No — Busrentalkenner.com is a comparison and referral website.

When you search on your own, you call one company, hear what they have, and move on to the next. With Busrentalkenner.com, you fill out one form — or make one call to 504-221-2410 — and immediately see vehicles and pricing from a whole network of providers serving Kenner, all on one results page.

That is time back in your day, and a better shot at finding the right bus at the right price.
An independently owned transportation company serving Kenner. When you fill out the quote form, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle and price that suit your trip. What you are selecting there is a vehicle — the specific independently owned operator assigned to your booking is confirmed to you after you book.
The booking platform partners with different operators serving the area, so the network is broader than any single company's yard.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 504-221-2410 — with your trip details. As soon as you submit, you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving the Kenner area, and right there on their site you can see available vehicles, pricing, and photos for your specific trip.
What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price. Book the one that fits, and you are done — all online, in minutes.
Start with the basics: your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you add — your stops, start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities your group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better your chances of finding the right vehicle at the right price. More detail in means better results out.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page on the national booking platform and see quotes for your trip. If you would rather go through it with someone, call 504-221-2410 and a live agent will walk you through your options right then.
Earlier is always better for a popular date, and a specific vehicle or a large group goes further ahead than a flexible one. That said, because Busrentalkenner.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Kenner area rather than a single operator with a single yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — you have far more options here than you would calling one company and being told no. Submit the request or call 504-221-2410 even if the date is close.
The network is bigger than you think, and the worst answer is still just "let's see what's available."
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and works well when the itinerary is flexible or the group is moving around. A one-way transfer moves everyone from one point to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops — a pub crawl through the French Quarter and Frenchmen Street, for example, or a shuttle loop between a hotel on Veterans Memorial Boulevard and a venue across the metro. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a run to Gulf Shores or Biloxi.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself. If your itinerary has multiple stops or runs overnight, lay it all out with the request so the quote comes back timed and priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are the ranges — your actual price depends on the specific vehicle, the date, the route, and how long you need the bus, so the range is a starting point rather than your number. The fastest way to see pricing for your trip is to fill out the form and land on the results page in seconds.
Or call 504-221-2410 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading from Kenner out to Houston, Atlanta, or Orlando — may carry a per-mile charge instead of stacked hours.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day that a flat daily figure makes more sense than counting hours. Submit the actual trip and the results page will reflect which structure applies to your itinerary.
Six things move a charter bus quote: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices lower than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. In Kenner specifically, Mardi Gras weekends, Jazz Fest weekends, Essence Festival weekend, and Saints home Sundays all push the whole metro market — those dates book early and price higher.
If your date is flexible, moving it off a peak weekend is one of the most direct ways to bring the quote down.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule, going where the group needs to go rather than following a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 passengers.
Outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall coach body — high tinted windows running the full length of both sides, luggage bay doors along the bottom skirt, and a smooth exterior that is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color. Some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up will not always look the same. Popular makes include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all roughly the same silhouette, all 45 feet long.
Inside, forward-facing seats are arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, in cloth or leather depending on the model. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin above the seats. A restroom sits toward the rear.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, 110-volt power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with microphone, and TV monitors. Features may include any of these depending on the make, model, and operator — not every coach carries every option, and what a specific vehicle has is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities your group needs, note them with your trip details so the results page narrows to vehicles that have them.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model — with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same, 56 standard and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
What changes the count on the same coach is configuration — extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position each take seats out. Because Busrentalkenner.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 504-221-2410 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position. Some coaches tier the front rows slightly higher for a better sightline, but the layout is otherwise consistent across full-size models.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in perspective: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the reason people ask — they are working out whether one fits somewhere.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those come up when a venue or a route has a tighter constraint. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design for 12 feet. That is a little taller than a single story of a house — which is the comparison most people find useful when they are checking clearance at a parking structure or a venue entrance. Use 12 feet as the planning figure.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. The accurate point: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. And it is worth setting the expectation honestly — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach: phones, messaging, browsing.
It is not built for 50 or 60 people doing heavy streaming or video calls at once. If WiFi matters to your group, note it with the trip details so the results page shows vehicles that have it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, sitting toward the rear of the coach. It is there so a group does not have to stop, and on a long run from Kenner out to Atlanta or Orlando the trip may still be planned with real rest stops along the way. Availability may include a restroom depending on the specific vehicle, so note it with your trip details if it is important to your group.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run from Kenner to Biloxi or Houston without anyone running out of battery.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays sit beneath the floor along the sides of the bus. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — which in practice is about one checked-size bag per person below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several bags. If your group is traveling with oversized or unusually heavy items, state that with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group.
Charter Bus Service in Kenner, Louisiana
Any group, any event. Airport transfers to and from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) — which sits right inside Kenner — are one of the most common requests, and the network handles them in every direction. Corporate travel and employee shuttles move teams between Jefferson Parish offices and venues across the metro.
Weddings and private events get hotel-to-venue shuttle loops set up from one request. Concert and festival groups ride together to Jazz Fest, Essence Festival, and shows at Caesars Superdome and Smoothie King Center. Sporting event groups get to Saints games and Tulane football without the I-10 parking scramble.
School and church groups handle field trips and retreats in one vehicle. Government and military groups move personnel efficiently across the region. Brewery and distillery tours run loops through the metro's growing craft scene.
Prom groups book early and arrive together. And long-distance trips — Biloxi, Gulf Shores, Houston, Atlanta, Orlando — are handled as one-way transfers or multi-day bookings.
The network serves Kenner and the entire surrounding region — Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, and well beyond. Nearby cities served include Metairie, Harahan, River Ridge, Elmwood, Westwego, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, and Avondale in Jefferson Parish, plus New Orleans and its neighborhoods throughout Orleans Parish. The listed cities are examples, not the full coverage area.
Enter the full route in the quote form or call 504-221-2410 to check a city that is not listed — the network reaches farther than any short list suggests.
Mardi Gras is the single busiest stretch of the year for the entire New Orleans metro — Fat Tuesday falls February 17, 2026 and February 9, 2027, and the two weeks of parades leading up to it fill the market fast. Jazz Fest (last weekend of April through first weekend of May) draws 400,000–500,000 people to the Fair Grounds and takes the whole market. Essence Festival over July 4th weekend and the Sugar Bowl on January 1 do the same.
New Orleans Saints home Sundays from September through January run eight times a season. Prom season across Jefferson Parish schools runs April through May, and graduation season at Tulane, Loyola, UNO, and Delgado runs May through June. On those dates, the whole local market goes early.
Book well ahead for any of them — and if the date is already close, submit the request anyway, because the network here is broader than any single operator.
