More About The 18 Passenger Party Bus
An 18-passenger party bus is the go-to vehicle for medium-sized groups who want everyone riding together without stepping into full charter bus territory. Think bachelorette weekends rolling from the Marigny to Frenchmen Street, birthday groups hitting Bourbon Street and bouncing to Freret Row, or a tailgate group shuttling between a French Quarter hotel and the Superdome on a Sunday afternoon. The 18-passenger configuration typically features perimeter wrap-around seating along both sides of the cabin — so the whole group faces each other instead of staring at the back of someone's head — with a center aisle that gives the vehicle a true party-room feel once you're rolling.
It is large enough to seat a real group but compact enough to navigate the narrow streets of the French Quarter and Marigny without the turning-radius headaches that come with a full-size motorcoach.

Common Amenities Available on 18 Passenger Party Bus Rentals
Amenities vary by vehicle and provider, but 18-passenger party buses available through this network commonly include color-changing LED mood lighting throughout the cabin, a premium Bluetooth sound system with auxiliary input so your playlist runs the whole ride, flat-panel TVs mounted at both ends of the cabin, and a full-length built-in bar setup with a mirrored backsplash. Perimeter wrap-around seating is standard on most configurations, and many vehicles also include a dance pole, tinted privacy windows, and USB charging ports at the seats — useful when you're doing a full night through the Warehouse District and need your phone alive for the late stops.

How much does an 18 Passenger Party Bus cost in New Orleans?
An 18-passenger party bus rental in New Orleans runs roughly $275–$350 per hour on weekdays and $275–$400 per hour on weekends, with full-day rates typically falling in the $2,100–$2,600 range. Weekend nights on Bourbon Street, Mardi Gras season (February through early March), Jazz Fest weekends in late April and early May, and Saints home-game Sundays all push demand — and pricing — toward the higher end of those ranges. A four-hour bachelorette crawl on a Friday night will price differently than a Tuesday afternoon transfer from Louis Armstrong Airport to a hotel block on Canal Street.
Those numbers are planning ranges to give your budget a starting point; the real rate for your specific date, hours, and itinerary comes back in about a minute when you fill out the form or call 504-264-9423. Check out the New Orleans party bus prices page for a fuller breakdown by vehicle size.
