Frequently Asked Questions About New Orleans Long-Distance Transportation Services
Charterbusservicesneworleans.com is a quote-comparison and advertising website, not a bus company. You fill out one quick form with your trip details — pickup location, destination, date, and group size — and you are taken to a results page showing vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving New Orleans. Compare your options side by side, choose the bus that fits your group, and book right online.
A live team is also available at 504-380-0210 any day of the year.
For airport pickups, your bus uses the designated Ground Transportation Center at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (1 Terminal Drive, Kenner, LA 70062) and can stage there up to 20 minutes before pickup. Gather everyone and every bag before the bus comes forward, and the airport leg stays organized from curb to highway.
You share your trip details once using the 30-second online quote tool. The platform returns available vehicles and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving your route. Review the options — vehicle type, amenities, and price — then book the bus that works for your group directly through the national booking platform.
No account is required to view pricing or vehicle photos, and a support team is always available at 504-380-0210 to help you put together a custom package.
Yes, and it matters for groups departing from the French Quarter. Full-size motorcoaches over 31 feet are prohibited from most French Quarter interior streets. Groups staging inside the Quarter typically use a minibus or sprinter van for the initial pickup, then connect with a full-size coach at a perimeter staging point on Canal Street, Rampart Street, or Decatur Street near the French Market, where a 15-minute loading limit applies.
Mention your pickup address when you request your quote so the right vehicle is matched to your departure point.
Book three to six months out for most long-distance trips, and stretch that to six months or more for Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday falls on February 17, 2026), Jazz Fest (April 23 through May 3, 2026), Essence Festival (July 4th weekend 2026), the Bayou Classic (November 28, 2026), and LSU home football Saturdays in Baton Rouge. These are the highest-demand windows in the region, and waiting until the last minute means premium pricing and limited vehicle availability. Call 504-380-0210 to check what is open for your date right now.
No. For multi-day trips or long-distance runs where the driver requires an overnight stay, hotel accommodations for the driver are not included in a quote generated through Charterbusservicesneworleans.com. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Hours of Service rules require that drivers have adequate rest on extended trips — for destinations like Atlanta (470 miles, ~7 hours) or Nashville (510 miles, ~7.5 hours), plan for driver lodging as a separate cost. Mention your full multi-day itinerary when you request your quote so the operator can account for it.
Yes. The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway carries charter buses between New Orleans and Mandeville, Covington, and the Northshore. The causeway is 24 miles long and charges a cash toll based on axle count and vehicle height (northbound is free).
The maximum vehicle height is 14 feet 6 inches, and weight limits apply — confirm motorcoach clearance with the Causeway Commission at (504) 835-3118 before your trip. Northshore pickups are a common add-on for groups staging across multiple parishes before a long-distance departure.
The most common long-distance runs out of New Orleans go to Baton Rouge (80 miles, ~1.5 hours) for LSU games at Tiger Stadium, Biloxi (90 miles, ~1.5 hours) for the casino corridor at Beau Rivage and Hard Rock, Gulf Shores (190 miles, ~3 hours) for beach retreats, Houston (350 miles, ~5.5 hours) for concerts and conventions at NRG Stadium, Memphis (395 miles, ~6 hours) for Beale Street and FedExForum, and Atlanta (470 miles, ~7 hours) for the Georgia World Congress Center and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
