A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Experience the Magic of Festival International de Louisiane
There is no event quite like Festival International de Louisiane, the largest outdoor Francophone event in the United States! Held every April in the heart of Downtown Lafayette (735 Jefferson St, Lafayette, LA 70501), this five-day festival transforms the city into a global stage featuring musicians, artists, and craftsmen from over 20 countries. With multiple stages spread across the downtown area—including Scène Lafayette and Scène International—the logistics of moving a large group through the massive crowds can be daunting. Parking in Downtown Lafayette becomes nearly non-existent during festival weekend, and navigating the road closures along Jefferson Street and Congress Street requires local expertise. When you book a private shuttle bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette, you can skip the hassle of remote parking lots and overcrowded city shuttles. Your driver will drop your group off as close to the action as possible and be ready to pick you up at a pre-arranged location when you’ve had your fill of world music and gourmet food.
Our fleet offers the perfect solutions for festival-goers who want to travel in comfort. Consider an 18-passenger or 25-passenger minibus for your group of friends, allowing you to stay together and pre-game with your favorite snacks while enjoying powerful air conditioning to beat the South Louisiana humidity. For larger organizations or church groups, our 56-passenger charter buses provide ample undercarriage storage for chairs, blankets, and coolers, plus an onboard restroom to minimize stops. Since 2011, we have helped thousands of people experience the magic of Festival International without the stress of navigating I-10 or the Evangeline Thruway during peak hours. Let us handle the driving while you enjoy the legendary hospitality of Acadiana!
Big Names and Big Energy at the CAJUNDOME & Cajundome Convention Center
For the biggest concerts, family shows, and trade events in Acadiana, the CAJUNDOME (444 Cajundome Blvd, Lafayette, LA 70506) is the ultimate destination. From chart-topping country stars and rock legends to the excitement of Disney on Ice, this 13,500-seat arena hosts the premier entertainment in the region. However, anyone who has attended a sold-out show at the CAJUNDOME knows that the traffic on West Congress Street and Eraste Landry Road can become a standstill hours before the curtain rises. Rather than dealing with the frustration of parking in the massive lots or waiting in long lines to exit after the encore, let Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette provide a seamless game-day or concert shuttle. We can pick up your group from any hotel in the Oil Center or River Ranch and deliver you right to the designated bus drop-off zone, ensuring you don't miss a single minute of the performance.
Our corporate clients and event planners also rely on us for transportation to the adjacent Cajundome Convention Center for large-scale trade shows and conventions. We can organize a fleet of minibuses to run continuous loops between the Hilton Garden Inn (2350 W Congress St, Lafayette, LA 70506) and the venue, keeping your attendees on schedule and professional. With amenities like high-speed WiFi and power outlets available upon request, your team can stay productive or share their excitement on social media while on the move. Whether you are bringing a group of 15 or a crowd of 500, we have the experience and the vehicles to handle CAJUNDOME events of any scale. Call us at 337-362-6030 to see how we can simplify your next big night out!
Elegance and Arts at the Heymann Performing Arts Center
When your itinerary includes a Broadway touring production, a symphony performance, or a formal dance event, the Heymann Performing Arts Center (1373 S College Rd, Lafayette, LA 70503) is the place to be. Known for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere, the Heymann Center is a staple of Lafayette's high-culture scene. For groups attending a performance by the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra or a graduation ceremony, arriving together in a sleek sprinter van or a 30-passenger minibus adds a touch of sophistication to the evening. You won't have to worry about your guests getting lost in the residential areas around Girard Park or struggling to find a parking spot on College Road. Your driver will provide curb-to-curb service, allowing everyone to arrive refreshed and ready for the show.
At Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette, we understand that these events often require precise timing. We work closely with planners to ensure that pickups at local favorites like Mazen's (5818 Johnston St, Lafayette, LA 70503) for pre-show dinners are executed perfectly. Our motorcoaches come equipped with plush reclining seats and climate control, making the short trip through the Oil Center a luxurious experience. If you’re organizing a school field trip to see an educational production, our buses provide a comfortable and controlled environment for students and chaperones alike. With over 15 years in business, we have the local knowledge to navigate S College Road and Pinhook Road traffic patterns, ensuring your group is never late for the opening number. Trust us to make your evening at the Heymann Center as smooth as the performance itself!
Friday Night Fun with Downtown Alive! and Rhythms on the River
Lafayette is famous for its outdoor concert series that celebrate the community and local talent. Downtown Alive! (DTA!) is a seasonal tradition held at Parc International (200 Garfield St, Lafayette, LA 70501) that brings thousands of people together on Friday nights for free music and dancing. Similarly, Rhythms on the River in River Ranch (1100 Camellia Blvd, Lafayette, LA 70508) offers a beautiful outdoor setting for groups to enjoy the best of South Louisiana’s musicians. These events are perfect for employee appreciation outings, family reunions, or just a fun night out with friends. However, the popularity of these series means that parking in the downtown garages or the River Ranch town center can be incredibly difficult. By renting a party bus or a minibus from Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette, your group can stay together, enjoy the music, and not worry about a single logistics detail.
A party bus is an especially popular choice for these events, featuring wraparound seating, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound systems to keep the party going between stops. You can start the fun at your house or office, head to DTA! for the show, and then have a guaranteed designated driver to take you to the nightlife on McKinley Street or the bars in the Pearl District. The drivers are familiar with the specific loading zones for Parc International and the parking regulations in River Ranch, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Whether you want a quick transfer or an hourly package for a night on the town, we can customize a transportation plan that fits your budget and your style. Don’t let the stress of driving ruin your Friday night—call us and let the good times roll!
Support the Ragin' Cajuns at UL Lafayette
Lafayette is a college town through and through, and nothing beats the excitement of a Ragin' Cajuns game day! Whether you are heading to Cajun Field (2351 W Congress St, Lafayette, LA 70506) for football or M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park for baseball, the sea of vermilion and white is a sight to behold. Large groups of fans, alumni associations, and even visiting teams rely on Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette for reliable game-day transport. Tailgating is a serious business in Lafayette, and our full-size charter buses offer massive undercarriage storage space for your tents, grills, coolers, and banners. Forget about coordinating a multi-car caravan through the congested University Avenue traffic; everyone can ride together and start the hype early with music and videos on the bus!
We also provide ongoing shuttle services for university departments, including campus tours for prospective students and transportation for Greek life events. If you’re planning a sorority formal at a venue like the Petroleum Club (111 Heymann Blvd, Lafayette, LA 70503) or a fraternity retreat out of town, we can provide the perfect size bus with a driver. Our team understands the unique needs of collegiate groups and offers flexible scheduling to accommodate late-night returns or early-morning departures. Since 2011, we have been the go-to provider for UL Lafayette fans and students, ensuring everyone gets to the stadium on time. Geaux Cajuns! Let us take care of the roads so you can focus on the win.
Cajun and Creole Culture at Festivals Acadiens et Créoles
Every October, Girard Park (500 Girard Park Dr, Lafayette, LA 70503) becomes the epicenter of Acadian culture during Festivals Acadiens et Créoles. This massive event features three distinct festivals in one: the Festival de Musique, the Bayou Food Festival, and the Louisiana Craft Fair. It is the world's largest Cajun and Zydeco festival, attracting fans of heritage and history from across the globe. Because Girard Park is located in a dense area near the university and local hospitals, parking for this event is notoriously difficult, with many surrounding streets restricted to residents. A private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette is the smartest way to transport your group to this cultural landmark. We can arrange for a convenient drop-off near the park entrance, saving your group from a long walk in the sun.
For out-of-town groups flying into Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT), we provide seamless airport transfer services directly to Girard Park or your local hotel. Your guests can relax in a climate-controlled cabin with reclining seats after their flight and enjoy a scenic ride through the historic Oil Center. The drivers know the best routes to avoid the bottleneck on Johnston Street during festival weekends. Whether you're a family bringing the kids to the "Place des Enfants" or a group of musicologists coming to study the local sounds, we’ll make sure your transportation is as smooth as a Cajun waltz. Call us 24/7 to get an instant quote and secure your bus for the fall festival season!
Weddings, Corporate Gatherings, and Private Events in Acadiana
While Lafayette is famous for its public festivals, it is also a top destination for private celebrations and professional gatherings. If you are planning a wedding at the Acadian Village (200 Greenleaf Dr, Lafayette, LA 70506) or a corporate retreat at a venue in River Ranch, Charter Bus Rental Company Lafayette is here to handle all your logistics. We specialize in custom wedding shuttle services that keep your guests moving on time between the ceremony, reception, and hotel blocks. You won't have to worry about anyone getting lost on the way to your rehearsal dinner at Ruffino’s on the River (921 Camellia Blvd, Lafayette, LA 70508) or needing a ride home after an open-bar reception. We can even provide a stylish party bus for your bachelor or bachelorette party, hitting all the best spots in the city with a built-in DD.
For our business community, we offer professional transportation solutions for every need, from employee commuter shuttles to VIP airport transfers. If you’re hosting a conference at the Le Pavillon at Parc Lafayette (1913 Kaliste Saloom Rd, Lafayette, LA 70508), we can provide sleek, modern minibuses that reflect the professional tone of your event. With amenities like leather seating and WiFi, your team can stay connected and productive while bypassing the traffic on Kaliste Saloom Road.

We've been serving the community since 2011 and would love to be a part of your next special event!

What types of buses can I book in Lafayette?
Our fleet is one of the largest and most diverse in the region, ensuring we have the perfect vehicle for any headcount or occasion! For small-to-midsize groups, we offer 15-, 18-, 25-, and 30-passenger minibuses, which are perfect for corporate shuttles, airport transfers, and wedding parties. These vehicles are nimble enough to navigate tight downtown streets but still offer great amenities like reclining seats and A/C. For larger groups, our 56-passenger full-size charter buses are the gold standard, featuring onboard restrooms, undercarriage luggage bays, and TV monitors. We also offer specialty vehicles like 14-passenger sprinter limos and 10-50 passenger party buses equipped with LED lighting and Bluetooth sound systems for celebrations. Whatever your group needs, we can mix and match vehicles to create a custom fleet for your event!
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Lafayette?
The cost of a charter bus rental in Lafayette ranges from $150 to $450+ per hour, or $1,200 to $3,200+ per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, the time of year, and your specific itinerary. Factors like mileage, trip duration, and the type of bus (minibus vs. full-size coach) will all impact the final price. For example, a local 4-hour wedding shuttle in a minibus will cost less than an all-day school field trip to New Orleans in a full-size motorcoach. Because demand for buses is highest during festival season (April and October) and during major university events, we recommend booking 3-6 months in advance to lock in the best rates. Call us at 337-362-6030 for a free, no-obligation quote tailored exactly to your needs!
