New Orleans School Event & Field Trip Bus Rentals

Partybusinneworleans.com helps you compare bus rental options; it is not the bus company and does not rent, own, or operate vehicles. When you submit the quote form, your trip details go through a booking company so you can review pricing and available vehicles for your date. You compare the options and book through the process shown with your quote.

Partybusinneworleans.com is a comparison website — not a bus company. Fill out one quick form with your trip date, group size, and destination, and you'll see vehicle options and rates from transportation providers serving the New Orleans area. No account required, no obligation, and pricing comes back in about a minute.

If you'd rather talk it through, call 504-497-9530 any time.

You describe your trip once — headcount, pickup location, destination, date — and the site returns available vehicle options from providers in the network. Compare sizes, amenities, and rates side by side, then choose the option that fits and book with that provider. The whole process replaces the old approach of calling multiple companies separately and waiting on callbacks that may never come.

One form, one call, done.

It depends on your headcount and how much gear you're moving. A single classroom of 25–30 students plus a few chaperones fits into a minibus, which also handles the narrower streets near Audubon Zoo and City Park more easily than a full coach. For a multi-grade trip or a group with equipment — band instruments, science fair displays — a charter bus with undercarriage storage is the better fit.

Compare both on this site.

The Audubon Aquarium (1 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70130) sits at the foot of Canal Street along the Mississippi riverfront. Large group arrivals typically use Canal Street curbside or Convention Center Boulevard for drop-off. The riverfront area has limited dedicated bus parking, so it's worth confirming access with the aquarium's group sales team in advance. Partybusinneworleans.com recommends checking directly with the aquarium's group reservations page before your visit date.

For standard field trips on a weekday, two to four weeks of lead time is workable through the network. For high-demand dates — Mardi Gras week, Jazz Fest weekends in late April and early May, and prom season in April–May — book two to three months out. During those windows, vehicle availability across the metro tightens significantly, and rates rise as options thin.

The earlier you lock in your date, the better your vehicle selection and pricing.

Yes, and first-timers are often caught off guard. The French Quarter is largely inaccessible to full-size charter buses due to narrow one-way streets and weight restrictions on many blocks. Drop-off for groups visiting French Quarter sites — the Cabildo, the Historic New Orleans Collection, or Jackson Square — typically works best from Canal Street, Decatur Street, or Rampart Street at the Quarter's perimeter, with the group walking in from there.

A minibus handles the surrounding streets more flexibly than a 45-foot coach.

Yes. Multi-day itineraries — a three-day trip to Washington, D.C., a two-day science camp in Abita Springs, or an overnight academic competition in Baton Rouge — are available through the network. When you fill out the quote form or call 504-497-9530, just include the full trip duration and itinerary in your details.

Per-day pricing ranges vary by vehicle; a New Orleans bus pricing overview gives you a useful planning baseline before you request your quote.
