If your San Antonio group is 10 to 14 people, a small party bus is usually a Sprinter-style limo van (about $85–$160 per hour Sunday–Thursday, 3-hour minimum) or a 15-seat mini party bus (about $115–$220 per hour). Both keep the group in one vehicle with music and room to move, and both are easier to park at River Walk hotels, Pearl restaurants and Hill Country tasting rooms than a full-size bus.
