As most transportation entrepreneurial stories start, there was a desire and passion for entertainment and travel. In 2007, Derek Wilcox (founder) and his father purchased a small transit bus on a whim without first telling his mother. This vehicle was used for personal travel, camping and transportation of family and friends.

In 2011, Derek was approached by close friends to drive a bachelorette party in this bus. This we would soon learn was the first official trip of what has become Cruise-A-Palooza.

Over the first few years, Derek acted as the one and only chauffeur until the business started adding additional vehicles and staff year after year.  Cruise-A-Palooza continues to add the newest and most luxurious SUVs and party buses available to ensure we continuously exceed customer expectations.
