You fill out one form, or call 504-445-4710, and a national booking platform returns available vehicles, instant pricing, and photos — all without creating an account.
Whether your group is heading across the Pontchartrain Expressway to a sold-out arena show or riding the I-10 corridor into downtown New Orleans for a festival weekend, the network has the right vehicle at the right price.

Buses Perfect For Any Concert Transportation Need in Kenner
Not every concert trip looks the same, and the bus you book shouldn't be one-size-fits-all either. A tight group of 14 heading to a late-night show at Tipitina's (501 Napoleon Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115) fits perfectly in a Sprinter van or a 15-passenger minibus — nimble enough for the narrow streets of Uptown New Orleans, with overhead storage for bags and power outlets to keep phones charged. A bigger fan group headed to the Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113) for a stadium-level tour stop is a different story entirely.
For groups of 40 or more, a full-size 56-passenger charter bus provides reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, WiFi, undercarriage luggage bays, and overhead storage — so the pregame energy builds on the ride in rather than in a parking garage. And for groups that want the party to start the moment they leave Kenner, a 15- to 50-passenger party bus comes loaded with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, and flat-panel TVs. Compare them all through this website!

Charter Buses to Smoothie King Center Concerts and Arena Shows
The Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113) draws massive touring acts year-round — and the parking situation around the Superdome complex on show nights is exactly as gridlocked as you'd expect. The Earhart Expressway backs up, surface lots fill hours before doors open, and rideshare pickup after the final song means standing in a crowd of 18,000 people all trying to hail the same cars at the same moment. The official parking page lists seven public garages and two surface lots around the complex, so event-day parking is spread across designated facilities rather than one single lot.
A charter bus rental from Kenner drops your group at the arena entrance and stages nearby for pickup when the show ends — no parking scramble, no surge pricing, no splitting the group across three different rideshare cars. The I-10 westbound return to Kenner is already manageable when you're not hunting for your vehicle in a dark lot. Check the Smoothie King Center directions and parking page for current bus drop-off and staging details before your visit, and call ahead to confirm any event-specific road closures around Poydras Street.

Party Buses to Jazz Fest, Voodoo Fest, and New Orleans Music Festival Weekends
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival at Fair Grounds Race Course (1751 Gentilly Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70119) draws enormous numbers of attendees across two weekends every spring — and Gentilly Boulevard turns into a parking nightmare from the moment the gates open. Voodoo Fest at City Park (1 Palm Dr, New Orleans, LA 70124) brings the same challenge in October, with Marconi Drive and Wisner Boulevard both crawling hours before headliners take the stage. Jazz Fest’s official FAQ says there is no parking or unloading on-site for oversized vehicles such as charter buses, so a group needs an off-site arrival plan before festival day.
Instead of splitting your group into cars and meeting up inside — if you find each other at all — a party bus rental from Kenner keeps everyone together from the first stop to the last set. You set the pickup time, you pick the drop-off point, and the bus handles the Pontchartrain Expressway and the festival approach so your group walks in together. For multi-day festival weekends, a charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays gives everyone room for gear, chairs, and everything else a full day on a festival grounds demands.
Shuttle Buses to Tipitina's, the Saenger Theatre, and Mid-City Music Venues
New Orleans' club and theatre circuit is one of the best in the country — and one of the most difficult to navigate by car on a busy Saturday night. Tipitina's (501 Napoleon Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115) sits deep in Uptown, where street parking is residential and scarce. The Saenger Theatre (1111 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70112) puts you right on Canal Street, where rideshare staging gets chaotic after a sold-out show.
House of Blues New Orleans (225 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70130) is in the French Quarter, where oversized vehicles and parking don't mix on a weekend night. Tipitina’s says patrons may park in the back of the Rouses parking lot closest to the venue, giving smaller groups one published parking option to know before the show.
A minibus or Sprinter van from Kenner threads through all of it — dropping your group at the door and picking everyone up at an agreed curb when the last song ends. No one's circling the block. No one's paying $40 to park six blocks away.
The Saenger’s official visitor information recommends the University Garage at 145 Roosevelt Way at $30 per car, with parking opening two hours before the event, so groups comparing vehicles can account for a published alternative to street parking. Confirm drop-off logistics directly with each venue before your visit, since French Quarter access rules shift by event and by time of night.
Bus Rentals for Lakefront Arena and UNO Concert Events
Lakefront Arena (6801 Franklin Ave, New Orleans, LA 70122) sits on the University of New Orleans campus right along the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain — about 12 miles from Kenner via I-10 East and the Elysian Fields exit. It's a mid-size venue, capacity around 5,000, which means parking in the surrounding UNO lots fills up faster than most first-time visitors expect on a major show night. Leon H. Cannizzaro Jr. Lakeshore Park is nearby, but walking back to a remote car after a late show along Franklin Avenue isn't the plan anyone wants.
A concert bus rental from Kenner drops your group at the Lakefront Arena entrance and holds nearby so the pickup is waiting when you walk out. For groups of 15 to 35, a minibus is the right fit — comfortable reclining seats, overhead storage, and WiFi for the ride home. Confirm current parking and drop-off access on the Lakefront Arena directions and parking page before show night.

Concert Shuttle Buses for Groups Arriving at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport
Flying in for Jazz Fest, a stadium show, or a festival weekend? Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) (1 Terminal Dr, Kenner, LA 70062) sits right in Kenner — which means your group can land, collect bags, and board a waiting concert shuttle without touching I-10 on your own. That's a significant advantage over groups trying to coordinate rideshares from baggage claim when five flights land within the same hour.
A charter bus or minibus rental meets your group at the airport’s designated Ground Transportation Center and takes you straight to your hotel, your Airbnb, or directly to the venue — no connections, no transfer hassles, no surge pricing before the show even starts. Review the MSY ground transportation page for current staging and pickup-zone details, and confirm your arrival door with your booking when you reserve. Call 504-445-4710 to build a custom airport-to-venue package around your flight times!
