Need a sprinter van for eight friends heading to Tipitina's (501 Napoleon Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115)?
Done. Need a 15- to 35-passenger minibus that can navigate the tighter Uptown streets without the full-size headache? Perfect.

Get Your Group to Smoothie King Center Without the Post-Show Scramble
Let Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com handle the hardest part of a big arena show night! After a concert at Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Dr, New Orleans, LA 70113), rideshare pickup is pushed all the way to the corner of Girod Street and Loyola Avenue — an estimated 6 to 8 minute walk from the main gates through a crowd of 17,000 people, at peak surge pricing. A charter bus or minibus drops your group curbside on Dave Dixon Drive at the main entrance plaza, then stages nearby and picks everyone up right where you walked out.
No surge. No scramble. No hunting for your ride in a sea of people.

Navigate French Quarter Concert Venues Without the Permit Headache
You don't have to figure out the French Quarter's vehicle rules on your own — Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com makes it easy to find the right bus for the job! Full-size motorcoaches over 31 feet may not operate in the Vieux Carré — and the designated bus loading zones on Decatur Street near the French Market carry a 15-minute limit. A minibus under 31 feet skips the permit requirement entirely and has far more flexibility navigating the Quarter.
Whether your group is heading to House of Blues (225 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70130) or catching a late set at Preservation Hall (726 St Peter St, New Orleans, LA 70116), compare the right vehicle size for your group through Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com and let the network handle the rest!
That is a hard size limit, not a paperwork workaround: vehicles between 20 and 31 feet must stay on the city's approved streets plan, while movement restrictions apply during 7–9 a.m. and 4–6 p.m. peak hours. Your bus avoids the over-31-foot ban by using an under-31-foot vehicle suited to the Quarter route, with the City of New Orleans French Quarter charter-bus rules spelling out the street limits.
Get Online Quote for Jazz Fest, Essence Festival, and Every Major New Orleans Concert Event
Get online pricing in under 30 seconds for the biggest weekends on the New Orleans concert calendar! Jazz Fest at the Fair Grounds Race Course is the single busiest bus-rental weekend of the year in New Orleans — book six months out or more. Essence Festival runs July 2 through 6, 2026, drawing 500,000+ attendees to the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112) and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (900 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70130).
French Quarter Festival fills April 16 through 19, 2026. And Voodoo Fest returns to City Park (1 Palm Dr, New Orleans, LA 70124) around Halloween weekend. These dates fill fast — use the quote tool or call 504-334-1320 today to lock in your bus before availability disappears!
Jazz Fest is a bus-planning exception: the 2027 festival runs April 22–25 and April 29–May 2, 2027, and there is no onsite parking or unloading for charter buses. Your bus drops everyone at a Jazz Fest Express departure point at the Steamboat Natchez Dock, Sheraton New Orleans, Hyatt Regency, or Wisner Lot, then the group rides inside the gates; the official New Orleans Jazz Fest transportation and parking FAQ has the full departure-point list.
Choose the Right Bus Size for Canal Street Theaters and Uptown Clubs
Choose from a full range of vehicle types through Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com, and match the bus to the venue your group is actually going to! The Saenger Theatre (1111 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70112) and the Joy Theater (1200 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70112) both sit on Canal Street, where buses pull to the right-hand curb lane and drop curbside in front of the marquee — just stay clear of the streetcar tracks running through the neutral ground. For smaller Uptown clubs like Tipitina's, a 15- to 35-passenger minibus handles the narrower residential streets far better than a full-size coach.
And for a show at the Mahalia Jackson Theater (1419 Basin St, New Orleans, LA 70116), buses drop on Basin Street right at the main entrance. Compare the right size for YOUR venue through Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com — all in one quick form!
Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com Makes It Possible to Keep the Party Rolling Between Venues All Night Long
Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com makes it possible to turn a single concert into a full New Orleans music night — because the city never stops at one venue! Start with dinner in the CBD, catch the opener at the Orpheum Theater (129 Roosevelt Way, New Orleans, LA 70112), then keep the energy going with a late set on Frenchmen Street in the Marigny before the bus brings everyone home. A 15- to 50-passenger party bus comes loaded with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, and flat-panel TVs — so the night starts the moment everyone boards, not the moment you walk through the venue doors.
You set the itinerary. You plan the stops. You enjoy the ride!

Charter buses and minibuses drop off curbside on Dave Dixon Drive at the main entrance plaza on the north side of the building. After drop-off, buses stage in the Caesars Superdome surface lots (Lot C or Lot D off Poydras Street) or along the Champions Square perimeter. Coordinate oversized vehicle parking in advance through Smoothie King Center guest services at (504) 587-3663, since lot assignments are handled on a per-event basis.
Confirm current details on the Smoothie King Center plan your visit page before your show.
Full-size motorcoaches over 31 feet may not operate in the Vieux Carré, and designated bus loading zones on Decatur Street near the French Market carry a 15-minute loading limit. A minibus under 31 feet skips the permit requirement and has more flexibility on Quarter streets. For venues like House of Blues (225 Decatur St) and Preservation Hall (726 St Peter St), buses drop on Decatur Street or Rampart Street, with a 3 to 7 minute walk to the entrance depending on the drop point.
Book three to six months out for most New Orleans concerts. For Jazz Fest (late April through early May), Essence Festival (July 2–6, 2026), French Quarter Festival (April 16–19, 2026), and Voodoo Fest (Halloween weekend), six months or more is the right window — these are the highest-demand weekends in the entire New Orleans market. Waiting until the last minute means higher rates, limited vehicle selection, or no availability at all.

A 15- to 35-passenger minibus or a sprinter van is almost always the better call for Uptown venues like Tipitina's. The residential streets surrounding Napoleon Avenue and Tchoupitoulas Street are narrower than downtown corridors, and a compact vehicle drops your group cleanly in the white zone on Napoleon Avenue without the maneuvering challenge that a full-size 56-passenger coach brings. Buses can stage on Tchoupitoulas Street, one block toward the river, while your group is inside.
Compare minibuses and sprinter vans through Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com to find the right fit!
Absolutely! A 15- to 50-passenger party bus is one of the most popular options for a New Orleans music night that hits more than one stop. Party buses come with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, and flat-panel TVs, so the energy stays high from the first pickup through the last drop-off.
You set the itinerary — Orpheum Theater, Frenchmen Street, House of Blues, wherever the night takes you — and the bus runs on your schedule. Compare party buses from a network of independent operators serving New Orleans through Neworleanscoachbuscompany.com, and get pricing in under 30 seconds by calling 504-334-1320 or using the online quote tool!
Charter buses serving the Caesars Superdome campus and Champions Square events drop off along the Champions Square promenade on the east side of the campus, accessed via Poydras Street. Oversized vehicle parking is available in Lot 1 on the Sugar Bowl Drive side and Lot 3 on the Poydras Street side; rates run $40 to $75 or more per vehicle on event days and are dynamically priced, so they must be purchased in advance. Confirm current lot assignments and pricing on the Caesars Superdome parking page before your event, since assignments shift by show.
