New Orleans Group Transportation Services
Rather than searching for a different company for every occasion, Busrentalneworleans.com puts every type of New Orleans group transportation in one place. From airport shuttles and wedding shuttles to concert buses, corporate shuttles, prom transportation, and more, compare packages from a large network of independent bus companies serving New Orleans, all in one place!

New Orleans Airport Shuttle Services
Every group arriving at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) (1 Terminal Drive, Kenner, LA 70062) deserves a smooth, stress-free transfer, and a private airport shuttle bus rental in New Orleans keeps your group together for the ride. MSY sits about 15 miles west of the French Quarter via I-10 East, a drive that can stretch well past 45 minutes during peak hours on the Pontchartrain Expressway. Instead of splitting your group across multiple rideshares or waiting for a crowded shuttle, rent one bus for a shared pickup and ride to your hotel, venue, or cruise terminal at Port of New Orleans (1350 Port of New Orleans Pl, New Orleans, LA 70130).
Courtesy shuttles for nearby hotels and off-airport parking pick up outside Level 1 Baggage Claim Doors 1 through 5; for-hire vehicles need an airport Ground Transportation Center decal to access the center. Set a shared pickup point before landing so your group can board together. Fill out one quick form to compare airport shuttle buses from a network of providers serving the New Orleans metro, or call 504-276-0440 any time!

New Orleans Concert Transportation
Don't let parking and traffic eat into your concert night in New Orleans. Whether your group is headed to a sold-out show at Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113), a festival set at Fest Grounds at Fair Grounds Race Course (1751 Gentilly Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70119) during Jazz Fest, or a late-night set at Tipitina's (501 Napoleon Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115), a New Orleans concert bus rental keeps your group together from the first note to the last call.
Smoothie King Center handles charter bus drop-off on Dave Dixon Drive, with bus parking coordinated on a per-event basis. Jazz Fest does not allow charter buses to park or unload on site, and parking in the surrounding neighborhood is restricted to residents. For festival groups, choose an off-site pickup point so everyone can board together away from the Fair Grounds.
Through Busrentalneworleans.com, you can compare concert buses, including party buses with built-in bars, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound, from a large network of New Orleans transportation companies. Get instant pricing online or call 504-276-0440 today!

Corporate Transportation Services in New Orleans
Use your next corporate event in New Orleans to make a real impression, starting with the transportation. Whether you're shuttling convention attendees between downtown hotels and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (900 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70130), running a team-building excursion out to Audubon Nature Institute, or coordinating executive transfers through the Central Business District, a New Orleans corporate charter bus rental keeps your group together and your itinerary organized.
The Morial Convention Center hosts events like the American Society of Association Executives Annual Meeting and the Offshore Technology Conference. Its event-services guide lists pick-up and drop-off points on Convention Center Boulevard at Julia Street and Halls E and J. For convention groups, a shared pick-up point gives everyone one place to board or meet after the event. Need something smaller for a group of executives?
Sprinter vans are in the mix too. Busrentalneworleans.com connects you with a large network of corporate transportation providers serving New Orleans, so you get TONS of different options at TONS of different price points. Fill out one quick form or call 504-276-0440!

New Orleans Employee Shuttle Services
You can count on a New Orleans employee shuttle bus to take the daily commute headache completely off your team's plate. Traffic on I-10 through Metairie and the Crescent City Connection bridge is notoriously congested during morning and evening rush hours, and parking in the Central Business District and Mid-City can cost employees hundreds of dollars a month. A recurring employee shuttle service in New Orleans gives your team another way to get to work together.
Coordinate custom pickup routes from outlying areas like Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, and Slidell, dropping employees directly at offices along Poydras Street, Canal Street, or the Warehouse District. Your team can board together, catch up on emails using onboard WiFi, and arrive ready to work instead of frazzled from fighting the Pontchartrain Expressway. Busrentalneworleans.com also works with companies to build custom workplace stoppage transportation plans for strikes or labor disruptions. Because Busrentalneworleans.com connects you with a large network of independent bus companies, you're never locked into one provider or one fleet.

Prom & Homecoming Transportation Services in New Orleans
On prom night in New Orleans, the entrance is everything, and arriving in a New Orleans prom party bus makes one that nobody forgets. Schools across Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Tammany Parishes all schedule their proms within the same tight spring window, which means the best buses and the sharpest prices go to the groups that book first. Waiting until March or April for a May prom date is a mistake that will cost you, in higher rates, limited vehicle selection, or both.
A prom party bus keeps the whole friend group together from the pre-party photo shoot to the post-prom celebration, with no one worrying about parking near the venue or arranging a sober ride home. Popular prom venues in the metro include the Pontchartrain Convention & Civic Center (4545 Williams Blvd, Kenner, LA 70065) and various hotel ballrooms along Canal Street and in the Central Business District. Busrentalneworleans.com makes it easy to compare prom buses from a large network of New Orleans providers. No account needed, fill out one quick form or call 504-276-0440 to lock in your date today!

New Orleans Charter Bus Rentals For Sports Teams & Sporting Events
If your group is heading to a Saints game at the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112), a Pelicans game at Smoothie King Center, or a college football showdown in the Caesars Superdome during Sugar Bowl weekend, a New Orleans sports transportation bus rental is the smartest move your group makes all season. Parking around the Superdome on game days is extremely limited, expensive, and fills up hours before kickoff, so a charter bus gives your group one shared ride to and from the event.
Charter buses approach the Caesars Superdome via Poydras Street and Sugar Bowl Drive, with motorcoach drop-off coordinated through the venue's event operations team. For sports team travel in New Orleans, full-size charter buses with undercarriage storage can hold equipment while coaches and athletes ride together in a climate-controlled cabin.

Charter Bus Rentals For New Orleans Weddings
Wherever your wedding weekend takes you in New Orleans, from a ceremony in the St. Louis Cathedral to a reception at The Elms Mansion (3029 St Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115), a dinner at Commander's Palace (1403 Washington Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130) in the Garden District, or a second-line parade through the French Quarter, a New Orleans wedding shuttle bus rental gives your guests a shared ride between wedding stops.
New Orleans is one of the most unique wedding destinations in the country, and its narrow streets, limited parking, and vibrant nightlife mean that guests left to navigate on their own can arrive late, lost, or exhausted before the reception even starts. A wedding shuttle bus keeps everyone together from the first pickup to the final drop-off at the hotel. Popular wedding venues in the city include The Chicory (610 S Peters St, New Orleans, LA 70130) in the Warehouse District, Brennan's Restaurant (417 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70130) in the French Quarter, and the Audubon Tea Room (6500 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70118) in Uptown, with reception capacity for up to 450 guests indoors or 750 guests indoors and outdoors.

New Orleans traffic is consistently ranked among the most congested in the South. The worst bottlenecks occur on I-10 through Metairie and the Pontchartrain Expressway between 7–9 a.m. and 4–6:30 p.m. on weekdays. The Crescent City Connection bridge over the Mississippi River also sees significant slowdowns during peak hours and around major events.
For game days at the Caesars Superdome, Jazz Fest weekends, and Mardi Gras parades, add at least 30–60 minutes of buffer time to any pickup or drop-off window. Planning departures outside peak windows whenever possible will save your group significant time and frustration.
Mardi Gras parade routes close city streets, and parking for large vehicles is restricted around the routes. New Orleans prohibits large enclosed vehicles from parking on public streets within two blocks of a parade route four hours before and after each parade; parking along parade routes is restricted two hours before and after parades. Plan a shared pickup point outside those restricted areas so your group can board together.
Book your Mardi Gras bus rental as early as possible, availability during Carnival season disappears fast.

The right bus size depends on your passenger count, your luggage needs, and where you're headed. As a general guide: sprinter vans work well for groups of up to 14; minibuses fit 15 to 35 passengers and are great for inner-city travel through the French Quarter and Warehouse District; party buses hold 15 to 50 passengers and come loaded with bars, LED lighting, and sound systems for celebration trips; and full-size charter buses accommodate up to 56 passengers with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage storage for long-distance travel. Not sure which fits your group?
Call 504-276-0440 and a live agent will help you figure it out!
For most New Orleans trips, booking two to three months in advance gives you the best combination of vehicle availability and competitive pricing. That window stretches significantly for peak periods. Mardi Gras season, which runs from Twelfth Night in January through Fat Tuesday, is the single busiest stretch of the year for charter buses in New Orleans, and vehicles book up six months or more in advance.
Jazz Fest (late April through early May), Sugar Bowl weekend (late December/early January), Essence Festival (Fourth of July weekend), and prom season (April–May) all follow close behind. Waiting until the last minute during any of these periods almost always means higher rates, limited availability, or both. Book as early as you can, and if you're not sure whether your date counts as peak season in New Orleans, call 504-276-0440 and a live agent will tell you what to expect!
