Pick the Vehicle by Headcount, Then Let Somebody Else Find Lot 6
The fastest way to a Cowboys game with a group is one chauffeured vehicle sized to the headcount. Six or fewer take an Escalade, up to 13 take a Sprinter, and 20 to 36 take a party bus. Published Dallas rates run about $120 an hour for an SUV to $300 an hour for a party bus.
| Group size | Vehicle | Seats up to | Published Dallas rate, per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 to 6 | Luxury SUV (Cadillac Escalade) | 6 | $120 to $160 |
| 7 to 13 | Sprinter Van | 13 | $150 to $200 |
| 8 to 12, with a bar | Sprinter Limousine | 12 | Quoted per trip |
| 14 to 23 | Mini Bus | 23 | Quoted per trip |
| 20 to 36 | Party Bus | 36 | $200 to $300 |
| 37 to 56 | Motor Coach | 56 | Quoted per trip |
Rates are the 2026 Dallas ranges a local operator publishes, not a Dallas VIP quote. Most rentals carry a minimum number of hours, and gratuity is either built in or listed, so read the written quote.
What a Party Bus to AT&T Stadium Actually Costs per Person
A game day is not a one-hour ride. Count from pickup through the tailgate, the game and the drive home, and a noon kickoff easily runs seven hours door to door. The math, using the middle of each published range and a seven-hour day:
| Vehicle, 7 hours | Total at mid-range rate | 10 people | 20 people | 30 people |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Escalade at $140 | $980 | Over capacity | Over capacity | Over capacity |
| Sprinter Van at $175 | $1,225 | $123 | Over capacity | Over capacity |
| Party Bus at $250 | $1,750 | $175 | $88 | $58 |
The lesson hides in the last row: a full party bus costs less per head than a half-full Sprinter, and nobody drew the short straw to drive.

Where Limos and Buses Drop Off at AT&T Stadium
The stadium sorts vehicles by size, and getting it wrong means a long walk in a jersey that was not built for walking.
- Limousines and SUVs drop passengers in Lot 1 and Lot 6. Limo parking runs along Randol Mill Road and Cowboys Way, and the driver needs a limousine parking pass.
- Buses park in a portion of Lot 15 with a bus parking pass. A portion of Lot 14 is set aside for RVs and oversized vehicles.
- After the game, the one passenger pickup zone sits at the Miller Lite House entrance by North Collins Street and Cowboys Way. The stadium warns post-game traffic can block the Lot 1 and Lot 6 zones, which is why a driver who knows the lots beats a rideshare surge.

Drinks on Board, Coolers and Other House Rules
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can passengers drink on the bus? | Yes. Texas law exempts the passenger area of a bus or limousine used for hire from the open-container rule |
| Can the driver drink? | Never |
| Can drinks go into the stadium? | No. Bringing alcohol inside violates the stadium's code of conduct |
| Can the bus tailgate? | Buses park in their own section of Lot 15; tailgating follows the stadium's lot rules |
Book the Ride With the Seats
Transportation is half the game day, so we quote it alongside the tickets, a Cowboys suite or an ultimate tailgate, on one request. Pick your date from the 2026 home schedule, then send the game, the headcount and the pickup address. You bring the voices for the fourth quarter; we bring the bus.
