Concert Transportation in New Orleans, Louisiana

Partybusneworleans.net 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.

Partybusneworleans.net is a quote-comparison website — not a bus company. Fill out one online form or call 504-264-9424 and compare vehicles, amenities, and rates from independently owned transportation companies already serving the New Orleans area. No account required, no waiting on callbacks.

You get options side by side and choose what fits your group and budget.

Enter your trip details — date, group size, pickup location, and destination — and the site returns rate options from providers serving your area in seconds. From there, you compare buses, confirm the details that matter to your trip (vehicle size, amenities, pickup window), and move forward with what fits. A support line at 504-264-9424 is available any time if you want help working through the options.

Commercial vehicles approaching Fair Grounds Race Course (1751 Gentilly Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70119) during Jazz Fest use Gentilly Boulevard for drop-off. Street parking within the surrounding blocks is restricted to neighborhood permit zones enforced during the festival, and Esplanade Avenue sees significant congestion from gates-open through mid-afternoon. A bus drop-off on Gentilly puts your group at the main entrance significantly faster than parking independently and walking.

Check the official Jazz Fest site for current traffic advisories before your visit.

The Saenger Theatre is at 1111 Canal Street on the edge of the French Quarter. Canal Street has no dedicated commercial bus loading zone in front of the venue on show nights — commercial drop-off typically uses the Rampart Street side or nearby cross streets. The French Quarter vehicle restrictions apply east of Canal, so confirm your drop-off plan with the provider when you book.

We recommend checking the Saenger's official site for current event-night access information.

Jazz Fest runs across two weekends in late April and early May, and both weekends are the single tightest booking windows on the New Orleans transportation calendar. Buses for those dates go fast starting in January. Voodoo Fest at City Park in late October is a close second.

For either festival, booking 3–5 months out is not excessive — waiting until 4–6 weeks before typically means paying more or finding nothing available in the right vehicle size. Call 504-264-9424 as soon as your date is confirmed.

The French Quarter has vehicle access restrictions on many streets, particularly around Bourbon Street, and overnight and weekend restrictions tighten further on event nights. Charter buses and large party buses generally cannot access the interior of the Quarter. The standard approach is curbside drop-off on the perimeter — Canal Street, Decatur Street, or Esplanade Avenue — with a short walk to the venue.

A minibus offers better maneuverability for streets adjacent to the Quarter than a full-size coach. Confirm your approach with the provider when you book.

Commercial vehicle drop-off at Smoothie King Center is typically staged on Girod Street on the north side of the arena. That puts your group steps from the main entrance without touching Poydras Street, which backs up significantly on arena-event nights. The paid surface lots around the arena run $30–$60 and sell out well before doors on major shows, so a group arriving by charter bus avoids both the parking cost and the post-show lot exit queue.

See the official Smoothie King Center directions and parking page for current access details before your event.
