Party Bus New Orleans and Limo Service New Orleans, Priced Before You Pay

New Orleans plans its fun in groups. A bachelorette party of eleven, a wedding with a second line, a convention dinner for thirty, a Saints game with the whole office: that is why party bus New Orleans is searched more than any other chauffeur phrase in the city, and why a vehicle big enough for everyone, with one fixed price, matters here more than in most places.

NiagaraFallsLimo.net is a reservations desk based in Niagara, Canada, that books chauffeured transportation across the United States. In New Orleans, the vehicle and the chauffeur are provided by an independent, licensed and commercially insured operator in the LimousineWorldwide.Directory network. We take your booking, hold the operator to our standard, and stay your point of contact the whole way through. We have no New Orleans office or garage, and we do not claim one.

The booker prices any address in the metro area: point to point, return trips, multi-stop nights and "By the hour" bookings. The fare it shows is all-in, before you pay. For airport arrivals the chauffeur tracks your flight; meet & greet, child seats and a wheelchair option are all chosen in the booker.

Bachelorette and bachelor weekends

This is the city's signature group booking, and it has its own logistics.

• Sizing the vehicle. The booker offers a Party Bus for up to 12, a Stretch Limousine for up to 8, a Stretch SUV Limousine for up to 16 and an Executive Sprinter for up to 12. For bigger parties, coaches are available on request. Availability for every stretch and party class is confirmed at booking.
• Plotting the stops. A typical evening runs from a Garden District or Warehouse District rental to dinner, then to Frenchmen Street for live music, then back. Put every stop in the booker's multi-stop mode, or book "By the hour" and let the night run.
• No drinking on board. New Orleans is famous for its go-cups, but the rule for any vehicle booked through us is the same as in Niagara: no drinking in the car, and the chauffeur never drinks. The vehicle is the safe way between places, not the bar.

Our bachelor and bachelorette limo and party bus pages explain how group bookings, deposits and timing work.

Getting into the French Quarter by car

The French Quarter (the Vieux Carré) is a grid of narrow one-way streets built long before cars. Several facts shape every pickup there:

• Bourbon Street and other blocks are often closed to vehicles during big events and busy nights; the City of New Orleans publishes closure notices for each major event on nola.gov.
• A stretch limousine or party bus cannot turn into every Quarter street, so the chauffeur will usually stop on a wider edge street such as Canal Street, North Rampart Street or Decatur Street, or at your hotel's own entrance.
• Many hotels on Canal Street and in the Central Business District have proper drive-up entrances, which makes them the easiest pickup points for large vehicles.

Give the booker your exact hotel or rental address, and add a note if it sits on a pedestrian block. The chauffeur will message an agreed corner. That is one advantage of a known chauffeur over a rideshare that may cancel when the pin lands on a closed street.

New Orleans airport car service at MSY

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is not in New Orleans proper; it sits west of the city in Kenner, on the far side of Metairie. Interstate 10 is the direct route into town, and it is also where the evening traffic builds.

Typical times from MSY:

• French Quarter and Central Business District: about 26 km (16 mi), usually 25–40 minutes.
• Convention centre and Warehouse District hotels: similar distance, usually 25–40 minutes.
• Uptown and the Garden District: usually 30–45 minutes, depending on the I-10 merge and St. Charles Avenue traffic.

The airport is open 24 hours. Arrivals collect bags on Level 1 Baggage Claim, and the airport's Ground Transportation Center sits outside Level 1 Baggage Claim, where courtesy shuttles use Doors 1 through 5, as described on MSY's shuttles page. For a booking through us, the chauffeur either waits inside with a name board (if you add meet & greet) or messages the exact door. Our meet and greet service explains both options.

Superdome, Smoothie King Center and game nights

The Caesars Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints, and the Smoothie King Center next door, home of the Pelicans, sit together on the edge of the Central Business District. When both host events on the same evening, Poydras Street and the surrounding blocks are some of the most congested in the city. The Caesars Superdome official site lists events, entry rules and bag policies.

For game nights and concerts, the classic booking is a group drop-off at an agreed corner before the event and a pickup at a pre-set point afterwards. Write both points in the booking notes. If the plan changes during the event, message the desk. Our concerts and sports transportation page has more ideas for event nights.

Black car and chauffeur service for conventions and business

The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center stretches along the riverfront in the Warehouse District and brings in large conventions through much of the year. The convention centre's official site lists upcoming shows. When a big show opens, hotels in the CBD fill and the convention centre's drop-off lanes back up at peak hours.

What business travellers usually book:

• Standard Sedan or Mercedes-Benz E / S-Class from MSY to a CBD hotel, with the return booked at the same time.
• Executive Black SUV for a small team and a client dinner Uptown.
• "By the hour" as directed for a day of meetings between the CBD, the convention centre and offices in Metairie. Our hourly chauffeur service explains how the car stays with you.
• Executive Sprinter for an off-site dinner with up to 12 people.

Discretion is part of the job, and an NDA can be arranged on request. See the vehicle classes on our fleet page; in New Orleans every class is confirmed at booking.

Weddings, Mardi Gras and festival season

New Orleans weddings often move: a ceremony in one neighbourhood, photos in a historic square, a reception in a ballroom or a courtyard somewhere else. A Stretch Limousine for the couple and a Sprinter or coach for the wedding party is a common combination. Our wedding limo service page covers planning and timing.

During the weeks before Mardi Gras Day, parade routes close streets Uptown, along St. Charles Avenue and downtown, and large parts of the city become very hard to drive across. The city's Mardi Gras information page links route and traffic information. If you are booking in parade season, tell us your hotel and your plans, and the chauffeur will plan around closures, which can mean an earlier pickup and a walk to the vehicle. Festival weekends in spring bring similar pressure, so book early.

Cruise transfers to the Mississippi riverfront

The Port of New Orleans runs its cruise terminals on Port of New Orleans Place along the river, upriver from the French Quarter near the convention centre. The Port lists the Erato Street Cruise Terminal and the Julia Street Cruise Terminal, and warns drivers not to try entering Port of New Orleans Place from Julia Street or Poydras Street. The Port's parking and directions page has the details.

Book MSY to the terminal, or your hotel to the terminal, and the return for disembarkation morning, with the ship name and terminal in the notes. Our cruise transfer service page has more on luggage and timing.

Comparing ways to get around New Orleans

The fair verdict: for two people with light bags going from MSY to a CBD hotel in daylight, a taxi or a rideshare is perfectly fine, and the St. Charles streetcar is a pleasure for short hops once you are in town. A pre-booked chauffeur is the better choice for a group that wants to stay together, a wedding with a timetable, a late arrival, a cruise morning, or any night when you want the price settled before the evening begins. Our chauffeur vs taxi vs rideshare guide sets out the trade-offs.

How to book in New Orleans in 3 steps

1. Enter the plan. MSY with your flight number, a hotel, a rental address, the cruise terminal or the Superdome, plus date and time. Add every stop if it is a night out.
2. Choose the vehicle. Each class shows its own fixed fare, from a sedan to a party bus.
3. Add guests and pay. Passenger count, bags, seats, meet & greet, notes for the chauffeur; pay securely and the confirmation arrives by email.

Reserve your New Orleans vehicle

New Orleans to Niagara Falls

It is about 2,023 km (1,257 mi) by road from New Orleans to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, roughly 23–25 hours of driving before the border. That is two or three days in a car, so we do not suggest it as one booking.

Fly north instead and let us take the final stretch:

• Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF): from the arrivals curb it is 35–40 km (22–25 mi), around 35–50 minutes, to the Canadian side, plus whatever the bridge adds that day. Use our Buffalo Niagara airport transfer page.
• Toronto Pearson (YYZ): the longer ride, 125–135 km (78–84 mi) round the western end of Lake Ontario, generally 1 h 20 – 1 h 45 when the highway is moving. See our Toronto Pearson airport transfer page.

Check with your airline whether a nonstop operates on your dates. From BUF, the chauffeur drives you across the border, and every passenger carries their own documents: US citizens can use a passport, a passport card, an enhanced driver's licence or a NEXUS card. Our border crossing guide and the checklist of documents for entering Canada cover the details.

On the Niagara side, look at our Niagara Falls tour packages, the private Niagara Falls tour, Niagara Falls hotels and the travel desk for planning the stay.
