More About The 18 Passenger Party Bus
An 18 passenger party bus is the sweet spot for medium-sized groups who want the energy of a party bus without the cost of a larger coach. It seats up to 18 passengers comfortably — right-sized for a birthday night through the Warehouse District, a bachelorette crawl from Frenchmen Street to Bourbon Street, or a post-Saints-game run from the Caesars Superdome back to your hotel block on Canal Street. The footprint is also practical for New Orleans: an 18-passenger bus navigates tighter urban corridors better than a full-size 56-passenger charter bus, which matters when you're threading through the Marigny or dropping guests at venues along Decatur Street.
For groups larger or smaller, the full vehicle lineup has options from Sprinter vans up to 56-passenger charter buses.
