Written by the Pharaoh’s Transportation dispatch team
Quick answer: For a Milwaukee company holiday party, the simplest plan is chauffeured transportation booked by the hour: Sprinter limo vans for groups of up to 14, premium SUVs and Escalades for executives and smaller groups, and several vehicles coordinated together for larger companies. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead, since the first three Fridays and Saturdays of December (December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18 and 19 this year) fill first. Pharaoh’s Transportation coordinates office-to-venue shuttles, hotel pickups and safe rides home across Greater Milwaukee. Call 414-322-3751.

Why Milwaukee Companies Book Holiday Party Transportation
- Safe rides home: no employee has to drive after the party.
- No downtown parking problems: venues in the Third Ward, downtown and the Deer District have limited parking on busy December nights.
- Everyone arrives together: a shared ride from the office starts the celebration on time.
- A better experience for guests: clients and spouses arriving by chauffeured vehicle feel like VIPs.
- Peace of mind for the organizer: one dispatch contact handles pickups, timing and changes.
- A memorable start to the night: riding together in a Sprinter turns the trip itself into part of the celebration.
Peak December Dates to Book Early
| Date | Day | Demand |
|---|---|---|
| December 4 | Friday | High |
| December 5 | Saturday | Very high |
| December 11 | Friday | Very high |
| December 12 | Saturday | Highest |
| December 18 | Friday | Very high |
| December 19 | Saturday | High |
| Weeknights in December | Monday to Thursday | Moderate; better availability |
Weeknight parties and early-December weekends are easier to book, and some companies move their party to January to avoid the December rush entirely.
Choosing Vehicles for Your Team
| Vehicle | Passengers | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sprinter limo van | Up to 14 | Teams and departments riding together |
| Cadillac Escalade or premium SUV | Up to 6 | Executives, VIP guests, small teams |
| Executive sedan | Up to 3 | Individual executives or speakers |
| Several Sprinters and SUVs | 15 to 100+ | Company-wide parties, coordinated by our dispatch team |
Sizing by Headcount
| Expected Riders | Suggested Setup |
|---|---|
| Up to 6 | One Escalade or SUV |
| 7 to 14 | One Sprinter |
| 15 to 28 | Two Sprinters |
| 29 to 42 | Three Sprinters, or two Sprinters plus SUVs |
| 43 and up | Multiple Sprinters with scheduled runs; ask us to plan it |
Not every guest needs a ride both ways. Ask your team in advance who wants transportation to the venue, home, or both, and size the fleet to the busier direction, which is usually the ride home.
Three Ways to Plan the Night
1. Office to Venue and Back
Sprinters pick up at your office at the end of the workday, drive the team to the venue, and return everyone to the office or home at the end of the night. This works well for downtown and Third Ward companies.
2. Scheduled Shuttle Runs
For larger parties, vehicles run between your office, nearby hotels and the venue on a schedule, such as every 30 minutes from 5 to 7 p.m., with late-night return runs. Guests choose the run that fits them.
3. Home Drop-Off Routes
At the end of the night, vehicles leave on planned routes by area: one toward Wauwatosa and Brookfield, one toward the North Shore, one south toward Oak Creek and Franklin. Everyone gets home without a long detour.
Need a plan for 30, 50 or 100 guests?
Send your headcount, venue and timing. We’ll recommend the right mix of Sprinters and SUVs.
Plans for Different Company Sizes
Small Teams (Up to 14)
One Sprinter limo van handles the whole team: a pickup at the office, the ride to dinner, and drop-offs at home or a central point at the end of the night. It is often the simplest and most cost-effective plan.
Mid-Size Companies (15 to 50)
Two to four Sprinters, sometimes with an SUV for leadership, cover the night. We stagger arrivals so the venue entrance never gets crowded, and plan return runs at two or three set times so guests can leave early or stay late.
Large Companies (50 and Up)
Larger parties work best with scheduled shuttle runs from offices and hotels, plus home drop-off routes organized by area. One organizer stays in touch with our dispatch team throughout the night, and vehicles are added or moved as the evening develops.
Remote and Hybrid Teams
When employees live across the region, a central pickup point, such as the office or a hotel, keeps the plan efficient, with home drop-offs grouped by neighborhood at the end of the night.
Popular Holiday Party Areas in Greater Milwaukee
| Area | What to Plan For |
|---|---|
| Downtown and East Town | Busy streets and limited parking; plan a clear drop-off point at the venue entrance |
| Historic Third Ward | Popular event spaces and restaurants; narrow streets fill quickly on December weekends |
| Deer District | Event nights at Fiserv Forum add traffic; check the arena schedule before choosing a date |
| Lakefront | Museums and waterfront venues; allow time for winter wind and weather |
| Wauwatosa and Brookfield | Suburban restaurants and hotels; easy for west-side teams |
| Mequon and the North Shore | Country clubs and private venues; longer drives for some guests |
| Lake Country | Lakeside venues; plan for longer distances on the ride home |
Sample Holiday Party Schedule
- 4:45 p.m.: two Sprinters arrive at your downtown office.
- 5:15 p.m.: first run departs for a Third Ward venue.
- 5:45 p.m.: second run picks up guests from a nearby hotel.
- 6:00 p.m.: an Escalade picks up the CEO and two clients.
- 10:00 p.m.: first return run departs for guests leaving early.
- 11:30 p.m.: final return runs leave on home drop-off routes.
Every schedule is built around your venue, headcount and timing, and confirmed in writing.
How Holiday Party Transportation Is Priced
Holiday party transportation is billed hourly by vehicle. Sprinter limo vans carry a 5-hour minimum, and premium SUVs and sedans carry a 3-hour minimum. Your written quote lists every vehicle, the hours and what is included. Companies with a corporate account can receive one consolidated invoice. See our hourly limo service for details.
| Cost Factor | How It Affects Your Quote |
|---|---|
| Number and type of vehicles | Sprinters, SUVs and sedans are priced differently |
| Hours of service | Longer parties need more hours; minimums apply |
| Date | Peak December Saturdays are in the highest demand |
| Number of stops | Several pickup points and home routes add time |
| Distance | Suburban venues and home routes add drive time |
Duty of Care: Getting Everyone Home Safely
A company holiday party is a celebration, and many employers want to make sure nobody has to choose between staying for another toast and driving home. Providing transportation shows employees the company cares, and it removes a real worry for organizers. Share the plan with employees ahead of time so everyone knows a ride home is included.
Client Appreciation Events and Executive Hospitality
December is also a popular month for client appreciation dinners and hospitality nights. An Escalade for key clients, or a Sprinter for a group dinner, keeps the evening professional from pickup to drop-off. Our chauffeur service provides discreet, professional drivers for executive guests.
Combining the Party With Other Plans
- Out-of-town employees: pair the party with MKE or O’Hare airport pickups so remote team members arrive without driving.
- Holiday events: add a stop for holiday lights or a show before or after dinner.
- Team outings: some companies replace a traditional party with an outing, such as a brewery or a game, with a Sprinter for the group.
