SoCal Limousine Rentals

What a great experience! We booked the party bus for our daughter and her friends to go to their high school winter dance. They are all seniors so this was a big deal to them. Dennis arrived a little early so there was plenty of time for organization and boarding. The bus was spotless and visually very cool; he made sure we were able to contact each other since we had a group of underage riders. The kids were very responsive to him during the pre-​drive meeting. Dennis got them started with their favorite music and away they went, beaming. The return was right on schedule. It was great, not to worry about kids driving late on prom night. This company is clean, current, polite and very organized. I would highly recommend them!

Brian was very responsive to my emails and booking was very easy; it was also very affordable. We booked a 10 person limo. Our driver, Marty, showed up 15 minutes early, which was very much appreciated. Thank you for helping make my bridal shower a memorable one!

I booked a 20 person party bus to go bar hopping on November 6^th and I was thoroughly pleased with everything about booking through this party bus company. Brian was very helpful and informative while talking to him on the phone, and made the reservation very easy with no pressure.
Our driver Don was so friendly and made sure everyone on our 20 person party bus was having a good time. Don arrived early to go over the contract and get the addresses and after we loaded the bus with our booze and people, we were on our way! We stopped at two bars, Don got us to both in a very timely manner, ensuring we were having fun the entire time. At the end of the night we still had a little time with the bus so Don took a longer route to make sure we got our full 5 hours with the bus.
I would book with this company again and throughly recommend them to anyone looking for a party bus.

Please excuse the length of this.
This was very confusing for me because the service I received while booking the party bus was awesome. I was planning super early and asking several questions. This was my first bus.
It was a very fun experience to be with my friends and have a DD.
They supplied ice and water and the driver let us know he was quick to stop for bathroom or if anyone felt sick and might puke!
My biggest complaint was the organization of it. I felt as though we should have all gotten seated and then the driver, Don, should have gone through everything with us. Rules, advice, locations of things et,. However, after drinking at the house and trying to load the bus up– we were each individually told things and then felt stressed about making sure we remembered to tell each other. There were only seven of us but it like going on an airplane and having to give a condensed version of the topics brushed upon to your peers while drunk.
The main thing I think that almost ruined it for me was when I sent someone to ask about vaping. They told me, I told my friend and we got on the bus. Part of the way into it my husband started to inhale his vape. Not even a full breath. He almost got tackled by me and my friends. We had forgotten to tell him. The driver, Don, was very upset and gave a very long broken up speech about how he already told us and we should have passed it on and started to say something about two chances or three chances or something before realizing he never gave us that speech either. My husband went to the front of the bus and man to man apologized stating he was sorry and it would never happen again. He was told that sorrys meant nothing to him, repeatedly.
That is not who my husband is, someone who is going to ‘sneak’ vape on a small bus. He felt so bad and tried to figure out how to genuinely apologize. I also tried to talk to the gentleman and take blame that I didn’t pass it on to everyone once I heard. Though now looking back I believe he needs to give the speech we apparently missed. He talked to me and my husband like it was our third strike. I was caught off guard seeing my husband so upset and this guy waving him off and acting as if we were liars.
Didn’t make my birthday feel very special to have our character questioned due to lack of preparation on the introduction part.
Other then that, the driver seemed like a cool guy and treated us with respect other then that but it left a very bad taste in my mouth.
I guess all that I ask is that it is taken into consideration that some people have never ridden one before, saved up and spent their whole paycheck on them and would like the full guidelines and a little more respect.

I found them on Unilocal and could ask for a better deal for the amount of hours I needed. The bus was super early and did not have any issues all night! We took the bus from HP to Universal and had a blast! Would definitely recommend!

This was my first time renting a party bus & let me just say, everything went so smoothly & my friends & I had such a great time!
I researched extensively almost every other Party Bus rental company I could find on Unilocal & reached out to most of them for quotes & information. I got very many quotes, but Brian worked with me & gave me an unbelievable quote! I’d be stupid to say no.
He was so easy to work with & set it all up for me via phone, text & e-​mail. We had 19 crazy young adults in the 20 person bus & it worked out perfectly. I brought my own aux cord & the system was bumping. They provide water & ice. I spoke to Brian to let him know that we were all going to go crazy for my birthday & if the driver would be okay with us all & he assured me that they do this all the time, & he was right. The bus driver picked us all up from our hotel on time & our driver was extremely chill and easy going. Gave him the address to a place out in Newport Beach & we went along our way. No hassle or anything.
Bus was clean, service was great, and overall experience was unforgettable.
Probably gonna do a party bus for my birthday every year & for any other organized gathering with my friends. Thanks again Brian for working with me in a great professional manner. I’m definitely going to be referring my friends & family to SoCal Limo rentals!
Can’t wait until next year!

I recently booked 5 buses through SoCal Limousine rentals running shuttles back and forth between 2 locations and they did an incredible job.
Transporting 1000 people to and from a venue is stressful for drivers their team handled it perfectly. I was able to stay in contact with their head bus driver throughout the night and he was courteous and professional.
I have booked a lot of bus companies over the years planning events and I will continue to use SoCal Limousine.

I must admit that it was my first time booking a party-​bus and after reading all of the negative reviews below, I was very skeptical to go with this company. However, one thing that they had in its favor, was that it was able to beat ALL other competitor’s pricing. After trading a few text messages between Brian (owner) and giving him a phone call, you can clearly acknowledge his level of professionalism/​concern.
Brian explained to me that it is a family owned business, therefore he handles his clients very seriously and hopes for repeat business. The 1-​star reviews reflected in the other reviews are valid, mistakes do happen that are clearly out of Brian’s control, as for every business. However, he does everything in his power to resolve the issue, as clearly stated to me over the phone.
SoCal Limousine Rentals offered us a free upgrade to a larger bus because the party who booked the larger bus cancelled on the day of their event. Instead of a 26 – 30 people bus, we kindly received a 36 – 40 bus without additional charges. The driver arrived 15 minutes prior to the time we had scheduled with them and dropped us off 30 minutes later than our arranged time because we had some difficulties getting everyone back on the bus due to our large group.
The party bus was very nice and clean, equipped with a full speaker system that you can connect your devices to, assuming it has an auxiliary port. The rental comes with ice, bottled-​water and red cups. We booked the party bus a day before our event and was very surprised that everything went extremely smoothly. I would HIGHLY recommend booking in the future!

My first time renting a Party a Bus and I was so lucky to find a business in my home town. I love long beach.
Brian was awesome!!! I found them on Unilocal and text him in the early AM he got back to me in about half an hour and we were booked in no time. He did have «secert «available but he gave me the top of the line 20 passenger corprate bus. Now that’s the grand daddy of them all and we were the lucky group to rental his newest addition. Brand New bus and we got to break it in. We were so lucky to have Dennis as our driver. Dennis Rocks. We had so much fun and I’ll be sure to tell all my friends and family. AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

DO NOT BOOK WITH SOCAL.
I was booking an event for my company to go to Los Angeles for my convention and called around to a few different company’s to get a good price. Spoke to Mary and she said it was only going to be $ 500 (which was cheap for what I was asking for) I told her to book my company on that day and asked her if she could send me an invoice so I could pay the deposit to hold my spot. She texted me her email address which I found very unprofessional– so I could email her the specifications. She said she was going to send me the invoice that day and never did…
I emailed her back after the weekend and she emailed me back saying she was super busy and was going to send it by the end of the day– she never did… I emailed her once again to give her one last chance and never heard back. I finally called today to see what was going on and spoke to Brian who said he was the manager. I told him the situation and he said Mary was just filling in for the 2 weeks he was on vacation and should never have given me that price. He didn’t honor the price she gave me and wanted to charge me $ 850. He was nice but had no sympathy.
Needless to say I went with another company– SoCal should not let people stand in for them if they cannot give a correct price. My event is only 2 weeks away and I was very stressed having to find another company.
They are irresponsible and clearly do not care.

Company is Horrible — and the owner is nasty and rude. Long story short driver was late to pick us up — and they didn’t even call to let me know, I had to call them. Brian said that the car they were going to send was over heating… so he had to send another. The driver showed up in an old beat-​up limo. The driver which was Brian’s friend says that he typically does not drive limos and was just helping out his friend. It sure showed, he argued with the ladies in my party constantly, he didn’t know where the CD player was we spent 20 minutes looking for that, he also didn’t open not 1 door for us all night. In fact after leaving one of our locations he almost drove off while 2 of the ladies were putting things in the trunk. They were almost injured (I have this on tape). We tried calling Brian during the night but he didn’t answer — so then the driver called a lady named Mary (who he said was Brian’s girl) she offered us an extra hour for our troubles. Limo dropped us off at our cars and he didn’t open the door at all just unlocked them and popped the trunk — he didn’t get out at all. after all the ladies got out of the car he drove off! so was I supposed to chase him to give him a tip?
Brain emails me and says that he is charging me for the extra hour AND the drivers tip — I told him that Mary offered us the hour and he said he didn’t believe me and that she shouldn’t have done that, wtf? We then began to exchange emails and he was rude, nasty and defensive — I cannot believe he is running a business. just look through the negative comments on Unilocal — you can see his demeanor and tone. Its really sad that things ended this way — I did see the negative comments on Unilocal but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt considering they were in Long Beach and I wanted to support a local biz. But Brian has been unprofessional.
I will see them in court — especially with the video I have… DO NOT use this company, there is better our there with better customer service for sure! I will be sure to tell everyone I know about this experience.

I don’t even know where to start, dealing with this company was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I was planning my sisters Bachelorette/​Bachelor party for a few months, and I was looking around for a good deal on a party bus when I came across this company. Originally Brian was quite nice and helpful, but after telling him I wasn’t sure about the times I needed because I had to make reservations at the place the party bus was taking us, he told me don’t worry about it we can change the time later which we ended up being able to; but he did try to convince me to stick with the original time or change it by only 30mins instead of an hour. Looking back on it now, I believe that our bus might have been doubled booked for that night.
long store short… our party of 25 people got stranded in Anaheim for over 2 hours passed our pick up time. our bus driver left with our alcohol and other belongings on it and never came back. never answered his cell phone either. and when we did get a hold of people, they all had a different reason why the bus was gone. they did finally send another driver to take us home but by that time we were all cold and mad. we paid for 6hours upfront and they ruined that whole experience for my sister and her now husband, which they will never get to redo that night again. to top it all off Brian didnt even give us back our money or stuff. we all paid for 6 hours and he broke the contracted. DO NOT BOOK THEM!!!
i would give them a 0 if i could, the sad part is that if they would have handled it better i would have gave them a better review for fixing the problem, but they didn’t!

Had a great time bus We booked the 40 passenger bus for our prom and Brian the owner was very flexible and had the best price I could find. On the day of our even the bus showed up 10 min early and we had the best driver you could ask for Clarance I believe his name was I apologize if I have that wrong however he was very accommodating an made our experience as pleasurable as possible. The only con about this bus is the speaker system is a little older so it wasn’t the most quality sound but it very well did the job I will defiantly use this company again

I have three words for this company unprofessional, superficial, and ignorant.
I found this company searching the internet, it looked like a decent party bus company. But, I should have done my research and checked them out on Unilocal first (they only have one review, well two now). I emailed the company and gave them the day, time, and club I wanted, to celebrate my birthday at. I received an email stating «You will have to add us on Facebook, to see if I can get you into Cabana club.”-Brian I was like what? I want to rent a party bus, and have a good time. Why do I have to let a party bus company see a picture of me before they can let me know whether or not I can rent their bus? Sounds superficial to me. But, I did add them «limited profile» though, and Brian e-​mailed me back saying «By the way! Cabana is closed.» I’m sorry, but that was one of the most unprofessional, superficial, and ignorant moves of a company that I have contact with. I probably didn’t fit their look, didn’t see many African Americans in the club, I truly don’t know. But, what I do know is I would not recommend this company to anybody, let alone the Cabana Club! They are rude!

This was the best birthday present I have ever given to anyone. SoCal Limo was on time and early, the driver was amazing. The party bus made the night and I couldn’t be happier to have used them.
I found them through word of mouth. Brian made the purchase extremely smooth. It was the biggest surprise for my friend he had ever had.
The Service:
Marty our bus driver was superb, he was funny, understanding and professional. We all offered to buy him a drink and he refused over and over and over again, thank you Marty for ignoring our belligerent attempts to get you drunk, we all appreciate it. Marty was also discreet in handling the money portion.
Donny was the bus manager, he distributed alcohol, made sure everyone was taken care of. Donny definitely went above and beyond taking care of and making sure our friend didn’t throw up on himself. he was courteous, kind and empathetic to a bunch of drunks!!!
They go big here and then they’ll take you home. You guys are amazing and thank you for the complete professional service.
****Side Note: Jeanice: It was definitely your loss, this place went above and beyond and made the best birthday surprise a 38yo who looks 24 could have ever wanted or had!!!
THANK YOU BRIAN, MARTY & DONNY!
