More About The 18 Passenger Party Bus
An 18-passenger party bus sits in a sweet spot — roomy enough for a full bachelorette or birthday group, compact enough to navigate Lafayette's busier corridors without the footprint of a full-size charter bus. Most 18-passenger buses run somewhere between 30 and 35 feet in length, which means they handle the turn from Johnston Street onto the parking apron at a mid-size venue far more cleanly than a 45-foot motorcoach would. The interior is typically configured with perimeter lounge seating along both sides, which keeps the group facing each other rather than staring at the back of someone's head — a big deal for a celebration ride versus a standard commuter trip.
For groups that have outgrown a Sprinter but don't quite need a 25-passenger bus, this is the right fit.

How much does an 18 Passenger Party Bus cost in Lafayette?
Planning-range rates for an 18-passenger party bus in Lafayette run $275–$350 per hour on weekdays and $275–$400 per hour on weekends, with per-day packages typically falling between $2,100 and $2,600. Weekend evening bookings — Friday and Saturday nights, Mardi Gras parade routes, Festival International weekend in late April — tend to land toward the higher end of that range because demand spikes hard during those windows. Weekday corporate shuttles or afternoon departure times generally come in closer to the floor.
Your price for your trip depends on the date, the total hours, and what's available on your specific date. That said, you could have a quote in about a minute. Use the online form or call 337-446-8700 — whichever is easier.
