How much does a school charter bus rental cost in New Orleans?

The cost of your New Orleans charter bus depends on the vehicle size you choose, your trip duration, mileage, and the time of year. Spring field trip season in April and May, Mardi Gras parades, and fall football weekends are peak dates in NOLA, so locking in your bus early helps you get the best rate! Because multiple independent bus operators in our network compete for your school's business, you never have to settle for one fleet's high pricing. Fill out our 30-second form with no account needed, or call (504) 459-0880 to ask about below-minimum phone deals!

What amenities are available on New Orleans field trip charter buses?

Unlike traditional yellow school buses, charter buses and minibuses in our network can come equipped with icy-cold A/C for humid Louisiana afternoons, cushioned reclining seats, seat belts, onboard WiFi, individual power outlets, PA systems for chaperone announcements, and flatscreen TVs with DVD players! Full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches also include an onboard restroom and large under-bus luggage bays for band instruments, coolers, and overnight bags. If you need an ADA-accessible bus with a wheelchair lift, just let the 365-day support team know when you request your quote!

Does Charterbusneworleans.com own the buses in New Orleans?

No, and that's the whole point!
