Kenner Group Transportation: The City That Holds MSY, Rivertown, and the Pontchartrain Center

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.

Yes. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is inside Kenner at 1 Terminal Drive, roughly 11 miles west of downtown New Orleans. A group pickup there follows the terminal’s commercial ground-transportation rules rather than a hotel-style curb, so give the provider the airline, flight, bag count, and the exact meeting point, and ask how airport waiting time is billed if the flight is late.

Kenner requires gathering applications for certain public gatherings, certain private gatherings, and all street closures, and city facilities such as those in Rivertown carry separate rental policies. If your event is on a Kenner street or public property, the permit conditions decide where a bus may stop, so share them with the provider well before the date.

Usually yes, but Kenner permits end at the city line and the eastern legs bring their own constraints: Veterans Boulevard parades in Metairie during Carnival, I-10 congestion, and New Orleans hotel loading rules. List every stop with a street address and jurisdiction so each provider prices the whole route, and check the parade calendar for the date.

The Pontchartrain Center is Kenner’s convention and event venue at the north end of Williams Boulevard near the Laketown lakefront, hosting trade shows, concerts, and conventions. Corporate groups typically shuttle from I-10 hotels; confirm the venue’s current group-vehicle entrance and whether a lakefront event that day has closed nearby parking.

61% of every request we get is for a Saturday, and another 20% for a Friday. That is why Saturday availability is the first thing to ask about. That's what other Kenner planners asked for — 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 Kenner 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.

Not necessarily. The images here are representative renderings of a vehicle class, not photos of a bus parked in Kenner. The company covering your route names the assigned vehicle in writing when you book. Before you pay, make sure that writing gives the specific vehicle, its legal seated capacity, the features you're counting on, and what happens if it's unavailable on the day — including whether a replacement could be a different size or class.

Ask in your first message, before you have a quote. Accessible vehicles are a small slice of any local fleet and they need more lead time. Tell them how many passengers use a wheelchair or mobility device, the type and weight, whether anyone can transfer to a seat, and whether you need a lift or a ramp. Ask in writing how the device is secured, what the usable door and interior height are, and how much notice they need. Then check the accessible entrance and loading spot with each venue — Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), 1 Terminal Drive and Rivertown historic district set their own access rules, and the right bus is no help at a door it can't reach.
