Drinking on board: passengers 21 and over can drink in the vehicle. Arizona's open-container law exempts passengers in a vehicle for hire such as a party bus or limousine (A.R.S. § 4-251). BYOB, no underage drinking, and the driver never drinks. If anyone on board is under 21, including a birthday guest who is still a few hours short, there is no alcohol on board at all. Read the full explainer.
Fraternity and Sorority Formals
Coordinated pickup: one location for everyone (chapter house or a campus lot), matching vehicles, time for photos before departure.
Popular destinations: Scottsdale resorts, downtown Phoenix venues, Sedona for overnight formals.
