Things to Know Before You Book a Trolley Bus Rental for a Group
Most trolley listings on BusRates are rubber-tired buses designed to look and feel like old-style streetcars or trams. While we refer to them as trolleys, they're actually classified as "trolley-replica buses" to differentiate them from the iconic cable cars of San Francisco.
Trolley group rentals are ideal for special occasions, like parties, local trips or sightseeing tours. They're not designed for longer trips because they forgo many of the modern amenities you'd find in other motorcoach options.
If you're planning to rent a trolley for a group outing, consider these factors:
Ideal use: Super fun for local group transportation, weddings and wedding photographyBest weather for a trolley: Great to use in good weatherSeating capacity: Available in a range of passenger configurations but usually accommodates 20-30 passengers
