Booking and Reservations
How do I book Red Dragon Party Bus?
Start by sending your event date, preferred start time, estimated number of passengers, pickup area, route, event type, and requested booking duration. Red Dragon Party Bus will review availability and route requirements before providing or confirming your quotation. You can submit your details through the booking page.
When is my booking officially confirmed?
Your date and vehicle are reserved only after the required 50% deposit has been received and confirmed by Red Dragon Party Bus. An inquiry, quotation, social-media conversation, verbal discussion, or unpaid invoice does not reserve the date.
How far in advance should I book?
Booking as early as possible is recommended, especially for Fridays, Saturdays, holidays, long weekends, major events, and peak nightlife dates. Some Makati, private-village, hotel, casino, and venue routes may also require additional time for permit, security, access, or vehicle coordination.
Can I view the party bus before booking?
A scheduled viewing may be available depending on the bus schedule and operating requirements. Contact the team before visiting because walk-in inspections are not guaranteed. You can also view the interior, lighting, seating, and overall setup in the party bus gallery.
Can I change or reschedule my reservation?
Booking changes are subject to availability and must be approved in writing. Changes to the date, time, duration, route, stops, passenger count, or services may result in additional charges when they affect scheduling, permits, route planning, access approvals, vehicle preparation, add-ons, or operating requirements.
Does a promotional rate transfer to a new date?
Not automatically. A promotional rate is approved for a specific booking and may need to be reviewed again if the date, schedule, route, duration, or other important details change. Any promotional rate must be reconfirmed by Red Dragon Party Bus in writing.
Check Availability for Your Date
Send your date, start time, group size, pickup location, and preferred route so the team can review availability and prepare the correct quotation.
