New Orleans Party Bus has been coordinating group transportation across South Louisiana since 2011. That's more than a decade of Mardi Gras shuttles, wedding convoys across the Atchafalaya Basin, prom nights, and stadium runs up to the Superdome — and every trip comes with the same thing: one all-inclusive quote, zero surprises, and a 24/7 reservation team that picks up when you call. We serve Gulfport and the wider Tri-Parish area with a fleet that ranges from nimble Sprinter vans to full 56-passenger charter buses, meaning you only pay for the seats your group actually fills.
Getting around St. Mary Parish sounds simple until your group of 30 tries to carpool along LA-182 in separate vehicles, half of them late and the other half circling Morgan City looking for parking. A Gulfport party bus rental takes that whole mess off the table. We coordinate the pickup window, the route, and the drop-off so your group arrives together — at the casino, the venue, the airport, wherever the night leads.
Our reservation team is available around the clock, and pricing is transparent before you commit to anything. Call 504-459-0899 to get a quote any time.
From a 14-passenger Sprinter limo for a bridal party run to a 56-passenger charter bus hauling a full corporate group up to New Orleans, New Orleans Party Bus has the right vehicle for any headcount. Browse Sprinter vans, party buses in the 15-to-50 seat range, minibuses, and full-size charter buses — all with upfront, all-inclusive pricing.
Party buses in the 15-to-50 passenger range come loaded for a night out: full-length onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating, and a Bluetooth sound system your group can plug directly into. Minibuses bring powerful A/C and plush reclining seats for wedding shuttles and corporate hops across the parish. Full-size charter buses are built for the longer runs — reclining seats, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, climate control, onboard restrooms, and deep undercarriage bays that swallow luggage, casino bags, or presentation equipment without a second thought.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available too; just flag that when you book.

New Orleans Party Bus offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact cost before you ever book. As a general guide: 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. Final pricing shifts based on vehicle type, the date, and total mileage — a run from Gulfport up I-10 to the Superdome prices differently than a local casino loop along US-90.
Weekend rates run higher than weekday equivalents, and peak periods like Mardi Gras and prom season tighten availability fast.

There's no shortage of reasons a group from Gulfport ends up stuck — highway congestion on US-90 through Morgan City, a downtown Franklin parking situation that turns a 10-minute trip into a 40-minute ordeal, or a casino drop-off at Coushatta that leaves everyone arguing over who drives home. A Gulfport party bus rental with New Orleans Party Bus cuts all of that out.
We've been coordinating South Louisiana group travel since 2011. That means we know the Atchafalaya corridor, the peak Mardi Gras run schedule, and exactly when airport traffic out of Lafayette Regional backs up. You get a fleet that fits any group size, transparent all-inclusive pricing, and a 24/7/365 reservation team ready to build your custom itinerary from the first call.
No last-minute surprises on the bill, no squeezing into a vehicle that's two seats short, and no one drawing straws over who stays sober. The bus rental in Gulfport handles all of that.
Plus, because we serve the entire Tri-Parish region and run regularly into New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette, your itinerary is never hemmed in by city limits. Call 504-459-0899 to get your group moving.
New Orleans Party Bus coordinates group transportation for every occasion across the Gulfport area and beyond — from airport runs to casino nights, wedding shuttles, prom, and corporate events. Whatever brings your group together in Gulfport or anywhere in South Louisiana, we have a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 504-459-0899 to get started.
The closest commercial airport to Gulfport is Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT) (200 Terminal Dr, Lafayette, LA 70508), about 60 miles northwest via US-90 West and then I-49. For groups needing international connections, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) (1 Terminal Dr, Kenner, LA 70062) sits roughly 90 miles east along US-90 and I-10 — a stretch that can stretch past two hours during Mardi Gras season or when the I-10 split near downtown Baton Rouge backs up.
Neither run is one you want to coordinate in a caravan of separate vehicles. A Gulfport airport shuttle bus keeps everyone together, gets luggage stored in the undercarriage bays without a fight for trunk space, and handles the drop-off timing so nobody misses check-in. For arrivals, have your group gather at baggage claim and contact our team — we bring the bus around to the commercial ground transportation zone once everyone is together.
Call 504-459-0899 to lock in your airport shuttle today.
A Gulfport bachelorette night doesn't have to stay local — and with New Orleans a straight shot east on US-90 and I-10, it usually doesn't. The French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and the Frenchmen Street jazz clubs are all within reach, and a party bus rental means the whole crew rides together from the first toast to the last call without anyone stuck behind the wheel.
Book a 20-to-30 passenger party bus with an onboard bar, color-changing LEDs, and Bluetooth sound for the group, and the itinerary is yours to build. Start with dinner in the Warehouse District, hit the rooftop bars along Magazine Street, close out at a live music venue on Frenchmen — the bus waits nearby and picks everyone up on your schedule. No surge pricing at 2 a.m., no splitting into three rideshares, no one missing the last pickup.
For a bachelor group, the casino run to Coushatta Resort Casino (777 Coushatta Dr, Kinder, LA 70648) pairs perfectly with the party bus setup — everyone rides in together, everyone rides out together. Call 504-459-0899 now.
A party bus arrival is one of the most memorable entrances your honoree can make — and in Gulfport and the surrounding St. Mary Parish communities, that matters. Whether the celebration is a quinceañera at a Franklin reception hall, a Sweet 16 dinner in Morgan City, or a milestone birthday night that rolls into New Orleans, New Orleans Party Bus has the right vehicle and the right setup.
Party buses in the 15-to-50 passenger range can be themed to match your color scheme, loaded with a custom playlist, and decorated before pickup. For adult milestone birthdays heading into New Orleans for a night on the town, the party bus handles the drive so nobody in the group has to stay sober. For younger celebrations, parents appreciate the single-vehicle setup — one bus, one drop-off, one confirmed pickup time, no mystery about where everyone ended up.
We match vehicle size to your headcount precisely so you're never paying for empty seats. Call 504-459-0899 to plan your Gulfport birthday celebration.
Big concert nights for a Gulfport group usually mean a run to New Orleans — the Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113) hosts touring arena acts year-round, and the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112) pulls stadium-scale shows that pack I-10 eastbound for miles. Closer in, the Evangeline Downs entertainment complex near Opelousas books regional acts and draws crowds from across the Teche corridor.
Post-show rideshare surges out of the Smoothie King Center are legendary — the queue in the Champions Square area runs 40-plus minutes on a sold-out Saturday. A Gulfport concert bus rental parks in the designated commercial zone, picks your group up when the house lights come up, and has everyone rolling home while the rideshare wait is still climbing. Party buses with LED lighting and a sound system keep the energy going on the drive back down US-90.
Call 504-459-0899 for a concert transportation quote.
St. Mary Parish's industrial base — offshore services, petrochemical, maritime — means corporate groups here regularly need to move teams between Morgan City, Berwick, and upstream meeting facilities without the distraction of who navigates and who parks. A Gulfport corporate bus rental handles the route while your team uses the ride time to get work done, especially on minibuses equipped with WiFi and power outlets.
For larger events at the Cajundome Convention Center in Lafayette (444 Cajundome Blvd, Lafayette, LA 70506) or at New Orleans venues along Poydras Street, a full-size charter bus keeps the group together and cuts out the per-car parking scramble in an unfamiliar downtown. Drop-off at the Cajundome's main entrance on Cajundome Boulevard keeps your team steps from registration instead of circling the parking structure. For executive runs, Sprinter vans deliver the clean, quiet cabin that a client-facing transfer calls for.
Call 504-459-0899 to discuss corporate shuttle options and volume rates.
Not every group outing fits a standard category — and that's fine. Family reunion heading from Gulfport to the Rip Van Winkle Gardens on Jefferson Island? Church retreat to a Lake Martin cabin in the Atchafalaya?
A multi-stop crawfish festival circuit across the Teche country in the spring? New Orleans Party Bus builds a transportation plan around your itinerary, not the other way around.
The Festivals Acadiens et Créoles in Lafayette each October draws enormous crowds and tightens parking and rideshare capacity across the city for a full weekend. Rather than splitting your group into separate vehicles and meeting up in an unfamiliar parking lot, a charter bus drops everyone at Girard Park together and waits nearby for the return. For Mardi Gras parade routes in Morgan City — one of the oldest in Louisiana — a party bus keeps the whole krewe together and avoids the post-parade street gridlock that turns a 15-minute drive into an hour.
Whatever the occasion, one flat rate and one pickup point is a lot simpler than coordinating a caravan. Call 504-459-0899 and tell us your stops.
Prom season across St. Mary Parish — Patterson High, Berwick High, Hanson Memorial — hits in late April and early May, and the window to lock in a party bus rental in Gulfport is shorter than most families expect. Demand across the Tri-Parish area spikes inside a roughly four-week stretch, and once the calendar fills, it fills.
For prom: book by January or expect limited availability and premium pricing come March. A typical 6-hour prom rental — school pickup, photo stop, venue drop-off, and after-party return — runs $1,800–$2,200 when booked several months out but climbs significantly when families wait until April. New Orleans Party Bus works with parent committees across St. Mary, St. Martin, and Assumption parishes to get the vehicle size, pickup sequence, and drop-off timing locked in well ahead of the rush.
Parents love the single-vehicle accountability; students love the LED lighting and sound system that turn the ride into part of the night. Call 504-459-0899 today to secure your date.
Teachers and chaperones across St. Mary Parish trust New Orleans Party Bus to handle the logistics so they can focus on the students. Whether the destination is the Bayou Teche Museum in New Iberia (131 E Main St, New Iberia, LA 70560), the Louisiana Children's Museum (15 Henry Thomas Dr, New Orleans, LA 70124), or the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas (1 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70130), a charter bus keeps the whole grade together without the coordination strain of a car-pool caravan along US-90.
Full-size charter buses offer overhead storage bins for backpacks and lunchboxes, onboard restrooms on select vehicles to skip the roadside pit stop, and TV monitors with DVD capability to keep younger passengers settled on longer runs. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just confirm your needs when you reserve. We coordinate with school administrators on pickup staging, head counts, and return times so the day stays on schedule.
Call 504-459-0899 for school field trip bus rentals out of Gulfport.
The biggest sporting event draw for a Gulfport group is a Saints game at the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112) — and the 90-mile run up I-10 on game day is exactly the kind of trip that rewards having one bus instead of eight cars. Tailgating in the Benson Tower Garage area fills up hours before kickoff, and rideshare queues on Poydras Street after the final gun can run 45-plus minutes on a Sunday night.
A Gulfport charter bus for a Saints game changes the math entirely. The group boards together, the undercarriage bays hold the coolers and tailgate gear, and the bus drops your crew near the stadium's commercial vehicle zone while you still have time to pregame before kickoff. Post-game, the bus is ready and waiting when the Superdome empties — no surge price, no long walk from a distant lot.
For LSU Tigers games in Baton Rouge at Tiger Stadium (100 N Stadium Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70803), the calculus is the same: one bus, one pickup, one price. Call 504-459-0899 to lock in your game-day transportation.
A Gulfport wedding shuttle means your guests arrive at the ceremony relaxed, no one ends up navigating an unfamiliar back road in the dark after the reception, and the bridal party has a private vehicle for the moments between venues. South Louisiana weddings span the full parish map — plantation ceremonies in the Teche corridor, waterfront receptions in Morgan City, out-of-town guests flying into MSY and needing a ground transfer — and New Orleans Party Bus coordinates all of it.
Minibuses work well for running guests between their hotel and the venue when out-of-town guests are spread across a few properties in Morgan City or Franklin. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the right call for the bridal party on the wedding day itself. Full-size charter buses handle the large-guest shuttles where the reception venue and the hotel are across town from each other.
We've been coordinating Louisiana wedding transportation since 2011, which means clear pickup windows, staged departures, and a single point of contact from the first quote through the final reception drop-off. Call 504-459-0899 for a free wedding transportation quote.
South Louisiana doesn't have Napa Valley, but the Acadiana corridor has its own well-worn tasting circuit — and navigating it without a designated bus is how a fun Saturday turns into a logistical headache. Landry Vineyards (585 Landry Rd, New Iberia, LA 70560) pours estate wines in an Iberia Parish setting that regularly draws group tours from across the Teche. For craft beer, Bayou Teche Brewing (1106 Bushville Hwy, Arnaudville, LA 70512) is a St. Landry Parish standout with a full tap room and a shaded outdoor patio built for groups.
A Gulfport party bus rental keeps your tasting crew together across every stop, handles the route planning so nobody has to navigate a new parish on the fly, and means the whole group can actually enjoy the pour without anyone stuck as the one who stays sober. No splitting into multiple cars between stops, no arguments about who stays off the bottle for the trip home. Just load up, call the first stop, and let the bus handle the rest.

We used the bus for a fun outing with friends and it was the highlight of the weekend. Setting up the reservation was quick and they answered all my questions patiently. The bus was roomy, clean, and comfortable, and the sound system was a great touch. We stayed together the whole night and never worried about a thing. The ride was smooth and everyone had a wonderful time. Couldn't recommend it more.
Ondine K.
Barrett L.
Rented the bus for an evening event and it was exactly what we hoped for. The booking was painless and the confirmation came through fast. The interior was spacious enough for our whole group, the lighting was fun, and the ride was smooth all night. We could relax and enjoy ourselves without thinking about parking or rides home. Keeping everyone in one place made it so easy. A genuinely great experience.
Cosima P.
We booked the bus for a special group outing and it was a fantastic decision. They made the reservation simple and were upfront about everything. The bus showed up clean and on time, with plenty of room and comfortable seats. The music kept the energy going and the ride was smooth from stop to stop. Not having to coordinate separate cars was a relief. Everyone had a great time and we'd book again.
Ulysses W.
Used the bus for a celebration with a big crowd and it made the whole thing easy. The booking process was clear, the price was fair, and the bus arrived right on schedule. There was room for everyone to mingle and the lighting set a great mood. The ride was smooth and comfortable the whole night. We stayed together and nobody had to worry about driving. It turned a good night into a great one.
Gulfport party bus rental prices depend on vehicle size, date, and how long the bus is needed. As a general range: small party buses (15–20 passengers) run $204–$378/hour; mid-size (20–30 passengers) run $244–$414/hour; larger 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. Weekend rates and peak periods like Mardi Gras and prom season push toward the higher end of each range.
The fastest way to get an accurate number for your specific date and group size is to call 504-459-0899 — pricing is all-inclusive and available in under 30 seconds with no hidden costs.
Yes — the New Orleans run is one of our most common trips out of the Gulfport area. The route along US-90 East and I-10 into New Orleans runs roughly 90 miles and takes about 90 minutes in normal conditions, longer on Saints game days or during Mardi Gras weekend when I-10 eastbound backs up significantly. We get the bus on the road well ahead of event traffic, coordinate the drop-off point near the venue's commercial zone, and confirm a post-event pickup window before the bus ever leaves Gulfport.
Call 504-459-0899 to book your New Orleans run.
At Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT), commercial vehicle pickups are from the ground-floor arrivals curb. Have your full group gather at baggage claim after luggage is collected, then contact our team — the bus moves from its waiting spot to the commercial pickup zone once everyone is together and ready. At Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (MSY), commercial buses use the designated ground transportation lanes outside the baggage claim area on the arrivals level.
We recommend reviewing the official MSY ground transportation page before your arrival. The key rule at both airports: don't call for the bus until your entire group is assembled with luggage — timing is everything in a busy commercial lane.
Full-size charter buses come with deep undercarriage bays that handle luggage, coolers, tailgate equipment, casino bags, and oversized gear without asking passengers to stow anything on their laps. Overhead bins handle backpacks and carry-on-sized items. Minibuses offer overhead storage for lighter loads.
If your group is hauling significant gear — think a casino overnight, a multi-day retreat, or a team equipment run — a full-size charter bus is the right call, and we'll confirm bay capacity when you book.
Yes. Morgan City hosts one of Louisiana's oldest Mardi Gras celebrations, and the post-parade gridlock in and around downtown is no joke on a busy krewe night. A party bus or charter bus rental keeps your group together for the parade, waits in a coordinated spot away from the worst of the street closures, and pulls your crew out before the post-parade parking exodus turns a 10-minute drive into an hour.
Mardi Gras weekend is one of our single busiest booking periods — lock in your vehicle well in advance, ideally by November for a February parade date.
We recommend booking at least three to six months ahead for the best vehicle selection and pricing. For high-demand dates — Saints playoff games, Mardi Gras weekends in Morgan City or New Orleans, prom season across St. Mary Parish (late April–May), and Festivals Acadiens et Créoles in October — availability tightens significantly earlier than that. Prom is the most time-sensitive: high schools across the parish hold events in a narrow four-to-six week window, and once vehicles are committed, they're committed.
For prom: book by January. For everything else, the earlier you call, the more options you have on vehicle size and pricing tier. Call 504-459-0899 right now to lock in your date.
Gulfport and the wider St. Mary Parish area put your group within reach of some of South Louisiana's best venues, stadiums, casinos, and natural wonders. Here are six destinations your Gulfport party bus rental can reach with ease.
Home of the New Orleans Saints since 1975, the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112) seats over 73,000 and doubles as one of the Gulf South's premier concert and special event venues. For a Gulfport group, the 90-mile I-10 run is the standard play — plan on 90 minutes each way in clear traffic, longer on NFL game Sundays when eastbound I-10 stacks up past the Baton Rouge split. Commercial vehicle drop-off is on Girod Street on the south side of the Dome complex.
Tailgating in the adjacent surface lots requires pre-purchased passes. The Superdome's surrounding streets — Poydras, LaSalle, and the Benson Tower Garage approach — see heavy pedestrian and vehicle congestion for the two hours before kickoff and the hour after the final whistle. Phone: (504) 587-3663.
Coushatta Casino Resort (777 Coushatta Dr, Kinder, LA 70648) is the largest casino in Louisiana and a natural anchor for an overnight group trip out of Gulfport. The drive runs roughly 90 miles northwest via US-90 West and LA-26, putting the casino about an hour and forty-five minutes from St. Mary Parish under normal conditions. Coushatta offers a dedicated bus and RV lot on the north side of the property, so your charter bus parks close and your group walks straight to the gaming floor.
The resort's hotel, multiple restaurants, and entertainment calendar make it an easy all-in-one destination — no hunting for dinner after the tables close. Phone: (800) 584-7263.
Rip Van Winkle Gardens (5505 Rip Van Winkle Rd, New Iberia, LA 70560) sits on Jefferson Island above a salt dome, surrounded by 25 acres of live oaks, camellias, and formal gardens overlooking Lake Peigneur. For a Gulfport group, the drive runs about 55 miles northwest on US-90 through New Iberia — an easy day-trip distance. The site hosts weddings, private events, and educational group tours; the Joseph Jefferson Mansion on the grounds is a National Historic Landmark.
Bus parking is available on the property, and the gardens complex has a welcome center for group orientation. This is a top pick for garden-club tours, family reunions, and educational field trips from St. Mary Parish schools. Phone: (337) 359-8525.
The Audubon Aquarium of the Americas (1 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70130) anchors the Riverfront district at the foot of Canal Street, where the Mississippi River meets the French Quarter edge. With a 400,000-gallon Gulf of Mexico exhibit, a shark tunnel, and a full seahorse gallery, it's among the premier field trip destinations in the region for St. Mary Parish school and youth groups. Bus drop-off is on Canal Street at the aquarium entrance, and the Canal Street streetcar stop is steps away.
Parking for oversized vehicles is available in the Aquarium Garage and the adjacent Harrah's structure. For group visits, advance reservations are strongly recommended — particularly during spring field trip season, when the Riverfront sees heavy school bus traffic from across the state. Phone: (504) 565-3033.
Tiger Stadium (100 N Stadium Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70803), known as Death Valley, seats 102,000 and is consistently one of the loudest venues in college football. For a Gulfport group, the run up US-90 West and I-10 to Baton Rouge covers roughly 110 miles — call it two hours each way in off-peak conditions, notably longer when I-10 westbound stacks during LSU home game weekends. Charter bus drop-off is on North Stadium Drive, with stadium-adjacent bus and RV parking available in the Riverfront lots via pre-purchased passes through the LSU Parking Office.
Night games at Tiger Stadium carry an electric atmosphere that's worth the drive, and the tailgate scene around the stadium opens hours before kickoff. Book your bus run well ahead — LSU home game weekends in October and November fill vehicle availability across South Louisiana quickly. Phone: (225) 578-2184.
Bayou Teche Brewing (1106 Bushville Hwy, Arnaudville, LA 70512) is one of Louisiana's most respected craft breweries, situated about 70 miles northwest of Gulfport along the Teche corridor. The tap room and outdoor patio are built for group visits — wide, shaded, and stocked with flagship beers like Acadie Pale Ale and LA-31 Bière Pâle. Saturday hours typically run afternoon into early evening, making this a natural anchor stop on a Teche-country tasting circuit that might also include Landry Vineyards in New Iberia or a dinner stop in Breaux Bridge.
Bus parking is available on the property's gravel lot. The brewery's location just off I-49 makes the routing from US-90 straightforward for a Gulfport group. For group reservations and current tap room hours, check the brewery's official site before scheduling.
Phone: (337) 754-2332.
