Houma Party Bus Rentals: Mardi Gras on Da Bayou, the Civic Center & Rougarou Fest

Quotes we have sent across Louisiana start around $275–$400 an hour, which puts a typical four-hour night at $1,100–$1,625. Your price depends on the date, the city, how many hours you need, the bus and your group size. The total depends on hours, how far the bus travels, and the date. A downtown night or a Civic Center show with a hotel pickup is a short local booking. Adding the MSY airport leg to Kenner turns it into a two-hour round trip with waiting. Parade days and graduation weekends are the busiest, so send the same itinerary to a few companies and compare their written totals.

Not on a scheduled airline. Houma-Terrebonne Airport (HUM) handles private and charter aviation, so groups arriving commercially use Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Kenner, about an hour away on US 90 and I-310 in normal traffic. That transfer is the longest leg of most Houma plans, so share the airline, flight, and bag count and ask how airport waiting is billed.

Mardi Gras on Da Bayou brings krewe parades on several days in the weeks before Fat Tuesday along the downtown and West Park Avenue routes, and each parade closes those streets for hours and splits the city. Keep your pickups on one side of the route, check the parade schedule for your date, and ask the provider how detours are priced.

The Civic Center on the east side of town hosts concerts, rodeos, graduations, and Carnival balls that send the whole crowd into the lots at once. Pick a meeting landmark away from the main doors, expect the bus to wait until the lots clear, and ask the driver which entrance group vehicles use that night.

Usually, but tell the provider the exact address. Rural reception venues along the bayous can have gravel drives, low branches, or tight turnarounds that do not suit the longest buses, and the company may suggest a different vehicle. Share the hotel block on Martin Luther King Boulevard and the reception end time so the loops and the late return are planned.

It is a fun one for birthday and costume-loving groups each fall. The festival closes the courthouse-square blocks downtown for the weekend, so the driver will drop you a block or two out and meet you at the same corner afterward. Agree on the landmark before you go and allow time for the walk back when the music ends.

The typical request across our Louisiana-area sites is for about 16 to 18 passengers depending on the market, and about 29% are for 21 or more people, which is where a bigger bus or a coach comes in. That is the Louisiana-wide picture, since we do not publish a separate Houma figure yet; your own headcount is what decides it. Count everyone who is actually getting on, then add room for luggage, coolers, instruments or formalwear. Ask each company for the legal seated capacity of the exact vehicle they're offering. Most Houma requests are for weddings, bachelor parties, and bachelorette parties, and those nights want different amounts of floor space for the same headcount. A bus rated for twenty seats is not twenty comfortable seats in formalwear.
