New Orleans Minibus Rentals

The inside of a New Orleans minibus is designed for comfort, practicality, and convenience—perfect for any kind of trip in the city or across the state. You’ll find rows of cushioned seats (usually cloth or vinyl), wide center aisles for easy movement, and large side windows that give passengers a great view of the city—whether you’re heading down St. Charles Avenue or out to Baton Rouge. There are overhead storage racks for backpacks and small bags, individual reading lights, air conditioning vents, and a PA system so your driver can communicate with everyone on board. Larger minibuses (30+ seats) may include a rear luggage area, forward-facing video monitors, and additional amenities like USB charging ports and WiFi routers. It’s a clean, modern, comfortable space that makes group travel simple and stress-free.

New Orleans Party Bus Company offers minibuses that seat anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers, making them perfect for medium-sized groups heading to weddings, festivals, corporate events, or even quick airport transfers. The most common models in our fleet include 15, 18, 20, 25, 28, 30, and 35-passenger configurations, so you can easily find something that fits your headcount without overpaying for extra space. Need something bigger or smaller? Just ask—we have one of the largest and most versatile fleets in Louisiana, so we can accommodate groups of any size.

Minibuses come standard with powerful air conditioning (a must in Louisiana), plush reclining seats, tinted windows, and a sound system with Bluetooth or AUX input so you can play your own music. Most models also include free Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets at each row, overhead storage racks, individual reading lights, and either flat-screen TVs at the front or video monitors in the ceiling for entertainment or presentations. Additional options available upon request include PA microphone, luggage storage in rear cargo bay or under-seat area, and upgraded lighting package.

Yes, almost every minibus in our fleet comes equipped with either 110V power outlets, USB charging ports, or both—typically one per row of seats or integrated into the armrests and side panels. This allows passengers to charge smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices during the trip, which is especially useful for business travelers, student groups, or anyone who wants to stay connected while on the road. If you have specific power requirements (such as needing multiple outlets per row or high-wattage capacity), please let us know when booking so we can match you with the right vehicle.

Most mini buses do not have onboard restrooms due to their smaller size and single-level floorplan, but some larger models (30-35 passengers) may be available with a compact lavatory at the rear of the cabin. If having a restroom is essential for your trip—such as for long-distance routes between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Lafayette, or Shreveport—please specify this requirement when requesting a quote so we can check availability and provide the best option. For shorter trips within the city, regular comfort stops can be scheduled at rest areas, gas stations, or other convenient locations along the route.

Yes, there is space for luggage either in overhead compartments above the seats or in a rear cargo area at the back of the bus. Overhead bins are suitable for backpacks and small carry-ons, while larger suitcases and equipment cases can be stored in the dedicated luggage compartment at the rear. If your group is traveling with extra-large items such as musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show displays, please inform us in advance so we can ensure there is adequate space or arrange for additional storage solutions.

The cost of renting a minibus in New Orleans depends on several factors including the size of the vehicle (number of seats), length of the trip (hours or days), distance traveled (miles), and time of year (peak season rates may apply). As a general guideline, expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,500 per day for a standard minibus rental, with exact pricing determined by the details of your itinerary. For an accurate quote tailored to your specific needs, please contact our office with the date, pickup location, destination, and number of passengers. We offer competitive rates and will work with you to get you a solution that fits your budget.

It’s best to book your minibus as early as possible—ideally six to nine months in advance—especially if your trip falls during a busy season like Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, or football season. Spring and summer dates tend to fill up quickly because of graduations, weddings, and major festivals, while fall brings a surge of demand from school groups and sports fans. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but securing your vehicle early will give you the best selection and pricing. If you’re planning something less than a month out, call us anyway—we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you.

Once we know your headcount, pickup location, destination, and schedule, we’ll send you a customized quote within minutes. If you like what you see, you can reserve the bus by signing the contract and paying a deposit online. Our team will handle all the logistics, answer any questions, and make sure you get exactly the vehicle you need for your event.

Your quote covers the base rental cost, driver pay, mileage, and standard amenities, but it does NOT include parking fees, tolls, or special permits required by certain venues. For example, if you’re attending an event at the Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, or Fair Grounds Race Course, you may need to purchase a parking pass separately—these can range from $30 to $100+ depending on the location and size of the vehicle. Bridge tolls (such as the Crescent City Connection) and highway tolls outside the city are also the responsibility of the chartering party. Please budget accordingly and ask your reservation agent if you need help estimating these additional expenses.

While New Orleans has some public transit options like NORTA buses and streetcars, they don’t reach every destination and aren’t always practical for moving large groups on a tight schedule. Taxis and rideshare services can add up quickly if you need multiple vehicles, and splitting up your group increases the risk of delays or missed connections. With a private minibus, you get door-to-door service, exclusive use of the vehicle, and the ability to set your own itinerary without relying on fixed routes or timetables. It’s the most efficient way to keep everyone together and arrive on time.
