You fill out one quick form or call 504-607-7900, and in seconds you are looking at vehicles and prices from multiple providers instead of calling around and waiting on callbacks. Kennercharterbuscompany.com is an advertising and referral website and does not own or operate any vehicles. The benefit to you is choice — more bus types, more price points, and more packages than any one local company can offer.
No — Kennercharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving Kenner and the surrounding area. The transportation itself is carried out by those independent operators.
Think of Kennercharterbuscompany.com as the tool that puts your trip in front of a whole field of providers at once, so you see options and pricing quickly rather than piecing them together yourself one company at a time.
When you search on your own, you call one company, describe your trip, and get one price — then you do it again, and again. With Kennercharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 504-607-7900 and see vehicles and rates from a whole network of providers serving Kenner in seconds. More options land in front of you at once, different price points are easy to compare side by side, and the time you would have spent calling around goes back into your day.
An independently owned transportation company serving Kenner. Once you fill out the quote form, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, and the price that work for your group. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price.
The specific transportation company confirmed to the booking is communicated to you after the reservation is complete.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page or call 504-607-7900 with your trip details. You are taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website — that booking company partners with independently owned operators serving the Kenner area, and their vehicles and prices are what you see on that results page. Right there on their website, you choose the vehicle and the price that fit your trip and book it directly online.
What you are selecting is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list.
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, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities that matter to the trip — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you can find for your group.
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 booking company's website and see quotes immediately. If you would rather go through it with someone, call 504-607-7900 and a live agent can walk you through the options on the spot.
The earlier the better on a popular date, and a specific vehicle or a larger group should go further ahead. That said, because Kennercharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Kenner area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 504-607-7900 even if the date is close.
You may have more options than you expect.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great when the itinerary is open or the group wants flexibility. 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 along the way, like a brewery crawl through New Orleans or a shuttle looping between a hotel and the Pontchartrain Center (4545 Williams Blvd, Kenner, LA 70065) during a multi-day event. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits depends entirely on the trip itself — and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full with the request so it comes back 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. Pricing is not one size fits all — different packages exist, and a number of things move a quote up or down, so those ranges are a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see a number for your specific trip is to fill out the form and see pricing in seconds.
Or call 504-607-7900 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find searching on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours — say, a shuttle from a Kenner hotel to the Caesars Superdome (1500 Sugar Bowl Drive, New Orleans, LA 70112) for a Saints game and back — is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance, roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark or heading well out of the region toward Houston or Atlanta, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies.
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 all move the number. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and 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, dates that overlap with Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Essence Festival, and Saints home games at the Superdome pull hard on the whole Greater New Orleans market — those dates carry higher prices and tighter availability than a quiet Tuesday in February. Booking ahead on those dates is the single most effective move for keeping the cost 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, and its own stops — rather than riding 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 people.
On the outside, a charter bus is a full-size coach body, tall and long, with high tinted windows running the length of the vehicle and luggage bay doors along the lower panels. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or another solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that shows up will not always look the same from one booking to the next. Inside, you find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with seat fabric in cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear. Common makes include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all full-size coaches with the same general layout, distinguished by details in the seat design, window profile, and interior finish.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi and power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include any combination of these depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle — never every item on every coach. Note the amenities that matter most to your group when you submit the trip details, since that narrows which vehicles come back as matches.
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, 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 or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Kennercharterbuscompany.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 504-607-7900 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. The layout is forward-facing paired seating with one aisle down the middle — straightforward enough that anyone can picture it. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly for the view.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the measurement that matters when a group is checking whether a bus fits a particular drop-off lane or parking area.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — but 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 overhead clearances for 12 feet. A useful comparison: a little taller than the first floor of a house. That is the figure that matters when a group is checking a covered drop-off lane, a parking garage, or any overhead structure along the route.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. That said, onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries — whether a given vehicle has it varies. One thing worth setting the right expectation on: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, and browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once.
If WiFi matters to your group, note it with the trip details when you submit the request, since that narrows which vehicles come back.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It is there so a group does not have to stop, and on a long run the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. Amenities may include an onboard restroom depending on the specific vehicle, so note it with your trip details if it matters to the 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. What that means practically is that a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run from Kenner to Houston or Atlanta without hunting for a plug.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs it.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays sit underneath the vehicle along both sides. 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 regular bags. If your group is traveling to a Saints game at the Caesars Superdome with tailgate supplies, or heading to Gulf Shores for a multi-day trip with full luggage, state the luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group.
Charter Bus Service in Kenner, Louisiana
Any group that needs to move together, and any event that draws one. Airport transfers to and from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) (1 Terminal Drive, Kenner, LA 70062) — which sits right inside Kenner city limits — are one of the most common requests. Corporate travel and employee shuttles keep teams moving between offices, hotels, and event venues without the parking scramble.
Weddings and private events use shuttles to move guests between hotel blocks and venues. Concerts and sporting events at the Superdome and Smoothie King Center keep groups together instead of splitting into rideshares. School and church group trips, government and military moves, brewery and distillery tours through New Orleans, prom, and long-distance travel to Houston, Atlanta, Gulf Shores, and beyond are all workable.
If a group needs to get somewhere together, there is a bus in the network for it.
Kennercharterbuscompany.com helps you find bus rentals serving Kenner and the entire Greater New Orleans region. Nearby cities the network regularly serves include Metairie, Harahan, River Ridge, Elmwood, Westwego, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, and New Orleans itself — and coverage extends across Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, St. Tammany Parish, and St. Charles Parish. Those are examples, not the full list.

Mardi Gras is the single busiest stretch of the year across Greater New Orleans — Fat Tuesday falls on February 17, 2026 and February 9, 2027, and the whole market gets tight for two weeks on either side of it. Jazz Fest (late April through early May at the Fair Grounds Race Course) and Essence Festival (July 4th weekend at the Superdome) pull enormous demand. Saints home games at the Caesars Superdome and the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day are high-demand single days.
Prom season in April and May across Jefferson Parish high schools — including Bonnabel Magnet Academy and Archbishop Rummel — fills party buses fast. On those dates, the entire market moves early. Book well ahead for any of them, and submit the request even on short notice — the network is wider than any one company's yard.
Planning Your Kenner, Louisiana Charter Bus Trip
The most important one is right in your backyard. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) (1 Terminal Drive, Kenner, LA 70062; Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport) is located within Kenner city limits, roughly 5 to 10 minutes from most Kenner addresses. Charter buses and other commercial ground transportation pick up at designated vehicle staging zones on the arrivals level, following the airport's own guidelines for commercial vehicles — confirm the exact pickup point for your date when you request your quote, since staging can shift with construction and event traffic.
For groups flying into a secondary option, Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) (9430 Jackie Cochran Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70807) is approximately 75 miles and 1 hour 15 minutes northwest via I-10 West. Have your group fully assembled with all luggage before calling the bus forward — that keeps the pickup clean and on schedule.
The biggest venues are a straight shot down I-10 East. Caesars Superdome is home to the New Orleans Saints and hosts the Sugar Bowl, college football playoff games, and stadium-level concerts — approximately 20 to 25 minutes from Kenner. Smoothie King Center (1501 Dave Dixon Drive, New Orleans, LA 70113), directly adjacent, is home to the New Orleans Pelicans and hosts major concerts year-round.
Yulman Stadium at Tulane University (2900 Ben Weiner Drive, New Orleans, LA 70118) hosts Tulane Green Wave football approximately 25 to 30 minutes away. On game days and event nights, traffic on I-10 through the High Rise bridge over the Industrial Canal backs up well before kickoff — build extra time into the itinerary and note the event when you submit the request so the schedule accounts for it.
The network serves convention centers and event venues, including one right in Kenner. The Pontchartrain Center (4545 Williams Blvd, Kenner, LA 70065; (504) 465-9985) is the primary convention and event facility in Kenner, with 40,000 square feet of event space hosting trade shows, graduations, proms, and private events. For larger conventions, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (900 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70130; New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center) is one of the largest in the United States at 1.1 million square feet of exhibit space — approximately 25 to 30 minutes from Kenner via I-10 East.
Large venues like Morial have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance; a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a convention venue should have its full schedule — run times, headcount, and stops — laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. In Kenner, the Chateau Golf & Country Club (3600 Chateau Blvd, Kenner, LA 70065; (504) 467-1351) hosts weddings and private events, and the Pontchartrain Center handles receptions and large celebrations. Groups often extend into New Orleans for venues like the Audubon Tea Room (6500 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70118), The Elms Mansion (3029 St. Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115), and the historic hotels along St. Charles Avenue — all 20 to 30 minutes from Kenner.
The most common wedding shuttle setup is a loop between the hotel block and the venue, running guests out for the ceremony and back after the reception. Give the exact venue address with the request and the right vehicle gets matched to the route.
The network serves field trips and team travel throughout Jefferson Parish and the broader metro. In Kenner, Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School (2801 Bruin Drive, Kenner, LA 70065) and Kenner Discovery Health Sciences Academy are common origination points. Archbishop Rummel High School (1901 Severn Ave, Metairie, LA 70001) serves the area for private school travel.
For college trips, Delgado Community College (615 City Park Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119), Tulane University (6823 St. Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70118), Loyola University New Orleans (6363 St. Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70118), and the University of New Orleans (2000 Lakeshore Drive, New Orleans, LA 70148) are all approximately 25 to 30 minutes from Kenner. Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself; include the exact headcount, any chaperone count, and accessibility needs with the request.
The options within a short ride of Kenner are genuinely good. For casinos, Boomtown Casino New Orleans (4132 Peters Rd, Harvey, LA 70058) is approximately 15 to 20 minutes south via the Westbank Expressway, and Caesars New Orleans (8 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70130) is approximately 25 minutes east on I-10. For craft beer, NOLA Brewing Company (3033 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70115) and Zony Mash Beer Project (3940 Thalia St, New Orleans, LA 70125) are natural loop stops about 20 to 25 minutes out, with Courtyard Brewery and Parleaux Beer Lab (634 Lesseps St, New Orleans, LA 70117) rounding out a full afternoon.
The Sazerac House (101 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70130) adds a distillery stop about 25 minutes from Kenner. For nightlife, Bourbon Street and the French Quarter and Frenchmen Street in the Marigny are the anchors — 25 to 30 minutes from Kenner. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop, so list the stops and how long you plan to be at each one with the request so the hours come back right.
Yes — long-distance charters from Kenner are a regular part of what the network handles. Gulf Shores, Alabama is approximately 175 miles and 2 hours 45 minutes east on I-10; Pensacola, Florida is about 200 miles and 3 hours. Baton Rouge is 75 miles and 1 hour 15 minutes west, and Jackson, Mississippi is 185 miles and 2 hours 45 minutes north on I-55.
For longer hauls, Houston, Texas is approximately 350 miles and 5 hours on I-10 West, Memphis, Tennessee is about 395 miles and 6 hours on I-55 North, and Atlanta, Georgia is approximately 470 miles and 7 hours on I-59 North. A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day charter rather than by the hour, and overnight trips need the full itinerary — dates, stops, and overnight location — laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
