Licensed Hires

a

Can we drink on the bus?

We have three fully licensed buses which allow you to drink on board while travelling. All of these come with your own personal host who will serve you your drinks and look after you for the entirety of your trip. Check out our licensed buses: The Rock, Ultimate, and VIPER. If using any of our other non-licensed standard buses, you will not be able to drink on board unless you personally obtain a special licence from the Auckland Council.

Can we drink on the bus and stop off at multiple pubs/clubs?

A condition of our liquor licences onboard our fully licensed vehicles is that you are permitted to make a stop at a maximum of one pub or bar during your hire. The moment you stop at a second licensed venue (where you are not stopping for a meal), your event turns into a pub crawl and we legally have to stop serving onboard our vehicles.

So when you get back onboard the bus after the second licensed venue our bar onboard the bus will be closed for the remainder of the hire.

If you have booked our BYO bus you are able to bring Beer, Wine and RTDs that are 6% ABV or less. This means no shots, spirits or RTDs that are higher than 6% abv are allowed onboard, if you do try to bring these items onboard they will be confiscated by the bar manager. If these items are smuggled onboard this would be grounds to terminate the hire.

Our party buses are on-licence venues. A requirement of our liquor licenses is that no alcohol is to be taken off and consumed outside of the bus. If you do take alcohol off the bus, there is a chance you may not be allowed back on, hire could be terminated or you may even get fined by the police.

If it is a licensed hire, you will need to have food onboard the bus as a requirement to have alcohol. This needs to be arranged by the organiser of the hire and must be substantial food e.g Pizza and be enough for the entire hire, if food runs out the bar will close or you will have the options to stop and pick up more food.
