The SoBe Shuttles

After many many and I mean Many calls to different party bus services or rentals to different businesses, I’ve found Sobe Shuttles on Unilocal.
I’ve never hired or even rode in a party bus before. But being the good eldest sibling that I am, I decided to get a party bus for my brother’s 21^st birthday so it would be… EPIC.
I called and left a message on the Sobe number. A gentleman by the name of Greg got back to me right away and he was really nice.
I inquired on the different prices of the party bus. The prices for chartering the bus per hour versus a simple pick up and drop off. A small bus versus a big bus. Greg was very knowledgeable in offering choices and negotiable. I am a big fan!
A lot of the previous businesses I called were extremely RUDE and non negotiable. it was very refreshing to finally talk to someone friendly and reasonable!
I inquired months ahead of time. If you want to lock in the spot, you gotta pay full or at least put half of the payment ahead of time.
Greg was very helpful every step of the way from the day I inquired to the day even after the event. He always responded to my calls and texts.
It was a huge plus to have free entry and early entry to clubs like America’s backyard and Tootsie’s because we used Sobe Shuttles. It certainly helped cut down the expense!!!
But really, the service even we got from the manager of the night Angel and our driver, was AWESOME! I really couldn’t have asked for a better pair to cater to our event. They were very friendly and provided whatever we wanted and needed, even bathroom breaks along the way lol
So the facts are we ended up chartering the bus for 6 hours with a driver to cater you. Personally, I think it’s a better deal that way and it’s safer for everyone especially if people got really drunk.
We had a ton of fun, too much fun in fact that most people drank and partied way too hard early on in the bus. By the time we got to America’s backyard, literally in like 15 min, we got kicked out because some of people in our party was too drunk LOL! No offense taken. It happens.
While some were waiting to recover, we have called the bus to pick us up. Now bear in my mind that in downtown ft Lauderdale, it gets pretty crowded and some streets are blocked so it took a while for the bus to get there.
But once we got on the bus, we headed to tootsies and we got in flawlessly. Some people were too passed out they couldn’t even make it to the strip club lol.
After about 2 hours or so, we decided to head home and it was a peaceful ride back home.
I forgot to add they allowed us to bring our own drinks on the bus!!! And yes you could leave your stuff in the bus if you’d like when you’re out and about.
I really had a great time!
And so did everyone else. They still talk about the party till this day and now apparently almost everyone wants to go hard and rent a party bus for whatever special occasion they will have.
Thank you for giving us a great experience Sobe. I highly recommend people should start using a party bus as an option more for many good reasons. It’s not so bad to spend when you get people to pitch in, it’s safer, bigger and you can figure out more easily who is missing or not. Plus you can have fun yourself if you’re the head organizer because there already is a driver. So no worries!
I highly recommend this party bus service and I will use them again in the future!

I have dealt with SOBE shuttles on several different occasions; whether it was an event that I was co-​sponsoring or just using their efficient shuttles to make trips from Fort Lauderdale to Miami… they have consistently proven to be punctual, friendly, and in general have a high level of positive energy which I think anyone can truly appreciate. I will continue working with them and highly recommend their services to everyone, thanks and keep it up guys!

Myself and 15 friends arranged a trip to the Marlins home opener on relatively short notice to Sobe Rental… Greg completely took care of us. Very professional and personable. Suffice to say they were very flexible with pickups (multiple) and the ride was a blast. Clean vehicle and an amazing driver. It would have been full stars except a small a/​c issue. Otherwise, absolutely a tremendous experience and will use the service again. Thanks Greg and crew!

It’s a shame to see only one review on this service. They always say someone is quick to write about a bad experience than good. This shuttle has been around for about year now and I know for a fact has undergone many changes. I live in Fort Lauderdale and at one point in time was frequenting Miami up to 3x a week for events/​parties/​work. Things changed (ya know those little «life» things) that I couldn’t go enjoy myself as much as I used to. This weekend was Art Basel… my FAVORITE time of the year in Miami!!! I could not miss out on all the haps! It had been a long time since I visited the magic city. I knew there’d be lots of boozing involved (meaning lots of drunk drivers), so I wondered what’s the better, safe, worry-​free way to fully enjoy the night out on the town: The SoBe Shuttle? Oh my gosh was I pleasantly surprised! After much thought about how to go out for the night, if I really wanted to and blah blah, I decided I’d give this service a shot. When I called to find out what the schedule was, Greg was super helpful as well as accommodating. I was running just a couple minutes late, but they were so awesome and waited for me. Even with my tardiness, it turned out the bus departed from the pick up spot near downtown Fort Lauderdale at a helluva good time. Not bad~ What made for an even better experience was that everyone on the bus was a lot of fun!!! We were all given Greg’s number as well as the driver, Guy’s. Folks had some different agendas, but we all came to agreement as to times we wanted to be picked up from where ever we wound up. I believe it was of utmost importance that we were all on the same page. At the end of the night, I had coordinated with other people on the bus to be picked up at Treehouse on South Beach. The shuttle picked us up ON TIME and arrived back to Fort Lauderdale ON TIME. I am pretty sure the other people on the bus would agree that this service is superb! Not only will I use this service again, but will also URGE all my friends to jump on the SoBe Shuttle, especially if they’re planing a wild night out Miami-​style :) In the long run it’s worth it! Thank you SoBe Shuttles for getting us all home safe!

Let me save you the inconvenience of evening going through the trouble of using this service. I wish I could rate negative stars because I would. I arranged a girls’ night out for a friend who was coming out of town. Discovered SOBE shuttle by way of groupon or travelzoo. Can’t remember at this point. Long story short, the service is very disorganized. The contact person was quick to charge my credit card for the full amount before the actual date of service and followed up on the day of service but once we were picked up at Scarlett’s in Hallandale for our ride to SOBE, I recieved numerous phone calls from NY phone numbers with changes to our Pickup time. I felt like I was part of a drug deal about to go down. :(Our time to be picked up was 3am and the driver didn’t show up until almost 5am! They left 4 females stranded on Lincoln Road. Not even the homeless people were out on the street. It was so awful. I was extremely embarrassed since I arranged this. We wound up paying $ 50 for a cab because we couldn’t bare sitting outside in the cold windy weather. I spoke with Joel who claims to be one of the owners. He promised he would refund the full amount and provide a voucher for me to use the service again (as if!) I did take a few weeks to get back to him with my credit card info (which he should have) and when I did I was unable to get a hold of him. I have emailed, texted and left several voice messages.
MY ADVICE: TAKE A CAB OR LIMO RIDE. not worth the hassle of this old bus service.
