More About The 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
A full-size charter bus seats between 40 and 56 passengers in forward-facing reclining seats — a completely different configuration than a party bus, and purpose-built for longer distances and larger headcounts. That distinction matters in New Orleans, where a single event like French Quarter Fest or the Sugar Bowl can push group sizes well past what a minibus can handle. The undercarriage bays on a charter bus hold luggage, equipment cases, and presentation materials without eating into cabin space — a real advantage for conference groups at the Morial Convention Center arriving with rolling bags.
For trips out to Baton Rouge or over to Gulfport, the onboard restrooms and overhead storage keep the ride comfortable without constant pit stops. Browse the full vehicle lineup to compare charter buses side by side with minibuses and party buses before you commit to a size.

Common Amenities Available on 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus Rentals
Charter buses in the network typically come with climate-controlled cabins — genuinely appreciated from June through September when New Orleans heat and humidity make the idea of an open-air shuttle miserable. Most vehicles in this size class include reclining seats with overhead storage, a PA system, flat-panel monitors, DVD capability, WiFi, and power outlets at or near each row. Undercarriage bays are standard and can handle everything from instrument cases for a band traveling between gigs to large presentation equipment for a convention group.
Select vehicles include onboard restrooms, which is the difference between a smooth three-hour run to a Mississippi Gulf Coast casino and four unplanned stops. Amenities vary by vehicle, so the online quote tool lets you filter by what your group actually needs — or call 504-264-9429 for help narrowing it down quickly.

How much does a 40-56 Passenger Charter Bus cost in New Orleans?
New Orleans charter bus rental rates generally run $200–$350 per hour on weekdays and the same $200–$350 per hour range on weekends — the rate holds relatively flat across the week for this vehicle class, which is different from party buses, where weekend demand pushes pricing noticeably higher. Full-day rates typically fall between $1,350 and $2,850, making a charter bus one of the most cost-effective options on a per-seat basis when your headcount is over 40. The actual rate for your trip moves with the date, how many hours you need, and how tight availability is — Mardi Gras week, the Sugar Bowl window around New Year's, and Jazz Fest in late April and early May all compress supply fast.
These are planning ranges to give you a ballpark, not a quote. Fill out the form or call 504-264-9429 and you could have pricing for your exact date in about a minute. Check the New Orleans party bus prices page for more detail on how rates break down across vehicle types.
