Pricing depends on the bus type and size, the day of the week, the length of your trip, and any amenities your group wants. A 15-passenger minibus for a short French Quarter run costs differently than a 56-passenger charter bus for a weekend trip to Baton Rouge — and a Saturday night party bus during Jazz Fest weekend costs differently than a Tuesday afternoon corporate shuttle.

Whether you need a one-way transfer from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) or a multi-day package for a group visiting from out of state, Gulfportcharterbuscompany.com makes finding the right bus the easy part of your trip!
You'll love how many different services you can find and book right through this website! From airport transfers and Mardi Gras parade shuttles to wedding transportation and cruise terminal drop-offs, Gulfportcharterbuscompany.com connects you to buses for every occasion in New Orleans and the surrounding area. Here's a look at what's available:

For stress-free group arrivals and departures at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) (900 Airline Dr, Kenner, LA 70062), an airport shuttle bus rental keeps everyone together from the moment the last bag hits the carousel. MSY is approximately 15 miles from the French Quarter — a 25 to 40-minute ride depending on I-10 traffic through Metairie. Charter buses use the commercial vehicle zones on the Lower Level Arrivals curb.
The key to a smooth pickup: don't call the bus until your entire group is together, bags in hand, and standing at the curb — commercial vehicles stage nearby and pull forward when you're ready, not before.
Heading to the Port of New Orleans for a cruise? The Julia Street Cruise Terminal (1350 Port of New Orleans Pl, New Orleans, LA 70130) and the Erato Street Cruise Terminal (1 Erato St, New Orleans, LA 70130) are approximately 22 miles from MSY — a 30 to 45-minute ride. One bus takes your whole group curbside to the correct terminal, skipping the port parking bill entirely.

Gulfportcharterbuscompany.com is ready to help your group get to the show without the parking nightmare. New Orleans is one of the greatest music cities on earth, and its venues come with access rules that make a bus the smartest move. The Saenger Theatre (1111 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70112) and the Joy Theater (1200 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70112) both sit on Canal Street, where buses can drop your group steps from the entrance.
The House of Blues New Orleans (225 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70130) is deep in the French Quarter — Decatur Street is narrow and busy, so your bus drops at the perimeter and stages on Canal Street while you're inside.
Heading to Tipitina's (501 Napoleon Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115) or Frenchmen Street for a night of live music? A party bus with a built-in bar, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound keeps the energy going from the first pickup to the last song. Compare concert buses from a network of providers serving New Orleans — call 228-351-4630 or fill out the form now!

With one quick form, you can find corporate shuttle buses for conferences, client meetings, off-sites, and team events across New Orleans and the surrounding area. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (900 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70130) is one of the largest convention centers in the country, drawing major events year-round. Charter buses can drop groups on Convention Center Boulevard, with staging in the nearby Fulton Street and Champions Square lots.
New Orleans drivers regularly lose significant time to congestion, and the I-10/I-610 interchange near the Superdome is a chronic bottleneck. A dedicated corporate shuttle takes that off your team's plate entirely. Whether you need a recurring employee route, a one-day conference shuttle, or transportation for an executive group arriving at MSY, Gulfportcharterbuscompany.com makes the transportation the easy part.
Call 228-351-4630 or fill out the form to get started!

Gulfportcharterbuscompany.com connects you to employee shuttle buses that run on your company's schedule, not the other way around. Whether you need a daily commuter route from the suburbs of Metairie or Kenner, a weekly shuttle between your downtown office and a satellite location in the Warehouse District, or temporary transportation while your parking lot is under construction, the network has buses ready to fit your headcount and your route.
New Orleans traffic on I-10 and the Pontchartrain Expressway is no joke — and sending your team into that gridlock in separate cars every morning costs everyone time and energy they could be spending on work. A dedicated employee shuttle bus turns the commute into a productive (or at least comfortable) ride, and it gives your company one predictable transportation cost instead of a dozen parking reimbursements. Compare available employee shuttle options for your route by filling out the form or calling 228-351-4630 today!

With a large network of bus types available, Gulfportcharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to find group transportation for government agencies, military units, and public-sector organizations across the New Orleans metro. Whether you need a 15-passenger minibus for a small agency team or a fleet of 56-passenger charter buses for a large-scale personnel move, you can compare available vehicles and packages in one place.
The New Orleans metro is home to Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans (400 Russell Ave, Belle Chasse, LA 70143) on the West Bank, as well as numerous federal, state, and local government facilities throughout the area. ADA-accessible buses are available through the network — just mention your accessibility needs when you submit your trip details. Fill out the form or call 228-351-4630 to find government and military transportation that fits your mission!

Give your group the room to actually enjoy the ride when you book a long-distance charter bus from New Orleans. Whether you're headed 80 miles west on I-10 to Baton Rouge, making the 130-mile run to Lafayette, or crossing the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway — the longest bridge over water in the world at 24 miles — to the North Shore communities of Mandeville and Covington, a full-size motorcoach gives everyone reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and large undercarriage luggage bays for the journey.
Heading further? Long-distance buses from New Orleans can reach Biloxi and Gulfport, MS (about 90 miles east on I-10), Houston, TX, or anywhere your group needs to go. Compare motorcoaches sized to your group, with the amenities that make a long trip easy, by filling out the form or calling 228-351-4630!

Because New Orleans runs on celebration, private event transportation here is in a class of its own. Birthday parties. Family reunions.
Anniversary dinners. Bachelorette nights through the Quarter. Crawfish boil runs out to the Northshore.
Whatever brings your group together, Gulfportcharterbuscompany.com helps you find a bus that fits the occasion — from a sleek 15-passenger minibus for an intimate dinner party to a 50-passenger party bus loaded with a built-in bar, LED lighting, and a Bluetooth sound system for a milestone birthday.
New Orleans streets — especially in the French Quarter and the Marigny — are narrow, busy, and full of surprises on a weekend night. One bus keeps your group together from the first pickup to the last drop-off, with no one splitting into rideshares and no one stranded when the surge pricing kicks in at 1 a.m. Compare private event buses from a network of providers by filling out the form or calling 228-351-4630!

A prom party bus in New Orleans typically comes with color-changing LED lighting, a premium sound system with Bluetooth, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating — everything your group needs to make the night unforgettable before the first song even plays.

Whatever your next school field trip destination, Gulfportcharterbuscompany.com makes finding the right bus easy.

The National WWII Museum (945 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70130) is one of the top-rated museums in the country and a natural choice for history field trips; bus drop-off is on Magazine Street, with staging on Howard Avenue or Andrew Higgins Drive.

Ready to take your fan group to the Superdome without fighting for parking on Poydras Street? Charter buses drop off on the Poydras Street corridor near the main gates of Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112) — and then relocate to the Champions Square surface lots while you're inside. Rideshare pickup after the game is on Girod Street, a completely different location, which means the group that arrived by bus leaves together, faster, with no 25-minute walk to a remote lot.
New Orleans Pelicans games at Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113) follow the same pattern — bus drop-off on Dave Dixon Drive, staging in the Superdome complex, and a clean pickup when the final buzzer sounds.

Full-size motorcoaches have limited access on the narrow interior streets of the French Quarter — the historic grid inside Decatur, Canal, Rampart, and Esplanade. Large buses generally drop off and stage on wider perimeter streets rather than driving through the Quarter's interior blocks. A minibus has significantly more flexibility on Quarter streets and is usually the better choice for events deep inside the Quarter.
Mention your destination when you request your quote so the right vehicle is matched to your itinerary.
Charter buses drop off on the Poydras Street corridor near the main gates of Caesars Superdome. There is no permanent on-site charter bus parking lot — buses relocate after drop-off to the Champions Square surface lots or the Benson Tower garage area (1450 Poydras St). Road closures on Poydras Street, LaSalle Street, and Girod Street are common on Saints game days, Sugar Bowl weekend, and during Essence Festival.
Rideshare pickup after events is on Girod Street, a different location from charter bus drop-off. Confirm current event-day traffic advisories on NOLA.gov before your visit, since road assignments shift by event.
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is held at Fair Grounds Race Course (1751 Gentilly Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70119). Charter bus drop-off is on Gentilly Boulevard near the main entrance. There is no on-site charter bus parking — buses stage on Gentilly Boulevard or nearby surface streets and return for pickup at a pre-arranged time.
Jazz Fest draws approximately 70,000 attendees per day across two weekends (typically the last weekend of April and first weekend of May), and rideshare surge pricing around the Fair Grounds is significant. A bus keeps your group together and avoids the post-set scramble entirely. Book four to six months out for Jazz Fest weekend.
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is approximately 15 miles from the French Quarter via I-10 eastbound — a 25 to 40-minute ride depending on traffic. The I-10 corridor through Metairie is one of the more congested stretches in the metro, especially during morning and evening peak hours and on Mardi Gras parade days when the interstate becomes a parking lot. Build at least 30 minutes of buffer on top of the drive time for group boarding and baggage.
Charter bus pickup at MSY is on the Lower Level Arrivals curb in the commercial vehicle zones — confirm your exact zone with your booking when you reserve.
Yes. The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the longest bridge over water in the world at 24 miles, connecting Metairie to Mandeville and the St. Tammany Parish communities of Covington, Madisonville, and beyond. Charter buses travel the causeway regularly for corporate retreats, religious group trips, wedding events, and sporting travel.
The causeway toll for large vehicles applies when traveling to North Shore venues; confirm current requirements before the trip. The North Shore is approximately 35 to 50 minutes from downtown New Orleans via the causeway, depending on traffic at the Metairie approach. Fill out the form or call 228-351-4630 to find a bus for your North Shore trip!
Mardi Gras is the single busiest transportation period in New Orleans — Mardi Gras 2027 falls on February 9, 2027, with major parade season beginning in mid-to-late January. Book six to twelve months out for Mardi Gras weekend. Essence Festival 2027 (typically the July 4th weekend at Caesars Superdome) and Jazz Fest 2027 (last weekend of April and first weekend of May at the Fair Grounds) both require four to six months of lead time.
The Bayou Classic (Thanksgiving weekend, Caesars Superdome) and the Sugar Bowl (January 15, 2027) are also high-demand dates. Prom season in April and May fills party buses and minibuses across Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, and St. Bernard parishes fast. For most other events, booking two to four months out is workable — but the earlier you compare, the better your options and your price.
For most New Orleans trips, book at least two to four months in advance to get the best vehicle selection and pricing. For Mardi Gras, book six to twelve months out — availability disappears faster than you'd expect for the biggest party in America. Jazz Fest, Essence Festival, the Sugar Bowl, the Bayou Classic, and prom season all require four to six months of lead time.
Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates and fewer choices. Call 228-351-4630 right now to lock in your date — the earlier you compare, the better your options!
