Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a bus in New Orleans, Louisiana?

+

The cost of a charter bus rental in New Orleans depends on several factors like your travel dates, the size of the vehicle, and where you're going. In general, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $1,900 per day for a minibus and $1,800 to $4,950 per day for a full-size charter bus. Since New Orleans is a major city with heavy traffic, especially around the French Quarter and during major events like Mardi Gras or an LSU-Alabama game at the Superdome, pricing can be higher if your trip passes through these hotspots.

If your group needs to bypass the bottlenecks on I-10 near Baton Rouge or the high tolls on the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, we'll make sure your quote includes any extra mileage or toll fees. The best way to get an accurate price is to call our team anytime at 615-561-1220. We'll get a few details about your trip and provide an instant quote right away so you can budget for your NOLA transportation without any surprises.

What amenities are available on each of our bus types in New Orleans, Louisiana?

Every full-size charter bus rental in our fleet features strong air conditioning, plush reclining seats, onboard WiFi, power outlets, and overhead parcel racks-perfect for long-distance travel to Baton Rouge or Gulfport. Many buses also include ADA-accessible features like widened aisles, wheelchair ramps, and expanded restroom facilities to accommodate NOLA riders with mobility needs. For smaller groups, our minibus options offer similar amenities in a more compact package ideal for navigating tight French Quarter streets. If you need specific features like undercarriage storage or New Orleans-specific permits, your New Orleans Charter Bus agent will make sure your trip is coordinated perfectly.

What types of events & destinations do you frequently serve in New Orleans, Louisiana?

+

Our fleet includes minibuses, full-size charter buses, sprinter vans, and party buses, so you can choose exactly what fits your headcount and budget-and get transparent pricing in seconds.

How far in advance should I book my New Orleans, Louisiana bus rental?

+

New Orleans is a major tourist destination with a busy events calendar, which means demand for charter buses can be high, especially during Mardi Gras (February/March), Jazz Fest (late April/May), and major conventions. While we've coordinated hundreds of rentals at the last minute, your best bet is to book your bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance to secure the best availability and pricing. If your group travels overlap with major citywide events like a large festival or LSU game, you may want to book even earlier if possible. The earlier you reserve your New Orleans charter bus, the more options you'll have to get you a vehicle that fits both your budget and your exact headcount-whether that's a minibus, a full-size motorcoach, or something in between.

Our team is available 24/7/365 at 615-561-1220 to help you lock in your transportation plan so you don't have to worry about it later!
