40-56 Passenger Charter Bus Rental
When your group is too big for a minibus and the itinerary is too ambitious to split across multiple vehicles, a New Orleans charter bus rental is the answer. Our 40-56 passenger charter buses are built for exactly the trips that need serious capacity — convention shuttles between the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and the hotels along Canal Street, field trips crossing the Crescent City Connection onto the West Bank, and Mardi Gras group runs when I-10 turns into a parking lot for everyone who tried to drive. Call 504-758-3591 or use our 30-second online quote tool to get an all-inclusive price for your New Orleans charter bus today.

More About The 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Full-size charter buses in our New Orleans fleet include well-known makes such as MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and TEMSA. A Prevost H3-45 seats up to 56 passengers and carries 470 cubic feet of underfloor luggage space — enough for a full band's equipment heading to Jazz Fest at Fair Grounds Race Course, or coolers and folding chairs for a tailgate caravan to Caesars Superdome. An MCI J4500 brings high-back reclining seats and 595 cubic feet of undercarriage bay space, which makes the longer hauls — out to Baton Rouge on I-10, or down to the Gulf Coast for a conference retreat — genuinely comfortable rather than something your group just endures.
One bus, one flat rate, and everyone arrives together.

Amenities On Our 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
A New Orleans charter bus in this class comes with reclining seats, climate control that takes the August heat seriously, overhead parcel racks, a PA system, WiFi, individual power outlets, and an onboard restroom — a real advantage when the route runs 90 minutes each way and rest stops between here and Lafayette are few. Depending on the model, expect either panoramic frameless windows and two 110V outlets at every seat, or indirect LED ceiling lighting and TV monitors with a DVD player overhead. Undercarriage bays swallow cruise luggage heading to New Orleans Cruise Terminal at the Port of New Orleans (1100 Port of New Orleans Place), presentation gear for a Superdome convention, and everything a group of 50 needs for a Jazz Fest weekend without a single bag in anyone's lap.

How much does a 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus cost in New Orleans?
A 40-56 passenger charter bus rental in New Orleans runs $158–$327+ per hour on weekdays and $162–$348+ per hour on weekends, with day rates ranging from $1,331–$2,841+ per day for longer or multi-stop itineraries. What moves your quote within those ranges? Total hours booked matters most — a six-hour Jazz Fest shuttle that includes load time, the drive to Mid-City, and a staged post-set pickup prices differently than a two-hour airport transfer.
Weekends consistently run higher than weekdays, and peak-season dates like Mardi Gras (February), Jazz Fest (late April through early May), and Essence Fest (July 4th weekend) push rates toward the top of the range because demand across the entire metro spikes at once. Distance is also a factor: a round trip from the French Quarter to a Baton Rouge corporate campus pulls more hours than a convention center shuttle loop. Call 504-758-3591 for a no-obligation all-inclusive quote — you will know the exact price before you ever commit.
