Party Bus in New Orleans has been coordinating group transportation across South Louisiana since 2011 — and the 80-mile run up I-10 to Baton Rouge is one of our most-requested routes. Whether your group is 10 people or 56, we match you with the right vehicle from our fleet: compact Sprinter vans for executive airport pickups at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR), 15- to 20-passenger party buses for a Saturday night out on Third Street, or full 56-passenger charter buses for a stadium-scale crew heading to an LSU home game.
Every quote is all-inclusive and available online in under 30 seconds — the price you see is the price you pay, with zero surprises. Our reservation team is available 24/7/365, so whether you're planning a Mardi Gras weekend well in advance or calling the morning of a last-minute crawl, someone picks up. Hundreds of Baton Rouge groups have used Party Bus in New Orleans for proms in the Zachary and Denham Springs school districts, Saints watch parties, corporate shuttles between the Essen Lane corridor and downtown hotels, and LSU graduation weekends that close every available vehicle inside 30 days.
We offer a massive variety of vehicles, meaning you never have to pay for seats you do not actually need. Call 504-497-9530 any time for a free quote — or use our online tool for instant availability.
Our fleet covers every group size in Baton Rouge: 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know before your departure date.
For groups wanting a night out on Third Street or a crawl through the Mid City bar scene, our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come loaded with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, and an open dance area — the ride itself becomes part of the celebration. Executive Sprinter vans and 14-passenger Sprinter limos handle corporate pickups and small wedding-party transfers with premium leather seating, USB charging at every seat, and tinted privacy windows. Full-size charter buses bring reclining seats, climate control to handle Louisiana heat, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays — built for school field trips to the Baton Rouge Zoo, long-haul trips down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras season, or large conventions at the Baton Rouge River Center.

Party Bus in New Orleans offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact price before you ever book. Our Baton Rouge party bus and charter bus rental prices: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Pricing depends on mileage, time of year, and vehicle type — an LSU home-game weekend prices differently from a Tuesday corporate transfer, and the I-10 run from New Orleans adds mileage to any quote.

Booking a party bus rental in Baton Rouge is easy with Party Bus in New Orleans. We have over 15 years coordinating group transportation across Louisiana, which means we know what actually happens on game day near Tiger Stadium — when Nicholson Drive locks up two hours before kickoff, when the I-10/I-110 interchange backs up all the way to the Essen Lane exit, and why the drop-off window on North Stadium Drive closes long before the gates open. That kind of working knowledge is what separates a smooth group trip from a parking lot nightmare.
Every booking comes with exact, all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds, a 24/7/365 reservation team, and ADA-accessible vehicles always available upon request. We offer a massive variety of vehicles, so your 12-person bachelorette crew and your 50-person corporate outing never pay for seats they do not need. Since 2011, Party Bus in New Orleans has moved thousands of groups through South Louisiana without a single hidden cost surprise — school trips, LSU graduation weekends, Mardi Gras shuttle circuits, wedding guest loops between the venues on the Garden District corridor, and late-night bar crawls through Spanish Town.
The same reliability that keeps New Orleans groups coming back is exactly what Baton Rouge groups get. Call 504-497-9530 any time for a detailed, no-obligation quote in minutes!
Party Bus in New Orleans coordinates group transportation for every occasion across the Baton Rouge metro and beyond — from BTR airport shuttles and LSU sporting events to wedding shuttles, prom nights, corporate transfers, and bar crawls through the Third Street corridor. Whatever brings your group together, we have a vehicle and a plan ready.
Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) (9430 Jackie Cochran Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70807) sits about eight miles southwest of downtown off I-110, and while it is a manageable airport for individuals, coordinating a multi-person group pickup across multiple arriving flights is where things get complicated fast. Rideshare cars circle the short-term lot in front of the terminal, and surge pricing spikes reliably on Friday afternoons and on arrival days before LSU home games.
A Baton Rouge airport shuttle bus rental through Party Bus in New Orleans keeps your whole group together. Have your coordinator call us once the last bag is claimed at the single baggage carousel — we wait nearby and pull curbside to the Ground Transportation zone on the terminal's east curb so nobody is standing in the South Louisiana heat. For convention groups flying in for events at the Baton Rouge River Center (100 St Philip St, Baton Rouge, LA 70801), a direct transfer is about 12 minutes down I-110 North.
We also coordinate BTR pickups for cruise groups heading to New Orleans' cruise terminal — your luggage rides in the undercarriage bays, not on your lap. Call 504-497-9530 to book your Baton Rouge airport transfer today.
Baton Rouge's nightlife corridor along Third Street downtown, the bars and live music venues near the LSU campus on Tigerland, and the rooftop spots in Mid City all make for excellent bachelorette itineraries — the problem is that parking is brutal on weekends near downtown and nearly nonexistent near the LSU campus perimeter. Trying to coordinate five cars, a designated driver rotation, and a group of 20 people moving from bar to bar across three neighborhoods is how a bachelorette party becomes a logistics exercise instead of a celebration.
A Baton Rouge bachelorette party bus rental through Party Bus in New Orleans handles the route. Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and flat-panel TVs — no drawing straws for who has to stay sober, no $70 surge rides at 2 a.m. Start at Ollie's Pub in Mid City, work through the downtown Third Street corridor, and end up in Tigerland without anyone behind the wheel.
Tell us your stops and we'll plan the route. Call 504-497-9530 now!
Baton Rouge has no shortage of milestone celebration venues — from quinceañera halls along Airline Highway in Metairie-style community spaces to event venues like The Loft at 725 (725 St Ferdinand St, Baton Rouge, LA 70802) and Venue of the Arts for Sweet 16 and birthday celebrations. A party bus arrival is one of the most memorable entrances a guest of honor can make, and our 15- to 50-passenger party buses can be pre-loaded with a custom playlist and coordinated with your color theme.
For adult milestone birthdays taking the group out through the Third Street bar district or heading down I-10 to the French Quarter for a New Orleans birthday weekend, a Baton Rouge birthday party bus rental keeps everyone together and nobody behind the wheel. Instead of asking guests to navigate unfamiliar downtown one-way streets or pay $30 to park near the riverfront, one bus handles pickup, navigation, and drop-off across Baton Rouge and the greater surrounding area. Call 504-497-9530 any time to plan your Baton Rouge birthday celebration!
Baton Rouge's concert circuit runs the full range — from stadium-scale shows at Tiger Stadium (900 W Chimes St, Baton Rouge, LA 70803) to theater nights at the Raising Cane's River Center Arena (100 St Philip St, Baton Rouge, LA 70801) and outdoor festivals at Live After Five on the North Boulevard Town Square. When a sold-out arena show lets out onto the riverfront, Riverside Drive backs up quickly and rideshare prices surge 2–3x within 20 minutes of the encore.
A Baton Rouge concert bus rental takes your group straight to the venue entrance and picks everyone up at an agreed window after the last song — no hunting for your car in the River Center garage, no $40 Uber surge, no splitting the group across three apps. For outdoor festivals like Live After Five, a party bus drops your crew at North Boulevard and returns when you call. The built-in bar and premium sound system mean the pregame starts the moment you board, not when you find parking.
Call 504-497-9530 for a Baton Rouge concert party bus rental quote!
Baton Rouge's business corridor runs from the ExxonMobil campus in north Baton Rouge south through the Essen Lane office park to the petrochemical corridor along the River Road — and none of those campuses are close to each other, or to the downtown hotels near the Baton Rouge River Center. When your team is shuttling executives between a conference at River Center and hotel blocks along Bluebonnet Boulevard, or moving a client group from the airport to a client dinner in the Garden District, the last thing anyone wants is a caravan of rental cars navigating the I-110 interchange during afternoon rush.
A Baton Rouge corporate bus rental from Party Bus in New Orleans keeps your team together and on schedule. Executive Sprinter vans give your group a polished look with leather seating, individual climate control, and WiFi for working en route. Full-size charter buses with power outlets and overhead storage handle large delegations heading to the LSU AgCenter or a multi-day conference at the Marriott on Florida Boulevard.
Call 504-497-9530 to discuss Baton Rouge corporate shuttle rates and recurring route options.
Baton Rouge's biggest private event months are the full calendar — the Baton Rouge Blues Festival in April draws tens of thousands to the North Boulevard Town Square, the Mid City Gras parade routes through Mid City neighborhoods in February and March, and the Louisiana Pride Festival brings crowds to Repentance Park. On those weekends, downtown Baton Rouge parking fills by noon, the one-way grid near River Road becomes impassable for newcomers, and rideshare pricing climbs steadily through the afternoon.
A private charter bus rental in Baton Rouge keeps your entire group on one vehicle and on one flat rate, regardless of what surge pricing is doing on other apps. Family reunions traveling between multiple Baton Rouge neighborhoods in a single day, church retreats heading out to the Atchafalaya Basin, or corporate holiday parties splitting between a downtown venue and a Garden District restaurant — one bus keeps everyone together and cuts out the parking scramble entirely. Call 504-497-9530 and we will build a custom transportation plan built around your group's needs.
Prom season across the Baton Rouge metro — Zachary High School, Central High School, Denham Springs High, Catholic High, and the Livingston Parish schools — runs from late April through mid-May, and every major school in EBR Parish and surrounding districts holds their prom within the same compressed window. Demand for party buses in Baton Rouge spikes harder during those six weeks than at any other point in the year. For prom: book by January or expect premium pricing or no availability.
A typical 6-hour prom rental for 30 students — school pickup, a pre-prom photo stop at the Louisiana State Capitol grounds, venue drop-off at a Baton Rouge hotel ballroom, and an after-party return — costs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive when booked 4–6 months early, but $2,800–$3,500+ when booked last-minute. Party Bus in New Orleans works with parent committees and student groups across the Baton Rouge metro to provide prom transportation tailored to the itinerary, amenities and all. Call 504-497-9530 today to secure your date before the window closes.
Teachers and school administrators across East Baton Rouge Parish trust Party Bus in New Orleans for group field trip coordination. The Louisiana Art & Science Museum (100 River Rd S, Baton Rouge, LA 70801) sits on the Riverfront just past the Old Governor's Mansion, with designated school bus drop-off on River Road South — plan for the narrow one-way approach and limited time at curbside. The Baton Rouge Zoo (3601 Thomas Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70807) in the Greenwood area handles school groups at a dedicated entrance off Thomas Road, with bus parking available on the gravel lot adjacent to the main gate.
Charter buses offer real comfort advantages over standard yellow school buses for longer trips — climate control for Louisiana heat, TV monitors and DVD players for educational content en route, overhead storage for lunchboxes, and undercarriage bays for equipment. For field trips to Poverty Point World Heritage Site or the LSU Rural Life Museum (4560 Essen Ln, Baton Rouge, LA 70809), the longer drive justifies a full-size charter bus with an onboard restroom. ADA-accessible buses are always available — just let us know ahead of time.
Call 504-497-9530 for school field trip bus rentals in Baton Rouge!
LSU home Saturdays at Tiger Stadium (900 W Chimes St, Baton Rouge, LA 70803) are legendary for exactly two things: the atmosphere inside Death Valley and the complete gridlock outside it. Nicholson Drive shuts to through traffic from the southwest side, North Stadium Drive closes for pedestrian flow, and the I-10/I-110 interchange backs up past the Essen Lane exit on major matchups against Alabama or Georgia. Parking lots on the LSU campus fill 4–5 hours before kickoff on SEC rivalry games, and tailgate spots in the Tiger Stadium overflow areas sell out within weeks of those game announcements.
A Baton Rouge charter bus rental changes how your group experiences the whole day. The tailgate starts on the bus, everyone rides together, and there is no designated driver rotation or post-game scramble for the car. Drop-off for charter buses uses the designated zone on West Chimes Street off the stadium's north side — steps from Gate 1 — while rideshare pickups are pushed to the remote consolidated zone near the Pete Maravich Assembly Center parking deck, a 15-minute walk after a four-hour game.
For LSU basketball at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center (N Stadium Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70803), a minibus rental handles your crew directly to the arena's east entrance. Call 504-497-9530 to book your Baton Rouge sporting event bus today!
Baton Rouge's wedding circuit runs from the antebellum plantation venues on the River Road — Nottoway Plantation in White Castle (30955 LA-1, White Castle, LA 70788) and Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie — to downtown venues like The Olde Town Prairieville Barn and in-city spaces along the Spanish Town corridor. When your ceremony is at a River Road plantation and the reception is in downtown Baton Rouge, you're asking guests to navigate a dark, winding stretch of LA-1 after an open bar. Nobody should be doing that.
A Baton Rouge wedding shuttle from Party Bus in New Orleans solves the logistics completely. We operate a seamless loop from your hotel block — whether that's in the Marriott on the riverfront or a home rental in the Garden District — to the ceremony venue and back, keeping guests from walking blocks in formalwear and heels through Louisiana summer heat. Because Party Bus in New Orleans has been coordinating group transportation since 2011, your wedding timeline stays tight with clear pickup windows and a single point of contact from first quote to final drop-off.
Call 504-497-9530 for a free wedding transportation quote!
Baton Rouge's craft beer and local winery scene has grown significantly along the I-10 corridor and in the Mid City neighborhood — and it is worth a dedicated afternoon to explore. Cypress Coast Craft Beer Bar on Government Street, Tin Roof Brewing Company (1624 Wyoming St, Baton Rouge, LA 70802) with its sprawling outdoor patio off Government Street, and Cane Land Distilling Company (800 Florida St, Baton Rouge, LA 70801) in the downtown arts corridor make for a natural circuit. Add a stop at Elsie's Plate & Pie for Louisiana cuisine between pours and the afternoon writes itself.
The problem is that these spots are spread across neighborhoods with limited parking and — in the case of Tin Roof — no realistic way to drive between them safely after a few rounds. A Baton Rouge pub crawl party bus rental keeps your group together for every stop. No dividing into multiple cars, no hunting for street parking on Government Street, no debate at last call about who is sober enough to drive.
Your group stays on one vehicle, moves on your schedule, and everyone gets home at the end of the night. Call 504-497-9530 for a free quote on Baton Rouge winery tour transportation!

Loved every minute of it. The reservation process was quick and the people were genuinely kind and helpful. The bus was clean and spacious enough that nobody felt cramped, and the vibe inside was perfect. We didn't have to think about parking or directions, just enjoyed ourselves. It turned an ordinary outing into something memorable. I'll be a repeat customer for sure.

Top-notch experience. From booking to drop-off everything ran like clockwork. The bus was comfortable, the inside looked sharp, and our group of fourteen had plenty of space. They were on time and easy to reach whenever I needed them. The whole night went off without a single problem. It was the smoothest group outing I've ever organized. Highly recommend to anyone.
Saoirse H.
We had the best time and a huge part of that was how stress-free the whole thing was. The booking took minutes, the confirmation came fast, and the bus arrived right on schedule. The interior was clean and comfortable and the music made it feel like a real celebration. Cruising around together was such a treat. I'd absolutely book them again for our next event.
Beckett O.
Couldn't have been happier with how it all went. The team was upfront about pricing, flexible with our plans, and the bus itself was a great time. We packed eleven people on and everyone had room to relax and have fun. They got us where we needed to be on time and were waiting when we were ready to head home. Easy, fun, and worth it.
Baton Rouge party bus rental prices vary based on vehicle size, the date, and how long you need the bus. Our current price ranges: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. LSU home game weekends, Mardi Gras season, and prom season (April–May) drive pricing toward the higher end of those ranges.
The fastest way to get an accurate number for your specific date and itinerary is to call 504-497-9530 — we give you all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds with no hidden costs.
Charter buses serving Tiger Stadium drop off on West Chimes Street on the north side of the stadium, within easy walking distance of Gate 1. On major SEC game days — Alabama, Georgia, and Florida matchups especially — North Stadium Drive and Nicholson Drive close to through traffic hours before kickoff, so the West Chimes approach from the north on Dalrymple Drive is the reliable route. All stadium-adjacent parking requires pre-purchased passes; none are sold on site for premium lots.
Rideshare pickup after games is consolidated near the Pete Maravich Assembly Center parking deck — a significant walk from the stadium gates. We always recommend checking LSU's official stadium transportation page before game day for current road closure schedules.
Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) (9430 Jackie Cochran Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70807) has a single terminal with baggage claim on the ground level. Charter buses wait in the designated Ground Transportation zone on the east curbside at the terminal exit. Once your entire group has collected luggage and assembled at the terminal doors, have your group coordinator call us — we move from the waiting area to the curbside pickup lane, and MIA-style baggage delays are not a factor here since BTR is a compact operation.
Do not call for the bus until your full group is together with bags in hand — timing at a smaller airport like BTR is tighter than at a major hub. If you're coordinating multiple arriving flights, designate the baggage carousel as the meeting point and call when the last person clears. Review the official BTR ground transportation page before your group lands.
Three periods in Baton Rouge drive party bus demand into short supply. LSU football season (September through January for bowl games) is the single busiest stretch — particularly for home SEC rivalry games, when groups book 6–8 weeks out and weekend vehicles go first. Prom season (late April through mid-May) compresses demand from every school district in EBR, Livingston, and Ascension parishes into a six-week window — book by January for prom.
Mardi Gras season (February) drives groups heading down I-10 to New Orleans as well as local Mid City parade groups, and vehicles serving both cities simultaneously limit supply across the board. Outside those peaks, 2–4 weeks' notice is generally workable for most events.
Absolutely — the I-10 run between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, roughly 80 miles and about 90 minutes in normal traffic, is one of our most common multi-city routes. Groups book this run for Saints games at Caesars Superdome, French Quarter Fest in April, Mardi Gras parade circuits, Jazz Fest in late April and early May, Essence Festival in July, and bachelorette groups heading to Bourbon Street for the night. The charter bus handles the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway and I-10 interchange traffic while your group focuses on the pregame — and there's no hunting for parking on Canal Street when you arrive.
One bus, one flat rate, everyone together. Call 504-497-9530 to set up your Baton Rouge–New Orleans run.
We recommend booking your Baton Rouge party bus at least three to six months in advance for peak-season dates — LSU home games against ranked opponents, prom (late April–May), Mardi Gras season (February), and graduation weekends at LSU and Southern University in May. For most other dates outside those windows, two to four weeks is workable. The rule of thumb: lock in the bus the moment your headcount is confirmed.
Vehicles available in March for an April prom date are frequently gone by February. For standard weekend reservations during the regular LSU football season, 30 days is the minimum we'd recommend. Call 504-497-9530 now to check availability for your date!
A Baton Rouge party bus itinerary can take your group anywhere across the Capital City and beyond. Here are six destinations where groups consistently use bus rentals in Baton Rouge — with the local logistics details that matter for each one.
Tiger Stadium (900 W Chimes St, Baton Rouge, LA 70803) seats 102,321 and consistently ranks among the loudest venues in college football — Saturday night games under the lights are a national event on their own. For the biggest home matchups, parking lots on the LSU campus open at 7 a.m. and the premium zones fill by noon, with tailgaters covering every inch of the Parade Ground and the lots east of Nicholson Drive. Road closures begin roughly three hours before kickoff.
Rideshare pickup consolidates near the PMAC deck post-game, a 12- to 15-minute walk from the north gates. Drop-off by charter bus uses West Chimes Street at Gate 1 on the stadium's north side. We highly recommend reviewing LSU's official transportation guide before your visit.
Address: 900 W Chimes St, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 | Phone: (225) 578-4149
The Raising Cane's River Center complex (100 St Philip St, Baton Rouge, LA 70801) on the Mississippi Riverfront houses a 8,000-seat arena, a convention center, and an exhibition hall — making it the epicenter of Baton Rouge's large-event calendar for concerts, trade shows, and LSU basketball when capacity demands overflow. The arena hosts touring artists and Pelicans preseason games, and the convention center's loading zones on St Philip Street accommodate commercial charter bus drop-off with short turnaround windows. On event nights, the parking garages beneath the complex fill quickly, and Riverside Drive slows to a crawl from the I-110 ramps northward.
A party bus in Baton Rouge drops your group steps from the arena entrance on St Philip and waits on the riverfront loop. Address: 100 St Philip St, Baton Rouge, LA 70801 | Phone: (225) 389-3030
The Louisiana State Capitol (900 N 3rd St, Baton Rouge, LA 70802) is the tallest state capitol building in the United States at 450 feet, open to the public for tours with panoramic observation deck views of the Mississippi River and the Baton Rouge skyline. The capitol grounds are a popular stop for school field trips, political event groups, and out-of-town visitors combining a day trip with a visit to the Old State Capitol on North Boulevard. Tour groups arrive via North 3rd Street, with bus loading zones on the north side of the capitol grounds.
The grounds connect directly to the Capitol Park Museum (660 N 4th St) for a second stop without moving the bus. An excellent half-day anchor for school field trips or civic tourism groups. Address: 900 N 3rd St, Baton Rouge, LA 70802 | Phone: (225) 342-7317
Tin Roof Brewing Company (1624 Wyoming St, Baton Rouge, LA 70802) is the capital city's flagship craft brewery, operating out of a converted warehouse a few blocks off Government Street with a large covered outdoor biergarten that hosts live music and food trucks on weekend evenings. The taproom pours 20+ Tin Roof taps alongside guest beers and Louisiana craft selections, with the capacity for large group buyouts and private events. Street parking on Wyoming Street and the surrounding Mid City grid is limited on weekend evenings when live music draws neighborhood crowds.
For brewery tour groups, a party bus drops your crew at the Tin Roof entrance and waits on a nearby side street while you enjoy the tasting — no parking strategy required, no one behind the wheel for the drive home. Easily combined with Cane Land Distilling and Cypress Coast into a full Mid City circuit. Address: 1624 Wyoming St, Baton Rouge, LA 70802 | Phone: (225) 272-2537
The Baton Rouge Zoo (3601 Thomas Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70807) spans 140 acres in the Greenwood area of north Baton Rouge, housing more than 1,800 animals across 440 species including white rhinos, giraffes, and Louisiana black bears. The zoo is one of the most common destinations for school field trips from EBR Parish and surrounding districts, with a dedicated school group entrance off Thomas Road and pre-arranged bus parking on the gravel lot adjacent to the main gate. Field-trip groups should book their educational programs at least three weeks in advance; the zoo's education department coordinates bus staging for large grade-level trips.
Bring a cooler in the undercarriage bays for lunches — the outdoor picnic pavilion near the carousel is the designated group dining area. Address: 3601 Thomas Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70807 | Phone: (225) 775-3877
The LSU Rural Life Museum (4560 Essen Ln, Baton Rouge, LA 70809) is a 25-acre outdoor history museum on the south end of the LSU campus showcasing antebellum Louisiana plantation life, with a working farm, 30+ historic structures, and folk art collections — open Monday through Friday and by appointment on weekends. It doubles as one of Baton Rouge's most distinctive wedding and private event venues, with the Barn at Rural Life Museum accommodating receptions of up to 400 guests. Wedding groups regularly book a minibus rental to shuttle guests between downtown hotel blocks on Bluebonnet Boulevard and the museum's Essen Lane entrance, where the winding approach road and limited surface parking make self-driving a genuine headache on event nights.
School groups pay $6 per student with advance reservation through LSU's outreach office. Address: 4560 Essen Ln, Baton Rouge, LA 70809 | Phone: (225) 765-2437
