Night Cruiser

Absolute scammers. She hardly gets back to you and then after trying to actually confirm she would turn up to my wedding with no response. I cancelled as I didn’t want someone not showing for it (this was two weeks before the date so ample notice) and since hasn’t responded to any calls or emails and hasn’t even responded about giving my deposit back. I promise you’ll regret it if you book with them.
The only reason I would give this company 1 star is because they turned up... I organised a 40th birthday party for my wife to travel around the wineries in VIC and their organisation was terrible!!! Never responded to calls to discuss issues, never provided accurate quote for job.... I communicated with someone named Annette by email a few times but she was terrible at communicating. I will NEVER use this company again....
Lady miss communicated with me about price tried to charge me more on the day. And then tells me its a standard bus not a party bus. And was rude and ignoring our questions and wouldnt even let us have the music loud. Wasnt even a proper bus just a normal front facing van, total waste of do not recommend

Great service and experience on this party bus! Was so much fun for my sisters hens party. The driver and team were very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely use again!
Awesome experience with night cruiser. Ashley was a great communicator and kept me informed throughout the process. Our driver was great too - booked for my sisters hens and would use again!
Fantastic Experience with Night Cruiser! – I had a fantastic experience with Night Cruiser! Booking was a breeze, and they were very accommodating when I needed to adjust the pickup time and location. The night itself was wonderful, thanks in large part to our amazing driver, who really enhanced the group atmosphere. This is my second time using Night Cruiser, and it was just as great as the first!
Negative reviews
Very disappointing – We had a terrible experience with nightcruisers. They miss lead us to belive we had booked a mercades bud for our occasion then 9 days out from our event (after their 14 day $0 refund policy) we were shown the vehicle were actually getting which was a des's mini bus that cost us close to $2k. They were completely unapologetic and unhelpful in… Read more
rectifying the issue since they already had our money and refused any sort of refund. It was so disappointing. They've been reported to the ACCC. Wouldn't recommend going through them at all. Their website is very misleading. Thankfully the third party were lovely and made our event great. Their 2.5 rating is very evident.
The most terrible experience of my life, please DO NOT go through this company – The most worst experience of my life, i hired this bus for my 50th birthday i paid my bond and i paid for the bus natalie asked me for my address 3 times i have proof of everything. on the night the bus was meant to come at 6.15pm to pick us up as i had a restarant booked at 7pm so i get this call saying we have arrived so i tell my guest to go at… Read more
front to see there is no bus i rang them and said you are not in my street he goes sorry we are at wrong address we will be another 45 minutes i was so upset my when the bus arrived there were 2 people on the bus which i found odd so i asked them what the hell the bus was booked ages ago and $2,500 was paid for your service we replied with nothing to say. so we get on the bus the driver is driving like an idot i fell on the floor i had to get head scans and shoulder scans due to the driving i had kids on the bus that were scared it was not fun he was running red lights i am in the middle of suing them for damages and reckless driving and for all the people that have written a bad review i got your back all so its time for this company to close down and for them to stop putting people in danger.
Horrible Service! – Do not use this company! Horrible service and horrible communication! It took days of me trying to get a hold of these people just to get a straight answer out of them and when they continued to not answer my calls I called of a friends phone and they answered straight away but still couldn’t answer any of my questions after they told me time and… Read more
time again we will have more information tomorrow, we will have more information tomorrow! So disorganised, they really need to get it together! Will actively tell people not to use this company!

WA down south ladies to the rescue! – Ebony and Angela helped me out when my original transport plan for my wedding fell through. They were so kind and easy going and made the transport plan for all my guests a breeze!
Scumbag company – Had two buses booked for months and they decided to pull out the night before the wedding. Don't use these guys don't give a crap they just blame sub contractors and hold no accountability. They're essentially a scam company Do not use
Worst company I have ever used – Hired a party bus for our sons birthday. I rental bus arrived that was never a party bus… NEVER USE THIS COMPANY.. totally wrecked the night
Beware of booking with Night Cruisers!! – We paid $2000 for a school formal bus booking and the bus did a no show for the first trip! After many frantic attempts to call & text messages to find out where the bus was we were told via text that it was around the corner and would be there shortly but of course this was not the case! We then had to make other arrangements to get them in to… Read more
the formal and I have had a huge fight on my hands ever since trying to get some sort of refund …the amount refunded was way less than it should have been and the owner was incredibly difficult to deal with and unwilling to accept any liability! Do yourself a favour and avoid at all cost!!
Bus never came – If I could give 0 stars I would, a total waste of money we had added for the bus to take us to 3 stops, It picked us up from our house and advised us we could leave our drinks on the bus then the bus never picked us up from the second stop and didn't even call to say they weren't going to pick us. we had about $400 on drinks on the bus that they… Read more
have taken off nobody answers their phone and the bus is nothing like what its advertised as! we will be taking legal action against this SCAM of a company but save yourselves the hassle of dealing with the most unprofessional "company" absolutely disgusting
What the hell – The bus was not the same as what was advertised. And worst of all there was a stain on the bus. We assumed it must have been from a previous trip, nevertheless was disgusting. It seemed to splat across the walls aswell, hopefully it didn’t get in anyones drinks! Would not recommend as I was physically and mentally raped on this bus.
Biggest scam ever – Paid for a bus and was promised a stripper pole and lights the works for my son's 21st. WHAT DID I GET. a school bus. It was a rip off. They know how to lure you in with the promise of the best night out . And when you call they don't pick up. Would never recommend to anyone. A complete waste of money. If I could give a zero star I would
Best 18th Ever! – We are so thankful for our Nightcruiser Party Bus experience. This was my daughter's dream for her 18th birthday, and, thanks to Natalie and Dragy, her dream came true! She and her friends had a really lovely time.
Dishonest. Stay away – Save yourself the headache of dealing with a company who has no integrity and are extremely dishonest. We booked a bus but due to the majority of the guests becoming ill with covid and ordered to isolate we had to cancel. We have just under 2 weeks notice to Natalie as covid was spreading through the family like wildfire and we did not want to do… Read more
the wrong thing and put the community or driver at risk. $350 was held. We have been given the absolute run around by Natalie who told us to put it in writing for head office - we did that, then NO response. Following 20+ ignored calls and messages I called Roland….. funnily after that call Natalie finally answered?? She then shifted it from the ‘head office speel” on too the refund was up to the sub contacted driver and would get back with a response that afternoon…. Yup you guessed it NO RESPONSE again. Another 2 weeks went by with multiple ignored messages and calls (seems to be her pattern). Finally today I tried 3 calls - no answer then I messaged that I would be calling Roland… surprise surprise she answered the next call immediately. This time she advised that the driver has refused to refund the money however if it was lockdown due to covid we would have been reimbursed. I asked why we have had zero communication or response she said ‘oh umm I only got a reply from the driver on the weekend’ . I explained that the majority were in lockdown as they were given state instructions to isolate. She ran round in circles saying that she had never spoken to my niece (who made the booking) which was untrue as it was following the refusal of the $350 that I became involved. I asked for evidence of the drivers disapproval- she ummmed and ahhhhed before saying “I don’t have that he called me”. I asked for evidence of what head office had responded again she took a second then replied “It’s against the law and no one will talk to you as you sis not book this” - I then asked if my niece called would she get this evidence of all the stories we are being told… she basically then said I’m not going to stay on this call as your not a customer. So in a nut shell this company has given us the complete run around for over 3 weeks. We have a record of all the conversations with Natalie and you can see her lies clearly. We had to cancel yes. But we could have been negligent and got on that bus knowingly we had many with covid. We chose to do the right thing to protect the community and the night cruiser bus driver and their family. Unfortunately we can not say the same about night cruiser or Natalie. Just terrible practise! Share with your family and friends to stay far far away and book with a reputable company that has integrity and an element of customer service

Never Again – Booked the service and had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, it took over a week for the company to reply to me after I had sent multiple emails, texts and calls asking for my refund. I finally got a response saying my refund would be ready in 5 days. It has now been over three weeks and the company will not reply to my emails, texts nor… Read more
phone calls. They are overly expensive and will not refund me. Very, very disappointed and I HIGHLY suggest you to not go through this place.
Horrible Service – Got in contact with the company many times and gave over personal information for it to never be followed up. Got in contact more times, same thing happened. They said they would follow up in a week and never did. Wasted weeks trying to get in contact with this company, should have gone with another originally
Very late, rude driver – Driver was over an hour late, and was not sorry or understanding about the situation. He had a terrible attitude and demanded money instantly. So very disappointed at this company, do not recommend. Would give zero stars if I could
Perfect – On time, kinda and understanding. No dramas with anything involved. Waiting patiently and made sure we got to both destinations ontime and safely. Very helpful with all inquiries and answered very question I had
Highly recommend! – Nightcrusier made our night super enjoyable ! They provided excellent service allowing us to get two destination pick ups and arriving and dropping us on time ! Couldn’t of asked for a better company, was definitely a highlight of the night !
Better Then The Formal Itself! – We booked with this company for our formal and honestly couldn’t be happier! It was on time, clean and great sound system and lights. Our bus driver was lovely and made sure we had a good time. Would recommend this company and will defiantly be coming back!
Awesome day with a friendly driver! – From booking the bus to being dropped off at our final destination, Nightcruiser made the whole process easy and simple, the flexibility of changing the address last minute and having very friendly and fun bus driver made the day that much better! Would highly recommend!
Very happy! Will recommend – Thank you for organising the Birthday Wine Tour for us. It all worked out well and your advice was great. The driver was very professional and helped us heaps. Will recommend you to my friends.
