When many bachelorettes think of Nashville, they think of one thing: the fun, rowdy, loud party bus rides that weave in and out of downtown Nashville traffic. These buses often aren’t even busses, there’s an extra-large tractor, pedal taverns and even a boat cruise available.

Renting a party bus was one of the most popular things you could do in Nashville, until last fall. In October 2021, the Nashville City Council enacted an ordinance that forbid alcohol on open air vehicles. This means that some of the most popular party busses, many operating since before 2019, have had to adjust their operations.

But don’t worry, there are still many great party bus and tour options available in Nashville, despite the new regulations. This guide includes the best party vehicle options in Nashville.

The best party busses and transportation in Nashville

There are many different options for touring Nashville in style. You aren’t just limited to a rental car! The Nashville tourism industry provides many competitive options, including classy booze cruises, pedal taverns, boats, bikes and more!

While there are many more transportation options than the ones listed in this post, the Nash Bach team limited the list to transportation options that are safe in the summer. Some of the party bus options have used plexiglass to insulate the vehicles once the new ordinance was enacted. While this makes them eligible to continue business – it also makes the experience very hot and humid in the warmer months.

All vehicles listed in this post will provide an amazing and comfortable experience for you and your bachelorette party.
