18 Passenger Party Bus Rental
An 18-passenger party bus sits right in the sweet spot for New Orleans group travel — big enough to keep a solid crew together down Bourbon Street or across the Causeway, compact enough to navigate the narrow blocks around the French Quarter and the tighter side streets in the Marigny. Whether your group is heading out for a bachelorette crawl, making the run to Smoothie King Center for a Pelicans game, or shuttling between a rehearsal dinner in Uptown and a reception in the Warehouse District, Party Bus New Orleans makes it easy to book with an all-inclusive quote in minutes.

More About The 18 Passenger Party Bus
The 18-passenger party bus is built for the kind of New Orleans night that starts at one end of Magazine Street and ends somewhere on Frenchmen — with stops in between that nobody planned in advance. Perimeter seating wraps the cabin so your whole group faces the action rather than a headrest, and the open floor space handles moving between bars without the awkward shuffle of a minibus aisle. The bus is nimble enough to handle the tight turns and streetcar traffic along St. Charles Avenue without the bulk of a full-size charter bus.
For bachelorette weekends, birthday crawls, and smaller wedding parties that want the energy of a party bus without booking more seats than they need, this is the right pick.

Amenities On Our 18 Passenger Party Bus
Step aboard and the cabin is already working for you. Color-changing LED lighting sets the tone before the first stop, and a built-in bar means drinks stay in the bus — not scattered across multiple cars trying to regroup on Canal Street. A premium sound system with Bluetooth connectivity lets whoever has the aux cord run the playlist for the whole ride, and flat-panel TVs keep the energy up between venues.
Wraparound perimeter seating keeps the full group visible to each other so conversations actually happen, and the climate-controlled cabin is a real advantage when August humidity hits 95 percent outside. ADA-accessible vehicles are available upon request — just let us know when you book so we can match your group with the right vehicle.

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 rates available from $2,121–$2,563+ per day for longer itineraries. Weekend pricing reflects the demand spike that hits every Friday and Saturday in a city where Mardi Gras season, Jazz Fest, and French Quarter Fest each generate their own surge — the further you are from a peak weekend, the closer your quote lands to the lower end. Total hours booked also shapes the number: a four-hour bachelorette crawl through the Bywater prices differently than a full-day wedding shuttle running loops between a hotel block in the CBD and a venue in Metairie.
