Air-Conditioning
- Despite our best efforts to accommodate to each person’s requests to ensure the best service from our company, The Company do have some vehicles that are both air-conditioned and not airconditioned, therefore we cannot guarantee you will receive an airconditioned bus.
- 90% of the 130 party buses operating across all companies in Perth are, in fact, un air conditioned.
- To create airflow throughout these un airconditioned buses, the company will ensure that windows and roof hatches are able to be opened.
- Please Understand there is no cost difference between an air-conditioned bus and a non-air-conditioned bus.
- We unfortunately cannot control the weather during the Perth summer periods and despite our best attempts our air-conditioning will have little impact in circulating cool air on a bus on 35+ degree days with large groups of people dancing. As buses were Route buses in a previous life, the air conditioning system is only designed to cool the cabin 5-10 degrees less than outside temperature, meaning that in the swan valley it can get up to 40 Degrees in the peak of summer meaning the cabin could still be 30 – 35 degrees inside the vehicle.
- As the weather is out of the companies control, we are unable to offer any type of compensation if the temperature is deemed too hot on the vehicle, as per the reasons stated.
- We highly recommend for all wine tour and day-time pub crawls that the organiser bring an iced esky onboard stocked with sealed plastic water bottles for your guests. If you cannot bring an esky onboard, we recommend encouraging each guest to have a water bottle when boarding with them.
