More About The 18 Passenger Party Bus
The 18-passenger party bus sits squarely between a stretched limousine and a full minibus — roomy enough for a solid group, nimble enough to navigate the narrow blocks of the Warehouse District or pull up curbside on St. Charles Avenue without any trouble. These buses seat up to 18 passengers with perimeter-style wraparound seating, leaving an open center aisle where the energy tends to build fast. They're a common pick for birthday groups heading to Bourbon Street bars, bridal parties making the rounds through the Garden District, and corporate happy-hour shuttles running between downtown hotels and Riverwalk venues.
One vehicle, everyone together, no coordination headaches.

Amenities On Our 18 Passenger Party Bus
Step aboard and you'll find color-changing LED lighting that syncs to whatever mood the night calls for, a premium Bluetooth sound system so your playlist runs start to finish, and flat-panel TVs for pre-game highlights or a countdown reel on the way to the party. The built-in bar setup is the centerpiece for most New Orleans groups — stock it before you board and let the bus take care of the rest while you ride down Magazine Street. Climate control keeps the Louisiana heat outside where it belongs, and USB charging ports mean nobody's phone dies before the second stop on your bar crawl.

How much does an 18 Passenger Party Bus cost in New Orleans?
A New Orleans 18-passenger party bus rental runs $266–$330+ per hour on weekdays and $268–$378+ per hour on weekends, with day rates starting at $2,121–$2,563+ for full-day bookings. Where your quote lands within those ranges depends on a few clear factors: weekend evenings during Jazz Fest in late April or Essence Fest in early July push rates toward the top of the range, while a Tuesday afternoon run stays closer to the floor. The more hours you book, the more competitive the per-hour figure becomes.
Distance also shapes the total — a French Quarter loop is a different ticket than a round trip out to Lakefront Arena in Gentilly. Call 504-758-3591 for an exact quote based on your date and itinerary.
