Charter Bus Rentals New Orleans, Louisiana

Every charter bus features plush, reclining seats with footrests and armrests, individual reading lights, and overhead storage bins for small bags or backpacks. The aisle is wide enough for passengers to move comfortably, and there are multiple video monitors mounted throughout the cabin. Larger buses include a rear restroom, while the front section has additional luggage racks and sometimes a small galley area for refreshments. Interior color schemes are typically blue, gray, or burgundy, designed to hide wear and tear while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Most full-size charter buses in New Orleans seat 56 passengers, but smaller models with 47, 50, or 52 seats are also available. These are the largest and most popular options for group travel, offering plenty of space for large groups and their luggage. Seating configurations can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer and model year, but all provide comfortable, high-back seats arranged in rows of two on each side of a central aisle. If you need something larger or smaller, let us know—we can find the perfect size for your group.

Standard amenities on a charter bus rental in New Orleans include free WiFi, power outlets at every seat, USB ports, reclining seats with footrests, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, flat-screen TVs, DVD/Blu-ray players, PA system, climate control, and an onboard restroom. Many buses also feature tray tables, cup holders, and tinted windows for privacy. If you have specific amenity requests, such as HDMI inputs or extra luggage space, let your reservation agent know when booking.

Yes, nearly every charter bus we offer comes equipped with either 110V power outlets, USB charging ports, or both. On newer models, you’ll get you a pair of standard three-prong outlets and dual USB ports located between each row of seats—perfect for charging laptops, tablets, and phones simultaneously. This setup ensures that every passenger has easy access to power without having to share or wait their turn. If your group requires additional charging capacity (for example, if you’re traveling with a lot of camera equipment or other electronics), please let us know when booking so we can accommodate your needs.

Yes, most full-size charter buses in New Orleans are equipped with an onboard restroom located at the rear of the bus. The restroom includes a toilet, sink, and hand sanitizer dispenser, providing passengers with a convenient option for long trips. While the restroom is suitable for basic needs, it’s best used as a backup rather than a primary facility, especially on extended journeys. For shorter trips or shuttle services within the city, some groups may choose to forgo the restroom in favor of additional seating or storage space.

Yes, full-size charter buses offer substantial luggage space both inside and outside the cabin. There are large underfloor storage bays accessible from the exterior of the bus, capable of holding several pieces of checked luggage per passenger—typically up to 15-20 suitcases or large duffel bags. Inside, overhead racks run the length of the cabin on both sides, providing additional room for carry-ons, backpacks, or smaller personal items. This dual-storage system ensures that all passengers’ belongings can be stowed securely without crowding the aisle or seating area. If your group is traveling with oversized equipment (such as musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show displays), please inform your reservation specialist so we can allocate extra space as needed.

The cost of renting a charter bus in New Orleans varies depending on several factors, including the size of the bus, the length of the trip, the time of year, and the specific itinerary. Rates are calculated either by the hour, by the day, or by the mile, with additional charges for overtime, layovers, or special requests. To get an accurate quote, you’ll need to provide details about your trip such as pickup and drop-off locations, schedule, and any extra amenities required. Contact our team anytime to get a personalized estimate based on your exact needs.

To ensure availability and get the best rates, it’s recommended to book your New Orleans charter bus at least six to nine months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a peak season or coincides with a major event like Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, or a big game at Caesars Superdome. Spring and summer are particularly busy times for weddings, school trips, and festival transportation, so securing your reservation early will give you more options and leverage when negotiating prices. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited in terms of vehicle selection and cost-effectiveness. As soon as you have confirmed dates and headcount, reach out to our team to lock in your bus and finalize the contract.

Review the quote, ask any questions, and once you’re ready, you can secure your reservation with a deposit. Our team will guide you through the entire process and answer any questions you may have.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the bus and driver, but it does not cover additional expenses such as tolls, parking, or lodging for the driver if required. These costs are the responsibility of the customer and should be factored into your overall budget. For example, if your itinerary includes crossing the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway or using any toll roads, those fees will need to be paid separately. Similarly, if you’re planning to attend an event at the Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, or another major venue, you’ll need to arrange and pay for bus parking in advance. Rates for bus parking can vary widely depending on the location and duration of stay—for instance, parking at the Caesars Superdome may cost between $40 and $100 per bus depending on the event. Be sure to check with your destination ahead of time to confirm pricing and availability. If you have any questions about what is or isn’t included in your quote, please ask your reservation specialist for clarification.

New Orleans offers several public transit options, including buses and streetcars operated by the Regional Transit Authority (RTA), as well as Amtrak train service and Greyhound intercity buses. While these options are affordable and convenient for individual travelers, they may not be ideal for large groups or those with strict schedules. Public transit routes and timetables are fixed, which can make it difficult to coordinate group movements or reach destinations outside the city center. In contrast, a private charter bus provides door-to-door service on your own schedule, allowing you to customize pickup and drop-off locations, departure times, and stops along the way. This level of flexibility is especially valuable for groups attending events, touring multiple sites, or traveling long distances. With a private bus, you won’t have to worry about missed connections, overcrowded vehicles, or carrying luggage through busy stations. Instead, you’ll enjoy exclusive use of a comfortable, fully-equipped vehicle that moves when you say so.
