Lehi Group Transportation: Thanksgiving Point, Silicon Slopes, and Airport Runs

Quotes we have sent across Utah start around $290–$350 an hour, which puts a typical four-hour night at $1,200–$1,500. Your price depends on the date, the city, how many hours you need, the bus and your group size.

Lehi requires a permit for private functions such as parties, races, or oversized group picnics of 100 or more people that use city property, for events that interfere with normal public use of city property, and for anything needing added city staff. The city asks for at least 30 days, reviews applications by committee, and does not approve permits for commercial ventures. Tell the transportation company whether the permit is issued yet so the contract covers a date change.

No. Lehi treats the pavilion reservation as its own document and wants a copy of the confirmation attached to any special-event application that uses a pavilion. The reservation covers the named pavilion, not the park and not its parking. Give the company the exact pavilion and park entrance, and ask whether a longer vehicle has to stage on an adjacent street rather than pull down the park drive.

Lehi City points events on the Murdock Canal Trail or the Jordan River Trail to Utah County's special-event process, and events on UDOT-owned roads such as Redwood Road or the Timpanogos Highway to UDOT's own special-event permit. A city permit does not stand in for either one. Ask the organizer which agency approved the route, then have the driver pick a loading point outside the approved course.

Thanksgiving Point is private property with seven venues and a 50-acre garden, hosting weddings, corporate events, and big fall festivals like the Scarecrow Festival. The events staff decides where a coach drops and whether it can wait. Ask for written instructions covering your date, pass the venue name and entrance to the company, and build in extra time if your event overlaps a public program on the same campus.

61% of every request we get is for a Saturday, and another 20% for a Friday. That is why Saturday availability is the first thing to ask about. That's what other Lehi planners asked for — your own headcount is what decides it. Count everyone who is actually getting on, then add room for luggage, coolers, instruments or formalwear. Ask each company for the legal seated capacity of the exact vehicle they're offering. Most Lehi requests are for weddings, bachelor parties, and bachelorette parties, and those nights want different amounts of floor space for the same headcount. A bus rated for twenty seats is not twenty comfortable seats in formalwear.

Not necessarily. The images here are representative renderings of a vehicle class, not photos of a bus parked in Lehi. The company covering your route names the assigned vehicle in writing when you book. Before you pay, make sure that writing gives the specific vehicle, its legal seated capacity, the features you're counting on, and what happens if it's unavailable on the day — including whether a replacement could be a different size or class.

Ask in your first message, before you have a quote. Accessible vehicles are a small slice of any local fleet and they need more lead time. Tell them how many passengers use a wheelchair or mobility device, the type and weight, whether anyone can transfer to a seat, and whether you need a lift or a ramp. Ask in writing how the device is secured, what the usable door and interior height are, and how much notice they need. Then check the accessible entrance and loading spot with each venue — Thanksgiving Point and the Ashton Gardens and Silicon Slopes offices and Traverse Mountain properties set their own access rules, and the right bus is no help at a door it can't reach.
