on the details.

Q19. Can we decorate the buses and/or cabs?
A. Only if it does not make a mess and you can only do this within the time frame you have booked the vehicle for. You must also clear away and dispose of decorations before the end of the booking or you may lose part of the bond.

Q20. Do we get free VIP entry to clubs, pubs and venues on our event?
A.Yes but only for 'female groups of legal drinking age' and/or 'mixed gender groups of legal drinking age' . VIP and/or free entry does not apply to 'bucks groups' and/or 'male dominated groups'. For this service you must chose from our list the clubs you wish to go to and email us a passenger list of 'full names' at least 3 days prior to the booking, however please note:
 
Although we can get free VIP entry to some clubs and do inform venues of our intended visit, we do not guarantee entry to any venue as it depends on the managements policy and each individuals and group behavior at the time of arrival and is at the discretion of the door staff on the day or night especially with 'bucks' groups. We do however have an excellent reputation with most venues in Sydney and want to keep it that way so let your group know to behave on arrival or face being refused entry!

Q21. Can we make suggestions for our booking and have special requests?
A. Absolutely, that's what 'the britstop'™ is all about!
