More About The 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Full-size charter buses in our network include models from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, TEMSA, and Setra — brands built for sustained highway mileage on runs like the I-10 corridor west to Baton Rouge or north on I-55 toward Jackson. A Prevost H3-45 seats up to 55 passengers with panoramic frameless windows and nearly 470 cubic feet of undercarriage bay storage — enough for convention presentation equipment, instrument cases, or a full set of cruise luggage heading to the New Orleans Cruise Terminal on Erato Street. An MCI J4500 seats up to 56 with LED ceiling lighting and overhead parcel racks that handle carry-on bags without crowding the aisle.
Interior trim varies by model, but every vehicle in this class is built to move large groups comfortably across long distances. For multi-stop itineraries hitting the Garden District, the Warehouse Arts District, and the Superdome in one day, one charter bus covers it all for one flat rate.

Amenities On Our 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
Standard amenities on full-size charter buses include high-back reclining seats, strong climate control, overhead parcel racks, WiFi, power outlets at seats, a PA system, an onboard restroom, and deep undercarriage luggage bays. On longer hauls — a corporate retreat run down US-90 to the Gulf Coast, or a school trip from New Orleans to the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge — those onboard restrooms mean no roadside stops eating into your schedule. Depending on the model, a Prevost H3-45 adds two 110V outlets per row and individual reading lights; an MCI J4500 pairs TV monitors with a DVD player, which keeps younger passengers occupied on a field trip to Global Wildlife Center in Folsom.
When you call 504-264-9429, tell us which amenities matter most for your group and we'll match you to the right vehicle.

How much does a 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus cost in New Orleans?
A 40-56 passenger charter bus rental in New Orleans runs $158–$327+ per hour on weekdays and $162–$348+ per hour on weekends, with day rates of $1,331–$2,841+ for full-day bookings. Where your quote lands within those ranges depends on a handful of clear factors: total hours booked (a convention shuttle running a six-hour loop prices differently than a two-hour airport transfer from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport), the day of week, the season — Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and Sugar Bowl weekends push demand and pricing to the top of the range — and the overall distance of your route. Longer multi-stop runs covering both banks of the river or heading out to Slidell on I-10 East will reflect the additional mileage.
You will always see the all-inclusive total before you commit — no surprises at checkout. Call 504-264-9429 or use our online tool for a quote in under 30 seconds.
