18 Passenger Party Bus Rental
When your crew is too big for a standard rideshare and too small to justify a full 56-seat coach, a New Orleans 18 passenger party bus rental is the answer. It seats up to 18 people, keeps everyone in the same vehicle from the French Quarter to the Marigny and back, and cuts out the Bourbon Street rideshare scramble entirely. Whether you're organizing a bachelorette crawl through Magazine Street, a birthday run down Frenchmen, or a group transfer to the Smoothie King Center for a Pelicans game, New Orleans Party Bus makes it simple to book the right-sized bus with an all-inclusive quote in minutes.

More About The 18 Passenger Party Bus
The 18 passenger party bus sits squarely between a Sprinter van and a full-size minibus — compact enough to navigate the narrow side streets of the Warehouse District and Tremé, but roomy enough that 18 guests ride together without anyone wedged against a cooler. That maneuverability matters in New Orleans, where one-way streets, streetcar tracks, and heavy foot traffic on weekends can turn a wrong turn into a ten-minute detour. The cabin layout typically runs perimeter seating along both walls, giving the group eye contact rather than the back of each other's heads, and a center aisle wide enough to actually move around.
For groups heading from the Garden District to Jazz Fest grounds at Fair Grounds Race Course, one 18-seat party bus rental in New Orleans covers your entire headcount without splitting the party into separate cars.

Amenities On Our 18 Passenger Party Bus
Step aboard and you'll find color-changing LED mood lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, and flat-panel TV screens built into the cabin — so the playlist goes from your phone to the speakers before you leave the Airbnb driveway. Wraparound perimeter seating keeps everyone facing each other instead of a headrest, and a built-in bar setup means the pregame doesn't have to wait until the first stop on Frenchmen Street. Climate control matters more than people plan for in the Louisiana summer heat, and the A/C on these buses actually keeps up with a full cabin in July.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available in our network — just let us know your needs when you call 504-459-0899 and we'll match you with the right bus.

How much does an 18 Passenger Party Bus cost in New Orleans?
An 18 passenger party bus rental in New Orleans runs $266–$330+ per hour on weekdays and $268–$378+ per hour on weekends, with day-rate packages available from $2,121–$2,563+. A few things shape where your quote lands within those ranges: the total hours you need the bus (a three-hour Frenchmen Street crawl prices differently than an eight-hour Jazz Fest Saturday), the day of the week, how far your itinerary stretches beyond the metro, and the season. Mardi Gras weekend and New Year's Eve on Bourbon Street push demand — and rates — toward the top of the range, while a Tuesday afternoon transfer across town sits toward the low end. New Orleans Party Bus provides all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds with no surprises on the invoice.
