Charter bus rentals in Baton Rouge typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, depending on the size and type of vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and season.

Charter bus pricing in Baton Rouge is based on several factors: the type and size of the vehicle (minibus, full-size motorcoach, party bus, etc.), the total distance traveled, the length of the trip (hours or days), time of year, and any special amenities requested. Additional costs such as tolls, parking, and driver lodging may also apply. Peak seasons—like LSU football weekends or spring festival months—can increase rates due to high demand.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your Baton Rouge charter bus reservation. This deposit is typically due at the time of booking and is applied toward the total cost of the rental. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the start of your trip. Specific deposit amounts and payment deadlines will be provided in your rental agreement.

The final payment for your Baton Rouge charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Exact payment deadlines will be outlined in your contract, but full payment is generally required several days to weeks prior to departure. We accept various forms of payment, including major credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers. Please contact our team if you have questions about your payment schedule.

Yes, standard driver gratuity is included in your Baton Rouge charter bus quote. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to offer an additional tip—typically 10–20% of the total rental cost. Extra gratuity can be given directly to the driver in cash at the end of the trip.

It’s best to book your Baton Rouge charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak travel times like spring and fall (LSU football season, graduations, or festival weekends).

Yes, for multi-day trips that require an overnight stay, you’ll need to provide hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer safe, secure parking for the bus and be rated at least two stars or better. Most groups book the driver’s room at the same property where they’re staying to simplify logistics. If your itinerary includes multiple nights away from Baton Rouge—such as a band trip to Atlanta or a sports tournament in Houston—be sure to reserve a room for each night the driver is on the road with your group.

No, your Baton Rouge charter bus quote covers the rental of the vehicle, driver’s wages, fuel, and standard insurance, but it does not include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or special permits. Any tolls incurred during the trip—such as crossing the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway or using I-10 express lanes—are the responsibility of the client. Similarly, parking fees at hotels, event venues, or city lots must be paid separately. Be sure to budget for these extra costs when planning your trip.

Charter bus parking in Baton Rouge is available at several locations across the city. Popular options include designated bus parking areas near LSU campus (such as Lot 412 or the Parker Coliseum lot), the Raising Cane’s River Center garage, and large event venues like Alex Box Stadium or Tiger Stadium. Downtown Baton Rouge offers limited on-street bus parking, but groups can utilize surface lots near North Boulevard Town Square or the State Capitol complex. Many hotels and shopping centers also accommodate bus parking with prior arrangement. Always confirm parking availability in advance, as some locations require reservations or charge fees.

Baton Rouge’s public transit is operated by CATS (Capital Area Transit System), which offers fixed-route bus service throughout the city and limited paratransit options. While CATS is useful for individual commuters, it lacks the flexibility and coverage needed for large groups traveling to specific destinations like LSU, downtown venues, or industrial sites. A private charter bus offers custom scheduling, direct point-to-point service, and modern amenities—making it a far superior option for schools, corporate groups, event attendees, and out-of-town travelers who need reliable transportation tailored to their exact itinerary.

We provide charter bus service to and from all major airports in the Baton Rouge region, including Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR), Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT), and smaller facilities like Hammond Northshore Regional (HDC) and Alexandria International (AEX). Whether you need a hotel shuttle to BTR, a corporate transfer from MSY, or a student pickup at LFT, we can arrange curbside pickup, drop-off, and terminal-to-terminal connections for groups of any size arriving or departing from any airport within 100 miles of Baton Rouge.
