Total cost by typical Las Olas booking

A 20-passenger weekend Las Olas bar crawl: 5 hours × $275/hr = $1,375 + 18% gratuity = ~$1,625 total. Split across 18 people, that's $90 each — comparable to two Uber rides plus drink premiums, with no DUI risk and a private vehicle that waits for you between stops. Always confirm gratuity is excluded before comparing quotes across operators.
