Reservation Policies

Policy Enforcement

The Party Bike Captain for your party is in charge at all times and will enforce the following policies. It is also the responsibility of the person who booked the tour to help the captain in hosting the group in order to maintain a fun and safe experience.

Reservation Policy

Upon making a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email for your order. Please double-check your email address before submitting your booking.

Confirmation emails that say Confirmed are confirmed and no further action is required on your part.

Emails that says Pending either still require payment to be confirmed or have not reached the minimum number of riders to be confirmed. Please note that pending reservation are NOT confirmed until you receive an email specifying that you are confirmed. Individuals or groups that are too small to be confirmed MAY be moved to another time in favor of a confirmed private party, and we will notify you if that occurs. In that case, you will have the option of changing times or receiving a refund.

For smaller groups, we recommend being flexible with your reservation time if you do not have enough people to be confirmed, as often we can pair up small groups together at a different time in order to make it happen!

On Hold emails mean you have joined a waiting list and the time slot is not yet available. All customers with pending and on hold bookings will be notified 24 hours before the start time as to whether or not their booking is confirmed.

If you did not receive a confirmation email, please give us a call to verify your email address and confirm.

Please arrive 20 minutes prior to your start time to ensure that we can check you in, verify waivers, go over the rules, and get the party started on time.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR WAIVERS COMPLETED IN ADVANCE, OTHERWISE YOUR START TIME MAY BE DELAYED. Click here to view and sign the waiver.

Reservations are for the time slot booked. Since we run our parties back to back, private parties that get started late will still finish at the stated end time.

Pub crawls will start and end at the time specified. We cannot wait for stragglers as it is unfair to everyone who showed up on time, and the ticket price will not be refunded. We will attempt to have you meet us at the first bar stop instead if you are running late.

Payments

Credit card fraud and all corresponding communications, electronic, and video evidence will be reported to the police. IDs and the credit card used to book must be present and will be checked / verified unless otherwise approved by management.

For private group parties, a 50% down payment is charged upon reservation. The remaining balance will be charged to the credit card on file 14 days before the booked date.

Reservations utilizing three or more bikes must pay a 50% non-refundable down payment to hold each bike. This amount will not be refunded at any point if bikes are cancelled. Full payment will be due 14 days in advance and is non-refundable.

Individual seat reservations are charged the full price upon booking.

For refunds, cancellations, and rescheduling, please see our cancellations and refunds policy below which you agree to when making a reservation with Dallas Party Bike.

Cancellations & Refunds

If there are any future government shutdowns are travel bans due to COVID-19 that affect your reservation, you can rest assured that we will offer you a raincheck or refund of your choosing. We hope this flexibility gives you peace of mind when making your reservation with us!

You may call or email us to cancel your reservation up to 14 days before your reservation date and receive a full refund. You may call or email us to reschedule your reservation date, subject to availability, up to 14 days before your reservation date.

We cannot cancel or reschedule less than 14 days from the reservation date. Any payments made will be forfeited in the case of cancellation within 14 days of the reservation date.

If your reservation is rescheduled, we cannot reschedule or cancel a second time. These bookings will still be charged the full amount. Make sure to cancel or reschedule in advance if you need to!

Reservations utilizing three or more bikes must pay a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold each bike. This amount will not be refunded at any point if bikes are cancelled. Full payment will be due 14 days in advance and is non-refundable.

Alcohol Policy

The Dallas Party Bike operates like a party bus service — you may BYOB beer, wine, and seltzers on board! We have the following policies in order to ensure both a fun, safe and legal experience. Observance of these policies is required for all groups:

  • Beer and wine only. Seltzers, hard lemonade, canned cocktails like High Noons, and malt beverages are OK!
  • No glass or hard liquor on board. We recommend cans for beer and either boxed wine or a separate plastic container.
  • All alcoholic beverages are BYOB. We cannot provide or sell alcohol.
  • Do not step off board the vehicle with an open container as you will be in violation of public consumption laws and may be cited. All alcoholic beverages must stay on the vehicle!

We aim to provide an amazing time, but your safety is our #1 priority! DO NOT arrive for your party already intoxicated or service may be refused without a refund.

Participant Waiver

All participants must provide a valid photo ID at the time of the reservation and sign a rider waiver. You can send this link to the rest of your party for them to have it completed ahead of time, as well.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR WAIVERS COMPLETED IN ADVANCE, OTHERWISE YOUR START TIME MAY BE DELAYED. Click here to view and sign the waiver.

NOTE: To stay on schedule, please arrive 20 minutes prior to the start of your reservation in order to have everything ready by the time your party is supposed to start.

Weather Policy

We ride rain or shine, but for safety we cancel if there is lightning or other severe weather. Don’t worry — you won’t be pedaling around in a monsoon! If we have to cancel the tour based on severe weather conditions, you will receive a 100% refund or rain check for another date.

Weather cancellations are not made until right before your tour’s scheduled start time, as weather can be unpredictable.

Inappropriate Behavior Termination

Inappropriate behavior by participants will result in termination of the party for the entire group. Your party bike captain has sole discretion on terminating a party for misbehavior. Groups who have their party terminated for any reason will not receive a refund and will incur a $100 early termination penalty fee.

These behaviors include, but are not necessarily limited to:

  • Being physically or verbally abusive or disrespectful to your party captain.
  • Excessive intoxication — do not show up already intoxicated or you will be denied service without a refund!
  • Do not become excessively intoxicated along the way or you will be removed. Pace yourself!
  • Removing open containers of alcohol from the bike onto the street
  • Bringing alcohol off-premises from the bar stops
  • Providing alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 or on the street
  • Bringing glass or hard liquor on board in violation of local ordinances
  • Jumping off the vehicle while it is in motion or in traffic
  • Using vulgar language at pedestrians, the police, or other drivers
  • Standing or hanging on the bike (you must stay seated when moving with your seat belt on)
  • Any other inappropriate behavior or violation of local, state and federal laws

Remember—Your party bike captain is in charge and must be respected at all times! Make sure to have a good time, but use common sense and obey the rules!
