Aurora sits right at the edge of Denver International Airport, Buckley Space Force Base, and the Colorado Rockies' front range — and Colorado Springs Party Bus makes it incredibly easy to move your group anywhere across the metro. Sprinter vans, party buses, minibuses, and full-size charter buses are all available with an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds. Call 303-225-4640 or get instant pricing online today!

Colorado Springs Party Bus has been coordinating group transportation across the Colorado Front Range since 2011 — that's over a decade of school field trips to the Aurora History Museum, corporate shuttles between the Denver Tech Center and DIA, and fan groups heading to Ball Arena for a Nuggets playoff run. We have access to a large network of vehicles sized from 14-passenger Sprinter limos up to 56-passenger charter buses, and every quote is all-inclusive with absolutely no surprise costs at the end. You'll know the exact price before you ever confirm a booking.
What makes Aurora different from a standard Denver run is the city's own geography. It spans more than 160 square miles — stretching from the I-225 corridor near Buckley Space Force Base all the way out to E-470 and Southlands — and the E-470 toll loop, I-70, and the Peña Boulevard approach to DIA all funnel through or around Aurora's borders. Getting a group from Hampden South to a concert at the Fillmore Auditorium without someone getting turned around on I-225 takes more planning than most people budget for.
That's exactly the kind of logistical headache we handle so you don't have to. Our 24/7 reservation team is one quick call away whenever questions come up. Call 303-225-4640 any time!
Every Aurora group trip is different — a 12-person bachelorette pub crawl calls for something very different than a 56-passenger charter moving a corporate team from the Denver Tech Center to DIA. That's why our network includes 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. Call 303-225-4640 to match your headcount to the right vehicle!
Party buses in our fleet come loaded with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating with an open center floor — the right pick when the celebration starts the moment everyone boards. Minibuses feature powerful A/C and plush reclining seats, making them ideal for airport loops or wedding guest shuttles between an Aurora hotel and a Pinery at the Hill ceremony. Full-size charter buses add undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and overhead storage — perfect for long hauls up I-25 to ski country or field trips with gear to pack.
ADA-accessible vehicles are always available; just mention it when you book.

Aurora party bus and charter bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, the date, and how long you need the bus. Here's what to expect: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Weekend rates consistently run higher than weekday equivalents, and peak windows — DIA holiday travel surges, prom season, and Broncos home weekends — push demand up fast.

Aurora groups keep coming back to Colorado Springs Party Bus because we understand what actually makes a Front Range group trip work. That means knowing that E-470 tolls are a real variable on a Southlands-to-DIA run, that the Peña Boulevard approach to the airport is the only way in and there's no workaround when a storm rolls in from the mountains, and that Buckley Space Force Base trips require a completely different coordination approach than a night out on the Aurora Town Center strip.
Since 2011, we've handled thousands of trips across the metro — corporate shuttles for Raytheon's Aurora campus, prom buses out of Rangeview and Eaglecrest High Schools, and fan runs to Empower Field for Broncos games. Our 24/7/365 reservation team means someone is always available to adjust a pickup window or answer a last-minute question, and because we give you exact pricing online in under 30 seconds you're never guessing at a number. We offer a huge variety of vehicles, so you never pay for seats you don't actually need.
When you book with Colorado Springs Party Bus, you get a single point of contact from first quote to final drop-off — and the peace of mind of knowing the transportation side is fully handled.

Colorado Springs Party Bus coordinates group transportation for every occasion across Aurora and the entire Denver metro. From DIA airport shuttles and Buckley Base transfers to wedding shuttles, prom buses, sporting events, concerts, corporate runs, and school field trips — whatever brings your group together in Aurora, there's a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 303-225-4640 to get your group moving today!
Denver International Airport (DEN) (8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO 80249) sits practically in Aurora's backyard — about 7 miles from the intersection of I-70 and E-470 — but "close" and "simple" are two different things when you're moving a large group with luggage. The Jeppesen Terminal funnels everyone through one building regardless of which concourse they're flying from, and the commercial bus pickup process at DIA is specific: once your full group is assembled with bags at baggage claim, your group coordinator calls (303) 342-4076 to bring the bus from its holding lot to Level 5. Don't make that call until every traveler is off the train from Concourse A, B, or C and standing together with their luggage — DIA has one terminal and three separate concourses, and a partial group on Level 5 with bags still at carousel D means everyone waits.
For corporate groups flying in from out of state for meetings at the Raytheon Aurora campus or Buckley Space Force Base, a private Aurora airport shuttle bus gets the whole team from the terminal directly to the address — no rental car wrangling, no splitting into rideshares on Peña Boulevard. Call 303-225-4640 to book your DIA shuttle today!
Aurora's position between Denver's nightlife districts and the E-470 suburbs makes it a natural starting point for bachelorette weekends — the group meets at the hotel, the bus rolls west on I-225 toward LoDo or Colfax, and nobody has to think about who's driving or what the Uber surge looks like at 1 a.m. A 15- to 50-passenger party bus in our fleet comes with a full-length bar, wraparound seating, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound — the pregame is on the road before anyone sets foot in the first bar.
Popular Aurora bachelorette itineraries hit Denver's RiNo Art District for brewery crawls along Larimer Street, then run down to Colfax Avenue for late-night dancing, or combine a spa afternoon at the Gaylord Rockies with an evening circuit through the Denver bar scene. Whatever the itinerary, no one in the group has to navigate I-225 at midnight. Call 303-225-4640 to build your custom bachelorette route!
Aurora has one of the largest Latino communities in Colorado, and quinceañera celebrations here are genuinely grand affairs — multi-venue evenings that move from a Catholic church ceremony to a reception hall to late-night celebrations, with a full court of honor that needs to arrive together and on time. A party bus arrival at Vintage at Willowbrook or another Aurora-area event venue is one of the most photographed moments of the entire night. Pre-load a custom playlist, coordinate a color scheme, and the ride itself becomes part of the memory.
For adult milestone birthdays, a minibus handles a group dinner circuit through Aurora's Havana Street restaurant corridor or a run to Denver's rooftop bar scene without the logistics of coordinating separate cars. And for Sweet 16 celebrations, parents appreciate having one coordinated pickup and drop-off plan for the whole group rather than a carpool arrangement that falls apart by the second stop. Call 303-225-4640 to plan your Aurora birthday party bus rental!
The closest major concert venue to central Aurora is Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204), about 16 miles west via I-225 North to I-70 West — a drive that looks like 25 minutes on Google Maps until you're merging into Colfax-area traffic two hours before a sold-out show. Rideshare pickups after events at Ball Arena stack up on Chopper Circle and Auraria Pkwy, with surge pricing that routinely doubles post-show. An Aurora concert bus rental keeps the group in one vehicle, keeps the energy going with a built-in sound system and LED lighting, and gets everyone out in a single coordinated post-show pickup instead of hunting for a surge-priced ride back east on I-70.
For outdoor amphitheater shows, Red Rocks Amphitheatre (18300 W Alameda Pkwy, Morrison, CO 80465) sits about 40 miles from Aurora's eastern edge — a beautiful drive across the metro that turns into a parking and exit bottleneck on any sold-out night. The Top Circle Lot is the designated charter drop zone at Red Rocks; a private bus skips the lot lottery entirely. Call 303-225-4640 for concert transportation pricing!
Aurora is home to several major employers — Raytheon Intelligence & Space, Lockheed Martin Space, Children's Hospital Colorado on the Anschutz Medical Campus, and UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital among them — and shuttling executive teams or conference attendees between these campuses and DIA or downtown Denver hotels is a daily logistical challenge. The Fitzsimons Life Science District near East Colfax and Peoria is a particularly busy destination: multiple hospital and research campuses packed into an area where surface parking is metered, visitor garages fill early, and the street grid doesn't favor large vehicles.
A corporate charter bus or minibus keeps your team together, on schedule, and productive. Full-size charter buses include WiFi and power outlets so the ride to or from DIA doesn't go to waste. For recurring conference shuttle needs, we can set up a looped route between the Gaylord Rockies Resort at DIA (the area's largest convention hotel) and your Aurora event campus.
Call 303-225-4640 for corporate shuttle rates and multi-day contracts!
The Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center (6700 N Gaylord Rockies Blvd, Aurora, CO 80019) at the DIA interchange is one of the largest convention hotel complexes in the Rocky Mountain region — and its position at Peña Boulevard and E-470 means any group event there is 45+ minutes from downtown Denver hotels by car, on a single approach road that backs up on any busy travel day. For conferences, holiday parties, or corporate team dinners that start at downtown Denver hotels and need to reach the Gaylord, a charter bus makes the logistics clean and the roundtrip predictable.
Aurora's Southlands outdoor shopping and entertainment complex on E-470 at Smoky Hill Road is another popular private event destination — outdoor concerts, community festivals, and private rental spaces draw groups from across the south metro. Instead of dealing with Southlands' surface lot backups during peak weekend events, one bus handles everyone for a flat rate. Call 303-225-4640 to plan your private Aurora event transportation!
Aurora-area high schools — Rangeview, Eaglecrest, Smoky Hill, Overland, and Cherokee Trail among them — hold proms in a tight window from late April through mid-May, and demand for party buses across the south Denver metro spikes sharply in that same window. A typical 6-hour prom rental for 20–30 students, covering school or home pickup, a pre-prom photo stop at Cherry Creek Reservoir, venue drop-off at a downtown Denver hotel ballroom, and an after-party return, costs $1,600–$2,100 all-inclusive when booked 4–6 months early. Wait until February and the same rental runs $600–$1,000 more — or it's gone entirely.
For prom: book by December or expect premium pricing or no availability. Parent committees at Aurora high schools coordinate group bookings through us every year — call 303-225-4640 to lock in your date and discuss multi-school group rates!
Aurora Public Schools and the Cherry Creek School District together cover tens of thousands of students, and field trips to the Aurora History Museum (15051 E Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, CO 80012), the Plains Conservation Center (21901 E Hampden Ave, Aurora, CO 80013), or longer runs to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science are a regular part of the academic calendar. The Plains Conservation Center — 1,100 acres of shortgrass prairie at the edge of the city — has no on-site bus turnaround for large vehicles; the approach off Hampden is narrow and one-directional. Advance coordination is not optional here.
Private charter buses give students climate control, overhead storage for lunchboxes and backpacks, TV monitors and DVD players for the ride, and undercarriage bays for equipment or project materials. For longer educational drives — Rocky Mountain National Park for earth science classes, or the Colorado State Capitol for civics trips — onboard restrooms keep the itinerary on schedule. ADA-accessible buses are always available with advance notice.
Call 303-225-4640 for Aurora school field trip bus rentals!
Broncos games at Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204) draw Aurora fans west on I-70 or I-225 to I-25 every home weekend — a 22-mile drive from central Aurora that becomes a 45-60 minute crawl on game-day Sundays when the Mousetrap interchange at I-70 and I-25 backs up in every direction. Lot C, the early tailgate lot, opens 6 hours before kickoff at $55 per space, fills within the first hour, and is first-come, card-only with no reservations. A party bus from Aurora picks your group up at one address, handles the merge at the Mousetrap while your crew focuses on the pregame, and the undercarriage bays hold the coolers and the tailgate gear.
For Avalanche and Nuggets games at Ball Arena, rideshare pickups after games stack up with post-event surge pricing. An Aurora charter bus rental drops your group at the Chopper Circle entrance and picks everyone up at a pre-agreed spot when the final buzzer sounds — no scramble, no surge. Call 303-225-4640 for game-day party bus pricing!
Wedding venues in and around Aurora span a wide geographic range — from the Pinery at the Hill in Colorado Springs (a 90-minute drive for Aurora guests without coordination) to close-in receptions at the Gaylord Rockies, Aurora's manor homes, and the stretch of event venues along the I-225 corridor. Out-of-town guests flying into DIA — 7 miles from the Gaylord — need a completely different shuttle plan than guests driving in from Denver proper.
A wedding shuttle bus coordinated through Colorado Springs Party Bus gives your guests one clear pickup point, a single arrival time at the ceremony, and a reliable loop back to the hotel after the reception. Nobody in your wedding party navigates E-470 toll ramps in formal wear after a night of celebrating. The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right vehicle for the bridal party on the wedding day itself — premium leather, individual reading lights, USB charging at every seat, and tinted privacy windows.
Because we've been coordinating Front Range wedding transportation since 2011, your timeline stays tight from first pickup to final drop-off. Call 303-225-4640 for a free wedding transportation quote!
Aurora's Havana Street corridor and the Iliff-Parker neighborhood are home to a growing craft beer and dining scene, and Colorado's wine country sits 90 minutes south along I-25 toward Pueblo and the Arkansas River Valley. A party bus or minibus rental keeps the tasting group together from the first stop to the last — no one drawing straws to stay sober, no splitting into rideshares between breweries.
Popular Aurora-area pub crawl circuits hit Dry Dock Brewing Company (15120 E Hampden Ave, Aurora, CO 80014) — one of the largest production breweries in Colorado — then move west to RiNo's Larimer Street taproom strip, and close at a late-night bar on Colfax Avenue. For full wine country day trips to Winery at Holy Cross Abbey (3011 E US-50, Cañon City, CO 81212) or the emerging Pikes Peak wine region, a charter bus with undercarriage storage handles a cooler's worth of bottles on the ride home. Call 303-225-4640 to plan your Aurora winery tour or pub crawl route!

Booked this for a group outing and it exceeded expectations. Roomy, clean, and a smooth ride from start to finish. The booking was clear about the price with no hidden fees. We kept the energy up the whole evening and everyone stayed together. It made coordinating a big group so much simpler. Honestly one of the easiest and most fun nights we've had.

We grabbed this for a special night and the bus made it unforgettable. Great lighting, comfortable seats, and a sound system that kept the party going. Reserving it was painless and they were so helpful with my questions. We took the scenic way around and just enjoyed the ride. Everyone got home safe and happy. Couldn't recommend it more for any celebration.
Ezekiel H.
Rented this for an evening with friends and it was the smartest decision. Everyone stayed together, the music kept us going, and no one had to stress about driving. The bus was spacious and showed up early. The quote was honest and fair split among the group. We had such a good time the ride itself became a highlight. Already looking forward to the next one.
Lucinda V.
Booked this for a celebration and it made the whole thing feel like a real event. The inside was comfortable and decked out with nice lighting. Setting up the reservation was simple and they confirmed quickly. We cruised around Aurora laughing the whole way. It took the hassle out of a big night out and let us just enjoy ourselves. Worth every penny.
Aurora party bus rental prices vary by vehicle size, date, and rental duration. As a current guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Weekend rates run higher than weekday rates, and peak periods — prom season, Broncos home weekends, and DIA holiday travel surges — affect availability and pricing.
The fastest way to get an exact number for your specific date and headcount is to call 303-225-4640 or use our online quote tool — all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds, no obligation required.
At DIA, commercial bus pickup is on Level 5 of the Jeppesen Terminal (the baggage claim and Ground Transportation level). Once your entire group has collected luggage and assembled together — that means everyone off the train from Concourses A, B, and C, bags in hand — your group coordinator calls (303) 342-4076 to bring the bus from its holding lot. The bus pulls to the designated charter zone near doors 512–516 on the east side.
Do not make that call until the group is fully assembled; partial loading at a busy commercial zone causes delays for everyone. The Ground Transportation Information Counter on Level 5 can also help if questions come up on arrival.
The most common mistake Aurora Broncos fans make is underestimating the Mousetrap interchange at I-70 and I-25 on game-day Sundays. The Broncos recommend arriving 2–3 hours before kickoff, Lot C (the premium tailgate lot) fills within the first 30–60 minutes of opening at $55 per space, and I-225 northbound toward I-70 backs up sharply starting about 2 hours before kickoff. A party bus from Aurora picks your group up at one address — apartment complex, hotel, or neighborhood park-and-ride — handles the merge while you tailgate onboard, and drops the group near Gate 1 on the northwest side of the stadium.
Post-game, everyone meets at the pre-agreed pickup spot while the rest of the crowd hunts for rideshares in surge pricing. Call 303-225-4640 for game-day bus pricing from Aurora!
Absolutely. Full-size charter buses in our network include spacious undercarriage storage bays that handle large checked bags, ski equipment, golf bags, and oversize gear without anyone squeezing bags into overhead bins or lap space. For Aurora groups heading to DIA, the undercarriage bays mean the whole group boards at one address — no running separate vehicles to the airport — and everything is loaded and unloaded at the terminal curb.
If your group includes a traveler who needs ADA-accessible features like a wheelchair ramp or securement area, just mention it when you book and we'll match you with the right vehicle from our network. Call 303-225-4640 to arrange your group DIA departure!
Yes. The Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center at the DIA interchange is one of our most common Aurora corporate shuttle destinations. Its location at Peña Boulevard and E-470 — 45+ minutes from downtown Denver hotels during peak travel periods — makes shuttle coordination essential for multi-day conferences where attendees are split between the Gaylord and the downtown Denver hotel corridor.
We set up looped shuttle routes between the two areas, coordinate baggage handling for conference departures, and build in buffer time for the Peña Boulevard approach when weather or travel volume backs up. Call 303-225-4640 to discuss Gaylord Rockies conference shuttle pricing!
We recommend booking at least three to six months in advance to lock in the best vehicle selection and pricing. Aurora-specific demand peaks include prom season (late April through mid-May across five or more high schools simultaneously), Broncos home weekends (September through January), DIA holiday travel surges (Thanksgiving week and the week before Christmas), and any major convention at the Gaylord Rockies. Waiting until the last month typically means paying 20–40% more or finding that the right vehicle size is already gone.
If your date is more than six months out, call now anyway — locking in early costs nothing extra and guarantees your window. Call 303-225-4640 to check availability for your date!
Aurora's 160-square-mile footprint covers everything from the DIA gateway corridor on the north end to Cherry Creek Reservoir State Park in the south, with a dense commercial and entertainment strip along I-225 in between. Here are six of the most popular group destinations in and around Aurora that Colorado Springs Party Bus serves regularly.
The Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center (6700 N Gaylord Rockies Blvd, Aurora, CO 80019) opened in 2018 as one of the largest convention hotel complexes ever built in the Rocky Mountain region — 1,501 guest rooms, 485,000 square feet of meeting space, and an indoor water park under a massive glass atrium. Its position at the Peña Boulevard and E-470 interchange puts it 7 miles from DIA and 45+ minutes from downtown Denver hotels in peak traffic. Holiday events at the Gaylord, including their annual ICE! installation, draw tens of thousands of visitors from across the metro, and surface road access narrows significantly during peak periods.
A charter bus shuttling guests from Denver hotels directly to the Gaylord entrance is the cleanest answer to a very predictable logistical bottleneck.
Address: 6700 N Gaylord Rockies Blvd, Aurora, CO 80019
Phone: (720) 452-6900
Southlands (6155 S Main St, Aurora, CO 80016) is Colorado's largest outdoor lifestyle center — 1.6 million square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment built around a Main Street village concept near the E-470 and Smoky Hill Road interchange in southeast Aurora. The complex hosts a regular outdoor concert series in the summer amphitheater, a weekly farmers market, and community festivals that pull thousands of visitors from Parker, Centennial, and Highlands Ranch in addition to Aurora's own southeast neighborhoods. Surface parking can back up significantly on Friday and Saturday evenings during peak summer events, with vehicles stacking onto Smoky Hill Road.
For group outings — company holiday events, birthday dinners, or a night at the Southlands cinema — a party bus drops the group at the Main Street entrance and takes care of the parking problem entirely.
Address: 6155 S Main St, Aurora, CO 80016
Phone: (720) 870-9830
Cherry Creek State Park (4201 S Parker Rd, Aurora, CO 80014) covers 4,000 acres anchored by the 880-acre Cherry Creek Reservoir — one of the most-visited state parks in Colorado, hosting swimming beaches, sailing, camping, an off-leash dog park, disc golf, and 12 miles of multi-use trails. The park entrance off Parker Road is the only vehicle access point for the main recreation area, and the day-use parking lot fills by 10 a.m. on any warm summer Saturday. Day passes run $10 per vehicle.
For large family reunions, youth group events, or company picnics using the park's group reservation areas, arriving in one bus is the practical choice — one day pass, one coordinated drop-off at the picnic shelter, and no one arriving 45 minutes late because they couldn't find the entrance off Parker Road.
Address: 4201 S Parker Rd, Aurora, CO 80014
Phone: (303) 690-1166
The Aurora History Museum (15051 E Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, CO 80012) tells the story of one of Colorado's fastest-growing cities through permanent and rotating exhibits on Aurora's agricultural roots, World War II military history connected to Buckley Field, and the city's transformation into a diverse metro anchor. Admission is free. The museum sits adjacent to Aurora City Hall with dedicated bus and van parking in the City Hall lot off Alameda Parkway — a straightforward drop-off for school groups.
Programs must be reserved in advance, and school group visits during peak spring field trip season (April–May) book out quickly. The museum's location on the light rail Cultural Line provides an alternate transit approach, but for groups with young students or a lot of gear, a chartered bus to the Alameda Parkway lot keeps the day on schedule.
Address: 15051 E Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, CO 80012
Phone: (303) 739-6660
Buckley Space Force Base (18500 E 6th Ave, Aurora, CO 80011) is one of the largest employers in Aurora, home to the 566th Intelligence Squadron, National Guard units, and several defense contractors with Aurora office campuses nearby. Access onto the base requires credentialed escort and pre-approved vehicle information — groups traveling to events, change-of-command ceremonies, or base open-house days must have vehicle information submitted in advance. A charter bus simplifies that to one vehicle manifest rather than a dozen separate car registrations.
For contractors commuting from Denver Tech Center or downtown Denver hotels to Aurora-area defense campuses, a dedicated shuttle running US-6 or I-225 is a practical daily solution. Call 303-225-4640 to discuss Buckley-area shuttle coordination.
Address: 18500 E 6th Ave, Aurora, CO 80011
Phone: (720) 847-9011
Dry Dock Brewing Company (15120 E Hampden Ave, Aurora, CO 80014) is one of the most decorated craft breweries in Colorado, with over 150 national and international awards across its production and taproom operations. The South Dock location on Hampden Avenue is the main taproom and production facility; the North Dock taproom (2801 Tower Rd, Aurora, CO 80011) sits just 3 miles from DIA, making it a natural first or last stop for out-of-town groups arriving or departing through Denver. The taproom space accommodates large groups with advance reservation, and the outdoor patio area handles overflow on summer weekends.
For a pub crawl that starts at Dry Dock, moves to a second Aurora brewery, and finishes with dinner in the Havana Street corridor, a party bus keeps the group together across every stop — no carpooling gaps between rounds.
