Metairie sits right on the doorstep of New Orleans — which means your group is never more than a short ride from a Saints game at the Caesars Superdome, a Mardi Gras parade route, or a night crawling the French Quarter. Party Bus Mobile makes it easy to book a bus in Metairie with all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds. Call 251-304-5593 or use our online quote tool to lock in your date today!

Party Bus Mobile has been handling group transportation across the Greater New Orleans metro since 2011 — and in that time, we've taken care of everything from corporate shuttles between the Metairie Road hotel corridor and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center to sprawling Mardi Gras group rides through Uptown and Mid-City. We know that Jefferson Parish traffic on Veterans Memorial Boulevard at 5 p.m. is a different animal than a Tuesday morning, and that the Causeway can back up without warning on a parade day. That local knowledge shapes every itinerary we plan.
Our 24/7 reservation team is one call away regardless of when your group needs to move. We offer all-inclusive pricing with zero surprises — you'll see the exact number before you ever confirm the booking. From a compact Sprinter van for an executive airport run to a 56-passenger charter bus hauling a full school group to the Audubon Zoo, there's a vehicle in our fleet sized for what you actually need.
Call 251-304-5593 any time and we'll get your Metairie group on the road.
Our fleet covers every group size: 14-passenger Sprinter limos, Sprinter vans, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. Whatever your headcount, there's a vehicle that fits — so you never pay for empty seats. Browse the full fleet or call 251-304-5593 for instant availability.
For a bachelorette crawl through Frenchmen Street or a birthday run to Harrah's, our 15- to 50-passenger party buses deliver a full-length bar, color-changing LED cabin lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating with an open area to move around. Executive Sprinter vans and 14-passenger Sprinter limos handle airport runs and bridal party pickups with premium leather seating, USB charging at every seat, and tinted privacy glass. Full-size charter buses add reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, an onboard restroom, and large undercarriage luggage bays — perfect for equipment, crawfish coolers, or convention materials.

Party Bus Mobile offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you'll know the exact number before you book. Metairie party bus and charter bus rates run as follows: 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 shifts based on mileage, time of year, and vehicle type — but there are no hidden costs. Mardi Gras season (January–March), Jazz Fest weekends (late April–early May), and Essence Festival (Fourth of July weekend) are peak demand windows where rates run higher and availability tightens weeks in advance. Lock in early for those dates.

Booking a Metairie party bus rental is easy with Party Bus Mobile. Since 2011 we've handled thousands of group trips across Jefferson and Orleans parishes — Saints tailgates, Tulane graduation shuttles, quinceañeras in Kenner, crawfish festival runs to Breaux Bridge, and everything in between. That track record means your itinerary has already been stress-tested, and our 24/7 reservation team knows how to route around parade closures on Veterans Memorial Boulevard, construction backups on I-10 near the Orleans–Jefferson line, and the post-concert scrum on Poydras Street.
What you get when you book with us: exact pricing in under 30 seconds, a reservation team reachable any hour of the day, and a fleet that covers every group from a handful of executives to a 56-seat busload of school chaperones. Imagine skipping the parking-garage search on Canal Street during a sold-out show, or not drawing straws for who stays sober at Jazz Fest — we handle the logistics so your group handles the fun. ADA-accessible vehicles are always on hand; just let us know ahead of your departure date.
Call 251-304-5593 for a no-obligation quote in minutes.
Party Bus Mobile handles group transportation for every occasion across the Metairie and Greater New Orleans area — airport transfers, wedding shuttles, sporting events, prom nights, corporate rides, pub crawls, and more. Whatever brings your group together, there's a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 251-304-5593 to get moving today!
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) (900 Airline Dr, Kenner, LA 70062) sits roughly 5 miles west of Metairie via I-10, but that stretch turns into a genuine crawl during peak afternoon hours and on any Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest travel day. Instead of sending your out-of-town guests into that snarl with a fleet of rideshares and zero coordination, a Metairie airport shuttle bus rental keeps every arriving guest in one vehicle, one pickup zone, one drop-off.
Commercial bus pickup at MSY operates from the ground-level transportation curb on the arrivals level — your group coordinator contacts our team once everyone has bags in hand and is assembled curbside, and the bus moves in. For departures, the bus waits at your hotel or meeting point and delivers your group to the departures level with time to spare. We also cover return runs to the airport after late-night events — because a 6 a.m. post-Jazz Fest departure with 20 people and luggage scattered across the French Quarter is exactly the kind of logistics problem a charter bus solves.
Call 251-304-5593 to book your MSY group transfer today.
Bourbon Street and Frenchmen Street have different personalities — and a good Metairie bachelorette party visits both. Start the evening with a cocktail on the rooftop at Ace Hotel (600 Carondelet St, New Orleans, LA 70130), move the crew to a drag show at Oz New Orleans (800 Bourbon St), keep going until the Spotted Cat Music Club on Frenchmen delivers the second-line finale, and get everyone back to the Metairie hotel without a single person navigating the French Quarter on foot in heels at 2 a.m.
That's the itinerary a New Orleans bachelorette party bus rental makes possible — a custom schedule, one vehicle, and no drawing straws for a designated driver. Our party buses come with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, and a sound system so the party doesn't pause between stops. Even for guests who know New Orleans, navigating one-way streets in the Marigny after midnight is its own adventure — and out-of-town guests can get turned around fast.
Let us handle the route. Call 251-304-5593 now!
A party bus entrance is one of the most memorable ways to arrive at a quinceañera or Sweet 16 in the New Orleans metro — and Metairie has no shortage of celebration venues worth arriving at in style. Whether the event is at L'Auberge de Metairie, a Kenner banquet hall, or a ballroom on the West Bank, we can coordinate a custom color scheme, pre-load your playlist, and match vehicle size to your guest list so you never pay for empty seats.
For milestone adult birthdays headed to Harrah's New Orleans (8 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70130) or a rooftop dinner in the CBD, a Metairie birthday party bus rental keeps the whole crew together instead of splitting across multiple cars and hoping everyone finds parking on a busy Saturday night. The party starts on the bus — not after the 30-minute garage hunt. Call 251-304-5593 any time to plan your celebration!
The New Orleans metro calendar is relentless — the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112) pulls stadium-level concert crowds year-round, and the Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113) packs in touring artists on back-to-back weeknights. Trying to park near either venue on a show night means circling the CBD for 45 minutes before settling on a garage on Loyola Avenue at $35 a car — then hiking back past the tailgate chaos after the encore.
A Metairie concert bus rental drops your group at the venue entrance and picks everyone up the moment the show lets out. For Jazz Fest at the Fair Grounds Race Course (1751 Gentilly Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70119), where on-site parking is a distant memory by mid-morning and the surrounding Gentilly neighborhood locks down for overflow, one bus for your crew beats four separate Ubers at 2.5x surge by a wide margin. Our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come loaded with LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and a bar setup to keep the energy going from pickup to first song.
Call 251-304-5593 for a concert bus quote!
The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (900 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70130) is one of the largest convention facilities in the country, and the hotel corridor stretching along the Metairie Road and Veterans Memorial Boulevard strip feeds thousands of attendees into it every week. Getting your staff or clients between the Metairie hotel block and the convention floor on foot — or in a grab-bag of rideshares — is the kind of variable that torpedoes a tight conference schedule.
A dedicated Metairie corporate bus rental runs a timed loop between your hotels and the convention center entrance on Convention Center Boulevard, keeps your keynote speakers on schedule, and cuts out the CBD parking headache entirely. Onboard WiFi and power outlets let your team prep for presentations during the 15-minute ride instead of staring at a parking garage ceiling. For executive VIP transfers across the metro, a Sprinter limo handles the look with individual climate control and leather throughout.
Call 251-304-5593 to discuss shuttle contracts and group rates!
Metairie is ground zero for some of the biggest private event gatherings in Louisiana. When the Krewe of Endymion or Zulu rolls through Mid-City and Jefferson Parish during Mardi Gras season, parking disappears hours before the floats start moving — and riding in a caravan of cars through the closed streets is simply not an option. A private charter bus gets your group to the parade route, keeps everyone together through the chaos of throws and crowd movement, and has a plan for the ride home after the beads settle.
For family reunions hitting multiple stops across the area — Lakeside Shopping Center, Audubon Park, a crawfish boil in Metairie, dinner in the Warehouse District — one bus covers the full itinerary for a single flat rate instead of managing a five-car caravan across Jefferson and Orleans Parish. Essence Festival (Fourth of July weekend at the Caesars Superdome) draws over 500,000 attendees and spikes rideshare demand to 3–4x across the CBD; a private charter bus booked in advance sidesteps that entirely. Call 251-304-5593 for a custom private event quote!
Prom season across Jefferson and Orleans Parish high schools runs late April through May, and demand for party buses spikes across the entire metro within a six-week window. Schools including East Jefferson High School, Archbishop Rummel, Jesuit High School, and Archbishop Shaw all hold proms during this stretch — and the vehicle supply tightens fast. For prom: book by December or expect premium pricing or no availability.
A typical 6-hour prom rental — school pickup, pre-prom photo stop, venue drop-off, and after-party return — booked four to six months early costs $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive. The same rental booked two weeks before prom runs $2,800–$3,500 or more, when it's available at all. Party Bus Mobile works directly with parent committees across Jefferson Parish to coordinate pickup windows, headcounts, and multi-stop itineraries.
Call 251-304-5593 today and secure your date before the calendar fills up.
Teachers and school groups trust Party Bus Mobile for field trip transportation across Jefferson and Orleans Parish — and not just because it beats the coordination headache of a caravan of parent cars on the interstate. Full-size charter buses offer climate-controlled comfort, overhead storage for backpacks and lunch bags, a PA system for announcements and instructions, and onboard TV monitors to keep younger students engaged on the ride.
Whether the destination is the Louisiana Children's Museum (15 Henry Thomas Dr, New Orleans, LA 70124), the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas (1 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70130), or a longer drive to the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans East, all it takes is one call to lock in the right bus size and confirm your pickup plan. School groups heading to the Audubon Zoo (6500 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70118) on a spring field trip day face limited parking in Audubon Park — a bus drops the group at the Magazine Street entrance and takes care of everything from there. ADA-accessible buses are always available; just flag the need when you book.
Call 251-304-5593 for school field trip bus rentals in Metairie!
Saints game day at the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112) is a full-scale New Orleans experience — the tailgate on the Poydras Street corridor starts hours before kickoff, and the post-game exit on I-10 eastbound toward Jefferson Parish is a guaranteed 45-minute wait in the tunnel. Rideshare pickup after a prime-time game comes with surge pricing and quarter-mile walks to the designated pickup zones near the CBD.
A Metairie party bus rental changes the math entirely: your crew boards together, the pregame energy builds on the ride in, and there's no designated driver conversation at all. For Pelicans games at the Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113), official commercial vehicle drop-off is on Dave Dixon Drive — steps from the arena entrance — while standard rideshare passengers are routed to pickup zones several blocks away. Tulane Green Wave football at Yulman Stadium (1 McAlister Dr, New Orleans, LA 70118) draws big crowds to a tight uptown area where street parking near campus fills two hours before kickoff.
One bus handles your whole group for a flat, predictable rate. Call 251-304-5593 to book your game-day ride!
A wedding shuttle in Metairie means smooth movement between hotel blocks on Veterans Memorial Boulevard and ceremony venues scattered across Jefferson and Orleans Parish — without asking your guests to navigate I-10 interchanges in formal wear after an open bar. Even the most experienced locals miscalculate the post-wedding drive across the Causeway or down the West Bank Expressway after dark.
If your reception is at Lakeview Harbor Event Center or a French Quarter courtyard venue, a Metairie wedding minibus or party bus runs a continuous loop from your hotel block to the venue entrance so no guest ever needs to think about parking or routing. Nobody in your wedding party hauls themselves through Canal Street traffic in a bridesmaid dress. Because Party Bus Mobile has been handling group transportation since 2011, your wedding timeline stays tight — clear pickup windows, staged departures, and one point of contact from quote to final drop-off.
For the bachelorette party, we'll build whatever schedule your group needs, from Frenchmen Street to the Warehouse District and back. Call 251-304-5593 for a free wedding transportation quote!
The greater New Orleans area has a genuine and growing craft beverage scene — and a Metairie pub crawl party bus rental is the cleanest way to move your group through it without anyone doing math on how to get home. Start at Parish Brewing Co. in Broussard if you want to venture west, or keep it close with stops at NOLA Brewing Company (3001 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70115), Urban South Brewery (1645 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70130), and Wayward Owl Brewing (1535 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70130) — all three sit within blocks of each other in the Lower Garden District and make a natural first leg before the group moves to Frenchmen Street for live music.
Your group stays in one vehicle between every stop — no splitting into rideshares, no hunting for street parking on Magazine Street, no figuring out who's sober enough to drive after the fourth tasting. We'll be your designated crew from the first pour to the last call. Call 251-304-5593 for a free pub crawl quote!

We used the bus for a celebration and it was perfect. Clean, roomy, and comfortable, with great music the whole way. Keeping everyone together made the night flow so much better. The booking experience was smooth and they were patient with all my questions beforehand.

Lazaro G.
Excellent from beginning to end. The bus arrived early, looked great, and gave our group all the room we needed. We had a blast riding around Metairie without worrying about anything. Booking online was quick and the rate was fair. Already thinking about the next occasion.
Henrietta K.
Such a great way to spend a night with friends. The bus was comfortable and spacious, the sound system was loud in the best way, and we never had to deal with parking. Reserving it was easy and they confirmed our pickup time clearly. The whole crew had a wonderful time.
Wallace B.
We rented the bus for an evening out and it made the whole thing memorable. Comfortable seating, fun lighting, and the freedom to just relax and enjoy. Booking was simple and the communication was clear throughout. Getting around town as a group was effortless and a lot of fun.
Metairie party bus and charter bus rental prices vary based on vehicle size, date, and how long you need the bus. Our rates: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; small party buses (15–20 passengers) run $204–$378/hour; mid-size (20–30 passengers) run $244–$414/hour; large party buses and minibuses (35–50 passengers) run $294–$490/hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Mardi Gras season, Jazz Fest weekends, and Essence Festival dates push rates higher and availability lower — book as early as possible for those windows.
The fastest way to get an accurate number is to call 251-304-5593 or use our online quote tool. No hidden costs, ever.
Charter buses heading to the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112) use the commercial vehicle drop-off lanes on Poydras Street near the stadium's main gate approach. All on-site and adjacent lot parking for major events requires pre-purchased passes — nothing is sold day-of at the gate for oversized vehicles. Plan the approach via Poydras Street from I-10 and confirm current road closure patterns with the stadium before game day, as the NFL and Louisiana Superdome Commission adjust traffic management seasonally.
We recommend reviewing the official Caesars Superdome site for current event-day transportation guidance before your visit.
At Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (900 Airline Dr, Kenner, LA 70062), commercial buses pick up from the ground-level curbside transportation zone on the arrivals level. Here's how it works: once your full group has retrieved luggage and assembled curbside, your group coordinator contacts our team to confirm the bus moves into the commercial lane. MSY allows a reasonable loading window for commercial vehicles — the key is not calling until the entire group is together with bags in hand, because a half-assembled group wastes the loading window.
For cruise groups departing from the Port of New Orleans (1350 Port of New Orleans Pl, New Orleans, LA 70130), we handle the MSY-to-port transfer directly, keeping your whole party together for the roughly 18-mile drive down I-10 and through the CBD. Call 251-304-5593 to book your MSY group transfer.
We strongly recommend booking at least three to six months in advance to secure the best price and the right vehicle. The booking window matters most for Metairie's peak demand windows: Mardi Gras season (mid-January through Fat Tuesday, which falls in late February or early March), Jazz Fest weekends (final weekend of April and first weekend of May), and Essence Festival (the Fourth of July weekend). For those events, vehicles across the entire metro sell out weeks ahead, and last-minute bookings — when available — carry significant premium pricing.
Prom season (late April through May) is a separate crunch that affects Jefferson and Orleans Parish schools simultaneously. Outside peak periods, two to four weeks of lead time is workable, but the earlier you call, the better your options. Call 251-304-5593 to lock in your date now.
During Mardi Gras, the City of New Orleans and NOPD put rolling street closures in place across the French Quarter, Central Business District, and Uptown parade routes — often beginning hours before a krewe rolls. Many blocks around Bourbon Street, Royal Street, and the lakeside/riverside parade corridors are completely closed to vehicle traffic during parade times. A Metairie charter bus rental is best planned to drop your group at a staging area next to the closures — for example, near the Loyola Avenue corridor for Superdome-adjacent krewes, or on Napoleon Avenue before the lakeside streets close for the Uptown routes.
We coordinate the approach zone with your group in advance and monitor closure updates so your crew gets as close to the action as possible. We also recommend checking the official New Orleans Mardi Gras parade schedule for current route and closure information before your event date.
For regular events outside peak season, two to four weeks of lead time is workable — but you'll have the best vehicle selection and the lowest rates by booking three to six months ahead. For Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Essence Festival, or prom season, treat those windows like airline seats: the price goes up and the availability goes down as the date approaches. A typical 50-person prom rental booked in December costs roughly $1,800–$2,200 all-inclusive; the same rental booked two weeks before prom jumps to $2,800–$3,500 or more.
For prom specifically: book by December. For the rest — call 251-304-5593 as soon as your headcount is firm, and we'll get your date locked in.
A Metairie party bus itinerary can reach some of the most iconic venues in the entire Gulf South — all within a short ride across Jefferson and Orleans parishes. Here's a starting point for planning your group's trip.
The Caesars Superdome is one of the most recognizable sports and entertainment venues in the country — home to the New Orleans Saints, the Sugar Bowl, college football playoff games, and stadium-scale concerts from major touring acts. Capacity exceeds 73,000 for football. On Saints game days, the Poydras Street corridor closes to civilian traffic hours before kickoff, and parking in adjacent CBD garages runs $40–$75 per car pre-purchased.
Rideshare pickup post-game is routed to designated zones several blocks away, with 30-minute waits common after prime-time games. A charter bus drops your group at the commercial vehicle zone on Poydras, waits nearby, and is ready when the final whistle blows.

Phone: (504) 587-3663
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival runs across two weekends in late April and early May, drawing 400,000–500,000 attendees and filling every parking surface within a mile of the Fair Grounds. The surrounding Gentilly and Mid-City neighborhoods use permit-only parking during festival hours, and rideshare demand spikes to 3–4x surge by mid-afternoon. A charter bus or minibus drops your group at one of the festival entry points before the lots reach capacity, then waits for the pickup.
The bus is the only option that guarantees your group arrives together and leaves together — no splitting up to find rides after seven hours on the festival grounds. Ticket and schedule information is available at the official Jazz Fest site.
Address: 1751 Gentilly Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70119
Home of the New Orleans Pelicans since 2002, the Smoothie King Center sits in the heart of the CBD, steps from the Superdome complex and the Warehouse District. On-site parking is reserved almost entirely for premium ticket holders — general admission fans park in commercial garages on Loyola and Girod Street and walk several blocks. The official commercial vehicle drop-off for buses is on Dave Dixon Drive on the arena's north side, steps from the main entrance gates.
Groups arriving by charter bus walk straight to the door while rideshare passengers are redirected to pickup zones on Girod Street. For concerts at the Smoothie King Center, the same logistics apply — one bus beats four separate rideshares in both cost and coordination.

Audubon Zoo sits on 58 acres in Uptown New Orleans, home to more than 2,000 animals including white alligators, Komodo dragons, and a Louisiana swamp exhibit. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (extended hours in summer), the zoo is one of the most popular school field trip destinations in the region for groups from Jefferson and Orleans Parish.
Street parking on Magazine Street and in the Audubon Park lot fills fast on weekday mornings when multiple school groups arrive simultaneously — a charter bus drops the group at the Magazine Street entrance and takes care of the logistics from there, with undercarriage bays holding lunchboxes and gear until the designated picnic time. School groups should reserve group visit programs at least two weeks ahead. Visit Audubon Zoo's group visit page for pricing and reservation details.

The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is the sixth-largest convention center in the United States, hosting major trade shows, medical conferences, and events like the New Orleans Pelicans draft lottery viewing parties and large-scale corporate events. The building runs roughly 1.1 million square feet of exhibit space along the river, with its primary entrance on Convention Center Boulevard between Julia and Tchoupitoulas Streets. Charter bus drop-off uses the Convention Center Boulevard curb lane at the main entrance; bus staging is available in the nearby parking area on Julia Street.
On peak convention days, Warehouse District parking fills by mid-morning. A dedicated shuttle loop between the Metairie hotel corridor and the convention entrance keeps your entire group on schedule without a single Uber surge.

Lakeside Shopping Center is the largest shopping mall in the Greater New Orleans area, anchored by Dillard's and Macy's and sitting directly on Veterans Memorial Boulevard at the heart of Metairie's commercial corridor. It's a natural gathering and meeting point for group outings, holiday shopping shuttles, and event day staging — particularly useful as a park-and-ride location when your group is heading downtown and wants to avoid CBD parking costs. The mall's surface lots offer easy bus staging and turnaround.
For corporate holiday party shuttles or family gathering transportation departing from Metairie, Lakeside is one of the most convenient centralized pickup points in Jefferson Parish. Call 251-304-5593 to set up a pickup plan from Lakeside for your next group outing.
