Frequently Asked Questions

Your private chauffeur and vehicle are dedicated to your group during your booked service, so you won’t have to split your party between multiple vehicles, coordinate several drivers, deal with surge pricing or repeatedly arrange transportation throughout your weekend.Planning adventures outside of Scottsdale? Rideshare availability can be limited or unreliable at more remote destinations such as Lake Pleasant and ATV/UTV adventure locations, especially when trying to find transportation for a larger group. With Party Tripper, your chauffeur takes you there and is there to bring you back, so you’re not left searching for a ride after your activity.Your transportation is planned around your itinerary, so your group can relax and enjoy the weekend knowing the ride is already handled.

Your accommodations must generally be located within approximately 20 minutes of Old Town Scottsdale. If you're unsure whether your property is within our service area, contact us before booking.

Yes. To ensure safe, reliable service, the following travel and scheduling limitations apply:Arizona travel only: Party Tripper does not provide transportation outside the state of Arizona, including trips to Las Vegas, California, or Mexico. We no longer provide transportation to Grand Canyon or Page. Service hours: Transportation is available between 7:00 AM and 2:15 AM. We do not operate between 2:15 AM and 7:00 AM. Bars in AZ close at 2 AM.Early-morning airport transportation: For airport transportation between 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM with three or fewer passengers, we may arrange for your group to use Uber at Party Tripper's expense. This helps preserve your chauffeur's available driving hours for the primary transportation needs of your group later in the day. Party Tripper covers up to the cost of an UberX fare. Please contact us for additional details.Extreme-heat hiking transportation: For the safety of our guests, we do not provide transportation to hiking trails when the forecasted daily high is 100°F or higher. The exception is Hole-in-the-Rock at Papago Park.

No. Party Tripper uses all-in pricing, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay. There are no additional service fees, booking fees, or required gratuities added to your quoted price.Additional charges only apply if you choose to add services to your reservation, such as airport transportation, a Sedona trip, additional service days, or other transportation outside the services included in your original booking. Any optional additions and their pricing will be clearly communicated before being added to your reservation.Golf Excursions: An additional $100 per day may apply to golf transportation if an additional vehicle is needed to transport your group's golf clubs. Our passenger vans have limited cargo space when accommodating larger groups, so a separate vehicle may be required for golf bags and equipment. This fee only applies when an additional vehicle is necessary. Please contact a Party Tripper representative for more information regarding your group's specific transportation needs.

Yes! Party Tripper can provide airport transportation for your group. Please keep the following in mind when planning your arrival and departure:Airport pickups are provided in SUVs and take place in designated airport pickup zones.Your entire group does not need to arrive at the same time. Pickups are coordinated and grouped based on flight arrival times whenever possible.Airport transportation is included when it falls on one of your booked service days. For example, if you book Thursday, Friday and Saturday service and arrive on Thursday, your airport pickup is included. If you depart on Sunday, your Sunday airport transportation is not included in your three-day package and can be added separately.Airport transportation outside of your booked service days is available for an additional charge. Pricing depends on your group's transportation needs, including the number of passengers and the number of pickups or drop-offs required.Airport-only transportation is priced separately and is not discounted based on the number of trips needed.Detailed pickup instructions will be provided before your trip. The week of your reservation, a Party Tripper representative will contact your group by text or email with airport pickup instructions and any additional details needed for your arrivals.

There is no minimum party size, and our standard private transportation service can accommodate groups of up to 14 passengers.Traveling with more than 14 guests? We may still be able to accommodate your group! Larger parties typically require multiple vehicles and drivers and are subject to availability. Because this generally requires duplicating the transportation service provided, larger groups should anticipate pricing to be approximately double the standard package rate. Final pricing will depend on your group size and the number and type of vehicles required.Because your transportation is privately reserved for your group, pricing is based on the service provided rather than the number of passengers. Rates therefore remain the same for smaller groups.If your party has more than 14 guests, please contact a Party Tripper representative with your group size, trip dates and transportation needs so we can determine availability and provide an exact quote.

Yes! Select destinations and excursions outside of Scottsdale can be included as part of your Party Tripper experience.Lake Pleasant, Saguaro Lake and ATV/UTV excursions are included with your Weekend Chauffeur Service at no additional charge. Transportation to these destinations is only available as part of a Weekend Chauffeur Service reservation and is not offered as a standalone transportation service.Sedona is available as an optional add-on for an additional charge. Because Sedona requires extended travel time and is subject to driver-hour limitations, specific departure and return times will apply.Page, Arizona and the Grand Canyon are not within our current service area, and Party Tripper does not provide transportation to these destinations.If you're planning an activity outside of Scottsdale and aren't sure whether transportation is available, please contact a Party Tripper representative before finalizing your itinerary.

Personal belongings may not be left or stored in Party Tripper vehicles between scheduled transportation.Please take all purses, clothing, cups, personal items and other belongings with you each time you exit the vehicle. Party Tripper cannot guarantee that the same vehicle will be available throughout every portion of your reservation and cannot be responsible for items left behind.Luggage StorageParty Tripper vehicles are designed to transport your group and have limited cargo capacity when accommodating passengers. We are unable to store or hold luggage before Airbnb/hotel check-in or after check-out.If your flight arrives before you can access your accommodations, or your departure is significantly later than check-out, please arrange luggage storage in advance through your hotel, Airbnb host or a local luggage-storage provider below.Please plan accordingly when scheduling your arrival and departure transportation, as Party Tripper cannot retain luggage or personal belongings on your group's behalf.

Yes! Grocery stops are included with your Weekend Chauffeur Service. Grocery trips are limited to approximately 45 minutes and can include popular stores such as Fry's, Safeway, Albertsons, Bashas' and Costco.To save valuable time during your trip, we highly recommend placing a grocery pickup order in advance. Many local grocery stores offer online ordering and curbside pickup, allowing your group to place the order before arriving in Scottsdale and schedule pickup once you're here.Arizona grocery stores and many major retailers also sell beer, wine and spirits, so a separate liquor-store stop is generally unnecessary.A Party Tripper Tip: Buy Less Than You Think You NeedOne of the most common mistakes groups make is dramatically overbuying groceries for a short weekend. Before shopping, consider how many meals you'll actually eat at your Airbnb versus restaurants, brunches and other activities already on your itinerary.A good rule of thumb is to start with about half of what you initially think you'll need. It's much easier to make another quick stop than to end the weekend with an Airbnb full of unused groceries.And yes, we've seen it before: you probably don't need 60 eggs for the weekend. 😉For Costco trips, we strongly recommend limiting bulk purchases, especially perishable foods. Meal planning before your trip can help prevent unnecessary purchases and food waste.What happens to leftover food?If your group has leftover groceries at the end of your trip, Party Tripper may accept unopened, nonperishable food items only when space is available.We do not accept leftover alcohol, opened food, refrigerated items or partially used groceries.If you would like us to take eligible unopened food items, please contact a Party Tripper representative the evening before your departure so we can determine whether space is available and coordinate accordingly.Party Tripper cannot guarantee that we will have space to accept leftover groceries, so groups should make alternative arrangements for any items they are unable to take with them.

No! You can secure your transportation before your itinerary is finalized. We'll collect your transportation details and itinerary closer to your trip.

Yes! You may make changes to your itinerary up until it is finalized, which must be completed before the start of your chauffeur service.Once your itinerary has been finalized, a $100 change fee per one-way trip applies to any additions or changes to scheduled destinations.For example, adding a new destination that requires transportation to and from that location would result in a $200 round-trip change fee.We recommend finalizing all restaurants, activities, nightlife and other transportation needs before your service begins to avoid additional fees.

Vehicles are assigned based on group size and availability and may include a 12–15 passenger van and/or SUVs. Specific vehicle models are not guaranteed unless explicitly stated in your reservation.
